Quote:U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Saturday said that to resurrect America's greatness it was necessary to revive the economy, defend the Constitution, and restore America's place in the world arena.

Appearing at the conference themed "America at Its Best," Cruz told more than 3,000 attendees to the Western Conservative Summit in Denver that "the single biggest lie" is that Republicans are the party of the rich.

"The rich have done fine with big government," he said. The ones most hurt by big government are those who are struggling.

The event, in its fifth year, is sponsored by the Centennial Institute, the think tank of Colorado Christian University. It is being held at the Colorado Convention Center and the Hyatt Regency Denver.

Alluding to NSA eavesdropping, Cruz invited the audience to "please leave your cell phones on. I want to make sure President Obama hears every word I say."

He said it seemed as if Obama was "going down the bill of rights trying to violate one at a time."

Cruz said, "We need to defend the Second Amendment" adding that, "In Texas, we define gun control as hitting what you're aiming at."

He said, the 10th amendment defines and limits the powers of the federal government. Washington's power does not extend to education. "I would repeal every word of Common Core. Education should be [decided] at the local level," said Cruz.

Other speakers during the three-day event, which began on Friday, included former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, retired pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, and Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Tim Scott

Republicans are not the party of the rich after 6 years under Obama,
even though most say the rich have gotten richer. I wouldn't know.

Both parties are the parties of the rich. The rich control both parties and how the laws are written. The middle class is the group that is constantly screwed by BOTH parties.

agreed

Frederic Bastiat says hi!

The GOP needs this populist type of rhetoric. It's time to ignore the racial politics and such when the left tries to use it as a weapon. Populist rhetoric is the one thing Americans almost unanimously love.
