Ted Cruz: Obama is ‘lawless’ and senators must ‘render judgement’ on impeachment

[Galraedia]

Source: Raw Story

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) opened the door over the weekend to impeaching President Barack Obama because he said that the commander in chief had been “lawless.”

In an interview published on Saturday, Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg asked Cruz what could be done about the “abuse of power” by the Obama administration.

“One of the most troubling aspects of the Obama administration is, aside from their radical policies, the way they’ve implemented it has sadly been lawless,” Cruz explained. “Over and over again, this president has said, ‘I don’t care what the law is, I’m going to refuse to enforce it.’”

The Texas senator cited the administration’s decision to grant work permits to young immigrants who were brought to the United States as children and tweaks to implementing the health care reform law.

1. Oh Ted

Forget to take your meds again?

[Voice for Peace]

38. I don't think there are meds for this condition.

Think of this: his main teacher & role model day in and out,
his crazy father. He thinks in extremes, black and white.
Cruz learned to speak & perform in the style of a megachurch
preacher, the intonations, facial expressions.. except he
talks nonsense about politics instead of about religion.

2. Ted who? /nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Keep talking, you nitwit.

The more you yap, the better the chances are you'll go down in flames before 2016.

[Snarkoleptic]

15. Agree!

Cruz is laying out a banquet of oppo research for all to enjoy.
This run-to-the-hard-right strategy employed by so may GoOPers is a wonderful thing.

[burnsei sensei]

58. Yes, yes, yes. Keep talking, Ted!

A little more aspiration and ambition, if you please!
He's like the little slot that kept winning and winning.
What's next, revelations from God?

[RBInMaine]

4. Please Teddy, keep up the CRAZY, every juicy nugget of it, you total WHACKJOB.

[RBInMaine]

5. Just call him CRAZY CRUZ !

[Plucketeer]

11. You just may have stumbled upon a new word!

When someone says something daffy, we can "That's Cruzy!"

[liberal N proud]

6. Oh please Ted, go for it!

It would be the best thing that could happen for the Democrats.

[Arkana]

7. If I were Obama, I'd take a memo:

Dear Senator Cruz:

Suck it.

Love,
B-Rock "The Islamic Shock" Hussein Superallah Obama

[MoreGOPoop]

14. B-Rock!

Love it!

[Voice for Peace]

37. Hussein Superallah Obama.. lol.

[PatrynXX]

8. someone deport him back to

Canada. Join his Toronto buddy up there

[PDJane]

59. No. Thank you, but no. We don't want him. He chose you. Sending him back is a declaration of war

[weissmam]

9. Laugh

If HE HAS THE RPOOF GO FOR IT, HE DOSN'T so he won't . But if he did he would look like the fool that he is---

Non stop pandering to the idiots

[Scuba]

10. "Radical policies". Snort.

[okaawhatever]

13. That's the new buzzword among the right wing. Someone else recently called him the most radical

President ever. I guess corrupt, Chicago, liberal elite and other words have worn thin.

[MoreGOPoop]

12. K & R

This crap is designed to keep us busy and distracted from accomplishing
any progressive goals. If we are constantly defending against blatant
lies, we are not discussing ways to create jobs and save our planet. If
their base finds out how Cruz and the rest are lying to them about
cheap, comprehensive coverage, they may just show up with their own
torches and pitchforks.

[freshwest]

65. +1,000

[Blue Idaho]

16. Ok Baggers - who's with Suicide Ted?

With any luck they will link arms and jump off that cliff together.

[gtar100]

17. What a nutcase.

[BlueToTheBone]

18. He is just dumb. Only the House can impeach.

The Senate can vote yes or no; but they have no power to impeach.

He's becoming desperate because he is increasingly immaterial.

[kiranon]

23. But isn't he the de facto speaker of the house? (sarcasm)

Or believes he is.

[BlueToTheBone]

30. Oh, right. Of course he!

[maxsolomon]

50. If he said "render judgement", then he got it right

As his college roommate said, he ain't stupid.

Crazy and wrong, but not stupid.

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

19. Dick Cruz,

you needs to read the Constitution dude. You seem a bit confused.

[TwilightGardener]

20. Well, he's a lunatic. You can write this jackass off for good.

[countmyvote4real]

21. "Please proceed."

What a gaping asshole.

[Maraya1969]

22. Does anyone else interpret this statement by Cruz like I do?

“We have never seen a president behave like President Obama, who believes he can just pick and choose:"

My interpretation - "We have never seen a president behave like President Obama, who believes he can just pick and choose. Uppity N-word"


Ir just seems as if those words are implied. It pisses me off.

[thelordofhell]

24. Censure

This prick needs to learn you don't just talk out of your ass.........

[Monk06]

25. He seems determined to board the GOP crazytrain with Huckaberry, Brownhack, Cariboo Barbie

and a host of like minded nut cases. After he gets the shit kicked out of him in 2016 even Fox won't want him.

[RC]

26. Yeah, and bu$h was honest beyond all reason.

What do the Republican know about the law, except that they think they can make it up as they go?

[PumpkinAle]

27. Ted Cruz

= Orly Taitz in drag or is Orly Taitz Ted Cruz in drag?

[sarge43]

32. Taking Michele Bachmann's role as Repug Cray-Cray. n/t

[bearssoapbox]

43. Has anyone ever seen them together?

At the same time?

Just sayin'.

[chwaliszewski]

28. Wow...

That guy is poo-smearing crazy.

