In case some of you missed this one, Senator Cruz voted in favor of giving President Obama the right to treat the “treaty” with Iran as nothing more than an executive order, rendering Congress completely useless in the process. In essence he gave the nod for Obama to use his “pen and phone”-style executive order to wield his foreign policy.
It’s the single-most vital terror-related issue of our lifetime – and Cruz voted to do the opposite of what every American wanted done with the deal. He was even one of the Keynote speakers shouting out against it at the “Stop Iran Rally”.
For me, it was just another obvious display of Cruz saying one thing very conservative and doing another thing very liberal. But for the evangelical conservatives….many don’t even know he voted for it, and those that do are blinded by his Shakespearean poses as he claims, “I am the most conservative candidate running- vote for me.” bla, bla, bla.
When questioned, double talking Cruz said that by voting in the overwhelming majority to give President Obama the right to make it an executive action that he was “hoping to slow down the process.” Wow? Can you imagine as commander in chief, Cruz using logic like that and hope our aggressors slow down whatever process they are moving toward? I can because it sounds just like his poison pen amendment strategy! You know add an amendment so something won’t get passed and it does? Or after filibustering Obama Care, Cruz votes for the house bill anyway? The guy is either a simpleton or a liar after the fact. But go ahead and believe his double talk, as he says – talk is cheap, you shall know a candidate by his WORKS. Well, so far all his talk is cheap and his works go against conservative values and especially against the will of the people.
When Cruz claims to be the principled, filibuster-owning, stand up for conservative values tea party guy with his mouth, and ends up helping Obama further the abuse of executive orders – and to do so on the single-most vital terror-related issue of our lifetime, I say his works speak so loudly I can no longer hear what he is saying!

This is a dishonest piece by The Marshall Report. The bill being referred to passed the Senate 98-1 and created a review process where the republicans , including Cruz , would try to block the Iran deal. They needed democratic help in order to do so.They didn’t get it. Without this bill Obama could have done what ever he wanted with no review. The Trumpkins will go to great lengths to smear the people who are running against Trump, who would probably lose toClinton. This is just another example. But maybe Dianne Marshall found the strategy too difficult to understand? http://therightscoop.com/ted-cruz-why-i-voted-yes-for-corker-iran-bill/
Apparently Kevin you are one of Cruz boys. Do you think any one would believe you after what happened in Iowa at the caucus? Don’t think so. Oh! the nickname Trumpkins, I like it.

Cruz did Not Vote on this, “No Vote R Cruz, Ted TX”
The other senator of TX voted Yea. So what if it would’ve made no difference if he voted.. At least he should have voted. The Bill Amendment says:
“This was a vote to approve or reject amendment S.Amdt. 1150 (Ron Johnson) to H.R. 1191. The title of the amendment is S.Amdt. 1150 (Johnson) to H.R. 1191: To declare that any agreement reached by the President relating to the nuclear program of Iran is deemed a treaty that is subject to the advice and consent of the Senate.”
Correct me if Im wrong, but Basically it says that the amendment makes what Obama is doing, to be deemed a “Treaty” and is Subject to “Advice and Consent of the Senate”. Isnt that what We Want? Instead of Executive Action? Well, it ;passed. Cruz Did not Vote either way on it. Sorry, but It bugs me that he did not vote on something important like this. Very Ambiguous, I say…..
He was elected to Represent the People, If it was Bad, Vote NO. IF it was Good, Vote YES.
No Vote = He did not want to get involved, because it would show on his Voting Record. Its the Only Reason I would think he would not Vote on it.
America does not need a wimp running our country.
Oops. THINK borders, not this. Sorry.
For such a smart person who seems to know the constitution, I hope Ms Marshall isn’t a TrumpTard! He just said he would basically use pen and phone just like the current dictatorship.
He will use his pen and phone for us! Big difference. He loves America. Globalists don’t and want to destroy our sovereignty. This borders. Cruz is Cuban Canadian. Zero loyalty.
You are so right about Cruz. But do we really trust any of them? I just hope Trump closes the borders.
Gadsden, please name one thing that Trump is actually for doing that is in line with the establishment globalist agenda? What Trump said he would do with his pen and executive privilege is to get IT OUT AND SIGN NEW EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO OVERRIDE ALL THE BAD AND AWFUL EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT OBAMA HAS SIGNED INTO PLACE. THEREBY MAKING HIS EVIL ACTIONS NULL AND VOID. He has said over and over (which you obviously didn’t quite understand) is that the “Beauty of executive orders is that the next president can over write them with a new executive order.” There in lies the failing of Obama not to go before congress and get approval, which would be much harder to undo. So yes, Trump will use the power of his pen. For the right purpose. And NO HE IS NOT ESTABLISHMENT. HE IS FOR AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY AND THE ONLY CANDIDATE RUNNING THAT CAN STAND UP AGAINST THE GREAT MERCHANTS WHO DESIRE THEIR NEW ORDER.
Hahaha he just caused a huge MASSACRE IN GAZA and after bowing to the Prince, gave Saudis $1.3BILLION for weapons… shameful! You can’t get more NWO than that.
BY THE WAY, THIS PERSON IS A PROUD TRUMP SUPPORTER. DID YOU NOT NOTICE THE PHOTO ON THE PAGE OR READ THE REASON THIS SITE WAS ESTABLISHED? IF YOU THINK CALLING ME A TRUMP TARD IS AN INSULT, THINK AGAIN…..IF I AM GETTING UNDER YOUR SKIN TO SAY THAT….THEN I SMILE FOR I DID A JOB WELL DONE. TRUMP WOULD BE PROUD!! IT’S CALLED BECOMING ONE WITH THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BEATEN UP BY IDIOTS AND THE UNINFORMED. TRUMP JUST CALLS THEM BAD PEOPLE.
Someway or other, Cruz is in with Obama.
So is Trump
Source? Oh wait. You don’t have one, since it’s a bold-faced lie. Cruz did not vote on this. It wouldn’t have passed even if he did vote. Who else didn’t vote? Rubio. Graham. With these three would it have passed? No. It lost by 11 votes. Instead of spreading propaganda based on hear-say, maybe you should research it yourself.

You just ate the trolling momo’s lunch. No leftovers.
Big mistake messing with you Dianne!
Dianne makes it business to do her homework ,you Mr. Need to apologize for your ignorance! Back off! You are the Big One Cowboy!
You back off HarleyKathy because we will not. Get a life.
Executive orders/actions can be torn up and undone on a new Presidents first day in office….Treaties take much longer to un do….Obama was going to do this anyway..one way or another…and executive action is easier to stop!! that’s WHY !!!!
Thank you, Ted Cruz knows the Constitution, he memorized it as a young man.
I enjoy these reads. Sheds light on some things most people don’t even think about but should know about.
