Quote:Cruz felt it was common sense to shut down the government and read Dr. Seuss for hours. It accomplished nothing and cost taxpayers millions. He thinks it's common sense to make all abortion illegal. Period. We don't have enough unwanted kids clogging our system. He also wants to defund Planned Parenthood which is a lot more than what he claims it is. He is a religious zealot and a fraud. That's common sense. Anyone who has followed his career knows he is an unelectable jerkwad who ticks off everyone. Pass.

 

The president doesn't have the power to change abortion, he can defund planned parenthood which should be done anyways. Even the all fearful revoking of Roe v Wade wouldn't make abortion illegal it would kick the issue back to individual states which could than decide if it was legal or not. Cruz filibustered the passing of the ACA, even democrats how admit the ACA is horrible legislation and a complete mess. You don't even have to admit what we had before was worth a damn, but the ACA took a bad situation and made it worse. So lets recape cruz:

 

State rights over Federal rights: check

Defund private businesses being subsidized by the government: check (not he also opposes ethanol subsidies in Iowa)

Stood against the ACA: check

 

we might not agree on foreign policy but that's three check marks for me.
