"One of the things we accomplished in the fight over Obamacare is we elevated the national debate over what a disaster, what a train wreck, how much Obamacare is hurting millions of Americans across this country," Cruz told about 600 Iowa Republicans on Friday at the Iowa GOP's annual fundraising dinner in Des Moines.
Cruz's crusader's spirit was the perfect example of what longtime Republicans in Iowa and nationally say is at the root of the party's losing ways and has sparked an intraparty fight over the way forward after consecutive losing presidential elections.
that doesn't sound like all is well in mudville, i fail to grasp how he can demonize those in need of gov't help and then claim "the ones that are getting hurt by ObamaCares are the most vulnerable among us" they are taking food stamps trying to kill all social programs aimed at those most vulnerable and haven't done a thing to promote jobs except say they are, why don't these people see the hypocrisy in every word they cheer to or are they just like him....... you fill in that blank.
The final and perhaps most important stop of Ted Cruz's recent public tour was less an exclamation point on a series of raucous events in Texas and more a presentation of opposite ideas for the GOP's way forward nationally.Immediately before the Cruz spoke, five-term Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad barely acknowledged the guest and said the way forward for the party nationally was by way of the route cleared by Republican governors.Branstad, 66, at the heart of Iowa's GOP establishment, called Cruz "a bright, up-and-coming senator" before turning his attention to the tangible successes of Republican governors, beginning with Cruz's own governor, Rick Perry of Texas.
not as much love as they would have yo think, they are trying to keep the proverbial stiff upper lip but the bottom lip is pouting like an overload of botox. they may well be the push for Progressive wins in 2014 with talk like 800,000 furlough without pay, and 16 days of nothing at a cost of over 240 billion and he says "it's worth it" ask one of those people that are always walking up to you and telling you how they are suffering and ask is it better now then you were 4 days ago?
