Republican Sen. Ted Cruz sounds increasingly like he's made up his mind to run for president in 2016, telling an influential gathering of conservative activists Saturday that "we are part of a grassroots fire that is sweeping this country."
"I'm convinced we're going to win in 2014, and 2016 is going to be even better," the Texas Republican said during a summit of Americans for Prosperity, the political arm of the billionaire GOP donors Charles and David Koch. "And in the year 2017, a Republican president in the Rose Garden is going to sign a bill repealing every word of Obamacare."
Cruz joked about inviting President Barack Obama to the border to see where thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children have poured into the U.S. The president declined such an invitation from Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
"I figured out the only way there is a chance in heaven he might come, I'm inviting him to come to a golf course," Cruz said.
Cruz offered a way to deal with Islamic State militants in Iraq. "ISIS says they want to go back and reject modernity," he said. "Well, I think we should help them. We ought to bomb them back to the stone age."
That last part sounds like he is channeling John McCain.
Of all of the potential GOP presidential candidates for 2016, I dislike Cruz the most. (And I mean really, really, really dislike him.)
He quite literally makes me queezy.
He reminds me of that asshole who sidles up to you at a party and tells you that your girlfriend looks hot, and if she ever dumped you he would be all over that. In other words he is the kind of guy that I have put on their ass almost more times than I can remember.
He is oily, arrogant, and odious. And I hope that he falls out of the Republican clown car early on so that I don't have to write about him any longer than necessary.
However the thing that he does is to make Rand Paul seem more reasonable and palpable to the primary voters, and that might be exactly what Paul needs to help him to win the nomination.
God can you just imagine the Paul/Cruz ticket?
I would have to take three showers a day just to feel clean.
P.S. Here is an article with more of Cruz's American for Prosperity comedy show.
Try not to gag.
Besides being a dangerous right wing lunatic, the word that always pops into my mind when I see him is 'smarmy'.
ReplyDeleteI'd bet, when he was a kid, the other kids lined up to kick sand in his face.
His father is even scarier. They think that they are going to take over the US for God, take all the money for themselves, and let Americans become slaves to the Gospel. Or something. They are insane. Dangerously insane.
ReplyDeleteI agree. His father acts as though HE is the one running. He tried to make trouble in Cuba, then was run off. He is a religious nutcase, on the same order as radical Islamists. Are these two still Canadians?? Cruz claims he is a US citizen because his mother is, but there is some debate about that. Strange, creepy family.
DeleteWho wants that mug representing us? Good luck, Cruz, like Gryph says, every time I see you I feel like a shower. Same goes for your like-idiot $arah. Her family pic on the stairs with her hands scratching her dirty wig.....eeewwwwwww!
ReplyDeleteSLIME, all of you.
I think Cruz fits the saying "A legend in his own mind". He comes with a veritable boatload of baggage, the worst being his totally bonkers father, whom he worships. If the American people are stupid enough to fall for his lies and and bullshit, then, they will simply fulfill the meaning of that other saying "Voters generally get the government they deserve".
ReplyDeleteMost hated asshole in the Senate because he's done nothing but cause trouble. He talks down to Senators who have held office for YEARS like his noob ass knows something they don't. They can't stand the little turd. He'll never be President and in fact should be thrown out of the senate because of all the damage he's already done to his party and the country. Hope he enjoys his one and only term.
DeleteNothing will ever make Rand Paul seem palpable (touchable) to me. {shudder}
ReplyDeleteI agree, Cruz is the smarmiest, nastiest, creepiest, evillest clown of them all. He is quite intelligent, but hopefully his megalomania will be his downfall, or at least send him off to the author/speaker circuit.
I read (sorry don't remember where) that he really isn't that intelligent. Supposedly he has a photographic memory and has used that instead of any real intelligence.
DeleteI can't stand the guy and hate to even look at his face. He is disgusting.
Typical shallow "libtard" comment here, ha, but I could not spend 4 minutes much less 4 years (god forbid 8) looking at that smarmy mug of his.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference from our current President with his handsome face and infectious grin!
DeleteCruz/Palin 2016! The girly man, manly girl ticket.
DeleteDumb and Dumber ticket. Slime and Slimier ticket.
DeleteWait, you mean he's running for VP with Palin at the top of the ticket, don't you? That's what is maintained over on the pond, that Cruz is running clearance for Palin to step in as head of the ticket. The quitter probable thinks that herself.
