Sen. Ted Cruz: Dems & Media ‘Afraid’ of Rubio Because He’s an ‘Intelligent, Conservative Hispanic’

Feb. 20, 2013 9:20pm Madeleine Morgenstern

Sen. Ted Cruz speaks about second amendment rights to a group at the LaRue Tactical manufacturing plant in Leander, Texas, Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2013. (AP)

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) charged Tuesday that recent criticisms of Senate colleague Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) are because of his race.

“I think Democrats and the media are afraid of Marco Rubio because he is a smart, intelligent, conservative Hispanic. And they are looking for any excuse they can to attack him, because that threatens them,” Cruz told reporters during a tour of a gun manufacturing plant in Texas, the Dallas Morning News reported.

Cruz pointed to the news coverage of Rubio’s infamous water sip last week during his Republican State of the Union response as an example.

“Look, he took a drink of water in a speech. And it dominated the news for days with one network saying it was a career-ender,” he said, referencing a CNN graphic that asked the question the day after the speech.

Cruz, who has wasted no time in making a name for himself on Capitol Hill since his election in November, said the reaction to Rubio was about more than his being “just a prominent Republican.” Rubio has spoken often of his Hispanic upbringing, including Tuesday night in his State of the Union response.

“It’s not just a promising Republican. I think the Democrats view Marco Rubio as a particular threat because of his background, his life story. I think it they believe it is in their interest to inflict as much damage as possible and blow things wildly out of proportion,” Cruz said.

The Democratic party is still the slavery party. You can get you free phone and other benefits so long as you vote for them. Hell they will even drive them to the polls, give them some cigarettes or a six pack. If they still can’t get them to go to the polls, they will vote for them! That is why they don’t want voter I.D. laws.

Senator Cruz a big plus for the Senate. I think he will teach them what it means to do the job he was sent to do. I doubt he will be intimidated or stray from his principles.

  Actually any attention from Ted Cruz has to be a liability. I’m sure Rubio can’t wait for Sharon Angle, Christine Odonnell and M. Bachmann to offer their support.

Rubio, the RINO, is siding with Rove’s anti-Tea Party stance. He owes Rove for help he provided during Rubio’s election – and the mutual back scratching begins. Marco Rubio is a RINO and stands against the Constitution-supporting conservatives. Do not be fooled.

The Dimocrats have become a socialist collective that practices groupthink. They assume membership of those groups they have “adopted,” including women, hispanics, and blacks (never mind that the KKK and Jim Crow laws were all created by Dimocrats). Sarah Palin was trashed because she rejected the collective, as were Allen West, Herman Cain, and others. Now it’s Rubio’s and Cruz’s turn to be destroyed because they too reject the Dim collective.

  Indeed. He is young, smart, refreshingly quick witted and handsome but I suggest the real fear factor is because he is Latin and a threat to their objective with the Mexican voters. Might we add they also fear Ted Cruz? Of course, the Obama-ites are racist. That’s what they do. For all those who were suggesting tickets last week you might also consider Governor Susanna Martinez from Colorado who spoke at Republican convention. Am sure you can find her speech on C-Span. How about a double whammy ticket of true conservatives?

http://dailycaller.com/2013/02/20/to-one-conservative-group-marco-rubio-is-the-only-perfect-senator/

To one conservative group, Marco Rubio is the only perfect senator.

Americans For Prosperity, a self-described “free market grassroots organization,” announced its scorecard of the 112th Congress on Wednesday.

That group ranks lawmakers by percentage based upon votes they took on certain bills that affect “economic freedom.”

The only senator to get a perfect 100 percent rating? Rubio, the freshman Florida senator thought to be gearing up for a possible 2016 presidential race.

According to the group, this year’s scorecard includes votes on “repeal of President Obama’s new health care law, preempting EPA’s purported authority to regulate greenhouse gases, [House budget] Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget, ending ethanol subsidies, several Congressional Review Act resolutions to overturn new regulations, and the fiscal year 2012 appropriations bills.”

“The AFP Scorecard is an easy way for our activists, the media, and the general public to keep an eye on Washington,” director of policy James Valvo said.

  I know there is a serious love affair going on right now regarding Rubio….and yes I will concede that it seems, he is surprisingly conservative.
  
  Rather than condemn him I am willing to wait a spell. But he is being courted heavily by the GOP elites. Will his principles remain when the Elites tell Rubio that we need a younger, hipper and more progressive GOP?
  
  I’ll adopt a wait and see approach, but I’m not holding my breath.

  @RANGER1965 I’ll agree somewhat. I too want to wait a bit because I find I like Allen West, Sarah Palin and Rand Paul a little better then Marco on some issues. But it seems the competition will be on for 2016 like last year.
  
  Conservatives and Ron Paul people attacked each others resulting in Romney squeaking by after Rick Santorum and Ron Paul dropped out I have no solutions to the situation because paleo-libertarians are stubborn. And social conservatives are stubborn as well. And last time around the people backing Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney were stubborn. In the end Romney was forced on the base against our will. And he lost as I expected.
  
  I backed Michele Bachmann and Herman Cain and then Rick Santorum. Almost voted Virgil Goode, but he didn’t make my states ballot and I felt writing him in was wasting a vote so I went with Romney reluctantly. But I wanted Bachmann or Cain.
  
  We just don’t need a repeat of 2012. But I think if Rand is forced to be a paleo-libertarian type (mix of a paleo-conservative and libertarian), he might alienate the conservative base. Should he run. And I can see all these tea party favorites running again so its game on again.

The GOP will run Rubio and Christie. They will both share the big Karl Rove super pac for at least the first 2 months of the primary.

