All you need to know about Ted Cruz was summed up in Iowa by his supporter Phil Robertson.

Courtesy of Think Progress:  

“Don’t you understand that when a fellow like me looks at the landscape and sees the depravity, the perversion — redefining marriage and telling us that marriage is not between a man and a woman? Come on Iowa! It’s nonsense. It is evil. It’s wicked,” Robertson told the crowd. 

“It’s sinful. They want us to swallow it, you say. We have to run this bunch out of Washington, D.C. We have to rid the earth of them. Get them out of there. Ted Cruz loves God.” 

When Cruz appeared on stage, he reflected praise back at Robertson. “What an extraordinary human being,” the candidate said, claiming that “God makes every one of us unique, but some are uniquer than others.” 

“What a voice Phil has to speak out for the love of Jesus,” Cruz added. “What a joyful, cheerful, unapologetic voice of truth Phil Robertson is.”

Oh yeah, he's "uniquer" alright. 

If "uniquer" is another word for intolerant bible thumping asshole that is.

Essentially this is how Cruz won Iowa. By surrounded himself with religious fanatics, homophobes, and anti-government anarchists who think that Cruz is going to single handedly destroy the government and introduce some kind of hyper Christian theocracy that will hand the country back to them on a silver platter.

The fact that it worked should send a chill down ALL of our spines.

    Wasn't paylynn supposed to help the donbald bring in these "believers?" You know, with the clingin' and all that sh&t. Is the donbald going to be questioning the value of the paylynn now? I guess he can try to use her again once they get to the south. I don't think she'll be much use in NH but we'll see if she shows her "face" there in support of the donbald.

      It's so funny to me that $arah is such a NON-blip on the radar that hardly anyone has talked about how $he lost Iowa for Trump.

      Hee hee :)

      And i'm pretty sure Rubio will not credit $arah for his surprise (even to him) showing.

      However, he SHOULD. The yahoos who could not stomach Cruz swung over to Rubio after $arah's blessed Trump debacle.

      Maybe $arah's money trail leads back to Rubio :)

    Yes, but the Republicans have a "deep bench" of candidates... May the best bigot win ... And then lose to Mrs. Clinton.

    It's probably just the lighting but it looks as if that idiot has blood on his fingers.

    Seems as if the fear mongers, like this Duck Dynasty phoney, only need to wave the Christian bible around for the gullible to swallow the garbage that Cruz and his ilk spew.

    It is sad and truly depressing to see the U.S. mired in this kind of political theatre.

  7. What is it with this guy and gay marriage? Purposefully misstating the supreme court ruling, also too.
    So....my gay friends' weddings somehow negate his marriage to that lady he admits he repeatedly screwed around on? And how old was she when he married her?
    How many dudes have you done, Phil? Anyone who has it so bad for hating on the gays MUST have some pretttty interesting skeletons in his closet.He lived thru the sixties, remember. Roooooooms full of under-the-influence young horny people all getting it on.

    Hey, Duck Dynasty guy, no one has said that marriage is between a man and a woman. All that has happened is that the definition has been extended to include relationships of the same sex. No heterosexual couple should be upset by this; it does nothing to nullify "traditional" marriage. It is simply an extension - to include more people, rather than exclude them. Get over it, Duck Dynasty guy.

      Maybe Phil is afraid some woman will come along and steal HIS woman? Would not be too hard to do, looking at him, he looks dirty. He could drive anyone to look elsewhere for companionship, someone who does not preach constantly and forget to bathe.

    Look at your last two GOP Iowa Caucus winners: Huckabee in 08' and Santorum in 12'. What do they all have in common? Whack job religious bonifides. Cruz just used the same playbook as the preceding two asshats. I don't recall either of them getting the nomination. Cruz is more dangerous, because he's a bigger asshole than the other two put together, but I don't see his Dominionist crap making it all the way to the White House.

      I agree. There are a rabid bunch of christianists in Iowa who are still butthurt that Iowa was an early state to legalize gay marriage. They get themselves all frothed up and frenzied about it when they know the media is watching but there aren't enough of them to keep it up for any length of time or to infect the other states with their idiocy. So they go back home and molest children and beat their wives till the next primary and caucus season.

      I think Cruz Sr. will be the one to put an end to his son's run. He is a rabid Dominionist and a self-styled preacher who has an ego as big as his son's and he won't be able to control the Dominionist crap coming out of his mouth. He's a truly scary individual.

      The IRS needs to investigate Cruz Sr.'s church. Has he EVER paid taxes? Scam artists seem to be drawn to religious organizations, then they insult the taxpayers by avoiding paying their share. Best bumper sticker I ever saw "Lord, please protect me from your followers"