ReplyDeleteOh goody. Then she can appoint the Duckers and Ted to her Cabinet? Keep drinking, pee pond. You aren't deluded enough yet.
DeleteCruz is such a creepy slimy person - he has about as much chance to become the gop nominee for president in 2016 as Michele Bachmann had in 2012. It just won't happen.
ReplyDeleteTed's actually the son of Mr Haney from Green Acres. Same voice, same face, same flim-flam.
ReplyDeleteOMG! Right on!
DeleteGreat analogy!
DeleteMr. Haney was a nice guy...none of the Cruz are anything close to human.
DeleteNo. I actually think he looks JUST like a younger Senator Joe McCarthy.
DeletePhoebe, I totally agree! Not only are his looks a reminder of Joe McCarthy, but his tactics mirror the republican awful Fifties of the Twentieth Century.
DeleteThe only difference is that then Communism was the black sheep, now it is anyone whose skin is "not quite white". It is very disturbing to see that too many have not progressed beyond that time.
oily, arrogant, and odious, and his father is worse
ReplyDeleteHis father's speeches are filled with lies. I hope that the old man sinks his son. Rafael's life story is as fake as the Duck Dynasty and Sarah Palin put together.
DeleteHis father's life story is as fake as Duck Dynasty and Sarah Palin put together.
DeleteFunny how Pres. Obama went to a couple of meetings with Bill Ayers and that makes him a terrible person, yet Cruz's father is a "former" communist who served in Castro's army, and that's all good. Such a double standard.
Delete11:35 - Just like none of the right wingers are screaming about him being a "furriner" and demanding a copy of his long form birth certificate, even though he actually WAS born in another country!
DeleteFunny how the same people who would have had a cow about a Hispanic - Cuban no less! - running for President a decade ago suddenly think he's just great after 6 years of a 'blah' President.
Amen, Gryphen. You hit the nail on the head with this one.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for your voice of reason.
rp
Librace. That's who someone else compared Cruz's face to. No offense to Liberace meant. One thing that really bothers me about Cruz is that he is bright, intelligent, and by all means very specific in what he says in legal areas when the base is not present. Yet, he plays dumb to attract the republican wingers. Whereas Palin is already at the level of the wingers so there is no role-acting taking place. I don't know why, but it bothers me when someone like Cruz is so transparently acting stupid. Let's not forget that the American people (ie you &I) bailed out the firm that his wife works for, so she can continue getting cadillac health insurance for all of her family. So he can stand up and say that he is not availing himself of the federal insurance that other senators get.
ReplyDeleteYou know, most insurers nowdays will not let you turn down a policy to latch onto your spouse's. They used to have "primary" and "secondary,' but now I think you're supposed to use your employer's. Or Texas is so bassakwards that they let this fool get away with this.
DeleteWhat kind of woman would marry that nasty little weasel...ewww
DeleteMy sentiments also about "Yertle The Turtle" McConnell, 11:39 AM.
DeleteOf all the fanatic tea party fringe right candidates on the horizon for 2016, Ted Cruz is the most dangerous.
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost, he is a militant Christian supremacist, an arrogant firebrand, and absolutely believes that anyone who doesn't believe in God and Sonny Jesus can just go straight to hell.
Cruz has no use for comity or civility in the Congress, and would make George W Bush seem like a breath of fresh air
Cruz would have no scruples about wielding America's military might as part of his Christian warrior cult, and start wars in several places around the world to please his Jesus.
He would push to end all abortions, overturn Social Security and Medicare, and perhaps among his other horrors, he'd appoint Caribou Barbie as Sec of Energy.
We can only hope that cooler heads prevail among the huge Republican donors and power base.
Perhaps the only saving grace is that he is SO much of a theocrat that the big money oligarchs might be concerned they would not be able to control him like Romney or one of the other idiots whose greed and hubris overrides their faith.
DeleteUltimately, the Kochs and their cronies will be the ones to choose the GOP nominee, and they won't waste their money on someone who refuses to follow their instructions.
I don't want to see THAT face for 4 years.
ReplyDeleteRun, Raffie, Run! Please!
ReplyDeleteYou will NEVER be elected, Cruz. EVER.
ReplyDeleteOMG - you just have to look at his face and see what an asshole this guy is! There is no way that weasel little woose will ever be President!
ReplyDeleteCreepy like a pedophile.
ReplyDeleteHe reminds me of the evangelist/politician from Stephen King's book The Dead Zone. Smarmy, slick bastard who kicks dogs to death when no one is around, and, during an assassination attempt, grabs a toddler to use as a shield.
