.....Cruz, who is considered a potential candidate for president in 2016, was introduced by former Sen. Phil Gramm. Gramm compared Cruz’s effort to derail Obamacare — against the wishes of some in his own party — to the siege of the Alamo. Gramm acknowledged Republicans were hurt politically by the government shutdown, according to polls. Gramm noted that when Col. Travis drew a line in the sand, some volunteers crossed it and some did not. “The ones who didn’t cross the line died too. But no one remembered their names,” he said.......

Sept 29, 2013 - Ted Cruz paints Democrats as the absolutists on Obamacare, cites Phil Gramm as role model "......Defending his high-profile fight to stymie Obamacare, the health care law enacted three years ago, whose main provisions kick in on Tuesday, he recalled the fight 20 years ago over “Hillarycare.”
“The senator I most admire was former Texas Senator Phil Gramm,” Cruz said.
With other Republicans willing to accept a “light” version, Cruz recalled, “Phil Gramm strode out there, and he said…`This will pass over my cold, dead, political body.’ And a whole lot of Republicans who were scared, they looked over. He wasn’t killed. They ran behind him, and they said, `Yeah, yeah, what he said.’ Look, the power of leadership can change debates.”
ONLY because the EXEMPT, corrupt, and hated US Congress
is paid off enough with $$$$, women, and drugs.
And so it goes.
And Cruz is spot on about former Senator Phil Gramm. There was a man with real backbone and leadership ability.
Which is why leftists, depraved and hating liberty, support him so!
What does he mean “like”?
The Obama Administration Culture is based on lies, persecution of political opponents, and violating the US Constitution.
Under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House John Boehner, the GOP Establishment Congressional Culture is based on becoming more like the Obama Administration Culture.
By design, the GOP Establishment has become a doormat speed bump for Obamacrat politicians on the very wide, and well lighted Highway to European Socialism.
Without the capable cave-in expertise of McConnell and Boehner, the successful fundamental transformation of America into a weak, financially devastated, morally corrupt, unreliable, former World Power would not have been possible.
To those US Senators and House members who still support McConnell and Boehner, remember Einstein’s definition of insanity:
“INSANITY IS DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND EXPECTING DIFFERENT RESULTS.”

Like a corrupt dictator? He is one.
The MSM keeps trying to connect those 2 things
Okay. I've watched conservatives eat their own while RINOs get the nomination. Just curious, since Ted is out, who is up next?
link?
Has Ted come out for amnesty?
Obama isn’t LIKE a corrupt dictator.
He IS a corrupt dictator.
What about those millions whose freedoms and liberties have been severely curtailed?
If Ted has come out in favor of amnesty, then he loses a ton of support.
I wonder how many Texans LOST their health insurance because of Obamacare, which Cruz was speaking out against.
Dec. 19, 2013 - “Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) predicted Thursday that House Republicans pushing for passage of any amnesty package in 2014 will ensure Democrats and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid maintain control of the Senate.
Not only that, but Cruz argued that all House Republican engaged in passage of any amnesty should put a “Harry Reid for Majority Leader” bumper sticker on their cars.”....
