I am glad to see Ted enter the Presidential race. What a patriot!
I just hope we can all get behind Ted and take back this country, before it's too late.
If Trump announces soon, we might have a chance at 2016!

Ted Cruz fact checks his speech to make sure there are no facts in there. So far he has been successful.

It is harmful to the qualified candidates when someone with no chance of winning like Cruz muddies the water. Also, if gives the impression to most voters that no one in the Republican Party is guiding the best person into the limelight. Cruz may be a hero to some in the party on the extreme right, but is not well thought of by the sensible republican voter.

There are no sure things in politics and this is especially true with 20 month to go but Ted Cruz is off to an early start with strong tea party support. He is the most outspoken opponent of ACA with a strong stand on immigration. He is certainly the most independent of the GOP candidates which may play well with independents. Yet his position is firmly planted in mainstream of GOP voters on nearly all issues. He is a strong campaigner who has great appeal to Hispanics. Post election have confirmed that his belief that a strong GOP conservative is essential. Cruz despite what others believe can reach across party lines to disillusioned voters, He has a strong legal background and well versed in constitutional law and has a wife with an impressive resume'.
Liberals and RINO's will play him down but this is a guy with determination and moxie.
I welcome him to the mix because the more diverse the filed the better choices for us all.
Clearly his opening remarks touched on what is on voters minds. Do I believe he can accomplish all he imagines...no but he can run circles around Hillary

As per usual one is entitled to their opinion or how they personally see an issue.
However, using the thought process above, who was guiding which of the small army of democratic candidates running during the 2005, 2006, 2007 (seemed like forever) presidential campaign?

This is too amusing. It seems that Senator Ted Cruz will soon be signing up for, wait for it, Obamacare. The family is losing their health care plan when his wife takes a leave of absence, so he is electing to choose Obamacare.
What a hypocrite. He doesn't mind taking health insurance away from 19 million Americans, but when he loses his insurance, he goes right for Obamacare. Let him go out and purchase insurance just like he wants the rest of America to do.

Just for the record which never seems to matter to you....I am not a member of the tea party. I know that diappoints you because it is oh so much easier when one fits one of your bash categories.
Can you not comprehend that just because one is entitled to be not in agreement with your position or opinion. We are also entitled to not be badgered and called names when something does not match up to your personal or your part's ideologies.
Your continual :censored: twisting of the subject to suit your purpose has more than worn itself out.
Do you behave this way in the company of others in your party? I would seriously doubt it.
Do you talk to a person's face the way you do in anonymity? Also extremely doubtful.
Converse. Disagree. Even dislike another's position. Nobody id trying to convert or change your position. So how about you doing the same. This BS is long past being entertaining.

I posted on #11 making reference to the Tea Party support and what came back were only derogatory remarks about the Tea Party.
I find many liberals act in total disregard of people's feelings and often go for the juggler in an effort to totally destroy a person over inconsequential faux pas. What i do not find are many conservatives piling on liberals but rather defending their right to disagree.
As to my #11 post I neglected to stay that because Obama has taken a hard left creating a widow maker perhaps this country needs a candidate to go hard right before we can all meet in the middle again?

Unbelievable. Yesterday he's on stage saying when I'm elected President, I will repeal every word of Obamacare, and all the while he is thinking 'where do I sign'?
He's like the old lady at the tea party rally with her tri-corner hat and her misspelled sign yelling 'keep the governments hands off of my Medicare'.

Millions of people won't have health care if Ted Cruz gets his way, but Cruz won't be one of them. Obamacare allowed Cruz's wife to quit her job, which is so startling since Cruz singlehandedly shut down the government for 13 days last year, just to end Obamacare.

Did you actually read the article that you linked? Halfway through it states this -
"Cruz, as an employee of the government, will use the exchange to choose his employer-provided insurance. Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley pushed through an amendment on the Affordable Care Act that requires members of Congress to obtain their coverage via the exchanges. Congress pays most of the premium. But Cruz won't be getting any extra benefit under the Affordable Care Act that a member of Congress wouldn't have gotten before the ACA became law."
Doesn't sound to me like he has a choice, unless I am reading it wrong??

