The Big Conversation
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday offered some pointers to conservative activists preparing for their annual confab in Washington.
A day before the kick-off of this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, at which Cruz will deliver the closing speech, Texas' junior U.S. senator headlined the annual Weyrich Awards Dinner last night in Washington.

No...it's your backwards *** that makes you wacko...not sure what Texas you're from Cruz, but it isn't mine!

Cruz does not stand for the Constitution. He might stand for the articles of confederate which George Washington condemned to the dustbin of history. Cruz and his ilk hate true American values

It's become part-n-parcel to those on the far right to work in to their speeches as many of the following words as possible: THE CONSTITUTION, THE FOUNDING FATHERS, TYRANNY and LIBERTY.

Cruz is clearly more familiar with than liberals are!

Mathew continues to shill for conservatives. Will not work on those who think logically.

Aww Bambi, whats wrong? Your shilling for Liberals proving to be inefective. After all you are one of the Queens of shilling. I guess the comment about liberals and the constitution has proven dead on!

I strongly suggest every one watch the clip of Cruz trying to lecture Feinstein only to have her rip his comments apart for his arrogance and deliberately misleading the American public. Another failed Texas politician spewing lies and deliberate misrepresentations was embarrassingly called out for his rhetoric.

I just wish McCain and Cruz would go the way of other extinct birds. ;)

Sorry Belinda, that will not be happening to Cruz. Have a good day!
