Thread: White House Fears ‘President Cruz’ Will Overturn Exec Amnesty

White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer conceded that he fears a President Ted Cruz will overturn President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty, perhaps signaling that Cruz represents the greatest threat to the progressive left.

“Our first 100 days we spent a lot of time signing executive orders undoing what [President George W.] Bush did, and I would like not to be sitting on a beach somewhere reading about President [Ted] Cruz doing that to us, so it’s very important to us,” Pfeiffer told the Wall Street Journal on Friday.

Earlier in the day, Pfeiffer declared that Obama’s executive amnesty was one of the reasons that made 2014 a “year of great progress” for the “progressive agenda.” He told the Journal that from the “perspective of advancing our agenda through our pen and our phone, this has been a tremendously successful year.”

Cruz, a potential 2016 heavyweight, would run as a bold conservative. And the conservative Texas Senator has not been ambivalent in the least about wanting to repeal Obamacare and reverse Obama’s executive amnesty.

Cruz has also, with his actions, made it clear that he isn’t the type of politician who campaigns as a conservative and then turns his back on the base as soon as he is elected. That, more than anything, is why the bipartisan permanent political class and Washington insiders despise him.

Despite his fears, though, Pfeiffer, according to the Journal, ultimately “predicted Obama’s administrative actions on immigration and Cuba will stand no matter who sits in the White House in 2017.”

You know, it's amazing how these people like Dan Pfeiffer and many others in recent years have totally redefined words important in our language. The word "progressive" used to mean what it meant to Republicans, freedom, ending slavery, ensuring civil rights, higher wages, better working conditions, the 40 hour work week, big railroad projects, a new interstate highway system, a national parks system, the Environmental Protection Agency, OSHA, equal rights for women, and on and on and on, all part of the Big Tent Republican Progressive Agenda since the day the party was formed to pursue these goals.

But globalists and socialists have redefined this great word "progressive" and turned it into something to be abhorred, despised and revolted against, because it's no longer a word that describes policies and actions that help everyone, it's a word that defines the government policies that mandate and authorize the actions of stealing from one to give to another. This isn't progress, it's theft.

It is difficult to get behind Cruz' wagon and give it a push. He favors expanding the number of visas for STEM workers. I am at a loss as to how to interpret that guy's intentions? Voting for the lesser of two evils has not worked out well over the last half century, soooo.....where do we turn for representation? So far, the options are not good.