Seems kind of strange that he wasn't required to choose the ACA yesterday, but all of a sudden today he is required to choose the ACA for his healthcare.
The Ted Cruz that I know would say I'll go without healthcare before I'll join that piece of garbage. Too bad we have to wait almost a year to vote for this guy in the Florida primary.

I'm saying that Elizabeth Warren is extreme left, but what would you expect the senior senator from Massachusetts would be? After all, she now holds Teddy Kennedy's old seat.
Warren will make a great Secretary of the Treasury for President Hillary Clinton, or OMB director. She will have some cabinet position if she wants it, unless she thinks she can do more in the senate.

I hope you are not inferring that anybody is suggesting doing away anybody's health care. The realistic result is 19 million will continue health care. It will just be provided differently.

It is NOT factually correct that he (or any other member of Congress / Staff are "required" to purchase health insurance through the ACA. They can purchase it anywhere or through any source they so choose. However if they do not use the ACA exchange, they forfeit the government's contribution to premium cost.
"The Affordable Care Act does not compel members of Congress to enroll in DC’s health care exchange; it simply cuts off the government contribution to their insurance plans if they buy their policies elsewhere. “The final rule extends a Government contribution towards health benefits plans for Members of Congress and designated congressional staff so long as the health benefits plans are purchased via the appropriate SHOP as determined by the Director,” a summary of the final rule says. “Nothing in the final rule or the law prevents a Member of Congress or designated congressional staff from declining a Government contribution for him or herself by choosing a different option for their health insurance coverage.”
In other words, Cruz “could purchase coverage in the outside market but would get no subsidy from the FEHBP program,” Tim Jost clarified for ThinkProgress, referring to the acronym for the federal health care program. “It seems like the primary other option he would have is to take advantage of COBRA through his wife, though he’d be forgoing the employer contribution. He could also buy non-group coverage,” Larry Levitt, Senior Vice President at the Kaiser Family Foundation, said. Cruz could also potentially purchased insurance through his presidential campaign’s presumptive health care insurance. In those instances, however, he would have had to give up his employer’s contribution and likely pay more for insurance than he is now being charged under Obamacare."

And every loyal democrat should vote for Cruz in the primary. Just hope that he can hold on until he gets to Florida, and dems could put him over the top and on his way to being the nominee.

It does not take too much to take that voter to slightly left of center into Democratic territory.

Millions of people won't have health care if Ted Cruz gets his way, but Cruz won't be one of them. Obamacare allowed Cruz's wife to quit her job, which is so startling since Cruz singlehandedly shut down the government for 13 days last year, just to end Obamacare.
Only a liberal would think obumblercare causing the loss of millions of jobs is a good thing. Do you realize that Senator Cruz has government health insurance that allows his wife to be covered on his plan? Why in the world would they choose an overpriced ACA plan?!

Because that is the choice for members of congress, no more government health insurance plan for them.
It's amazing that with the loss of millions of jobs, the unemployment rate has dropped to 5% from 10%, where it was when President Obama was sworn in back in 2009.

This is the first time I've heard that republicans have a replacement plan for Obamacare. Can you expand on how this health care will be differently provided?
The biggest difference will be "if you like your health insurance, you can keep your health insurance." The next biggest difference will be "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor."

You're dealing with a democrat. They expect someone else to do the work.

You know the old addage:
figures don't lie but liars figure!
Statistics and polls and surveys can be manipulated/twisted to make any case or any outcome needed.

So the Bureau of Labor Statistics is 'manipulating/twisting the numbers? The same agency that has reported the jobs numbers since these numbers were recorded. Isn't there some congressional oversight for such chicanery?

Not with this administration.
So you are saying that this administration controls all the congressional oversight committees? Doesn't the GOP control both the house and senate?

Once again you re-state to make your point. However that was not the point of the post.
At some point it is no longer of any value continuing to try to correct anymore.
That does create two problems for me.
One it allows the re-stated, incorrect inundo/conclusion to go unchallenged and possibly beieved by some uninformed participant.
Secondly it could be viewed as a win by the continual got it wrong again antagonist.

Yes, I know there are some incorrectly spelled words that CAN be misconstrued to be mis-spelled, but then again that is not the point of the post is it?
