Keep it up, Ted. Shake up that fossilized, "civil" organization of layabouts. You´re doing what you ought to be doing!

I believe the term is ´uppity´.

Whoopie! At last a shot of energy coming from the Republicans. Undoubtedly we will be hearing more from the heroic Mr. Cruz as well as from the threatened.

Ted Cruz is the BEST thing to every happen in Congress.

Let him know:

Comity ought to be stuck where the sun don´t shine. The freaking ship of fools is SINKING you numb nuts!

I don´t think I´ve ever been so proud to have voted for someone. Give ´em hell, Ted!!

Go for i Ted Cruz, we are with you and are applauding you.

Oh the horror! A politician that actually does what he campaigned about doing. The entrenched political class must be shaking in their PAC bought shoes.

I guarantee Cruz is loving the attention and I also guarantee he will not play victim and whine.

If you are getting flak, you are over the target!

I just read the NYT article on Cruz and loved it. One of my New Years resolutions: Put my $ where a good politician´s mouth is. So, I just rewarded Ted. (and asked for bumper sticker and yard sign too!)

We need 99 more senators like Cruz!!! Comity is bull shirt!!!


Ted in Michigan

I am hoping more will stand up for what is right by gaining some backbone from Cruz. Contrary to all the negative articles written about him this past week, he is asking the questions which are needed to be asked and not just grandstanding for the cameras like McCain and Graham. To h.e.l.l. with the status quo! Keep up the good work, Senator Ted Cruz! We, the people, are fortunate to have one of your character and morals representing Texas and the rest of the nation. God Speed!

And now abideth Tom, Penelope and Ted, but the greatest of these is Ted.

#10, you, being a staunch Dewhurst supporter, thanks for an outstanding endorsement for our Senator! I appreciate it!

I agree with #13, and I hope Senator Cruz is opening the door to a more diversified Senate, instead of the good-old-boys club it has been.

OP hit the nail on the head. How can McPain criticize Cruz on his questioning methods of Hagel when he himself, along with his best friend, Ms Lindsey, kind of made hamburger out of Hagel? Cruz was gentle compared to those two.

Washington is now like Alice in America´s Wonderland where "up is down and down is up," "black is white", "small is big and big is small", etc.

The MSM better not get too full of itself blasting Cruz, he is far more skilled than they are at arguing: Cruz is the former Texas solicitor general and has argued before the Supreme Court nine times, more than any practicing lawyer in Texas or any current member of Congress.

BTW and unrelated, we just learned that Justice Scalia has taught Justice Kagan to hunt, and apparently she enjoys hunting and wants to bag an antelope.

The old Senators HATE it when they are reminded that they are not infallible.
Somebody needs to stick a pin in them to release the gas. Go Senator Cruz.

I have seen Cruz´s performances on tv and he is not brash. The establishment senators don´t like Cruz because he is WAY WAY smarter than them, and he tells the obvious truths.

I am very proud of my new senator. He is doing exactly what he promised to do and what he was elected to do.

The more the democrat media and rinos complain the stronger his support in Texas becomes.

The mindless yapping of The Bolshevik´s lap-poochies in the Ministry of Truth is a healthy sign.

#5 thanks for the link. I just left is a brief, VERY encouraging note imploring him to keep up the good work and do NOT back down. No doubt this sorts of feedback is very helpful for his energy and enthusiasm.

Evidence piled as high as Mount Everest that the mainstream media in this country is our greatest enemy continues to grow. I don´t know how to put a stop to them but we better find a way soon.

They have given us a communist president. What could possibly be next? A communist dictator, perhaps?

@#17: How can Scalia tell the difference between Kagan and an antelope?

Just askin`

So many Senators have given up their zeal for representing the people and defending the Constitution. Because they didn´t have the strength of character to stand up to the biased media and the majority, they have adapted the go-along-to-get-along strategy. I just can´t wait until the Senate actually begins working on budgets and regulatory matters. Cruz is way out of the class of the hacks who are drafting laws and regulations.

Ted meant what he said and said what he meant, a man of conviction 100 percent.

When the NY Times, McCain, WP & Politico attack you... you know you´ve made it. Go Cruz...show the senate there is real men in DC...

the Senate is full of arrogant fools who are full of themselves. say that three times fast.


also, i believe eddy rendell (fast eddy) was getting money from groups associated with iran.

I didn´t vote for Ted because I thought McCain would approve of him. I´m delighted with the ruckus he´s already stirred up.

Stand firm.