ReplyDeleteShameless personal story of my current life. I'm basically going through what all parents of daughters go through. Girl wants to date unsuitable boy who has trouble getting his butt to class. Parents try everything to make her see reason. But because boy's parents have no rules, all girl has to do is hang at his house despite numerous calls to them and her.
ReplyDeleteI now feel deeply sorry for Sarah and Todd. Sure their daughter was responsible in other ways and always had a job and was a good student, but there really is nothing one can do to sway a teen.
It sucks that a boy's parents aren't given equal responsibility and often given passes. Though Sarah and Todd DID get a beautiful grandbaby who looks just like their oldest son. At least nothing horrible happened, or by accident, causing bigger problems.
But we've got to start putting responsibility equally on a boy's parents. I have no worries in thinking about Tripp. HE has a wonderful mother's he's close too. THAT will make the difference. Such a good boy.
Put down the crack pipe...
DeleteAnd, just to humor you, it's called "being a parent". You act as if you are powerless against the actions of your teenager. My parents had a solution when one of my siblings would not mind them, he was sent to boarding school in New England; they removed him from his temptations and put him into a new environment. Such drastic measures aren't often called for, the rest of us were threatened with losing our cars, being denied shopping trips and having our rooms stripped of TVs stereos and video games, oh, and if that didn't work being grounded, yes grounded. We were not allowed to leave the house and if we did there would be hell to pay. It's called parenting, try it some time. Also too, make sure that kid's on the pill, just in case your "parenting" doesn't work. Sounds like the last thing you need is another child around to be subjected to your irresponsible child-rearing techniques, although you're probably one of those that would consider her unwed teenaged daughters child as a "blessing".
My brother knocked a girl up and my parents paid for the abortion. See, some teen boys DO have responsible parents that do the right thing. Your generalization is rather amusing.
Grow up. YOU are the adult, YOU are in charge.
@1026
Deletehuh?
(cocking my head to one side in that adorable way that puppies do when they hear something they can't identify or understand...)
Please disregard the comment @ 10:26am...it's just Krazy Krusty and the many voices in her head talking!
DeleteEver since Beldar took over her trolling duties poor Krusty had to learn a new way of trolling!
You can tell it's Krusty because of her continous lust for all things Beefy and her dissing of Levi (the one that got away!). Krusty doesn't have kids...nor any friends...she just spends her days and nights staring at Beefy and pretending that Tripp is HER kid!
Amirite Krusty or amirite! LOL!!!
Do you actually think that anyone, anywhere besides Sarah's low IQ fans believe any of your horseshit? You are out of our fucking mind.
DeleteHe does NOT look like $arah's oldest son. Track is a Menard and no resemblance whatsoever.
DeleteThe only similarities between you and the Palins is that you're all full of shit.
DeleteNo worries, 11:55 AM, all I can say is SarahPAC pays some exorbitant "consulting" fees for these idiots to peruse websites and blogs 24/7 and hilariously defend what an absolute idiot she is.
DeleteOh, just fuck off, you lying nutball. Not one single word of your jackass comment was true.
DeleteWhat about the rest of Bristle's kids, do they not count? Do any of the other baby daddies pay support? Is Levi being singled out since he has a job?
DeleteThen again, it's really no surprise that Bristol's first kid looks like Track, amiright?
DeleteWhat a nice little fantasy world you live in, troll. You get creepier and more psychotic by the day. You need help, seriously.
DeleteHe'd make a good transvestite. Imagine that all made up and in a dress and heels.
ReplyDeleteAnd there go my plans for lunch.
DeleteGack! And I thought my mental images of Teddy-Boy couldn't get worse!
DeleteYou know you've hit pay dirt when you get a personal reply from Gryph! I feel SO GinaM right now! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Delete"And in the year 2017, a Republican president in the Rose Garden is going to sign a bill repealing every word of Obamacare."
ReplyDeleteAnd replace this tremendously successful program with what Ted ?
Exactly. By 2017, every state will be signed up on the exchange, and will have expanded Medicare. Just how the F*** will Cruz repeal something that popular? He might want to sign it, but a Democratic Congress will NEVER pass such a bill. Done deal, Teddy. Why don't you ride Benghazi!!! a bit longer since you have nothing worthwhile to say about immigration issues in your state.
Delete"Replace this tremendously successful program with what Ted?" Prayer, of course! It's not that their ilk think prayer works but it sells so well.
