“There are a lot of D.C. consultants who say there’s a choice for Republicans to make: We can either choose to keep our head down, to not rock the boat, to not stand for anything, or we can stand for principle,” he said. “They say if you stand for principle you lose elections. The way to do it — the smart way, the Washington way — is don’t stand against Obamacare, don’t stand against the debt ceiling, don’t stand against nothing. I want to tell you something — that is a false dichotomy.”
How many parents do you think would tell their children not to stand for anything. That the way to be right is to keep your head down and agree. How about this as a mantra for our Military or failing economy? If what Senator Cruz has said here is correct, then I am in complete agreement with him. I would also like to say to those in Washington who believe this dichotomy, How dare you? How dare you collect a salary from the taxes of hard working people and not represent them no matter what that may mean. How dare you call yourself a patriot and not have the balls to stand up for what you believe in. How dare you go along when you know it was wrong to make life easier for yourself.
Very few Americans will go through life without an opinion and fewer still will not voice it at some point. It is this discussion of ideas that make this nation great and we as a people wonder why it has fallen so low lately, why we as a people are suffering for the decisions made by the few in power. Well now we know, there are very few in Washington D.C. who really represent the people and fewer that will stand for a cause, stand for what their constituents believe. Thank you Senator Cruz for opening my eyes to a system that has been infested entirely to long with cowards and thieves.
I beg the American people to stand up, do your homework, remember there is a constitution and vote for those who are protecting your rights as a human being. Vote for those few who are listening. You may find them on the other side of the aisle but those that stand for your beliefs deserve you loyalty not those who would hide and pretend the world is OK, the world is not Ok and our country is losing ground with our own rights and economy. It is time for us to understand there is a solution and it may not be with those that say they speak for us when in reality they speak for themselves. Look at Detroit if you need to see the future of this country under Progressive principles, Detroit was run by progressives for 50 years and now is little more then a battlefield, ruble and poverty. Is that what we want to leave our children?
Thank you Senator Cruz for having the principles to stand up and beg others in your party to see the light.
