Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) lost his battle against the new health-care law but he already has a new target in sight: the Federal Communications Commission. The tea party member late Wednesday blocked the confirmation of Tom Wheeler as chairman of the FCC, saying he wanted greater assurance from President Obama’s nominee that the agency wouldn’t require more funding disclosures for political TV ads. Cruz has said that such free speech should be protected. When asked about the issue in a June confirmation hearing, Wheeler demurred, saying he would study the issue.

So he’s doing exactly what the GOP should be doing.

It’s time to stop “getting along” with fascists.

No compromise at all on anything. Fight every single issue to the bitter end, regardless of the odds.

We need to turn the government bureaucrat’s ability to accomplish anything into frozen sludge.

Go Ted.

:D

[JRandomFreeper]

All this is going to do is piss off the democrats and the rinos.

That's what I elected him to do. Go Cruz!

It is starting to look like there is no quit in Cruz.
He reminds me more and more of one of my heroes.
David Crockett. His party leaders hated him also. “It you know you are right, go ahead.”

I like that. It makes me, HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY.

[Viennacon]

He hasn’t even slowed.

KEEP ON TRUCKIN’, TED!

I really like this guy - I just hope he can stand up to the torrent of excrement that will be hurled at him by the leftist bastards who are undoing this great Nation!

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Exactly. Go Ted! You da man! If Obozo and his clowns are going to turn the economy and national debt into a circus, we might as well have some fun doing it.

And the predictable, knee jerk reaction from the left will be “Cruz is a terrorist/wife abuser/hostage taker/racist/homophobe.”

CRUZ for PRESIDENT

“.....Cruz is making the GOP the ‘fun’ Party... :) “

Yep... he sure is. I am so glad that we have him.

[Gator113]

It’s refreshing...

[jsanders2001]

I wish they’d clone him X 50 just to see him drive the and 0 crazy.

Doing it for the Country, not for the power trip like my Senator McShamnesty.
