Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, accused President Barack Obama of using the Sandy Hook school shooting for political gain on Thursday.

((snip))

"It is saddening to see the president today, once again, try to take advantage of this tragic murder to promote an agenda that will do nothing to stop violent crime, but will undermine the constitutional rights of all law-abiding Americans," Cruz said in statement.

Yes, I really like Cruz and it’s because he has the guts to say it like it is.

Yes, he obviously is, Mr. Cruz.

So, what’s to be done about it?

Obama is a fascist dictator. Usually the people will turn against them unless, of course, they’re buying support with other peoples’ money. So I don’t know what can be done. Just hope we can survive it, I guess.

To get an idea of how he operates, look back to the spar with DiFi and then back to a cartoon long ago with the two vultures setting on a branch. One says to the other, “Patience my ass, I’m gonna kill something!”

The patient one knows the meals will come to him. The impatient one only listens to his stomach.

Cruz asked the question that she launched into a false indignant tirade. He patiently gave her all the time she wanted to try and obfuscate the question and when she was finished, in a very calm and measured response, thanked her for her views on her self described qualifications and experiences but then reminded her she didn’t answer the question.

She relented with a simple two word answer. “Obviously, No”

Now he could have gone after her with his own tirade as you appeared to want, but his patience to let her and her buddies, Schmuckie Schumer and Depends Leahy, all look like the fools they are in one shot.

Game, set, match. Now he is setting his volley for game two since Obama was not satisfied the first beating was not bad enough. Now “The Beast” as my wife refers to him, and ironically was shown in episode 3 of “The Bible”, is doubling down for what will prove out to be another BI-itch slap down twice as bad as the first one when even his Universal Background Checks can’t get 50 votes in the Senate.

Why oh why oh why can't we have a WHOLE party where this is the automatic reaction, thought and statements of the party.

Finally, a true statesman who has the backbone to face evil.

Ted Cruz mentioned that again in his speech last night at the Nuceces County Republican Party Lincoln Dinner last night aboard the USS Lexington (CV-16).

Sen. Cruz is 100% correct-Obama is using New town to push his Gun Control Nazi agenda. And I’m sure the Liberal MSM will attack Cruz soon

Oh Ted! Your going to make old moss back McCain unhappy.

Might not be a bad idea to keep tweaking McCain's nose - he might go so far over the deep end that only the Democrats would have him - not much of a step for him anyhow...

It is the despicable among us who use dead children for props and shields.

The GOP needs a media war room. Fast responses challenging the Leftists.

I second that.

Well, I like Ted Cruz a lot, let me just say that, however, even though he did make them look like fools, that isn’t going to stop them at all.

They are going to continue regardless of what they were made to look like.

What I’m more concerned about is that Swinestein and Shmuckey are making the American citizens look like fools.

At least Sen. Cruz is a no-nonsense Senator.

This is true. The senate needs 99 more people just like him.

I know I seem negative, Cruz is very effective, but one man such as him is not enough to set this country back on course.

I mean almost all of the rest of the GOP is just...I can’t even think of words low enough to describe them.
