Canadian Immigrant Opens CPAC

Sen. Ted Cruz opened CPAC 2014 today by urging support for the GOP's 50th attempt to repeal Obamacare. Via Politico:
“There are a lot of D.C. consultants who say there’s a choice for Republicans to make: We can either choose to keep our head down, to not rock the boat, to not stand for anything, or we can stand for principle,” he said. “They say if you stand for principle you lose elections. The way to do it — the smart way, the Washington way — is don’t stand against Obamacare, don’t stand against the debt ceiling, don’t stand against nothing. I want to tell you something — that is a false dichotomy.” The crowd for Cruz’s speech, which came first in the conference, was fairly small at first as attendees waited in line to get in. But it grew throughout the speech — and the biggest applause for Cruz came when he said the GOP needs to “repeal every word of Obamacare.”
Cruz' opening line: "Good morning! God Bless CPAC! I have some bad news for you today. By virtue of your attendance here at CPAC, every one of you will be audited by the IRS."
