Pretty clear contrast in leadership style is becoming apparent between him and Obama. Note sure if I would vote for him yet, but it's refreshing to see some straight talk on an issue for once coming from a politician.
Quote:
Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, made clear this weekend his foreign policy strategy for dealing with the militant group Islamic State: “bomb them back to the Stone Age.” "They want to go back and reject modernity," he said. "Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the Stone Age." Cruz made his remarks Saturday in Dallas at a summit for Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the billionaire GOP donors Charles and David Koch. The influential gathering of conservatives also included speeches by a few other potential 2016 GOP White House candidates -- Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Cruz also staked out his position on such domestic issues as the U.S. border-illegal immigration crisis and the Affordable Care Act. “In the year 2017, a Republican president in the Rose Garden is going to sign a bill repealing every word of ObamaCare," he said. Cruz joked about inviting President Obama to the southern border to see where thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children have poured into the country. The president declined such an invitation from Perry. "I figured out the only way there is a chance in heaven he might come (is if) I'm inviting him to come to a golf course," Cruz said. A crowd of more than 3,000 at a hotel ballroom serenaded him with calls of "Run Ted, Run." However, Cruz ignored direct questions about a presidential campaign when he met with reporters after the speech. He told conservatives in the audience, "Each of you is here because we are part of a grassroots fire that is sweeping this country. … We are building an army." On Friday, Perry and Paul pounced on Obama's "we don't have a strategy yet" comments earlier in the week regarding the violent militant faction of Islamic State attacking cities in Iraq. |