The left leaning media will choose one of them, and attack the other viciously. The one the left leaning media chooses, will get the whole Super Pac. The other will retire from the primary gracefully, and become the VP cantidate during the convention.

If Biden runs, Obama will give half hearted support but his Imperial Nod went to Hillary. Hillary will re-appear in 2014 with a tell-all book on her adventures as Secretary of State. She will be mildly to moderately critical of Obama. She will appear on the Talk Show circuit with a slim and toned body, and a few nips and tucks. If she does well on these appearances then she will get the nod from the Elites of the Democratic Party, and be the chosen one.

If the GOP runs either Christie or Rubio, and continues their full fledged attack against the Tea Party, Libertarians, Conservative Christians, and Constitutionalists then they will lose most of the support of their base and Hillary will win practically by default.

  @ RANGER1965 I hate Christie. But Rubio is conservative. You are the loon if you think Rubio is not. The problem is Rubio wants to fix our immigration laws and it is a polarizing endeavor. He chose to team up with McCain and it was a mistake, but he had no other choice because Rubio has no support on the issue from others who should at least come up with their proposals like SB 1070.. I get Rubio’s point of view.

  Christie will get the John McCain push from the liberal media. He is the low information voter favorite, including the American Idle (pun intended) GOP crowd. He’s a brash, outspoken publicity hound and he’s captured many who think he will fight for We The People. He is nothing of the kind, and his politics are probably closer to Bill Clinton than even a moderate Republican. For my money, I like Ted Cruz and Scott Walker; principled, solid Conservatives. I’m still not so sure about Rubio.

  @Brettfan I agree 100%. Not sure how anyone could suggest that Rubio is not a conservative. He’s got enough to worry about from the left, much less having to deal with people on the right attacking him as well. He may not be as far to the right as some would prefer, but he’s shown conservative values throughout.

When considering cantidates I measure everyone according to the McCain scale from 1 to 10.

10 being a virtual clone of John McCain

1 being a strong, principled, Conservative.

Rubio measures an 8 on the McCain scale, which means he is very pleasing to the GOP, and will likely be run along with Christie who is a 9.5 on the McCain scale.

This of course means that Rubio is precisely what this country dosn’t need. Basically a watered down version of a liberal.

  That’s a pretty good list.
  
  You know if they secured the Southern border, so that only a trickle got in every year, set it up so hiring illegals really was prosecuted, and created a decent immigration program were one could become an American Citizen in 5 years and without having pay attorneys a zillion dollars to do it.
  
  If the above were true, I could live with a Shamnesty, because I know that with the border secure it would make very hard for the need to arise again. And with harsh prosecution of the business owners hiring them, the incentive to come over illegally would dry up faster than a turd in the Arizona desert.

  The unfortunate truth is that there’s not a lot of difference between them.. If McCain were in office he’d done 90% of what Obama had done and these so called conservative ignoramuses wouldn’t have said as much as a word.
  
  The whole enchilada has come apart. Enough Conservatives are no longer deceived by their Establishment and we are determined that we will not be force fed by them.
  
  Rand Paul is a conservative eventhough he’s beginning to scare me a little..

  When it come to the illegal immigration issue … Cruz has it wrong. Tthe Democrats must love Marco Rubio’s recent flip flop position.
  
  Marco Rubio, March 2009:
  “I am strongly against amnesty. The most important thing we need to do is enforce our existing laws. We have existing immigration laws that are not being adequately enforced. Nothing will make it harder to enforce the existing laws, if you reward people who broke them. It demoralizes people who are going through the legal process, its a very clear signal of why go through the legal process, if you can accomplish the same thing if you go through the illegal process. And number two, if demoralizes the people enforcing the laws. I am not, and I will never support any effort to grant blanket legalization/amnesty to folks who have entered, stayed in this country illegally.”
  http://shark-tank.net/2013/01/28/marco-rubio-the-immigration-reform-savior-or-fraud/
  
  Marco Rubio , 2013:
  Sen. Marco Rubio’s immigration plan earned a measure of praise from the White House. And why not? It looks a lot like a White House plan from 2011.

  When it comes to water Rubio couldn’t hold Rand Paul’s. Rubio’s voting record is similar to McCain and he will sell out to the GOP every time. That’s why they anointed him. Rove most likely gave the order that if they trot him out they will win because of the Hispanic vote. It will be McCain; Romney once again. They will try to shove him down our throats.
  
  Skrew you GOP, no more of your Krap.

Rubio and Cruz are raining on the bamboozling bantered bigot-claims parade.
They and Dr. Benjamin Carson are causing the retreat of the racist-republican rhetoric.

>Now, what to do about calling out alleged conservatives and kicking them out.

That’s why they couldn’t stand West, or Cain or Condoleezza. When faced with an opposing voice that happens to have minority parents, the real sick twisted racsim of the democrats and the left really comes out. The left is truly vile.

  The KKK were Democrats and Lincoln was a Republican….Go figure.
  
  Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are awesome and they are the New Washington, so all the social butterflies better pack it up, the good guys are back in town.
  
  Every Liberal I have ever met was a racist, unless you are a white woman.

  Naw, Freasonstein, the only criminal thing about the current war is that we HAVEN’T smoked all the RagaMuzzied JihadiNazi Sandyknickers yet.
  Shoulda been done by end of business, day after 9/11, 13th at the outside.
  Letting a single one of the Dark Age Barbarian Patriarchal Klanbangers LIVE, now THAT’s criminal.

  @Soybomb According to her book Condi became a Republican because she believes in the 2nd amendment. I like that and because she is an independent accomplished woman with an inspiring life story. Her achievements have no bearing on being married to a president. Yes, I added the last part because Hillary has Clinton attached. There is no taint to Condi’s name. I disagree with some of her views but then again she would probably disagree with some of mine.