DeleteGryphen, I don't want to be difficult here, but maybe we should try an openly foreign born politician for once? At least Rafael is honest about his immigration status. And it seems like Canada turned out pretty well and they are literally overflowing with Canucks!
ReplyDeleteObama is still being evasive about his origins... First he denies being born in Kenya (ebola, anyone?), then all of the sudden he says he was born in Hawaii! (Hawaii??? Hello!!! Since when is HAWAII part of America???) Which is it? Kenya or Hawaii?? Make up your mind, Obama!
No. I think Cruz is a man for our times. He wasn't born in this country and he doesnt deny it. I respect that. Assuming the Constitution doesn't have anything to say on the matter of requirements to be President, I believe we should give Rafael a chance.
BTW, the word 'oily' as an adjective to describe the distinguished gentleman from pre-succession Texas is considered to be offensive by some.
I believe the word you were looking for is oleaginous.
Actually BJC, I prefer the word is "greasy." It fits him so well, too. The picture of him that Gryphen ran just makes my skin crawl.
DeleteSarah would love to be his running mate, and I would love to see that happen. I like nothing better than to watch a politician crash and burn.
Balzafiar
DeletePotentially offensive words - like greasy - are most often 1 or 2 syllables.
Oleaginous, on the other hand, - clocking in at an 5 impressive syllables - seems to cover all of the low viscosity lipid-based characteristics yet it has a mellifluous, almost-desirable sounding quality to it, doesn't it?
It's a well known fact, that few people are aware of, that no word over 4 syllables can ever possibly be considered offensive.
For example, 9 out of 10 men (and most of the women) you call "greasy" in a rough tavern will beat you to a pulp, while 7 out of 10 will regard 'oleaginous' a plausible compliment. The remaining 3 out of 10 will consider it ambiguous enough not to risk the parole violation for a beating that they're not sure you deserve.
Let's stick with 'oleaginous' for Cruz simply as a gesture of common decency and respect for a man who's earned nothing but our heartfelt contempt.
Finally, a Cruz/Screechy ticket is as unpossible as it is profoundly disturbing. She has seniority having been on a national ticket already and technically, according to official GOP nominating policies and tradition Cruz would "be her bitch", not the other way around. Not that that ticket would be any less disturbing than the reverse, but there you have it.
Dear BJC,
DeleteI know that you know the difference between West Africa, where Ebola has struck, and East Africa, where Kenya is. They're thousands of miles apart.
I write this here in case any trolls, all ignorant of geography and history, might jump on Ebola = Kenya, just to start more scurrilous rumors about the President.
Go study your globe, Sarah -- the one that sits so prominently behind you in your studio.
Over at the pond there's some resident dame that got in free from Cuba badmouthing central americans for trying to get into Texas. Like Cubans are somehow more worthy than other Latinos. How many Cubans got their "instant" get in free cards, so they can end up blogging against immigration reform for "others"?
DeleteBeldar J.C., of course you are right about oleaginous, and I bow to your command of the insult vocabulary. I really hadn't thought it out that far but it all makes sense.
DeleteMaybe this little bit of impromptu education will prompt some of the backwoods butt-buddies to replace "oleaginous" for "crisco", also too.
11:50 - But, but...isn't Africa one big country????
DeleteBalzafiar and Beldar... you are my heroes (for the day anyway). Going with BJC's 5-syllable dictum of unassailability, Balzafiar, you may want to ever-so-slightly change your name to "Bal-za-fi-o-re"!
DeleteWhaddayathink?
@Anonymous11:50 AM
Delete"I know that you know the difference between West Africa, where Ebola has struck, and East Africa, where Kenya is."
Rest assured, kind Sir and/or Madam, I am indeed aware of the distinctions you've graciously pointed out.
Of course, I was relying on the discerning reader to question all aspects of any comment that contains the giveaway question "Since when is Hawaii a part of America?"
I've not read the comments as yet, but I find Cruz to be slimy and creepy. He is NOT attractive to women at all. He'll never win!!!
ReplyDeleteWait until you meet his father, he is a sweetheart!!
DeleteGod that is one ugly mug. Nobody wants to look at that water-headed motherfucker for 4-8 years. His father is even uglier. Both of them are crazy and delusional as hell, which explains why Sarah is so fond of them. They're all scumbags.
ReplyDeleteThey can run whoever they want, it will make no difference. Hillary will trounce all opponents.
ReplyDeleteTypo: queasy, not queezy.
