exas Sen. Ted Cruz said Saturday that he would not support Loretta Lynch for attorney general and that the only "way to defeat ISIS is a simple and clear military objective.
"We will destroy them," Cruz said of the Islamic State to cheers at the Republican Leadership Summit in Nashua, N.H.
[snip]
"We need a commander-in chief who says the objective is not to weaken, not to degrade ISIS," Cruz said in answering a summit participant's question. "It is to utterly and completely destroy ISIS.
[snip]
Any decision on whether to use American combat troops should be "driven by the military necessities of accomplishing the goal of destroying ISIS," he said, and any U.S. involvement in any military conflict "should begin with a congressional authorization or a declaration of war."
Regarding Lynch, the senator said to applause: "My vote on Loretta Lynch is going to be unambiguously no. Unequivocal."
[snip]
He said that when he asked Lynch whether she would support Obama's amnesty orders, "she said absolutely yes.
"I asked if there were any limits to this executive amnesty," Cruz added, and the nominee "refused to answer this question. She refused to acknowledge any limits on the president's authority.
"In my view, when you have an attorney general nominee who looks at the United States Senate and says he or she will not enforce any constitutional limits whatsoever on the power of the president, there is no way in good conscience … to vote to confirm such a nominee."

Obvious to us and to anyone with half a brain. Unfortunately, most of the Republicans in the Senate are sharing just one brain cell.
LOL
Unambiguous!!?
He’s not playing right.
And that braincell is not firing on all cylinders.
.
Go Ted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
.
Thank you, Ted. The DBM might call you a sexist and a racist, thou.
Contrast that with the Jebster whining that we haven’t voted on her “since we all know she’ll end up being confirmed.”
Cruz talks the talk and walks the walk. He doesn’t just say mealy mouthed crap like, “She is probably not the more advantageous choice, however, she brings with her the qualities the administration desires and we must respect those choices.”
Cruz simple says, “Nope”, then votes, “Nay!”
For a stronger America
there is only one choice:
CRUZ BACHMANN
Ted is right on every issue, and says the same thing to every audience. This is uncommon, if not unique, among politicians, and especially among presidential candidates.
The only reason he's the only one on my voting card right now. Not a single other one of the yokels even come close to rating.
-— Cruz is doing very well in Iowa. VERY WELL!! -—
More info please! 8-)
....” the only “way to defeat ISIS is a simple and clear military objective......”We will destroy them,” Cruz said of the Islamic State to cheers at the Republican Leadership Summit.”......
I do believe it’s possible the Islamic leaders know well the next President will do just that....and they are preparing for full out war.
-— I said because you two looked like crazy young kids chasing me and wanting to fight me! lol. They let me go and said enjoy the car. -—
My nephew told me he was driving with his friend who got pulled over by the cops.
The cop walked up to the driver’s side and said, “I’ve been waiting for you all day.”
The kid replied, “I got here as fast as I could.”
The cop laughed so much he decided to let him go with a warning.
I said to my nephew, “Wow! Your friend must be very quick.”
“He’s not. He’s as dumb as a box of rocks.”
Yeah.
What he said.
funny story lol.
One time in my wild youth, I got pulled over and cop was going to give me SIX tickets. Except he lost my license in his car somehow and only gave me one ticket. I think my guardian angel had something to do with it :)
6 tickets! Wow, you definitely caught a break there. I got 2 within a half hour in my misspent youth, and I thought that was impressive.
