2019.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Somehow absent of RINO Lindsey Graham


RINO Lindsey Graham “Jokes” about Killing Ted Cruz


One of the leading RINOs in the Republican Party, South Carolina’s senior Senator [score]Lindsey Graham[/score] (R-SC), recently made a terrible joke about a colleague of his.

Senator Grahamnesty, um, I mean Graham, was speaking at the Washington Press Club Foundation Dinner when he decided to entertain the DC media elite with his own special, moronic brand of “comedy.”


First, he called the GOP “batshit crazy.” Then he mockingly joked that a “good Republican” should defend [score]Ted Cruz[/score], but then added that he wouldn’t be doing it. Instead, Graham unleashed what may have been the most inappropriate joke about Cruz that he could saying, “If you kill Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate and the trial was in the Senate, nobody could convict you.” While the DC media seemed to love the humor, it sure fell flat out here in flyover country.

I tried to find the Congressional record of the vote that this Tea Party blog is referring to -- I couldn't find a bill number, nor even a resolution number to look up the context of the bill to see if indeed Cruz voted as they stated and to see why.  The website that I normally used to look up the info, isn't as user friendly anymore.

If the "Tea Party" blog wanted some credibility, it would seem that they would have all their ducks in a row and reference legislation and votes of those that they are naming. 

I know of several people who have belonged to different Tea Party groups who discovered that there are a lot of DEM plants within the various groups to bring down the true Tea Party and its members.

Its best to be truthful.  The ratings have gone down on Conservative Review for his votes that matched Trumps priorities.  Spending.

https://www.conservativereview.com/scorecard/ted-cruz/

The ‘gag and vote for it’ small-business-killing coronavirus emergency legislation

Pass a $19 billion spending bill without funding for the border crisis

Release dangerous criminals from federal prisons

Pass a $900 billion farm bill with socialist policies

ass a promise-breaking cromnibus before the election

Massive Spending, Debt Ceiling Raise, and Democrat Priorities Funded

……………..

Conservative Review is Conservative.  Ted has jumped on the Trump train and supported all of Trumps spending sprees.  If he is the RINO, then Trump is the master of RINO.

Yes it is best to be truthful.  There have been several times where Cruz has cast a vote that I wasn't exactly happy with; that is until I was able to read the actual text of the bill and then realized why he voted the way that he did.

No where in the article has the actual piece(s) of legislation been referenced and as I stated I tried looking it up, but without the bill number or even the resolution number, I couldn't find it.

As for Cruz jumping on the Trump train -- he has stood behind him many times but he has also opposed him.  I tend to veer away from blog sites --- especially ones that don't show any references to what their 'blogging' about.

Voting against unnecessary tariffs is very much a Conservative thing to do from a fiscal standpoint. 

Not sure why this blog would want to paint Cruz as a RINO.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Top Texas Republicans push back on Trump's Mexico tariffs, but how far will they go?

Dallas Morning News By Tom Benning 6/5/2019

https://www.dallasnews.com/business/2019/06/05/top-texas-republicans-push-back-on-trump-s-mexico-tariffs-but-how-far-will-they-go/

Quote
Top Texas Republicans in Congress continue to caution President Donald Trump against imposing tariffs on all Mexican imports to the U.S., citing the substantial economic harm that would result from a standoff with Texas' top trading partner.

But it remains unclear if those lawmakers will block Trump if he follows through on his threat, which he issued to prod Mexico to do more to prevent migrants from illegally entering the U.S.

Neither Sen. Ted Cruz nor Sen. John Cornyn on Wednesday would commit to supporting a measure to overturn Trump's Mexico tariffs — which are slated to start Monday at a 5% level and then ratchet up over time — as both men projected optimism that such action won't be necessary.

"This is like a giant game of chicken," Cruz said, predicting that one country is "going to blink."

"If the outcome is that Mexico blinks, they say, 'OK, we're going to work proactively to stop illegal immigration' — that would be a terrific outcome," he said. "If, on the other hand, ... the tariffs get imposed and we see massive tariffs on both sides, that would be a terrible outcome."

As a person I dislike Cruz, I think he is a liar and a phony, but his votes in the Senate IMHO have been good. I don't like him but he votes the right way so until someone better comes along I'll support him.

He is a liar and professional politician.  Once someone 'shows' you who they are believe it. He voted for the TTP, OR TPP. And is a member of  North American UNION.  OK. my memory is fuzzy this morning. Looking for my saved file. Not the one I wanted below.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I see some articles & videos have been removed.  Here is what I remember about the TTP.  Ted Cruz signed it. Later he said, he was lied to and didn't know what he was signing.  Isn't he supposed to READ...what he is signing?  He is an attorney. He claims NOT TO KNOW, WHAT HE SIGNED. THAT IS WHAT HE IS THERE FOR...as senator, for WE THE PEOPLE. HE DIDN'T READ IT?  It was a program for NWO & would destroy America, more. Same with his support of North American UNION.  His wife, Heidi, was C.E.O. of that.  Cruz is just bidding his time.  Nothing to do about helping AMERICANS. SNAKE IN THE GRASS.

Actually Raf, your dominionist ideology was exactly what Jefferson, Paine, Washington, and others feared most and specifically worded the constitution to avoid. And any attempt to change that one fundamental ideal of the separation of church and state, thereby avoiding the establishment of any one religion constitutes an act of treason against your adopted country.

Ted Cruz on Free Trade

https://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Ted_Cruz_Free_Trade.htm

Q: You were a supporter of the Pacific trade deal, but you changed your position.

CRUZ: Actually that's incorrect. There are two different agreements. There's TPA and TPP. I opposed TPP and have always opposed TPP, which is what you asked about. Free trade, when we open up foreign markets, helps Americans. But we're getting killed in international trade right now.We're driving jobs overseas.

Yep ... we've been down this road before, so, I'm not going to go back and forth on the issue.  TPP is one issue.  All in all,I still like Cruz and I'd have no hesitation in voting for him.  I think he would make an excellent President, AG or SCOTUS justice.

I don't understand your question.

 Ted Cruz is born of CUBAN REFUGEE dad and jewish American mother in CANADA.  He had dual citizenship, which he renounced, to be able to run for president of USA.  I once supported Ted Cruz.  NOT ANY MORE, once I saw how he lied and how underhanded he is, was, still is.  TEA PARTY IS CORRECT.  Why would TEA PARTY MEMBERS LIE? 

Ted supports anything, that would make him look good to the public, like supporting TRUMP.  Riding his coat tails. POTUS USES DIPLOMACY IN DEALING WITH HIM.  I would not turn my back on Cruz.
Everyone will vote for whomever they want.  I just gave my issues & points about "lying Ted". I SAW those lies with my own, eyes & ears.  I DO NOT TRUST HIM ONE TINY BIT.  Do I need to detail those lies?

Cruz on TPP

https://therightscoop.com/ted-cruz-jeff-sessions-is-wrong-about-obamatrade-deal-full-audio/#ixzz3ztp5JXC4

Thank you! 

Ted Cruz was on with Jeff Kuhner this morning and answered some tough questions about why he supports the TPA/TPP agreements. One of the questions was specifically about what Jeff Sessions has been saying about the trade deal and Cruz blatantly said that what Sessions has been saying is not accurate. In short, he said that the US is not ceding any sovereignty to any transnational commission, that it has no power to bind the US with any law or agreement
The interview is 24 minutes long and I urge you to listen to the whole thing. But if you want to skip ahead to the Q&A about Jeff Sessions take on this, it begins around 16:10.

Listen:
