Cruz Endorses Cuccinelli, Calls Him His Brother In Shutdown
In an effort to maybe have a chance of getting elected, Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli ran out of a conservative fundraising gala early last night so that he could avoid being photographed with Sen. Ted Cruz.
Cuccinelli and Cruz signed on to headline the Family Foundation gala, literally titled, “Senator Ted Cruz – This American Moment,” before Cruz went off the rails wasting everyone's time with a fake filibuster and helping to shut down the government.
Cruz and Cuccinelli met back stage away from the eyes of the voters and press and Cuccinelli urged Cruz to stand tough and don't give an inch till you break Obama's back. Cuccinnelli is already on record supporting the government shutdown and has a record of being willing to shut down Virginia's government to get what he and the tea party want.
Ken Cuccinelli was the first AG in the nation to sue over Obama Care and went to the Supreme Court to try and overturn it. Ken has his own agenda and has acted on it without regard for the wants and needs of Virginia's voters. Cuccinelli and Cruz affectionately call each other "brothers of the shutdown."
During his 54 minute speech Cruz referred to "his friend" Cuccinelli, calling him "smart, principled, and fearless." Cruz also used his speech to engage the crowd in self-delusion, arguing that Republicans can "win the messaging fight over the shutdown if the people just speak out loudly enough." Cruz said he knew Cuccinelli would stand strong and not bend until the great victory of defeating Obama.
The crowd inside the main ballroom was 99 percent white and old, devoid of the 30-and-younger set, a typical republican gathering.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told a socially conservative advocacy group Saturday that President Barack Obama's Democratic administration is "the most hostile to religious liberty" in American history and uses the health reform law as its most formidable weapon against them. The United States can never enjoy true freedom until the Health Care Bill and Obama are destroyed. Thankfully you and your next Governor, Ken Cuccinelli stand shoulder to shoulder with me in this quest, Cruz said.
Cruz, the Senate leader of an effort by congressional Republicans to condition funding for federal government to stripping the health law of funding, sought to shift blame for the resulting government shutdown to Democrats as polls show Americans hold the GOP more to blame for it than Democrats. Virginia has a lot of federal workers, military projects and contractors and they are all going without a paycheck while Ted Cruz and Ken Cuccinelli shut the government down and seek to make it permanently smaller.
"I am sorry to say that this administration is the most hostile to religious liberties that this country has ever seen," Cruz said as
several hundred right wing Christian conservatives roared their approval. "We see the federal government mandate that people across this country violate their religious faith and provide for those whose faith prohibits it contraceptives or abortion drugs." So we
must shut the government down until these people agree to do things our way. The right wing crowd, though mostly old and white, seemed to be energized by Cruz's words and literally danced and shouted with glee.
Cruz and fellow Republican Ken Cuccinelli, who is running for Virginia governor, headlined a Saturday night fundraiser for several
hundred people who support the nonprofit Family Foundation, the state's best-known lobby for socially conservative legislation. In
the old days a woman's education ended when she was 13 years of age. The puritan fathers feared that a woman's brain was fragil and might malfunction if allowed to be educated beyond 13. Anyway at 13 it was time to become a gentlemen's wife and start to bear him children. During this period women were not allowed to own land or property. If her husband died the home and possesions became
the property of the state and she needed to find another husband to survive. Ken Cuccinnelli, Ted Cruz, Bob McDonnell and all the
members of the Family Foundation seek to return to these wonderful days of old. Ultra conservative is another word for regressive and many informed sources consider this extreme form of conservatism to be a mental disease.
Most of the senator's 54-minute address was aimed at the Senate's Democratic leadership, whom he accused of obstructing at least four bills that would have restored funding to select areas of government that have been suspended, including veterans services and the National Institutes of Health. Cruz promised not to relent until the Democratic Senate and President Obama were no more, telling the cheering crowd that what ever pain came with the goal it would be worth it.
