    Now that is an effective ad.

    Since it is poor people are losing their jobs, the Democrats have no concern. They just see more voters and they don't believe the poor are smart enough to understand they are losing jobs to illegals.

    Now, with Executive Order on New Year's Eve, Barack Obama also let in a ton of technology immigrants to replace Middle Class American jobs with more cheap labor.

    It's disgusting, but the Liberals / Democrats have a War on Jobs. They want to drive down wages for Americans, the Minimum Wage laws they are pressing is just a smoke screen.

    Six bumperstickers in one post. Impressive

    Not to mention that for some reason Ted doesn't actually say anything about the size of the economic calamity, just that it is and he's seen it so he knows. Why that is almost trump like.

    Isn't Cruz himself a lawyer?

    Maybe his fans forgot.

    Hey, I'm a conservative, and I agree with you.

    But I'm afraid those are just the baby steps that will never be agreed upon with our politicians.

    Well, no. You see, that will mess up this big wall plan Teddy is using in his campaign.

    Apparently it all goes way over your head. As you are likely only voting for the gay guy anyway, who cares.

    What ? No logic there Wally. Hopelessly lost to the left.

    I don't think that's related to the point he was making in the video.

    They Democratic Party became the true enemy of working people. They destroyed Americans' jobs by imposing so many costly regulations and fines that it shattered American industry. Where Democrats and unions opposed cheap immigrant laborers in the past, they now favor replacing literally millions and millions of Americans' jobs with migrants. They don't care about working people whatsoever. They care about power and money for themselves, nothing else.

    The Democratic Party promises Latinos that they will insure their foreign relatives can come take American jobs to escape their own failed countries, while then promising American workers who lose their jobs food stamps and welfare.

    That would be nice, wouldn't it? But no, the right wing will never have any of that.

    The list of "Anyone but Hillary" is a bit long. Does that confuse you ? I doubt it. Which only makes me wonder why the stupid post.

    So you only vote party line rather than best suited for the job?

    No. But the list of those better suited than Hillary is long with me. My guy on the Dem side was Jim Webb. I would have rejoiced had he prevailed on the Dem side, and would have backed him hugely. He had no chance though. Meanwhile, I would also prefer O'Malley or even Sanders over that corrupt (*)(*)(*)(*)(*).

    So am to assume that the list of "better than Hillary" is short with you ? That is disappointing.

    I don't vote for the lessor of evils. You see, I actually like to vote for the person who I believe is best suited for the job and someone I actually like & support. Unfortunately, other than Rand Paul, I'm (*)(*)(*)(*) out of luck.

    Reduce costs of doing business in the us and you got the first two.

    Take away all aid to migrants and the second doesn't matter.

    The poor people are not losing their jobs to illegals at all and he is basically saying that illegals are also depressing his wages. This is the typical RW fearmongering ad about blaming a group of people for the social ills of this country and does not even address the root causes of the economic disparities.

    So basically, you want real wages to be reduced so that imports can become more expensive and domestic products to be cheaper. Right?

    This would have the following effects:
    1 Real property values and other personal wealth would be decreased.
    2. Pension income would be reduced
    3 The US dollar would decrease significantly
    4. domestic food produce would become more expensive since they would be become more valuable abroad.
    5. Ted Cruz and others would simply move abroad because personal wealth is going to be decreased domestically.
    6. Finally, the US has now become a third world nation.

    Why do you want to reduce foreign outsourcing. That simply gets rid of jobs that are not productive nor practical in the United States while allowing more resources to jobs that are more productive and practical in the United States.

    Actually, he is making the argument that illegals are depressing his wages as well.

    The Democrats have no war on jobs. The unemployment rate is much lower today than what it was during the last Republican Administration. Score one for the Democrats!

    After reading that, I am beginning to suspect I woke up in an alternate universe today.

    No see, let me explain this.

    Cruz in his ad makes a snarky remark about lawyers. Cruz himself is a lawyer.

    Doesn't that make him part of the filthy legal scum that he implies is part of the problem?

    But then again Cruz also makes a snotty remark about bankers. Isn't his wife an investment banker, making both of them what Cruz implies is part the scum messing up the economy?

    I love the dripping, self loathing hypocrusyy that sprays out of Cruz's mouth like fetid spittle on the matter. Almost as amusing as folks rushing to defend Cruz on the matter.

    I'm curious. How many of these low wage workers are being gobbled up by the federal government? I mean, if these workers are good for the private sector, why not the government, too? Wouldn't it save a ton of money? Oh wait...it wouldn't....the government employees are union, so, no matter how dumb or worthless you are you get X amount. My bad.

    I really don't think he was attacking lawyers and bankers so much as he was making a point that liberals would be more likely to pay attention to the border situation if their own white collar jobs were being threatened by illegals from Mexico.
