Ted Cruz is a highly educated, smart man. There are no smart people (who are honest) who deny this fact. So for you to attack Ted Cruz with something thats obviously false just makes you look jealous of his extraordinary success and popularity.
Indeed. He's the #1 conservative on the national scene. The entire old guard hegemony hates him. That's a fantastic recommendation. m He is too late. He would follow the Constitution and without seizing legislative power like the Boy King he will be unable to save us from anything. We are doomed.
` I deny it so I guess that makes me dumb...or maybe not: The Ted Cruz is smart trap: Why this garbage is false and dangerous
It is so sad watching the right wing sheep, beaten with silliness for so long they have to say things like this. They are like the tiny dog on the Bugs Bunny show chasing after the big bulldog. Yapping for attention.
Actually they disagreed with Obama to be honest. He said it was a penalty. They said it was a tax. The law is Constitutional if if is seen as a tax.. HOWEVER they never said that Obama could change the LAW whenever he felt like it like he has with his waivers/mandates. A little honesty from you would be nice.
Wow! You got that from the link? What in the heck were you watching or reading? Helloooooooooooo?! What part of MSNBC abjectly apologized for the leftwing crap that came spewing out of their guest's mouth went -- zipppp! -- overhead?
Actually, it is both a penalty and a tax. The only thing you are doing is using oblique definitions of penalty and tax to try to prove your pont. The Shared Responsibility Payment is a penalty by definition and a tax by application, similar to the early withdrawal penalty for certain retirement distributions. Or in another example the repayment of the first time homebuyer credit is a tax, but it is a loan repayment under the code. As for "changing the law," that can be achieved by the excecutive branch within the application of the law itself. There is a proviso in the code that allows this. Usually it is stated like, "the Secretary shall have the power...."
Not the biggest fan of Cruz, here.... but that is definitely a good point. I'll keep reading to see his answer......
No, I saw that. There were two questions... that answers neither of them. But that was an hour ago.... I've since lost interest.
You missed the point. The Administration never argued it as a tax but as a penalty only. Roberts did not heed the administrations argument and arbitrarily changed the argument to a tax in an act of judicial activism. If Roberts had decided on the merits of the arguments alone, he could not have made the decision he made as a matter of law, but as we can see, some judges, like the rest of the liberal judges, are not concerned as much with the law as with feelings.
Carnival Cruz is a gaudy sideshow for the TPs, and the Party's establishment provides them with the circus to keep them entertained while the fat cat elites anoint and bankroll whoever best serves their acquisitive agenda, their "Willard '16". He had been freeloading off his wife's heavily-subsidized coverage through Goldman Sachs, and to avoid the plight of that record-high 20% of Texans uninsured, he has signed onto nationalized RomneyCare under which he remains heavily subsidized - in the tradition of TP goddess Ayn Rand who readily eschewed the airy-fairy ideological claptrap and pleaded for Medicare coverage when she was forced to confront reality. It'll be a hoot watching the bottom feeders squirm and struggle to rationalize his personal capitulation. It was either the ACA, the dreaded, non-subsidized private market, or pleading eligibility under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. Hey, he made the savvy choice - and laughter is the best medicine for everyone else!
http://www.forbes.com/sites/aroy/20...ation-obamacares-individual-mandate-is-a-tax/ You might want to read this. While obama was telling us it wasn't a tax, his lawyers were telling the court that it was exactly that. A tax !! So either Obamas lawyers lied or obama lied. Which one was it?
Ted Cruz has a potentially bigger bombshell to drop if he wants to really stir up the hornets nest. His fellow TX senator, John Cornyn, is a pro-amnesty, big business RINO who hates Ted and his border hawk tendencies. Ted should secretly have Cornyn investigated for ties to the Mexican drug cartels. It is entirely possible that Cornyn is taking drug cartel money. Both former presidents of Mexico, Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon, have said that the drug trade between the US and Mexico could not occur without high level US corruption. Ted should get somebody sniffing around on RINO Cornyn.
All this means nothing. Way too many Americans not only won't vote for Cruz, but actually dislike him very much. BTW, I cannot picture Ted Cruz listening to country music. Just can't see it. lol He has no chance though.
Obama's lawyers did not argue it as a tax before the court so Obama was telling the truth. Roberts changed the argument in a bout of judicial activism.
At points during the hearing Obama's lawyers called it a tax penalty They knew that's the only way this would have passed the courts.
