Ted Cruz Thread

[supsalemgr]

Tavis Smiley accused Ted of being "distasteful" after the Charleston shootings.  See how Ted knocks that softball out of the park!!!

We all know Smiley is left of left and Cruz knows that as well. He was totally prepared for another shallow lib accusation. This is why the left is very concerned abut Cruz.

He missed (or passed) on an opportunity to nail Obama's divisive response to the massacre. 

Cruz is always wise in his responses.  He also uses dignity and class in his responses to "gotcha" questions.

I could swear I started a thread on the flag imbroglio this morning. It seems to have vanished
faster than fast food at a hippie party.

If a thread disappears, always search other forums, sometimes when the same topic is hot and too many threads become redundant, they all get moved to keep Poli open for other stories.

Ted Cruz speaks at the Heritage Foundation and likens Washington to a Cartel that conspires against Americans.....


Washington lawmakers had installed a system of centralized planning he likened to the Soviet Union, where "politicians picked the winners and losers" in the business world, "And the losers are the American people."

"It's the same as taxation without representation," reflected Cruz, because "our representatives aren't representing us, they represent giant corporations and lobbyists."

And he didn't spare Republicans from blame. In fact, he especially blamed his own party's brass, wondering, "Why is it our leaders always side with Democrats and big business and throw overboard the conservatives who elected them?"

"When the most vulnerable are hurting, Washington jumps into action, but Washington is looking for solutions for Washington," not ordinary Americans, claimed Cruz.

The political class will hurt Americans in order to help big business, he bluntly stated.

Tavis Smiley is a lightweight.

I'm always amazed by his class and dignity. That's why he's a STATESMAN.

Can't wait to see him in a real debate with Hillary.

Can someone point me in the right direction for an article concerning Ted Cruz and his Social Security privatization plan. Very interested in learning his view on this!

I've looked some, but I can't find anything with much substance

This is not extremely detailed but it would require heavy input by Congress.  Remember!  POTUS does not make laws.

Appreciate this! My thoughts on SS exactly!
Is it a well-liked proposal? Or are groups like AARP up in arms?

Who cares what AARP thinks. They are nothing more than an arm for the democrat party.

VERY TRUE !!!!

Who cares about what anyone else thinks about an issue? 

Does it pass the test of our critical thinking?!!

Just asking, I also enjoy seeing who opposes a certain issue and why. It's for my own personal interest, not for changing my personal opinion. Thanks for your concern!

Think of it like the ethanol issue, where we, the taxpayer, subsidizes corn ethanol for big ag cronyism.
Ethanol is more polluting than not using it, corrodes engines and it's components.
But the people making money off of it are backing pols that keep this farse alive.

Point is, just because big names are behind an issue, is even more reason to question it, especially AARP, a know socialist org.

AARP has been selling us old people down the drain for years.
