Ted Cruz warns Republicans: Lack of accomplishments could cause a 'bloodbath'
by Katie Leach | Oct 13, 2017, 5:55 PM

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, warned that Republicans could face a "bloodbath" in the upcoming midterm elections if they don't follow through on promises with tax reform and healthcare.

"If tax reform crashes and burns, if Obamacare, nothing happens, we could face a bloodbath," Cruz said Friday to a crowd at a Koch brothers-aligned donor summit in New York.

The senator said a lack of legislative accomplishments by the GOP-controlled Congress on these key issues could create a "Watergate-level blowout" in the 2018 midterm elections.

Right again senator Cruz!

Yep, Ted is correct... I hope it is a bloodbath upon GOPE/democrats both... a pox upon both their houses.

The GOP initiated class warfare with their tax cuts for the rich.
The irony is, the GOP loses whether their tax bill passes or not.

Is Ted Cruz blind or stupid or both ??

The GOP's tax cut that overwhelmingly favors rich oligarchs and will hurt many lower and middle income voters will cause the GOP to lose.

Let their rich lobbyist puppeteers vote for Cruz and Sessions... this Texan is done voting GOP !!

@KingsX  I understand you are new here, and I understand that taxes are really your "thing", however, it would be nice to see you participate on the forum in a few threads where maybe you don't talk about tax cuts for the rich.  Or maybe even taxes at all.  Just a suggestion.  Relax and have some fun.

I have no idea who you are saying is a mole.

But I do know that I have contacted my two senators and congressman
and between the three I have received back one stupid generic form letter
[the other two totally ignored me.]   ALL of them should be sent packing.
Maybe they can get new jobs from their sugar daddy lobbyists who have
turned them all into political prostitutes.

Funny, I for the life of me can't imagine why they would totally ignore you!    :silly:
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I have posted other types of posts on other forums here... maybe you don't frequent those forums.

Did you see my posts on the energy, space and archaelogy forums ??

But you are right, tax reform is the main subject I am focused on at present. And rightly so, because it affects every American and will negatively affect many Americans who can least afford it.

You do understand, that the top 1% of income tax payers pay over 90% of all income taxes.

Only someone who is a total socialist/regressive would not acknowledged that, and say it is fair...ALL pay the same % tax. Better yet , abolish income taxation, as it is the vehicle of regressive/democrat/socialist evil.

UN-American. As it does not apply the law equally.

Do you admit the GOP tax cut will mainly benefit the rich? 

If you do then you are more truthful than Trump and GOP leaders
who continue their evil bait and switch lies.

Okay, let me try this a different way.  People don't like to be lectured about the same topic with essentially the same words over and over and over again.  You have really done a bang up job getting your point across on taxes.  You seem like a very knowledgeable person.  You should share that *other* knowledge on *other* topics on threads *other* than ones that have to do with taxes.  Maybe just for a few days.  Not space and energy and archeology threads; no one reads those.  Try politics, National News, The Lounge.  Remember ixnay on the axestay.

Oh I see... you don't like what I post so it annoys you.
You'd prefer I post about other topics, on other forums
and/or take a LONG vacation from posting... fancy that.

Listen, I've reached the absolute limit of how nice I can be.  I was very sincere in trying to help you out with interacting with other members so they don't keep calling you a troll and a mole.  Note, I haven't said one damn word about your opinion on taxes.  You know why?  I don't give a flying crap.  You want to keep spouting the same stuff over and over again and have people respond to you by calling you a troll, have the bleep at it. 

So, no, you don't see.  It actually annoys me more that people are calling you a troll and a mole than your dumbass OCD about taxes.  Please, carry on winning friends and influencing people.

That was supposed to be kept secret.  Now I'm going to have thousands of people showing up for cheap cigarettes and booze.

There's some Corpus Christi dude running against Cruz.  I suggest you head on over and vote for him.

Yeah, but with a little advertising you can offset the losses with volume of smoke and booze sales.
