Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's first shot at his expected Democratic challenger, Rep. Beto O'Rourke? Mocking his name.
As Tuesday's primaries were closing, Cruz's campaign released a 60-second radio ad that was a country music jingle prodding O'Rourke for going by "Beto" rather than "Robert."
"Liberal Robert wanted to fit in, so he changed his name to Beto and hid it with a grin," the song says.
O'Rourke said he's gone by "Beto" since he was born.
"My parents have called me Beto from day one, and it's just -- it's kind of a nickname for Robert in El Paso. It just stuck," he said in a brief phone interview Tuesday night.
And here's proof.
By the way, Ted Cruz's real name is Rafael Cruz.lol Ted Cruz pic.twitter.com/kr3be1Cv5C— southpaw (@nycsouthpaw) March 7, 2018
He adopted the name "Ted" to "fit in."
But hey, catchy tune. That should really help in the general election.
GD, I love it when hypocrisy runs amok. Again.
ReplyDeleteGeorgiaPeach
If Cruz is gonna pull this hypocrisy, shouldn't that headline read "Canadian-born Rafael Cruz..."
ReplyDeleteBeto wins the kid cut contest hands down. While Tedfael /tedfail/ looks creppy even as an 8 year old: https://nomadicpolitics.blogspot.com/2016/01/conservative-family-values-and-reality.html
ReplyDeleteIf that's all Rafael can come up with, then Ted's toast.
ReplyDeleteWay OT but look at Dakotas newest Instagram story. I think Bristol is feeling Karma in a big way!
ReplyDeleteDakota's a lazy ass just like Bristol feeding the girls McDonalds shit.
DeleteAlthough I understand why, given what Alaskans have gone through, enough of anything Palin. For not being relevant, they’re front and center here! They’re nothing,
DeleteThis is my go-to source for Palin comeuppance news. Maybe we could have one open thread per week to post current observations. If any other site is doing this, I would go there.
Deletewhy don't you provide a link if it is so important, we don't want to waste our time searching for it.
DeleteI don't follow either Bristol or Dakota on Instagram..for obvious reasons.
DeleteWhat is the story?
On Instagram, the profile pic will have a highlight when there is a story, or short video. These are temporary. Dakota's is probably over now. He posted too much of his own face babbling about some other guy and then more babbling about nothing. The final 15 seconds showed both girl children firmly planted in high chairs. The newest one gargling on a French Fry. McDonald's cardboard and greasy trash littered the filthy kitchen counter and floor as Dakota crowed.
DeleteNot surprised considering those two combined,have the IQ of a dust mite.
DeleteHow difficult is it to bake a chicken,or cut up some veggies,or put together a fruit salad?
It's not like either one of them are so busy working an actual job. Dakota flaps his jaws and Bristol takes pictures of herself...they're both ridiculous.
Where is Tripp in all of this? He's been calling Dakota Dad for over 2 of his 9 years and all of a sudden the new trial daddy only has time for the younger kids? Seriously, the dim duo can't see the problem? This is how to create another Track
DeleteNeither care. Bristol is a selfish, immature b****. Has she ever put Tripp's needs ahead of her own? She basically told the world that he was conceived from rape,in her stupid book.
DeleteAs far as Dakota goes, well, he's not very smart. He ruined all credibility as a decent man when he married Bristol Palin. Tripp doesn't stand a chance with that one either...however, does anyone actually think that Bristol would let Dakota spend time with him when she fights his own father tooth and nail over visitation rights?
Besides,someone has to stay home and take all those pictures of her drinking her tea and showing off that weird thigh gap she's got going on.
I hope Levi and Sunny are doing everything in their power to keep Tripp from turning out like his Uncle Track.
Robert would be wise to bring that up, and hopefully his advisors will encourage him to do so. Hey, if there's no decorum in the White House anymore from our "leader," why pussyfoot?
ReplyDeleteI'll say one thing, located in the Pacific Northwest, Mr. O'Rourke looks one hell of a lot more sane than Ted Cruz. Swear to God, Cruz is the yikes of kids' nightmares that's hiding under the bed when they're trying to sleep.
He's quite progressive and has held town halls all over the state, many in small communities, well over 90 of them and it may now actually be over 100.
DeleteYucko. That's a shudder inducing, and it's awful enough to win an award, worthy song. If I had a dog, I think s/he would sing along with the song. Not a happy sound sing along by the dog either to the song. Lol.
ReplyDeleteBeto's breathing down your neck, *Rafael*...