At this point, polls show more Americans blame Republicans for the shutdown than Obama and other Democrats. Cruz assured the crowd that the polls were wrong and that more accurate polling would show most Americans supported his ideology. The crowd seemed to accept Cruz's conclusion without question and applauded loudly.
"Four times the U.S. House of Representatives has acted to fully fund the government, and yet prevent the very real harm that
Obamacare is causing to millions of Americans," Cruz said. "Obama Care is more dangerous than a child not having food or federal employees being sent home and losing their paychecks. Obama Care is worse than veterans not being allowed to visit a cematery, kids staying home because the funds for head start have dried up. Obama Care will destroy the fabric of this nation and I won't stand for it. I will oppose Obama Care as long as blood flows in my veins. This is a fight we must win, Cruz said." The crowd was now whipped to a frenzy like sharks feeding on fresh kill.
Last month, Cruz staged a 21-hour, 19-minute filibuster on the Senate floor in support of de-funding the health overhaul, reading a Dr. Suess children's fable during part of his overnight marathon. A highlight CD or VHS tape of Ted Cruz on the Senate floor is
available at TedCruz.Com for a $50 contribution. Personally autographed and Blue Ray are slightly more. For a $250 donation Ted will write you a short note calling you by your first name just like you were close friends and if you respond now while the government is still shut down he will photo shop you into a photo with him and sign it especially for you. It is just the thing for a conservative to show to his conservative friends.
He also paid tribute to Cuccinelli, saying "he is smart, he is principled and he is fearless, and he will never back down."
Cuccinelli has supported shutting the government down over the state budget and sworn he would never back up, he would shut Virginia down.
But Cuccinelli, spoke for just seven minutes. Already his previous words have come back to haunt him and as soon as Cuccinelli
denies making a statement or supporting an issue up pops a video tape clearly showing that Cuccinelli is being dishonest. It is hard
to deny saying something when you are on video tape saying it.
Cuccinelli also railed against the health overhaul law and blasted the Democratic White House and his Democratic opponent, Terry McAuliffe, for supporting environmental regulations that he says amount to a war on coal. The issues are two major fault lines between the adversaries in America's only competitive gubernatorial race.
"The war on coal in Virginia is a war on our poor," Cuccinelli said, referring to new Environmental Protection Agency regulations that
would impose strict carbon-emission limits on new coal- or gas-fired electrical power plants. Note that the Environmental Protection Agency is shuttered during the goverment shutdown.
McAuliffe last week spoke out for the first time in support for the new regulations that Cuccinelli and the GOP contend will curtail coal mining in mountainous southwestern Virginia. Cuccinelli said "he would like to keep on burning coal till black flecks fall from the sky like snow in winter." He also said "he would like to remove any and all regulations that obstruct businesses ability to milk the last drops of profit from Virginia's coal mining operations."
"Many of you have heard me say that states have a role to play defending that constitution. When the federal government oversteps its boundaries, we are the last line of defense," said Cuccinelli, who received two standing ovations.
Cuccinelli was the first state attorney general in the nation to sue the federal government alleging the health care overhaul violated
the U.S. Constitution. Cuccinelli lost that one but Charles and David Koch told him to keep on fighting anyway. What does it
really mean when the Supreme Court says something is good to go? What does it mean when an election is fought over an issue and the voters overwhelmingly support President Obama? Cuccinelli then told the Family Foundation that he would never back up, never back down, thanked the audience and left the stage to a standing ovation as he exited the building via a side entrance.
McAuliffe supports the health care overhaul and has pledged to expand Medicare eligibility to about 400,000 Virginia working poor if elected, saying the state would forfeit $21 billion in federal support over seven years without it. Cuccinelli said he wasn't
worried about Virginia losing money or the poor as he had his hands full supporting the coal companies.
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to Ted, 'What would you like to talk about?'
'Oh, I don't know,' said Cruz. 'How about nuclear power?' and he smiles.
OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass.
Why do you suppose that is?'
Ted, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence ... thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'
The little girl says, Ted 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know SHIT?