ReplyDeleteEddie Munster is one scary dude. If he actually gets the Republican nomination, which isn't going to happen because I think he gives even them the creeps, he hands the Presidency right over to Hillary.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, but to see that obnoxious face in campaign ads and news reports for 18 months would be simply unbearable!
DeleteTed Cruz as President would be a nightmare of almost biblical
ReplyDeleteproportions ... Randall Flag comes to mind. He doesn't even try to hide his megalomania. He is one scary dude.
Well, the Fundies are always on the look out for the Anti-Christ...
Delete@Anonymous11:36 AM
DeleteYeah, so they can get in line to bow to him. These so-called Christians seem to actually hate the teachings of Christ, and they don't seem to fond of the man himself either, the way he fed and healed people for free and didn't even kill anyone. He's a commie wuss and they want nothing to do with the likes of him!
@948
ReplyDeleteSorry, I didnt see your greasy linguistic observation before making my own related word substitution suggestion for Gryphen in a later comment.
Cruz is everything you say he is and much, much less.
His wife working for Goldman, Sachs isn't going to help him, in the end. If voters didn't like McCain's indeterminate number of houses, or Romney's car elevator, they won't warm up to Cruz, who's just a front for the Robber Barons, no matter how much he hides behind Jesus.
ReplyDeleteHe looks just like my sociopathic ex-husband, the convicted rapist. Sort of like being re-traumatized every time I see him. Eduardo needs to be disappeared any time now.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1jsU9hQH84
ReplyDeleteYou guys have all probably seen it but here he is blatantly lying that Democrats want to repeal the first amendment. The audience responds with shock and for a split second, he gets a look like "oh shit, they're actually buying this!" And then carries on with the lies. This phony dickhead makes Romney look sincere and honest.
Canada Cruz has NO chance of getting even close to the Presidency!
ReplyDeleteHe's a grifter just like Baldy's dumbass! Even the fools at Crazies4Palin don't believe Cruz is eligible! If those dummy's don't think he has a chance..then Crazy Cruz can forget it! LOL!!!
Oh Gina! I have missed you! Busy?
DeleteSorry! It is I,WakeUpAmerica.
DeleteHey WUA!!
DeleteWhat's happening! I'm back for now! Had surgery earlier this summer so I've been on the mend!
Thank goodness for ObamaCare healing me so I was able to get back to talking about Baldy's retarded ass! LOL!!!
Glad to see you back :)
DeleteGood to see you, AND to know that the Affordable Care Act has helped you recover... snark intact!
DeleteThat sounds like a cry of joy: Snark intact! Snark intact!
Odious is a good word to describe him.
ReplyDeleteClownish, shuckster, con-man, slick oily slithery snake also come to mind.
Oh, come on, snakes aren't that bad!
DeleteIn other words, the PERFECT republican candidate! They like them slimy, unethical, dishonest and smarmy. Rafael fits all catagories.
DeleteGod can you just imagine the Paul/Cruz ticket?
ReplyDelete$$$$$$$
I thought it was supposed to be the PALIN / CRUZ ticket?
Somebody better notify 2016 Presidential-Candidate Sarah Palin.
That's the pee pond wet dream. Wait until they find out how they've been had when it does NOT happen. They'll buy her excuses, though, and start praying for 2020. What can one say? She's got an 83 IQ and attracts the same.
DeleteI think that the GOP 2016 ticket will be Romney with Cruz as his VP. Sarah Palin will forevermore be locked out of the GOP or the TeaParty. She'll be accepted as a politician only over at the PeePond and in her mentally challenged and drugged up mind.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I absolutely love the photo of Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin that Huffington Post runs with each and every story of Palin. It's priceless with Ted holding her hand and Sarah coyly looking down with her eyes closed. Flirty, flirty...
That is definitely their 'get a room' photo. And, I bet they did. Must have been sad for Cruz to discover her dick is bigger than his but he was consoled that their balls scored a tie.
DeleteHe would have to be picking bone splinters out for a month. She is nothing but skin, bone, and padding.
DeleteAll good adjectives here to describe crooz. I just think he's fucking butt ugly. How he landed a wife is beyond comprehension. And they procreated! She must have to hold her nose when he's porking her.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget - Yertl the Turtle McConnell found a wife, and Rush Limbaugh found FOUR desperate, greedy, moronic women to marry him!
DeleteGranted, Limbaugh has not produced any children (for which the world is supremely grateful) but Mitchy has produced three little baby turtles.
