I don't know about that. My rental property in the US was always a nice write off.

Nah, the Tea Party isn't dead, but it's doing a grand job of killing the GOP

Our Ted calls out the Obummer again for arming Islamist Rebels in Syria:

"Don't Give Weapons To People That Hate Us"

Then again, Obama hates us...

"While most of the Senate is debating immigration reform this afternoon – Sen. Ted Cruz took time to deliver an address on the Senate floor criticizing President Obama for his decision to intervene in Syria.

Cruz warned that there were elements of Al Qaeda supporting the rebels and highlighted reports of some of them desecrating churches, kidnappings, rapes, and beheadings.

“These forces are engaged with a deadly struggle with the Assad regime and President Obama has chosen this moment to signal that it is now suddenly in our vital security interests to intervene in Syria,” Cruz said. “It seems far more likely a recipe for disaster.”

Ted Cruz blasts Obama:

Well, we already know it's gonna be a disaster but Obama is going ahead anyway...another quagmire.

Cruz will help turn Texas blue, because of his vote/s on immigration.

Let’s see how that will look for Hillary. 332 electoral votes Obama received in the last election plus Texas’s 38 electoral votes equals 370 for Hillary and her opponent will get 168.

370 for Hillary

The view of Cruz from Latina Lista,………

Two senators that have been major thorns in the sides of the Gang of Eight during these senate debates over immigration reform have been two men that hail from the same state — Texas.

Sen. John Cornyn and Sen. Ted Cruz have both been uncompromising in their attitudes and not shy about their disdain for a bill, when passed, will not only jeopardize each man’s political future but could make the GOP the minority party in the state.

That might explain Cruz’s purposeful disconnect with his fellow Latinos in the Lone Star State and Cornyn’s disingenuous attempts to mask his so-called support of the bill with what has been called out by observers as a ‘poison pill’ amendment.

In a rational world, the actions of these two senators would seem irrational. After all, Texas is a border state with the second highest undocumented population in the country. As of now, 38 percent of Texas’ population is Latino vs. 45 percent Anglo – that’s only a 7 percent difference. A gap that won’t take too long to bridge.

Texas is already classified as “majority-minority” with 55.5 percent of the state’s population comprised of people of color. In the latest U.S. Census analysis, three of the six counties that became majority-minority in 2012 were in Texas.

Not to mention that whites in the under-5 age group are expected to tip to a minority this year or next, according to the U.S. Census.

So why are Cornyn and Cruz refusing to accept, but more importantly, represent the majority of their constituents when it comes to immigration reform and other issues that have been documented as being very important to minority voters, like Obamacare?

The perception is that both men are only interested in representing a very narrow niche/ideology of select Texas voters. Voters with money who can command the kind of attention that 55.5 percent of the state’s population can’t. A niche that may not be around in its present ‘state’ come the next election.

Cornyn is due for re-election in 2014 and Cruz has his sights set on even higher office. Yet, whether these men believe it or not, their continued attacks and disingenuous tactics to prevent immigration reform from becoming a reality will not only be remembered by this generation and the new generation of Texas Latino voters, but may very well be the impetus needed to finally turn Texas Blue — and turn Cruz and Cornyn red with embarrassment for contributing to their party’s demise in Texas.

Echoing Ronald Reagan's “A Time for Choosing” speech (video), Ted Cruz twitters:

Growing up my dad often told me,

"When we faced oppression in Cuba, we had a place to flee to. If we lose our freedom here, where do we go?"

Hate to break it to ya Ted but we've lost our freedom quite a while ago...

Didn't Cruz' dad fight on Castro's side? He'd be labelled a terrorist now and sent to Gitmo.

Anyway, I suppose Cruz could always go back to Canada if he so scared of oppression in the US.

Yeah, right. You are so woefully out of touch it's painful to read your posts.

Didn't see where the RCMP went into the evacuated homes in Calgary and rounded up all guns/weapons for "safe keeping"? That's like, w/out permission to enter a home - no warrant, no nothing. We're the Government and we're here to help!

Man, them Canadians are regretting not having the 2nd Amendment...

**bsnub** · 01-07-2013, 04:49 PM

Just who is out of touch? Clowned again boontard.

"In an interview near his home outside Dallas, the elder Cruz says that as a teenager, he fought alongside Fidel Castro’s forces to overthrow Cuba’s U.S.-backed dictator, Fulgencio Batista. He was caught by Batista’s forces, he says, and jailed and beaten before being released. It was 1957, and Cruz decided to get out of Cuba by applying to the University of Texas. Upon being admitted, he adds, he got a four-year student visa at the U.S. Consulate in Havana.

“Then the only other thing that I needed was an exit permit from the Batista government,” Cruz recalls. “A friend of the family, a lawyer friend of my father, basically bribed a Batista official to stamp my passport with an exit permit.”

Hate to say it, BM - but you got severely PWNED by the Cruz-Papa posts

Try Europe or Oz -but most of you guys are far too right-wing to fit in

Yup, Eisenhower warned of the military-industrial complex and Baby Bush and his handler Cheney put it in full force

You need to admit it sometimes, BM, the right has let the country down far too often because they pander to big business

Our Ted Nails It Again!

Precedent: If One President Can Unilaterally Rewrite the Law of ObamaCare and Choose to Not Enforce It, Why Can Another President Not Do the Same, But Refuse to Enforce Any of It?

If Obama can change the law by whim according to his political needs by unilateral executive action, doesn't that mean that a conservative president can do so as well? Like, say President 'Walker' or 'Cruz' follow suit, that's just following precedent...

You never know...

**panama hat** · 03-07-2013, 10:26 AM

True, true . . . I just can't see Cruz being a front-runner because he polarises people in the GOP . . . you want a Hispanic to get the Hispanic votes you won't get anyway? Marco 'Thirsty' Rubio is a better bet.

Walker? Please say you don't think he would be any good . . .

Well, look at the positive change in WI with him at the helm. Got those nasty unions in line.

^ Can't argue with that . . .

I'm no great union lover anymore, but they certainly do still have their place in the workforce (private)

As usual boon peepee will not address this and will just throw up a cut and paste spam the next time he posts on this thread.

**Boon Mee** · 09-07-2013, 11:33 AM

Yep...we got 'em...

**Boon Mee** · 09-07-2013, 04:10 PM

Senator Ted Cruz's father. Wow. This is impressive as hell.

Why Marxism sucks...

Watching this you can understand why Ted is as awesome as he is!

Washington Post Now Has Two Pages Worth of Ted Cruz Birtherism Stories Running - running scared or what?

They must really love this guy!

**Pound Hound** · 21-08-2013, 09:46 AM

you do see the irony boon?

people like you who have spent years going on and on about Obama being born in Kenya so he can't legally be president. On the other hand there is a guy named Ted Cruz who you like and was born in Canada to an American mother who you see no problem with being president.

Obama was born in Hawaii... but even if he was born to an American mother in Kenya according to the Cruz standard he is legally fit to be president.

are you missing what everyone else is seeing?

and that's just comedic gold!

His name is Rafael Cruz.

Anyway, Canada is the true monster here. They sent down Celine Dion, Ted Cruz, and Justin Bieber. One is a total diva, and the other two are just crappy singers.