[King_Klonopin]

29. Is the GOP a refuge

for every coward and chicken-shit who wished they
had the huevos to be a real tough-guy bully?

If someone would just smash in his face, it would
lift my spirits. It's on top of my Christmas wish list.

Hey Teddy, if you have an accusation, MAKE IT.
You keep saying he has "broken the law", and needs
to be impeached, but you never provide one valid charge.
What's your indictment, you stupid, demagogue
motherfucker?! I wish someone in the media had the
balls to say, "Make a specific accusation or STFU."
Why is he allowed to accuse without citing a crime?

Radical Policies? which ones exactly?
Lawless Implementation? the example you gave is stupid and wrong.
Abuse of Power? When and what did he do?
"I refuse to enforce the law?" Really? He said that, even indirectly?

He is the perfect example of why people hate politicians.

[City Lights]

31. Another insane republican.

Why don't they get mental illness treatment? It's there for the taking.

[sinkingfeeling]

33. Yes siree,them there's high crimes and misdemeanors.

[BlueJac]

34. Ted Cruz is clueless

[workinclasszero]

35. FU Cruz

Go back to Canada asshole.

I sure hope this loon is the teapublican candidate in 2016!

[Major Hogwash]

36. Cruz is already irrelevant. Like a shooting star, he has already burned out.

He has nothing to add to the national discussion about anything.

[frylock]

39. have they ever outlined any SPECIFIC laws that the president has broken?

[MrMickeysMom]

40. Ted Cruz is missing his testicles

That would make him Ball-less, wouldn't it?

Over and over again, we heard Jesus warn him… http://www.hark.com/clips/mtdhkcvysx-stop-playing-with-yourself

[TeamPooka]

41. STFU Ted.

[RosettaStoned77]

42. Obama radical?

Then I must be up there with Lee Harvey Oswald! This guy is funny. If he was a Dem he could say these same things on the floor with just a hint of and get
HUGE laughs.

[Jack Rabbit]

44. Maybe he should take up stand up comedy

A real stand up comic doing Ted Cruz could do worse than to resort to a Tina Fey trick of simply quoting Cruz and let the absurdity speak for itself.

[RosettaStoned77]

45. SNL?

Don't they have a guy who even looks like him?

[bearssoapbox]

46. Yup! That's right up there.

Right up there with WMD"S, "Mission Accomplished" and the murder of thousands of American troops and Iraqi civilians.



Keep it up you crazy, teabagging nutjob.

The Democrats will take all the help you want to give them.

[maxrandb]

47. Hey Ted, why don't you ensure that the nutbag caucus in the House

refuses to raise the debt ceiling and shuts down the government until the House passes articles of impeachment.

Please do it, because that would be awesome!

[allan01]

48. who is lawless

rush limbaugh . ted cruz and 40 other misfit republicans in the senate . along with bussinness. obama lawless . my tush/

[Left Coast2020]

49. I would appreciate this POS more if he just came out and publically admitted he is...

...A racist.

[rurallib]

51. I so wish they would

I think the blowback would be so fun.

[lostincalifornia]

52. Does he know it originates in the house not the senate?

[Drale]

53. SENATOR Ted Cruz didn't open any doors

because he's a Senator and the Senate is Blue so yeah.

[Agnosticsherbet]

54. Seems Old Ted is trying a bit to hard to corner the crazy religious demographic.

Seems silly since he already has that group of voters sewed up tighter than tilly.

[rock]

55. Wow! With specific charges like that

"Wha'cha in for `Bama?"
"Being lawless. Now give me any trouble and I'll be lawless to you!"

[yurbud]

56. somebody needs to trot out a history lesson on Republican presidents lawlessness every time they

bring this shit up.

From the Baby Bush era:

• dereliction of duty on 9/11
  
  
• Lying about the need for war against Iraq
  
  
• violating the Geneva Convention by torturing prisoners
  
  
• torturing and holding American citizens without charge or access to an attorney
  
  
• Issuing signing statements that violated the clear intent of legislation he was signing into law
  
  
• Lying to the American public about large scale wiretapping
  
  
• Lying to Congress and the public about the cost of Medicare Part D and coercing a government actuary to lie as well.
  

I don't have time to do a thorough list on Reagan, but the biggie:

• Iran/Contra: selling weapons to Iran and giving the money to Contras in Nicaragua in violation of US law.
  
  
• Likely negotiating for delaying the release of US hostages to undermine Jimmy Carter's re-election prospects and committing treason by undermining US foreign policy.
  

And so on.

[Gothmog]

57. If the GOP retains the control of the House after 2014 midterms, there will be an attempt to

impeach President Obama. These idiots have been talking about this for a long time and they will need to follow through to make their base happy

[freshwest]

67. +1

[RoccoR5955]

60. The RepubliCONs keep projecting. n/t

[eppur_se_muova]

61. Cruz is still relevant ? I thought that ship had sailed ... and foundered.

[yuiyoshida]

62. Ted Cruz could never fill Obama's shoes....

Not if he ever parked at tractor trailer truck inside.

[madrchsod]

63. oh my... latinorebels.com have an interesting article about ted and his daddy..

[struggle4progress]

64. Any Newsmax interview with Cruz is guaranteed to be a steaming heap

[pansypoo53219]

66. PLEASE! and reap the backlash AGAIN.

[silvershadow]

68. I, for one, have rendered judgement on Ted Cruz. He has officially de-throned Palin.

(Bachmann was first runner-up). That is all.

[pangaia]

69. Where is Dick Cheney when we need him?
