Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) declared that he will be running for president Sunday night on Twitter, so it’s only appropriate that the people of Twitter are now coming out in droves to help the first major candidate in the race write a slogan. Kind of.
Cruz noted in the video uploaded with his tweet, “I believe in America and her people, and I believe we can stand up and restore our promise.” Let’s just say, if the Twitter trending topic #TedCruzCampaignSlogans is an accurate metric, people are having a much more challenging time returning that same belief to the champion of local control.
Here are a few tweets "celebrating" Cruz's announcement:
Ted Cruz is the Abraham Lincoln of Sarah Palins. #TedCruzCampaignSlogans

For those with the stomach, and I have to admit I am not among them, here is video of Cruz's announcement today at Liberty University.By the way apparently attendance for this announcement was mandatory for the students, because you know announcing you want to be President to an empty auditorium is just awkward.
Mocked on Twitter, constantly compared to Sarah Palin, and having your audience threatened into listening to you. Yep the Cruz campaign is off to a rollicking start.
Update: Oh yeah people are really running with this:
Ted Cruz is only running so that Jeb will look more acceptable. It's a plan.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right. How about this: The crazy shit that Walker is doing makes it easier for other states to do some of teh same but in lower doses and people may think : "well, at least it's not as bad as WI."
DeleteVernD
C4P is going thru their quarterly meltdown over Sarah running or not because Cruz announced. Best infighting entertainment I've seen on that site in months.
DeleteIf it were any other red-nosed, floppy-shoed republican, I would consider that likely. But Cruz is such a megalomaniac I can't believe he would ever pave the way for someone else to get the crown.
DeleteGryph never used the term "fake-gestate" though, I bet'cha!

OMG! Palin should be put on his ticket in second position. The two of them would be a hoot to watch and, of course, we know they'd lose big time!
ReplyDeleteWhat jokes they both are to Americans!
Making your announcement in a place called Lynchburg is always a good idea.
ReplyDeleteMandatory attendance at a "Christian" college - only way he could get an audience large enough to impress the camera. How embarrassing..however, not enough to sense to understand.
Delete"Anonymous12:22 PM ...she doesn't look like that anymore!"

That's why they don't dare update it!
That above photo of Palin is an old one. They need to update it because she doesn't look like that anymore!
ReplyDeleteI have that same pink shirt, unfortunately. Its a Danskin second, sold at Walmart. For 4 bucks it is fine under a vest....but not if you are a maillionaire like Palin.l

ReplyDeleteTed Cruz's wife is taking an unpaid leave of absence as a managing director at Goldman Sachs
Heidi Cruz, a graduate of Harvard Business School, started at Goldman in October 2005. She was promoted to managing director in November 2012. She previously did a stint at Merrill Lynch. Before that, she worked in the George W. Bush Administration.
She's being furloughed during his campaign without pay or benefits. Teddy won't have that super health insurance now. He better sign up for Obamacare before he repeals it!
Delete>>>She's being furloughed during his campaign without pay or benefits. Teddy won't have that super health insurance now. <<<
DeleteBut that other liberal plot COBRA still allows them to pay out of pocket for the insurance doesn't it?
In that top photo, that was the rally that Sarah and Todd were seen running away from the Veterans who were yelling at her.
ReplyDeleteSarah was not welcome to that rally.
Ol' Grizzly Mama was a Cub running away from those Vets in fear.
DeleteYou lose with Cruz.
ReplyDeleteCruz -- a snooze.
Cruz -- does he booze?
Go to hell with Raphael.
Don't get in bed with Ted.
Better red than Ted.
No news with Cruz.
Etc. He's the first clown to run out to the center ring. More will follow.
I'd like to see some T-shirts with "You Cruz, you Lose!", and a picture of an old car going off a cliff...
DeleteGaaah--oh, barf--both of those idiots on one poster is almost too much for my gag reflex...
ReplyDeleteI agree, and did you notice she's in front?
Deletehmmm....maybe they think Cruz should be VP?
Could Cruz be any smarmier than the worst used car salesman you have ever seen?
ReplyDelete___ insert caustic, rude, insulting, denigrating, offensive, disrespectful snark here -------------
ReplyDeleteC'mon, people. This is going to be a LONG campaign. Under the FIFI (first in, first out) principle of political inventory management, Theodore "Beaver" Cruz is already on the crash-o-meter countdown clock ticking off the days until his inevitable and entertaining flameout.
Let's keep some rhetorical powder dry for the next lightweight conservative douchebag who looks in the mirror each morning and says "Hey, you handsome devil, YOU should run for president!"

Cruz is not physically attractive. He gives me the creeps! Slime type in appearance!
DeleteThe seedier they are, the better $arah like ''em!
DeletePresident Obama, born in Hawaii to an American mother from Nebraska or Kansas or some such state, raised by his American grandparents...is called a foreigner. Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban father and a mother with questionable citizenship, raised a Canadian citizen...and the Teahaddists don't even blink.
ReplyDeleteGolly gee whillikers, I wonder what on earth could possibly be the difference between the two?
Delete@ 1:09 PM..."raised a Canadian citizen"
Delete-----------------------------------------------------------
Afraid not. He left Canada with his parents when he was 4 years old. Nothing Canadian about this loser. His political life was entirely made in the U.S.
Well, now you are just rubbing our noses in it!
Delete2:29 PM
DeleteBut Cruz, Jr., didn't give up his Canadian citizenship until June, 2014. His dad came here (supposedly) in 1957 but didn't become a citizen until 2005 -- 48 years later.
The Pee People have fallen all over themselves insulting Cruz and speculating about when Sarah will announce that she is running for president. If someone expresses even the most remote doubt that maybe, perhaps, there is chance that Sarah might not run, they are beaten to a pulp and driven off the site.
ReplyDeleteMAN have they imploded!
DeleteTis a thing of beauty!
I wondered over to the pee pond once and I remember reading this post: "how will we feel on the day she announces? How will we feel on the day of the election? How will we feel on the day of her inauguration ?" I just about spewed! It was too funny and this wasn't that long ago!
Delete@3:16 What excuses will they offer when the deadline for filing for the primaries comes and goes and Sarah has not announced, again, for this election cycle? Too busy with Bristol's wedding? Won't work, she ran in 2008 with a 5 month old special needs child that she said she gave birth to. Even if she adopted him, caring for a 5 month old special needs child didn't bother Palin in 2008. Sarah's still waiting for God to to open that door a bit for her? How long can she keep on conning those people?
Delete3:25 I think she gave up on VP or P, but is hoping for a sweet appointment. .
Delete2:26 AM, she can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other!
DeleteHis campaign not too tech savvy: tedcruz.com page displays "support President Obama, Immigration reform now"

