'Thank You,' Senator Cruz

Best image to come out of Tuesday night’s State of the Union address!

Sometimes a picture truly is worth a thousand words. And this one tells the whole story of what genuine conservatives are dealing with in Washington...

At Tuesday night's State of DisUnion address, John McCain was captured dancing a little jig of joy as Obama endorses his so-called bipartisan immigration reform blueprint. A giddy McRINO stands between two wildly applauding NY Senate Democrats, Gillibrand and Schumer. Fellow Gang member, Lindsey Grahamnesty, can be seen flanking the trio on one side, while quite a stark contrast is drawn from the newly minted Texas Senator, Ted Cruz.

As Sen. Ted Cruz remained seated and entirely unimpressed with President Obama’s words on immigration reform, a slobbering John McCain jumped to his feet for what Twitchy CEO Michelle Malkin dubbed the “Shamnesty Shake.” We can’t stop watching!

You see, Ted's not participating in the clapping seal routine. Why not? Because he actually understands the destruction this president means to progress in his second term. Here's Sen. Cruz's official reaction to the SOTU address...

The President had an opportunity to reach across the aisle and propose policies to produce economic growth. Unfortunately, he chose instead to embrace unabashed liberalism.

President Obama only knows how to grow government, not the economy.

Under President Obama, the economy is entering its fifth year of substandard annual growth – 0.8% on average — compared to an average of 3.3% for the last 70 years.

If the President’s big-government policies were enacted, they would make it harder for the 23 million people out of work to find a job, harder for young people coming out of school to find their first job, and harder for Hispanics and African Americans struggling to achieve the American dream.

There is potential for real bipartisan cooperation in Congress to get the economy growing and help people get back to work, but expanding government spending, debt, taxes, and control of the economy will only make the problem worse.

Well said. On behalf of many greatful Americans, particularly those of us in Texas represented by this magnificent statesman, 'Thank You,' Sen. Cruz for being one of the few adults in a room of otherwise aging adolescence, who are responsible for bringing us to this brink in the first place! Keep up the fight...we're with you, sir.
