Cruz "shifted the focus to the Democrats." Again, I appreciate the goal and the sentiments, but it's hardly as clear as Trump saying "I WOULD SHUT DOWN . . ." right?

I mean, I don't get it. Here is a guy saying exactly what everyone here wants all our candidates to say, and people still make excuses for the other guys who don't say it.

WHat does shutting down and defending accomplish? How about sending some of the culprits to the slammer or at least pulling their license to practice medicine. If they are defended some liberal will just take a tax right off. The states investigating for criminal actions are on target.

If GOPee had any Balls they would expose the attempt to eliminate the negroid race as supported by the history of Margaret Sangor writing and relationship to Hitler plus the locations of the clinics and the percentage of racial babies targeted. PP is the epitome of the term “racist” and the PC weak kneed republicans are in the most part supporting it by their silence.

If it’s a strategic limited government, constitutional position, safe to assume, that the road leads back to Ted Cruz.

July 27, 2015-

“Calling next week’s Senate roll call to defund Planned Parenthood a “legislative show vote,” GOP firebrand Ted Cruz said Republicans should do everything they can to eliminate federal money for the group — even if it means a government shutdown fight this fall.”

First, I prefer Trump's directness. However, I believe that Cruz is saying the same thing ... just in a different way, due to Cruz trying to have others support him on this in the Senate.

Ted Cruz is trying to defund PP. In order to get all of the GOP senate and at least 7 RATs to vote to defund, he is being coy about who is 'shutting down the Government' and over what issue. It is preferable to achieve a successful cloture vote if it is the minority that is 'shutting down the government' rather than the majority.

I'm sure Ted Cruz would prefer to have the luxury of just saying ... "I ... would shut it down."
