Republican senator Ted Cruz of Texas said Thursday that Barack Obama is "high on his own power" with regard to the president's announced efforts on gun control. Speaking on Laura Ingraham's radio talk show, Cruz, who was just elected to the Senate last November, said "this is a president who has drunk the Kool-Aid."
"He is feeling right now high on his own power, and he is pushing on every front, on guns," Cruz said. "And I think it's really sad to see the president of the United States exploiting the murder of children and using it to push his own extreme, anti-gun agenda. I think what the president is proposing and the gun control proposals that are coming from Democrats in the Senate are, number one, unconstitutional, and number two, they don't work. They're bad policy."
Cruz told Ingraham that he does not believe Obama will be successful in passing gun control legislation and that the political ramifications of pursuing such laws could be bad for Democrats.

Oh, how I hope that you're right.
‘I thought Romney did a fine job for the most part. But he was not a match for the Democrat ground game (i.e. busing illegal voters to precincts where no ID was needed and hacking the electoral process in swing states...and cheating anywhere and everywhere).’
Romney went a little soft on BO in the debates because of the MSM ability to make him look like a raving right-winger nutcase if he tried to take on BO. But Diogenesis real gripe with Romney is that he is a mormon. just check out most of his postings and see.
He’s “smelling himself”, as we used to say around here when some teenager would start to think a bit too highly of himself......
...for now. After a couple of years inside the beltway, Cruz will morph into Rubio, and like so many conservatives before him who go to Washingington DC with principle, he will become drunk on his own power and his primary principle will be appeasing his buddies in the counnty club known as the "U.S. Senate" and winning the next election.
I heard his remarks on KLBJ in Austin this morning. I am so glad he was elected. Is is so much better than KBH as a senator.
Is is - He is
