Republican Infighting: Ted Cruz Slams Rick Perry, Says He Isn’t Responsible for Texas Job Growth [View all]

Sometimes I wonder if there’s anyone besides Mike Lee and Rand Paul who can actually stand Ted Cruz. He seems to almost go out of his way to make even those within his own party despise him.

Then again it’s clear by his actions since becoming a senator that he’s only concerned about his own presidential aspirations in 2016.

And considering that Texas Governor Rick Perry is most likely going to be one of his opponents in 2016, it doesn’t really come as a surprise that Cruz went after one of Perry’s main talking points – jobs.

“There isn’t a politician in this country who’s responsible for the economic growth we have,” Cruz said. “The economic growth has come from the private sector, it’s come from entrepreneurs. Nothing drives me crazier than politicians who run around talking about the jobs they’ve created. Politicians are very good at killing jobs, but they don’t create jobs.”
