Ted Cruz

[RealCool Daddio]

About what I'd suspect from someone who yearns for more government handouts.

Guess it depends on what you mean by handouts.  I'm mostly in it for the free Mexicans.

Seriously, though, Cruz is an oily used bible salesman, and would have a hard time getting more than 25% of the vote in a general election - and also not a natural born citizen. And Trump is a basic cable, dollar store Reagan who is only weeks away from blurting out that he wants to bang his daughter, or we wants to offer his daughter to Putin, or his daughter was raped by a Mexican.  The Donald can't help himself, he'll self sabotage soon enough.

If you honestly believe a nuclear exchange hinges on what happens in a limited fly zone over a disputed area where innocent civilians are being slaughtered wholesale by the Russians -- and there boy  Assad -- then you're a whole lot dumber than I thought you were. And that's a pretty f****** low bar, pal.

aw, sugar, i see you're typing again.  that's cute.

your impressions of how to handle syria are clearly the product of reflexive herd mentality and lead exposure.  you've never had an original thought in your life, so why start on bellgab?

did you grow up around chat piles? 

"carpet bomb."

Well, look, you grew up a fat, pantie-waist, chump who learned about the world from your sofa.  I, on the other hand,  learned about the world, up-close and personal, while serving with honor and distinction, all over the globe, in places that you`ve only seen on your television. We`ll just leave it at that.

i guess the point you're making is that, in spite of your experience, you continue to sound like an idiot.  doubly unfortunate.

Nope. wrong again. The point I made was, you`re a vapid, imbecilic, cacafuego, who`s knowledge of the world could be capsulized in about 4 Sesame Street episodes. That was the point I made.

Where in the world were you when you found out about Building 7, and what time was it?

We`ll just leave it at that.

Just you wait.

Calling Cruz a conservative is like calling El Chapo a pot dealer.

[albrecht]

Calling Cruz a conservative is like calling El Chapo a pot dealer.

El Chapo was/is a huge pot dealer. At 15 he had his first large field. Marijuana is still a large part of many of the cartels money though now they are into everything and no longer just middle-men in the part of the other drugs.
ps: though I'm sure Jackstar will point out that, supposedly, Bush, even Jeb, is a bigger drug dealer than El Chapo etc via TCB, CIA, and the various banks and companies. 1! 

[Auslandia]

Listen, all this carpet bombing & munching is very interesting but I'm still not voting for Cruz unless he goes scientologist mental and summons a horde of thetans to tear open a hole into the 5th dimension into beer world and we end up with a tap in every kitchen.

[Lt.Uhura]

Calling Cruz a conservative is like calling El Chapo a pot dealer.

He likes to call himself a conservative to court those voters, but he's not a "conservative" in the traditional GOP sense.  And evidently his Republican colleagues can't stand him.  Fascist might be a more appropriate description of his past behavior.  A loose cannon, maverick style personality doesn't jive with the Republican Party.  They'd likely prefer someone malleable like Bush Jr., who can be manipulated from behind the scene.  Neither Cruz or Trump fits that profile.  They're probably hoping Rubio can reboot his persona and gather a momentum.

Heh.  Rafael's latest ad featured a porn star pulling for him.  Until he pulled it himself.

[nooryisawesome]

Considering it. Leaning trump. Marcobot is in the mix.

So fuckin' what?  Conservatives are not necessarily prudes.  There are those of us who may vote for Cruz who could care less about his religious views but vote for him because he has conservative principles. I'm rather disappointed in Ted for pulling it.

Although I agree, Ted does have a face that only a mother could love. Ol' Richard shouldn't throw too many stones. Nor should I for that matter.

I do find that the German word he uses, backpfeifengesicht "a face that is in need of a punch", is a very good description of the reactions Cruz's face elicits in many people.

It does seem like Rafael never learned to use facial expressions like a normal human.

[SciFiAuthor]

I'm amazed that Cruz has any support left among the evangelicals. You can't be a real Christian and employ the nasty campaign tactics that he uses. The man makes me want to barf.

The Truth about Ted Cruz (video)

[Lena]

At Goldman Sachs, Ted Cruz’s Wife Heidi Worked In ‘Wealth Management,’ Not ‘Helping Lift People Out Of Poverty’

A questioner at CNN’s town hall Wednesday night asked Sen. Ted Cruz what issues his wife would take on as first lady.

“She’s got a real heart for economic development,” he said. “Heidi has a real heart here in America for helping lift people out of poverty.”

As a Goldman Sachs executive, though, Heidi Cruz's work did not revolve around economic development for those on the bottom rung of the ladder: Her Wall Street job was focused on increasing the wealth of the already wealthy.

Heidi Cruz served as a managing director at Goldman, and ran “the Houston wealth management unit, which handles portfolios for clients with an average net worth of $40 million.

What do you expect?  Heidi dishing out soup to homeless people in the GS soup kitchen?  Get a grip.  GS is about money.  It isn't a homeless shelter.

but but but Ted said so.
That was the whole point of what I wrote.

Do you happen to know your IQ? Would be interesting. I think everybody should have to do a test and put the number into his profile picture.
This isn't meant as an insult.

“I will send your children to die in defense of a belligerent foreign nation” is a popular position among evagelicucks.

however, “If you won’t stand with Israel and the Jews, I won’t stand with you.”

So its okay for people to attack Cruz because of things his wife did but If you even try and suggest Hillary bares some blame for the endless crap her husband did your sexist? There is such a double standard in politics.

Don't get me wrong I'm not a Cruz fan at all, the guy ISNT a "natural born citizen" don't care what loophole they find. And while we're talking about double standards how about this one. People raised hell about Obama's birth certificate yet Cruz who we KNOW wasn't born in America hardly gets any negative attention for it.

No, it's the veritable Den of Thieves.  Ted Cruz and HRC have both suckled at the corrupting teat of those vile schemers.

Negative. Ted Cruz is a rock ribbed conservative that has fought the establishment since his first day in Washington DC.

Positive. Ted Cruz is a lying, scheming classic conservative who will say anything, to anyone, at anytime to further the agenda of the wealthy.

In fact he is the George Noory of the GOP!  (George Noory sucks.  Ted Cruz sucks. Krypton sucks.)

Heh.  Rafael's latest ad featured a porn star pulling for him.  Until he pulled it himself.

this is a perfect example of what i can't stand about cruz's fundamentalist brand of "conservatism."  he has to pull the ad because, in his mind, the rubes out there can't separate an advertisement inadvertently featuring a soft-core porn star from ted cruz endorsing porn.  what if it were learned the set on which an ad was filmed had previously been used to produce porn?  or the camera?  i think all ted cruz ads should be pulled when it's learned they're being viewed on a computer monitor or phone previously used to watch porn.

[Designx]

Cruz's father is frightening - a Domionist interested in turning the U.S. into a Christian theocracy. He also believes his son is a messiah. I'm not sure what Cruz would do if elected but I imagine it could be well beyond just returning the U.S. to it's constitutional principals.
