Did Ted Cruz really say this?

Hey sack of shit...while you're looking for a link...find one that shows the ragheads have been defeated.

Not a fan of Ted Cruz in the least but I do not think this is true.

They guy is mostly a liar:

So let's try to stick with what he actually says.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Dan Patrick squarely has Cruz in his sights.

 

[Katzndogz]

Basically, he's right. There are some who feel that way. Are we this allergic to the truth? What did Bill Clinton say about obama bringing him coffee and shining his shoes?

those are some petty accusations....Ted Cruz is NOT 'mostly a liar'...

take for example the supposed 'lie' where Cruz says "President Obama just granted all of Congress an exception" to Obamacare.

technically yes they will have to buy from the Obamacare marketplaces so there is no 'exception' there....technically.....but Cruz was looking at the bigger picture...

don't you remember the howling from the congresscritters who threatened to leave their jobs over having to buy Obamacare.....? Congress was fearing a 'brain drain' from so many employees leaving because they would lose their taxpayer-funded federal health-insurance subsidies of $5,000 to $11,000....but Obama solved the problem...

"Democratic and Republican staffers alike were furious, warning that Congress faced a “brain drain” if the provision stuck. Under behind-the-scenes pressure from members of Congress in both parties, President Obama used the quiet of the August recess to personally order the Office of Personnel Management, which supervises federal employment issues, to interpret the law so as to retain the generous congressional benefits."

any company can grant such benefits for healthcare but unlike the Federal Government not that many can afford the higher Obamacare costs.....so the costs must go to the employees....the 'little people' are going to have to shoulder the costly burden of Obamacare....while the high-income congresscritters get theirs on the cheap...

this 'exception' or fix by Obama for the Hill employees is what Ted Cruz was referring to....

This shows one of the problems we have that is killing our country. The low informed liberal/progressive voter will believe anything other progressives tell them true or not. They never bother to check something out themselves they just believe the lies and vote the way they are told. Progressive leaders guasentee themselves a life of luxury while denying it, we were so broke when we left the White House and only made 12 million $ that year, while guaranteeing their voters live in poverty while dependant on the government for everything and never have an opportunity to better themselves. Until these idiots wake up we are all screwed. Maybe that's all they want. They don't care if their life sucks as long as they can make sure everyone else's life sucks too.

Unless, of course, they uphold a point you agree with. In that case, they are a great source.

Sad.

Cruz will not be re-elected if he continues in this fashion.

[Bush92]

If a Marxist girl from Kansas never went to liberal shit hole Harvard and met a Kenyan exchange student in a Russian language class at the height of the Cold War...then we wouldn't have an America hating president.

 

[Nosmo King]

Didn't bobby Jindahl say something about the Republicans need to shed the image of the "party of stupid"?

 

[Yurt]

even if the story is true, what is the big deal about what he said? what he said is true.

liberals on this board are idiots. see [MENTION=20412]JakeStarkey[/MENTION] for examples.

According to some reports, Cruz said on Hannity yesterday...

If the slaves were never freed in the Civil War, you have to wonder, where would Obama be today? Certainly not in the White House, not in the capacity he is in. And you have some in America that think that might not be a bad thing.

Did he really say this. I thought there was an unwritten rule in the GOP to never say what you are thinking if the public may see it.


I am still looking for a link.

wow... hard to tell if he's a full on wacko or just playing one on TV. lol. *shakes head*

You didn't realize a lot of people think it would not be a bad thing if Obama wasn't President? In fact a lot of us think it would be a good thing. How did that escape you exactly?

You can search for transcripts of Hannity's interviews here: Transcripts | Hannity | Fox News

Searching on Ted Cruz in June yields no interviews.

The most recent Ted Cruz interview shown on that site is from last December 18.

So, did Cruz really say this about slavery?
