According to the article I am left with the impression Cruz is the rabble rouser. But the article is in the NY Times and the Times is a very pro Democratic newspaper. If Cruz is making inneuendos without nothing to back them up, it does smack of McCarthyism. Then he needs to be put in his place rather quickly. I won't vote on this until I see and hear more.
The NYT bias is all over the article. I had been hearing all sorts about this bloke -- thought I'd go to the public for some additional feedback...
(I fixed the link having forgot about the extra http)
Yep. That is somehow entriely different than Reid asserting, via an un-named source, that Romney paid no FIT for ten years. The NYT is not exactly a neutral source for republicant concerns. He may not play well with others or give "proper respect" to the politically connected, but that is EXACTLY what he campainged on. I voted for him, applaud his direct manner and respect his representation - so far.
Well, I don't expect anything less from Reid. Personally, if this is what Cruz ran on, being a burr in the saddle, and he's doing it, I say more power to the guy.
Actually it is what Obama ran on initially, but then he kicked back and let congress critters create huge nanny state additions like PPACA. Now that congress is no longer a totally demorat rubber stamp machine, Obama is lost. Cruz may turn out to be a good influence, representing Texas rather than simply allowing ever more federal power and control. He will likely settle down some but playing games like McCain, Dole and other great RINOs is not what he was elected to do.
Cruz is a snake in the grass. He has already shown that he will choose money over his principals. He wouldn't have even gotten the nomination except for some silly primary rules and a lower turnout runoff.
Care to support your character assassination with specifics?
Cruz's only qualification for senator was being a lawyer. His record as a lawyer included defending a Chinese trademark thief versus a US citizen. His original response was that he was a private citizen and can represent who he wants. When people didn't but that he later backtracked that and then claimed he wasn't the "lead" lawyer on it even though it was his signature on all the papers.
Sure as a private lawyer he can represent who he wants but it shows me that money is more important to him than values. That is not a quality I want in my senator. I do not trust him to protect Texas' interest if it will hurt him financially or politically.
Lawyers often represent "bad folks" in criminal and civil cases, but that is expected, in fact, often demanded in our legal system. Should lawyers not offer legal advice and services to these "bad folks"?
No they should not offer counsel to "folks" from other countries who were actively trying to destroy our economy. Especially if they want to be a US senator.

So illegal aliens should not get any legal representation now. You seem to like the fact that Obama uses a dreamy version of our immigration law yet wish foreign "bad folks" to get no legal representation. Deportation hearings should now take mere seconds with no legal aid allowed for foreign "criminals".