C'mon, they can't help their looks. Bash them for what they CAN help.
Delete6:21 - I Am talking about what they can help. All three have despicable personalities and are truly odious people. Their kind of ugly goes all the way down to the bone.
Delete"grassroots fire sweeping this country.. Two Kochs bankrolling a christian conservative agenda is not Grassroots, Asshole!

ReplyDeleteHe has that look on his face in most pictures: Like he either has to go Number 2, or he can't stand who he is speaking to and just wants to get out of there.
ReplyDeleteMitch McConnell also looks constipated in his pictures.
DeletePerhaps a little Metamucil is in order, Mitch!
That's what he thinks a human smile is supposed to look like. He's really bad at it.
DeleteI'm happy to see so many comments on a non-Palin post. That's all.

DeleteWhat "Governor" Palin? That disgraceful unethical shrew broke the oath that she swore to the people of Alaska. Had she served out one term in office, she could style herself Governor for as long as she wanted to (though for one term, it would be pretty presumptuous). But not even serving out a whole term? Bullshit.

DeleteWho ARE these people?
He can try but the powers that be have already settled on RMoney as their 2016 candidate. Unless something happens between now and the GOP primary, Rmoney is it. They have no one else who is electable in the general election.
ReplyDeleteBut wait, Romney isn't electable either, so really, they have no one.
DeleteHow is he going to get around the whole born in Canada thing?
ReplyDeleteMany reasonable people believe that being "natural born" citizen means someone who is naturally a citizen from the moment of their birth, either through parentage (the US citizenship of a parent) or by place of birth (the US). No special act is required at a later date to bestow US citizenship on them.
DeleteI have no problem with Cruz being considered a natural born citizen if the US citizenship of his mother at the time of his birth is documented.
However, he has zero, zip, none, no other qualifications for the presidency at all and is totally unfit for the office.
Funny how the birthers don't apply that logic to President Obama though.
DeleteI hope the media jumps on the question of citizenship before the documents disappear. Just because his mother is a US citizen doesn't automatically give Ted citizenship. There are other factors involved such as how long she was living out of the country before he was born.
DeleteHis whole story sounds very fishy to me, since he doesn't seem to tell the same story. Just like the story of his father coming from Cuba.
He's not only born in Canada, which puts him out of contention for POTUS, but he's as creepy as anyone I've yet seen. Except for Ol' Skrawny, that is.
ReplyDeleteAnd if Kenya is not acceptable for a President, why is Canada OK?
And yes, Hawaii is acceptable, as is Panama, which is where Cranky McCain was born.
And just because Kenya is in Africa, it has (as yet) nothing to do with the Ebola crisis.
Maybe you should have tried a little edumacation with your homeschooling.
As with McCain, it doesn't matter WHERE he was born, as long as one of his parents was a U.S. citizen.
DeleteAs with President Obama, it doesn't matter WHERE he was born, as long as one of his parents was a U.S. citizen.
DeleteIf Cruz even comes close to being nominated, expect yowls and howls from the birthers. Cue the outrage! Oh wait.
He kind of gives me the heebie geebies. Every photo I see of him, he looks like a cross between Eddie Munster and the worst, ever, Liberace imitator. First question, where is your birth certificate?
ReplyDeleteSo far, it's a bad time to be a Republican. When the rest of them make Rand Paul palatable and they're actually re considering running Mitt Romney, again, you know they have lost all credibility.
Well. First he has to beat Romney's money. Then, maybe...
ReplyDeleteMoney schmoney. Offer up the TWIT as third party, she knows so damn much about how to run a country and foreign affairs. SNORT.
DeleteWe beat the money in '12, we will again, omamma.
If the morons who vote Republican manage to get the electoral college majority in 2016, no matter who's President, I think Ted Cruz would really rather fill a vacant spot on the Supreme Court.
ReplyDeleteI think that's why RWNJs are hoping Justice Ginsberg either retires or has a fatal relapse of her pancreatic cancer (me, I fantasize that Alito and/or Thomas chokes on a chicken bone).
Cruz was born in Canada. What are all the birthers going to do about that? Is it OK since he is GOP? I can't stand him either.
ReplyDelete"ISIS says they want to go back and reject modernity,"
ReplyDeleteSenator Canadian Cuban Cruz, Please explain how differs from the Republican platform?
PS We, the taxpayers are still waiting the refund of our money that you wasted with your little "shut down the government" temper tantrum.
