Cruz defends political tactics since starting in Senate

[TexasTowelie]

DALLAS — Texas' new Republican U.S. Senator, Ted Cruz, visited Dallas Wednesday as part of his first multi-city tour since taking office and defended his recent questioning of Defense Secretary nominee Chuck Hagel.

Speaking at a West Dallas tool shop, Cruz said he won't change how he's pressing his divisive personal stamp on U.S. Senate politics.

"My approach in Washington has been very simple. It was exactly the same approach as the approach I took for two years on the campaign," Cruz said. "I do not think I would be doing my job representing 26 million Texans if I didn't go to Washington and ask the hard questions."

But some Senate Democrats say he went over the line of civility when he questioned — without evidence — where Hagel got money for speaking.

Then you can have at your stupid goddamn political response.

3. Cruz is in everybody's business but his own. After all, he went to the Senate to offer nothing of

merit, but to obstruct the economy and well being of the middle class.

4. No wonder DUers want to bash Texas.
