put on your elephant dung hip boots is coming your way.
Addressing a roomful of well-heeled New York Republican donors Wednesday night, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz urged his fellow GOPers to become less the Party of Romney and the Rich and focus their rhetoric more on providing the poor with a pathway up the economic ladder.
“I am going to suggest that the last election can be explained in two words: 47 percent,” Cruz said, referencing Mitt Romney’s secretly recorded remarks to an earlier group of Republican donors in which he suggested that nearly half of Americans were on some kind of government dole and so unlikely to support him.
“The national narrative of the last election was the 47 percent of Americans who are not currently paying income taxes, who are in some ways dependent on government, we don’t have to worry about them,” Cruz said. “That was what was communicated in the last election. I have to tell you as a conservative I cannot think of an idea more opposite to what I believe. I think Republicans are and should be the party of the 47 percent.”
this guy is showing the mixed concerns of his party and the pretentous rhetoric of "we give a damn".
as usual while one breaks the talking point others expand on it, then vice versa.
so those who are watching in order to vote for them have to be scramble in the head because the only consistent line from republicans concist of those things that will hender growth and advancement of "we the people" and our economy, in the name of preventing the Obama agenda from going forward.
Cruz, a Tea Party favorite who seemed to come out of nowhere in 2012 to win his election against a candidate backed by the Republican establishment, decried Republicans who fumble questions about how to help the downtrodden: “I have to tell you, every time I see that I want to put my boot through the television set.”
In his 35-minute address, Cruz pushed familiar Republican policy prescriptions but couched them in the concerns of Mother Teresa. Abolishing the IRS would permit more productivity, as people would waste less time and money filling out tax forms. “Rockefellers,” he said, could live with Obamacare, but it would mean fewer jobs for those on the bottom of the income ladder. Dodd-Frank, which reformed Wall Street banks in the wake of the 2007 crash, was “a bill where you don’t have to read any further than the title to know that nothing good can come out of it,” he said.
don't be fooled abolishing the IRS drops the amount on revenue the gov't needs to protect us from disaster, attacks, roads and infrastructure, i know that infrastructure is a stalled issue remember because of the republican obstruction. defunding the gov't makes it neutered and useless, now isn't that what the right wing wants a smaller gov't also think who will handle those needs listed above, the republicans won't do it now so why should we think they ever will?