Sounds like the RINOs are joining the Obamunists in trying to install Cruz control in the Senate.

McCain likes to shoot his mouth off occasionally against Democrats, knowing he will cave to them later. He is aghast that Cruz still hasn´t learned to do the same.

Isn´t this getting old? Come on.
What does it take to think of a clever game plan to use against the media. Where are all the generals? The stinking media is out to destroy any Republican who gets national attention. Maybe it´s time to play rough and mess with their heads and not be afraid to do so.

Okay here´s an idea. What if they create a swarm defense machine with at least six Ted Cruz like politicians attacking the media from various directions all at the same time. It may take a awhile but after throwing a few counter punches that hurt, a time or two, you´ll see them shrink and run away. Shake them up, confuse them. They are the enemy within. The GOP needs to learn how to be better prepared going forward. Turning the other cheek is not going to win votes or respect.

Right now Cruz is their the target du jour. However, I have no doubt he will let the media bully him without a good fight. Go Ted.

Memo to Senator Cruz:If McCain disagrees with you, you must be doing somethng right....

When a new senator actually does his job it makes the old ones look bad!

Just got off the Cruz website where I posted a comment of support. Why don´t you drop by and do the same?

what a refreshing change the new Senator is from the former RINO lapdog, Kay Bailey Hutcheson.

How about the other "newbies" in Congress taking a page out of Ted Cruz´ book!!

I´ve met Ted´s dad and it is apparent where Ted´s "fire" comes from. His dad is a wonderful force for good. Coming from Cuba, he is a real advocate for freedom.

I just hope that Ted, his dad, and other Hispanic men in Texas can gain a platform and influence other residents of Texas who may soon gain the right to vote. I´m trying to influence every young Hispanic person I know. The ones I know are hard working and have never taken welfare. They are natural Republicans, but may need help understanding that.

I hope we can rid Texas of Cornyn for someone like Cruz who will defend us against liberals and RINOs like Cornyn.

I too hope every grateful conservative will continue to keep Senator Cruz´ email box and mail bag FULL of supportive letters. #7 YES! Lots of green-eyed monster on our side of the aisle too. Cruz makes the RINOs look weak and ineffective. God bless our brightest star by far - Senator Cruz.

McCain is a loser!

Ted must be doing something right to have attracted the attention of the left wing media machine. Go Ted! Kick some Washington DC butt!

#39, unless you have a vote in Texas, I respectfully suggest you leave my good Senator Cornyn alone. He has one of the most conservative records in the Senate and the country is fortunate to have him there.

I find it interesting that, if the Republican establishment had its way, Cruz would never had won the primary.

In the NYT hit piece, it mentions Cruz was born in Canada. I don´t believe much in the NYT, so can anyone else verify?

Anyway, we need to clone Cruz. Maybe he´ll set an example and other senators will follow. That is exactly why the media are dogpiling - because they´re afraid this might be contagious.

I hope he doesn´t go soft and sell us out as so many have.

I do live in Texas and I´m working hard to get rid of the RINO who supported Charlie Crist from FL and Murkowski from AK along with other progressive RINOs.

Cornyn is not a conservative and never has been. He voted to confirm Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, Sotamayor and Kagen.

I could give you lots more examples of how the turncoat is helping liberals destroy our nation.

Or Senator Cruz motivates Senator Cornyn to get back to his Texas roots. Cornyn used to be a decent Senator.

Baloney. Cornyn is an excellent conservative senator and obviously, Texas agrees. Being head of the RSCC is a hugely difficult job and someone is always left unhappy. Right now as the #2 Republican in the Senate, even lefty site Politico calls him a "conservative hard-liner" and he´s fighting Hagel. I don´t know whom you prefer, but we should be careful in our pursuit of the perfect, because everyone´s perfect isn´t the same.

Cornyn is a real conservative alright, he supported Arlen Specter and along with the rest of the RINO establishment has declared war on the TEA Party.

Ted, they will try and bribe you with comity and cooperation, help with elections, invitations to Washington parities but don´t fall for what most do! You will never be one of them! We don´t need any more of them! We need you sir! Our civil society is in peril! Thank you for being there!

Hubby @ I just knew we had cast the right vote for Ted Cruz.

"Comity in the Senate"? With Harry Reid and those other dingbats that have held their seats for 20-40 years or so? Y´all gotta be kiddin´ me!

Pile on, media! You just expose his strengths!

btnboerne

In my best "Get shorty" voice, look at me. Cornyn could learn a lot from Cruz. My opinion - my handle!
