Ted Cruz is a junior Republican Senator form the state of Texas, since 2013; taking office on January 3rd, 2013. Before he would become senator he would be working for a private law firm representing corporate clients (Eckholm, 2012). He would go on to run for Senator in the state of Texas and win, which the “Washington Post” would call his win the biggest upset of the 2012 elections. Coming form a very republican state such a Texas means that his stance on issue would be very involved with that of the Republican Party. Pro-life, traditional marriages between one man and one woman, and a very heavy supporter of gun rights, he votes strictly along party lines. Also, he would not be afraid to flex his muscles out on the floor, and would threaten to filibuster any gun control legislation that would come up (Lengell, 2013). The threat to filibuster any gun control measure covers any effort such as any ID or background checks as well. Along with his stance on many of the top issues facing the country today, he was selected to on a nationwide tour in an effort to defund the Affordable Care Act dubbed “Obama Care”, and would go on to state that the government shutdown would not be a disaster to the republican party or America (Burns, 2013). Cruz would be one of the individuals that would be credited for the 2013 government shutdown.
Ted Crux is a government official of the opposite party of the current leaders of the country. His stance on issues are on the farthest point right of the conservative republicans. What Democrats will bring forward, Cruz will do what ever it takes to make sure that it doesn’t pass and dies on the floor. Whatever the Democrats position, Cruz will take the opposite.

The political future of Texas has been widely debated since the 2012 election of President Bush. Barack Obama, since the state has always played a significant role in impacting national elections. Nationally, there was uneven support among minority voters in favor of the president and Democrats, and as a result there has been an increasing interest in the Hispanic population growth in Texas (Lawrence.) The speculation regards how the changing complexion of Texas voters will influence the political process, with political pundits broadly predicting that since the Latino population typically votes for Democrats, there is a possibility that Texas will eventually become a blue state.... ...

The topic that I am choosing to do is on Obama Care. I chose this topic because the idea of the government forcing people to obtain insurance is wrong in my eyes. I am interested in analyzing the validity for what has been said about this topic in order to increase my understanding about Obama Care. I am not an expert when it comes to Obama Care. I know that this is an insurance that is being provided through the government for the general public. I have read that President Obama never initially read the whole bill itself. I also know that people who cannot afford it, but make too much money to qualify for Medicaid are being heavily encouraged to get this insurance. Some of the common knowledge that I have found that the general public has about this subject is that some people are for Obama Care and think that it is a wonderful idea and that there are some people that are dead set against Obama Care. Younger adults, specifically college age and individuals that are in their twenties tend to be for Obama Care. The insurance is being forced upon individuals that may or may not want it. It also seems as though that the insurance being offered is pretty generic in terms of coverage. Some of the questions that I have that I believe will aide me in writing this paper would be the following: What are the pros and cons of Obama Care? What are the thoughts of Obama Care with the people of the government? As well as what are the basics of Obama Care?

Ted Cruz is a fairly strong contender for the Republican nomination at the moment and has some definite strengths. His first strength is his fervent support of and commitment to upholding the Constitution, especially the First and Second Amendment. He worked as a lawyer prior to becoming a senator and is well versed in constitutional law. Another strength is his strong conservative ideals, which makes him popular among the Tea Party and evangelical voters, especially when it comes to issues such as abortion, marriage equality, gun rights, immigration and more. In addition, he has the ability to raise a lot of money. In the second quarter of 2015 alone, he had raised over $10 million, with no signs of slowing down. He has a strong campaign team
His political career initially began in 1998 when he won West Miami City Commission. Opportunities arose and Marco took ahold of them. He had made his mark in state politics and went on to win his bid for the Florida House of Representatives in 1999. In 2003, Marco had become majority leader and speaker of the house which made him a dominating political force. As speaker, Rubio created an ambitious campaign to generate ways to improve and reform the state government. Rubio had a proposal called “100 Innovative Ideas for Florida’s Future,” in which half of these ideas became laws. Rubio wasn’t all talk , this man was strictly business. Rubio continued to climb the ladder by surprisingly winning Florida Senator in 2009. Rubio was viewed as an underdog, but the well-spoken young politician made sure the people were aware of his opponents ties with Barrack Obama. He knew we needed change and he wasn’t settling for anything less than a win. Rubio shows great leadership and continues to show political domination in the state of Florida. Rubio continues to prove himself over and over again only to lead him to his biggest task
This editorial-narrative may seem like a joke, but throughout it are the real beliefs of Paul Ryan. By stating facts about Ryan’s beliefs and his alleged Christianity, it allows Kristof to unveil the hypocrisy. Kristof begs the question, how is Paul Ryan a Christian if he has non-Christian beliefs about healthcare? With all the facts, the reader only has one choice when deciding the answer. Paul Ryan is just a bad Christian who hides behind faith to protect his

I believe in hard work, socially acceptable, lawful behavior, minimal taxes and intervention, and equal treatment. I do not believe in favoritism, big business, PACs, lobbyists at the expense of others, and partisan politics. Religion and politics are personal choices and not for public scrutiny. I value differences in opinions and backgrounds but not at someone else’s expense. I think Texas does somethings right as Gov. Perry stated but not everything. I take a more moderate

I am Senator Rafael Eduardo Cruz. Unlike President Obama, I was born in the country of Minister Maryam Monsef and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada. Since I have been very honest all of my life, my fellow Canadians and the American people in the State of Texas, and most the American Senators inside of the chamber are calling me Trusted Ted. Excluding Vice President Biden, Senator Sanders, Senator Warren and the Honorable Justice Ginsburg who is celebrating today. Happy Birthday to your Justice. Wishing you happy, happy years to come. "Ted Cruz is a little baby, a maniac, a nasty guy and a Bible- holding liar. If he doesn't cleanup his act, stop cheating & negative ads, I have standing to sue him for not being a natural born citizen."
Senator Ted Cruz has stated if he were to be elected President of the United States of America his first courses of action would include working on a new immigration reform plan. The immigration reform plan he stated in his platform comprises of having birthright citizenship revoked (Cruz). Birthright citizenship is the legal right for all children born in a country 's territory, regardless of the legal status of the child 's parents, to have citizenship. This has been a subject undergoing intense evaluation this election year. Ted Cruz has stated that he is against birthright citizenship because “it makes no sense … to be providing the tremendous incentive of automatic citizenship to the children of those who enter illegally” (Cruz).
