Cruz: McConnell Blocked Amendments for Kate’s Law, Defunding Planned Parenthood by Ian Hanchett, 25 Jul 2015 Texas Senator and Republican Presidential candidate said that Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell blocked amendments to defund Planned Parenthood, end the Congressional exemption to Obamacare and for Kate’s Law on Friday’s “Mark Levin Show.” Cruz, after re-iterating his charges that McConnell lied about whether there was a deal regarding Trade Promotion Authority and the Export-Import Bank, stated, “Now, let me tell you all the amendments Mitch McConnell blocked because he wants to reauthorize this corporate welfare and cronyism. He blocked my amendment to defund Planned Parenthood. In the wake of these gruesome videos, where they appear to admit to multiple felonies, we should be defunding them, and we should defund them this week. He blocked my amendment to repeal the Congressional exception from Obamacare. He doesn’t want a vote on that. It’s another of example of cronyism, [Sen.] Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and the Obama administration exempted Congress from the plain language from Obamacare. He blocked amendments to end sanctuary cities, to cut off funding. He blocked my amendment for Kate’s Law, mandatory minimum five years for an illegal alien convicted of illegal re-entry. And he blocked also my amendment saying that no Iranian sanctions can be lifted unless and until Iran recognizes Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, and releases the four American hostages they’re holding.” He added that all of those are issues that matter to the American people, but they “don’t matter to the lobbyists in Washington.” Cruz also pointed to a tweet sent by Reid praising McConnell’s action on the Export-Import Bank before declaring, “It’s one party, it’s the McConnell-Reid leadership team, and they fight for the same priorities.” Cruz added that everything the new Republican Congress has done so far is “exactly what Harry Reid would have done” and wondered how the GOP leadership’s and Democratic leadership’s priorities differed.

Cruz is another good one in my view. The real deal if you will. I support Trump or Cruz.
That is pretty much where I am right now. When I heard about Cruz calling McConnell a liar, I thought he would be great on a ticket with Trump! Si vis pacem, para bellum
That would be a good ticket. But about Ted Cruz not being born in America like Obama? Since Trump made an issue of it against Obama....
Thanks, I watched two of his speeches on the floor.
Si vis pacem, para bellum
Rafael the Canuck is desperate for attention because his approval rating is about the same as Lindsey Graham's. Zero to one percent. Rand Paul has ordered Mitch (the bitch) McConnell to quit killing babies. It will be done, on the fast track! When Rand says jump, Mitch asks how high? Forked-tongued Mitch McTurtle(R) is a reptile of extremely scaly proportions. And yet for his pathological lying and blocking the above common sense amendments, McTurtle still garners immense support from the usual cast of GOPe/uni-party tools, several of whom which publicly excoriated Cruz NOT for McTurtle's lies, but for the "uncivil" TONE. I guess making a big to-do about marching into ovens would be considered "uncivil" and offensive for the sensibilities if the GOPe's pigs. OF NOTE: GOPe President pro tempore, Orrin Hatch(R), Senate Majority Whip, John Cornyn(R), Lamar Alexander(R), Corker(R), Susan Collins(R), and Graham(R) have ALL piled on excoriated both Mike Lee and Ted Cruz (Americans.) These GOPe snakes are WORST than Dems.
Seriously -- have you ANY idea what's going on here?? Cruz is fighting OUR battle. Do you see anyone else doing the same?? NAME HIM/HER/IT. Thanks.
Cruz added that everything the new Republican Congress has done so far is “exactly what Harry Reid would have done” and wondered how the GOP leadership’s and Democratic leadership’s priorities differed. Balls. (But where is the air/sea/artillery support?)
Trump asked to see the birth certificate. Had Obama been born in Kenya, under the law then in effect, he would not have been a natural born U.S. citizen. If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of birth, back then the citizen-parent "must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16." This is not a problem for Cruz. Obama's mother, who was a natural-born citizen, was only 18 when Obama was born, on August 4, 1961. Arithmetic shows she had not lived at least five years anywhere after the age of 16.
I never expected a response like this from you. I thought you said Obama was a natural born citizen because his mother was an American citizen. I like your answer though.
