Letter from Ted Cruz to Rahm Emanuel, et. al.

[bagman45]

Maybe he could sit in on all of the Feinstein hearings...... Well done Ted!

Ted Cruz makes me wish there were an election in 2013 and he was up for reelection just so I could have the privilege of voting for him again

[jmra]

no one in this thread wants to impose term limits on Ted?

[77346]

yes... and then he should run for TX Gov and then for POTUS

[TexasGal]

Thanks, for not being a shrinking newbie, but a roaring lion for our State! Go get'em Ted!
I'm proud our house voted for you!

No pressure though, right?

I supported him, gladly. Hopefully,the sincerity and enthusiam he displays as a new Freshman will spread.

In a political world of give and take, idealism seems to be the first casualty.

He is off to a great start. With lots of support, his influence will be felt for many years. If not, this will be a real life re-run of 'Mr. Smith...Washington'.

saltydog452,

Yes.

Sadly, many start out in politics with great intentions and then slowly have their resolve dissolve...

I hope he has the necessary strength to keep the good fight going...

Senator Cruz has been on the job not even a month as of now, and has already gotten in some pretty good licks.

I'm not sure he is eligible to be President, since he was born in Canada, albeit to a US citizen mother. The claim has been that Obama was born in Hawaii, in the US. McCain was born in a US base, to US citizens.

No matter. The skill set of a good President is rather different than for a good US Senator. Some people are so good at what they do, you need to keep them where they can do the most good. Think Babe Ruth here, so good with the bat that it would have been foolish to let him be the best pitcher of his generation. A Senator is an important person, especially one who has the respect of his fellow Senators. The President has only the bully pulpit, and of course, the power to name judges.

Two Teds are better than one.

Ted Cruz and Ted Poe

[LeonCarr]

Have any of them responded to Senator Cruz?

Just my .02,
