Ted Cruz on ‘Partisan’ Mainstream Media

by

Ted Cruz sat down with Howard Kurtz for an interview on Fox News slamming ‘partisan’ mainstream media.

HOWARD KURTZ: When you bash the media, and you have been treated unfairly at times portrayed as somebody who scares little children, but isn’t that in your interest to do that? Your base loves that. They don’t like the mainstream media.

TED CRUZ: There is a reason they don’t like the mainstream media because they are partisan liberal democrats.

 

KURTZ: Every single journalist?

CRUZ: Almost without exception.

KURTZ: Almost without exception?

CRUZ: Almost without exception they have a partisan agenda. And we understand – let’s take a substantive issue: police officers. If you have one police officer somewhere who does something he shouldn’t have, the press will breathlessly report on this terrible, horrible police officer and all the democratic politicians will jump in and demonize and vilify the cops. Let me ask you something? How come the press doesn’t tell stories of heroism? The great news is we don’t live anymore in a world of three networks that have a stranglehold on information. We have got the internet. We have got the Drudge Report. We have got talk radio. We have got social media. We’ve got the ability to go directly around, and directly to the people.

Donald Trump Goes Full Birther on Ted Cruz

by

Donald Trump has finally decided to play dirty politics and go all in on Ted Cruz and the birther argument.

Early on in his campaign, Trump was all about supporting Cruz and even tried to put a stop to the birther claims.

The Washington Post reports:

Donald Trump said in an interview that rival Ted Cruz’s Canadian birthplace was a “very precarious” issue that could make the senator from Texas vulnerable if he became the Republican presidential nominee.

“Republicans are going to have to ask themselves the question: ‘Do we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years?’ That’d be a big problem,” Trump said when asked about the topic. “It’d be a very precarious one for Republicans because he’d be running and the courts may take a long time to make a decision. You don’t want to be running and have that kind of thing over your head.”

This is exactly how Trump plays his cards. When he feels like he’s losing, he tries to play dirty. There’s only one problem. Cruz has a sense of humor about things, and he responds in that same fashion.

Ted Cruz explains:

Watch the Ted Cruz ‘Christmas Classics’ Parody

by

The Ted Cruz campaign has released a ‘Cruz Christmas Classics’ parody infomercial set to run during the broadcast of Saturday Night Live.

Campaign spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told the Independent Journal:

“In the spirit of the upcoming holiday, we are excited to bring a Cruz family Christmas into the homes of SNL viewers in Iowa. Ted is a long time fan of SNL, so the chance to film his own SNL-style commercial was an opportunity we couldn’t pass up!”

How can you not want to snuggle up and hear these new ‘classics’ this year like “How Obamacare Stole Christmas”, or “The Grinch Who Lost Her Emails”, or even “Frosty the Speaker of the House.”

These ‘Cruz Christmas Classics’ are sure to be a hit!

Speaker Boehner Calls Ted Cruz a ‘Jackass’

by

In Colorado at a fundraiser, Speaker John Boehner called Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz a ‘jackass’ according to two attendees at the event.

Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, said:

“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans.”

According to the report via Daily Caller:

Another Steamboat Springs resident confirmed Boehner’s remark: “I about fell on the floor.”

“To build coalitions to work together in Washington, D.C., you don’t start it out by calling your colleague a ‘jackass,’” she said.

by

[powerpress]

In this episode, I discuss the toxic duo of ObamaCore and ObamaCare, Ted Cruz fighting Amnesty and if cops should be able to search your cell phone without a warrant.

Caution: Government Waste Ahead

Power Quote of the Week:

Robert Nisbet as he reflected on what the Framers would think after they saw the size and scope of the current government.

ObamaCore (Common Core) and Obamacare

Ted Cruz is Fighting Amnesty

Can Cops Search Your Cell Phone Without a Warrant?

  • http://freedomworks.org/content/supreme-court-decide-if-police-can-search-through-your-cell-phone-without-warrant
  • That’s the question that the Supreme Court is set to make a decision on
  • One side of the argument says the cell phone is no different than say your wallet/purse
  • The other side says it’s too intrusive
  • “A cell phone has the same contents that the home did in the founding era, it has digital equivalents of papers, letters, drawings, private financial documents, private medical documents,” said Jim Harper, an attorney with the libertarian Cato Institute.

TSV001: Insanity within the GOP

by

[powerpress]

In this episode, I talk about the insanity within the GOP, the Supreme Court ruling on aggregate campaign funding, and why some on the Left are wanting Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg to retire.

Power Quote of the Week

  • James Madison – Federalist No. 10

  • “Complaints are every where heard from our most considerate and virtuous citizens, equally the friends of public and private faith, and of public and personal liberty, that our governments are too unstable; that the public good is disregarded in the conflicts of rival parties; and that measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice, and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”

Supreme Court ruling on aggregate campaign funding

Insanity within the GOP

  • promoting potential candidates that people don’t want

  • pandering big money donors to get behind them also

  • Ted Cruz comes across as a normal dude

    • got a fake tattoo for April fools – people connect with a guy like that

  • Tea Party Community poll

Going forward to 2016 message

  • battle between baby-boomers and millennials

  • how do you sell the message

Pressure on Ginsburg to retire

  • why?

  • she’s the oldest justice

  • not liberal enough?

  • get a younger harder liberal in her place

Selling Jeb Bush: The Insanity Within the GOP Circle (via http://www.newsninja2012.com)

If someone in the GOP has a crystal ball, then they are already trying to spoil it for everyone else. Let’s think that over. Some in the mainstream media and within the Republican establishment have already picked a winner to receive the nomination…

Sen Ted Cruz Request for Full Investigation on Benghazi Scandal Turned Down by Sen Barbara Boxer

by

Sen Ted Cruz

Today, Ted Cruz took the Senate Floor requesting a full investigation into the Benghazi Scandal.

He is calling for a Joint Committee of both the Senate and House to head this investigation.

He, like many people, want answers. It’s been over a year since the attack, and we still don’t have the answers.

Objection came from Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer saying that “politics were being injected into such a tragedy.”

Ted Cruz Heckled at Defund Obamacare Event

by

Sen. Ted Cruz Heckled at Anti Obamacare Town Hall Event in Dallas

Last night, Ted Cruz was heckled during his speech at a Defund Obamacare event that was organized by Heritage Action for America.

Before the men were drowned out with chants of “USA,” they started with their own chant of: “You have health care, so can we!”

Instead of ignoring them and brushing their comments off, he addressed them. Even agreeing with them, Cruz said “They should have health care, and Obamacare is causing more and more people struggling to climb the economic ladder to lose their health care.”

The truth is that more and more people are being forced to lose their current insurance, a promise Obama used to sell it to people. Each day that goes by, businesses slash hours of their employees so they don’t have to provide insurance benefits. The most recent to hit the list, UPS!

UPS is ending insurance coverage of 15,000 working spouses. Their reason? COST!

There are more than enough reasons to defund Obamacare. And thanks to the work of Jim Demint and Heritage Action, people are starting to pay more attention.
