Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz told a cheering crowd of conservatives Saturday night that the next U.S. president should shutter the much-maligned Internal Revenue Service and turn the agency’s 110,000 employees loose to police the U.S.-Mexico border.
‘That’s slightly tongue-in-cheek,’ he said in Denver at the Western Conservative Summit.
‘But think about it for a second: You travel thousands of miles, you cross over and see 110,000 IRS agents? You’d turn around and go home!’
His speech before a partisan crowd of hooting and hollering Republicans was the main draw at a conference that brought an estimated 3,500 to hear pols including former VP candidate Sarah Palin, U.S. Sen. Mike Lee and rising right-winger Dr. Ben Carson.
But Cruz brought down the house with a speech that sounded as much like practiced campaign stumpery as a laundry list of grievances with the Barack Obama administration.
The normally stolid and bloated GOP establishment, he hinted Saturday, is dismayed at his rise to prominence among tea party sympathizers and other grass-roots conservatives, and he wore his outsider status like a badge of honor.

Ahh…the half-American, half-Canadian, half-Mexican asshole is telling everyone how to do their job, when he doesn’t even do shit himself nor is he even naturally born here. He still thinks he can run for president. So sad. Dump this treasonous bastard over to his Mexican and Hispanic friends. No one wants him.
