Ted Cruz endorses John Cornyn
Washington Post ^ | March 5, 2014 | Sean Sullivan

Posted on 03/05/2014 4:44:02 PM PST by Innovative

"John is a friend, and a good man. He's earned considerable respect in the Senate. We have not agreed on everything, but we have agreed on the vast majority of issues. Together, we're a strong and effective team for Texas," Cruz wrote, later adding that he is "proud" to endorse Cornyn.

Negative.

Here in TEXAS, TED CRUZ is in the drivers seat. John Wayne McCornyn is not.

Knowing Senator Cruz, he is taking the high road. McCornyn doesn’t have that map.

John Cornyn has a lifetime 93% conservative voting record and he was at 96% for his Senate votes in 2013 according to the American Conservative Union’s Ratings of Congress.

Cruz is either not fooling anyone or being incredibly naïve himself. Cornyn knows Cruz was hoping he'd get knocked off in the primaries and isn't going to forget it.

Tejas will learn that re-electing the RINO will never work. They deserve all that is coming to them. Sad day really.

I voted “for” Romney and am sorry that I did. I have long since decided that I will NEVER vote for a certain LOSER that I will be required to hold my nose for, again.

The 2012 race was lost the very minute that the GOP Establishment succeeded in shoving that turd down our throats.

Who will they choose for us, next? JEB BUSH? MARCO RUBIO? CHRIS CRISTIE? BOBBY JINDAL?

No Thanks!

Being the Statist that Romney is, he would be marginally better than The Stain, no question.

As to AMNESTY, I have a simple solution.

Break into my house and I assure you that I will not be laying out a Red Carpet.

Rather, I will be making a call to the County Coroner to come and retrieve an unwanted carcass.

Immediately cut off all Social Services, Food Stamps, Second Language Schools and other Goodies and see how quickly the ILLEGAL ALIENS/INVADERS head back to whatever Third World Craphole that they came from.

“Ooops! Big setback for the keyboard warriors here who have no clue about how politics works. The same dumbasses who refused to vote for Romney and gave us 4 more yeras of obamanation.”

Bingo.

Romney was unelectable. That is proven, since he wasn't elected.

The dumbasses were the GOP-E that lied and cheated to get him the nomination, thinking they could sneak another liberal republican through.

They will double down on their stupidity if they push another liberal republican for president.

Cornyn is the one that has been stabbing TED CRUZ in the back from day one.

If I were him, I would start watching my own back.

McCornyn is the real second stringer from TEXAS and he knows it.

Do not under-estimate the intelligence or guts that TED CRUZ has, in spades.

Trust me on this.

I got a graphic share on FAcebook, Anne Coulter making the point about higher minimum wage would be possible if the spigot of cheap illegal labor were shut.

Cardenas is for open borders and hates most of the Tea Party.

I don’t think Cornyn will push amnesty until 2015. He might try in the lame duck but he wont try before November because of people voting to punish.

Alameel is all in for amnesty ASAP. Cornyn tried to push his stupid Cornyn Con and Schumer and Heritage shot him down.

The only difference I would say is having an open borders Hispanic Democrat win statewide in Texas or Arizona would be a bad optic. That is why I wouldn’t have liked to see Jeff Flake lose to Carmona. Jeff Flake ran the election on securing the border and he was elected. Flake and McCain made such a terrible amnesty bill it actually helped. If there were more patient the Stupid Party in the House would have tried to pass amnesty lite.

I think Alameel is actually an Arab though.

That’s ok. I’m still with Cruz. We’’ll have to endure another Cornyn for a while longer. I think he’s been scared shi!less and will watch what he does from now on.

There is no question that Romney would have been a better President than Obama, but I do question whether, in the end, Romney would have been better for the Republican future than Obama.

Four more years of Obama, combined with the devastating rollout of Obamacare and the now evident results of his feckless foreign policy, just might set the Democrat brand back a decade or more.

Romney, if President, might well have tried to tweak Obamacare, rather than repeal it, and would certainly have had the MSM crawling all over him looking for every misstep they could trumpet.

Instead, even the MSM is forced to concede that things are not going well (although they’ll never ever quit pimping for liberals) and it’s Obama’s missteps that are becoming too obvious, and too frequent, to ignore.

My greatest fear is that Obama will still get the chance to nominate enough liberals to turn the 5-4 Supreme Court into 5-4, or even 6-3, the other way, in which case we are all screwed.

The Senate has already passed 'immigration reform' with Cornyn's help.