And of course Ted's campaign people did all the right things to get permission to turn a good song into a sad parody>
ReplyDeleteLooks like Donald Trump flat out stole the $130,000 from his campaign and from Michael Cohen

Ted Cruz should really have been separated early on as a non-breeder. I mean, pity the woman stupid enough to breed with him, but that's just a menace to society and we shouldn't have to live with the result of his lust and her ignorance.
ReplyDeleteI don’t think Beto is one to pull any punches or be too polite/weak. He’ll be courteous but he’ll also call out RAFAEL and also remind people that Cruz was born in CANADA, eh.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I think BETO should make a responding commercial calling out Rafael for changing his name to fit in and the soundtrack should be “Oh, Canada.”
Apparently, it’s okay to be born in another country as long as you are white, the country is mostly white, and you are an utter hypocrite.
DeleteBut if your father is born in Kenya, you’re half black, and your name is “Barack Obama” you’re going to have to put up with bullshit for years.
Rafael isn't that white from what I can see.
DeleteBeto is whiter than Rafael, plus he is a LOT better looking. Scoff if you like, but it isn't unusual for the winning candidate to be taller, or better looking, or younger. Shallow stuff does influence voters.
DeleteHey, Raphael, when next you see your "president," why not call him David Daniellson, or whatever his latest pseudonym is.
ReplyDeleteThen try making fun of Barack Hussein Obama, a name our duly elected President proudly carried throughout his life without ever changing it or needing to change it for illegal purposes.
Isnt "Ted" French for "Micropenis"?
ReplyDeleteName calling. A Trump trademark.
ReplyDeleteI broke down and listened to it.
ReplyDeleteAlready a response is going through my head. Exact same song but the words different. I'll have to transcribe the verse but the chorus is already there.
If you're gonna run in Texas, you can't be Canadian.
Oh, Cruz is gonna rue the day.
I'll bet there are response parodies attacking Cruz already up on YouTube.
Can't wait to see the lyin' Ted ads.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Here's what I got.
ReplyDeleteIf you’re gonna run in Texas,
you can’t be Canadian.
‘Cause Texans like to vote for
a native Lone Star Man.
You want to stand for Texas,
you need some loyalty.
To represent all people,
not just the Tea Party.
If I recall correctly
Rafael was born up north
in Canada, our neighbor,
then immigrated south
He had some great ambition,
but knew his name would choke.
So Edward became Teddy
To get the racist vote.
If you’re gonna run in Texas,
you can’t be Canadian.
Too much?
Stephen Colbert FECKEN ROCKS!!! (So does Beto)
ReplyDelete"...also Ted Cruz sucks...":

My hero.
DeletePlus anyone that gets Devin Nunes' goat should get a medal.
How typically GOP-ish of Ted Cruz to mock someone else for what he's done himself.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
By the way, Ted is Canadian :)
ReplyDeleteIf you want to run in Texas you can't have the voice of a soprano and be a man.

ReplyDelete"The Uranium One sale was unanimously approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), which comprises representatives of nine U.S. government agencies. When the issue was voted on, the State Department was represented not by Clinton, but by a lower-level official.
Five committees in the U.S. House and Senate previously looked into the issue and found no evidence that Clinton was behind CFIUS’ approval of the deal, according to congressional records."
