I guess Cruz doesn't want to be elected.
FTA: The language of the press release, Cruz himself, and the other Republicans were clear, indicating that they do not believe that Americans who have refused the COVID-19 vaccination deserve to have their previous normal lives restored. They also offered no support for the rights of those who have naturally acquired immunity from the virus, which is at least as effective as the vaccine or better.

Pure hyperbole. The press release itself says nothing even close to unvaccinated people being undeserving. Yes, Cruz deserves suspicion, but this could easily be a partial win, moving the ball halfway towards the goal.
Everyone on this board hates mask mandates, but we've also all played the game of highlighting the democrats' lack of consistency or logic. That's all this is: using democrats' "logic" against them for a partial move.
Correct. This is click-bait bullshit, and apparently all the others in this thread have severe reading comprehension problems. The whole thing was about ending mask mandates for people that got the injections. That is all. Nothing else.
It DID NOT say anything about people that did not get the injections OR about people with natural immunity. That was a bunch of crap made up by whatever moron wrote that article.
The site is flooded with this kind of stuff these days. People just upvote based on the headline.
we need to make downvotes great again
Guys did you even read the article? He wasn't advocating for mask mandates at all. HES TALKING ABOUT FEDERALLY REGULATED TRAVEL THAT ENFORCES EVERYONE TO WEAR MASKS ALL THE TIME PERIOD. HES ARGUING THAT EVEN THE GOVERNMENTS OWN POLICY CONTRADICTS THIS RULE AND IT SHOULD BE ENDED. Good lord just read the first fucking paragraph.
I think only a few of us did. The site is horrendous.
God-given rights cannot be taken by ANYONE. Anyone trying to infringe on American God-given rights needs to be confronted, tried, and if guilty, executed. Allowing our rights to be weathered away slowly like erosion must never be allowed again.
More like the virus shedders/spreaders who GOT the vax should be the ones who are put into a separate section of the plane (like the luggage/cargo area) - LOL!
Natural immunity is ALWAYS better than vaccine immunity.
On top of that, there's some concern the vaccines are more risky to those who already have the natural anti-bodies.
Forcing people to wear masks as until they assimilate and "prove" they're healthy by taking the vaccine is no different than being guilty until proven innocent. Also, asymptomatic spread has not once been proven. If you don't have symptoms you're not sick. Don't let them treat you otherwise.
This^^
I think he probably exposed himself, literally, a long time ago, was given an out by the Trump admin, took it but is still paying his dues. They will keep him squirming a little so he doesn't forget what's at stake.
Read the article. OP's headline is misleading clickbait.
I don't really think Cruz is cabal or a RINO, I think he's legitimately just an idiot. Like, he either missed his calling as an actor, or he's an idiot. In my mind those are the only two options. He's more often than not, on our general side, but then he just up and does stupid crap that angers his base. I think he's just an idiot who thinks what he's doing is what his base wants, but he's so out of touch with reality that he thinks being bombastic and over the top is all it takes to keep his base happy. Case in point, him going on vacation during the blizzard storms earlier this year is an idiot mistake, but he's also vehemently fighting against all of these election bills in congress.
Or better example, he's fighting tooth and nail against vaccine passports, but then comes out and says something stupid like this. All in all, he's just not a good person to be in politics. He's better suited to be a spokesman for a used car dealership with his personality and actions.
Cruz wants power. He’ll do whatever he thinks will get him power. He’d sell all of us to be president.
VERY fair point. He's the type who has grand aspirations but can't wipe his own butthole without instructions, so he makes a grand show of it. He actually fights for SOME things people want because he thinks it'll make him look good, ala Trump and Desantis, but then he turns around and shows his own stupidity and angers everyone who would vote for him. He get's the slightest bit of recognition and power and then lets it go to his head.
He's like those people that win the lottery, blow the millions on a bunch of random crap, and then declare bankruptcy a few years later.
It's like all his grandstanding against Big Tech, all just a lot of thunder while Crowder's lawsuit and now Trump's class-action lawsuits are what are is actually scaring them as a congressional or senate hearing for Big Tech is just another annoyance.
Get them all out of office.
The US Constitution forbids any law singling out Americans for ANY purpose.
This proposal is a blatant violation of the US Constitution.
However, being that it is coming from a completely illegitimate government should not surprise anyone.
Ok so I read the article on that craptastic site you posted. I hope my phonedidn't get any viruses, at one point even though I was just scrolling and not touching anything other than the article itself it's somehow brought me to the Google.
Ranting aside nowhere in the article did I see that it said Ted Cruz was saying a mask for mandatory for the. Is twisting what he said. All he said was if youre vaccinated there should be no need for a mask.
Nice job twisting his words you're worse than the article you linked.
If your dumb enough to trust some made up crap, posted on a known BS sight, that also demands you turn off your ad blocker and lower you AV level just to read their garbage, you probably need to just go to CNN for your news.
Agreed!
more names to make reservations for at GITMO.
Well I’d like to read the article but it’s behind a paywall, so looks like the verdicts still out on Cruz at least for this guy
Sorry that was your experience, but it wasn't behind a paywall for me.
I couldn't read it either.
It'd be a real shame of anybody did a moment of research on how to get around a paywall on a research board. Guess our little movement has met it's match. Pack it up fellas and stop noticing all those 17s cuz we're done here.
Ummmmm Cruz didn't say anything abut trying to force masks onto people....? Only saying vaxxed people most definitely shouldn't have to wear it; and they can't ask.
"Watch the wives". Look into Heidi's background with Tri-lateral commission and the North American union.
Last straw for me from Cruz then. If I were Texan, I would be getting ready to oust him.
Sup blueanon.
if true fuck cruz ratfucker
So they know who to kidnap on the streets and force into fema death camps, maybe.
