***RUSH TRANSCRIPT**
BOB SCHIEFFER: We want to turn now to the President's State of the Union speech on Tuesday and we're going to Houston and the Tea Party Republican, Ted Cruz who led the shutdown of the government last fall because the president wouldn't agree to shut down Obamacare.
Senator, thank you for coming. You have already released a list of issues you want the president to address in his State of the Union speech including you want a new investigation into the Benghazi controversy and into the IRS. You want him to admit that his economic program has failed, that it was a mistake to pass Obamacare on a party line vote. Senator, that sounds like you want a confession, not a speech.
SEN. TED CRUZ: Well, what I've put out are the questions that I'm hearing from Texans all over the state. I've spent a lot of time traveling the state of Texas, listening to Texans. And the questions they raise over and over again, they say, "Why are jobs are economic growth so dismal?"
We've got the lowest labor force participation in over three decades, since 1978. And if President Obama wants to give an honest, candid State of the Union address this week, he'll address the fact that his economic policies are not working and that they're exacerbating income inequality. They're hurting the people who are struggling the most.
See, each of the questions I've put up are questions that the people are asking. Now, I think the odds that the president will answer them are not high, but it's what he should if he was listening to the concerns the people are raising.

Or the Old Scratch if Schieffer isn’t completely familiar with him already. ;-]
They cannot manage the news anymore. That’s why we need to keep the FCC out of the Internet. We don’t need them and they’ll just create a crony capitalist mess out of it.
Let’s keep the Internet government and tax free.
All major internet portals are pretty much controlled by liberals/progressives/libertarians.
I’d think it was more libertarian than otherwise, but they do make their business spying and manipulating people, so you’re on to something.