bwahahahaha
And wonkette reports that whoever put up the "donate" part of his website didn't make it secure, so donors' information can easily be hacked.
DeleteTed, for a brilliant guy like you, this has not been a stellar opening.
how funny! they show her marionette mouth. his felt tip pen eyebrows. LOSERS!
ReplyDeleteYou got me laffin'!
DeleteShe's a dick and he's a boob with aforementioned facial stuff goin' on.
(dropping "g's" so Sarah can read.)
Thanks.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Calgary) didn't give up his Canadian citizenship until a few years ago, and his wacko father didn't become a U.S. citizen until 2005.
ReplyDeleteHis parents are divorced, but there's not a word about his American-born mother.
Meanwhile, John McCain's mother is going strong at 103.
Ted Cruz didn't renounce his Canadian citizenship until June 2014!
Deleteoh is that right...john boys mamma still kickin? or did he yell her into silence...
Deletewhen did he denounce his Cuban citizenship?
DeleteWell The Republicans think he is a big mouth who is getting in the way of the serious issues that face America...ouch...
ReplyDeleteAw...Sarah focked up tweeking out on her laptop and released the 100 soldiers she has brainwashed ISIS into killing...go girl...how AmeriKKKan of you...
ReplyDeleteCommenters may get down on you for these posts but I totally believe it. That family is as DIRTY. as they come.
DeleteTed Cruz is only 44? I never would have guessed. He looks a lot older.
ReplyDeleteTed Cruz might have forgotten about the gossipy app Yik Yak when he decided to announce at a college

DeleteI don't see the Canadian Ted Cruz getting the nomination. But I do find it amusing that folks have Sarah again in the #2 spot.
ReplyDeleteno one else wants to run with him?
DeleteWell, 'number 2' is fitting for her, don't you think?
DeleteOh Caroll, when he dropped by her house, this is calculated. Every last bit and she's quiet for a reason....if they're a ticket thinking they will win, I will lmao.
DeleteWhy does Cruz always look like he's about to start crying?
ReplyDeleteI wounder if Cruzzy still creeps around in his paisley bathrobe. He freaks me out. I can imagine him having clammy soft hands that would feel like lizard skin.
ReplyDeleteThe baggers over at breitfart are just gushing. The claim he was never a Canadian citizen. One thing for sure he has the stupid bagger vote in the bag.
Great article...

DeleteHe calls her '...shady and corrupt'!
So this is going to be interesting. The Repubs have a candidate (not that he has the nomination yet) that was not born in the US, so how are they going to reconcile with the fact that so many of them howled like banshees over the phony 'birther' movement and jumped on board that crazy train??? But but but but....how they will talk around that little nugget will be highly entertaining!
ReplyDeleteThe 2016 Republican Circus Begins As Donald Trump Goes Birther On Ted Cruz
DeleteDonald Trump responded to Sen. Ted Cruz jumping in the contest for the 2016 Republican nomination by questioning Cruz’s eligibility to be president.
When asked by My Fox New York about Cruz’s birth certificate, Trump said, “It’s a hurdle; somebody could certainly look at it very seriously. He was born in Canada. If you know and when we all studied our history lessons, you are supposed to be born in this country, so I just don’t know how the courts will rule on this.”
Being that Cruz is a Republican, Trump didn’t demand that the Texas Republican provide the original copy of his birth certificate, but Trump couldn’t resist going birther. Legal scholars agree that because Cruz’s mother was a natural born U.S. citizen and his father was a U.S. resident, Cruz qualifies as a natural born citizen and is eligible to run for president.
Some on the left who remain angry about the birtherism that Republicans spread about President Obama may want to treat Cruz the same way, but why should anyone on the left lower themselves when Donald Trump will do it for them?
The Republican 2016 circus is off and running. The clown car is being loaded up, and Donald Trump just blasted Ted Cruz in the face with some birther seltzer water.

I wish the media would point out that Rafaele and Sarah were pallin' around with the Oath Keepers, a known American terrorist group when that photo was taken. What are his ties to this group?
ReplyDeleteApart from all the fun we will have comparing him to Sarah, this guy is dangerous, he managed to shut down the government,costing us taxpayers billions, on a whim, as a junior senator, image the damage he will do as president.
Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz Forgot to Procure TedCruz.com L.O.L.
ReplyDeleteApparently in the last 20 years it never crossed delusional Oval Office coveter / genius extraordinaire Senator Ted Cruz's mind that maybe—just maybe—Tedcruz.com might come in handy someday.
Hysterically, someone else did. Though I wouldn't blame them for selling, here's hoping the current owner of Tedcruz.com maintains ownership and puts the website to good use. Whoever it is is off to a good start already. May the hilarity ensue.
TParrish posed an interesting question down thread:
"What domain should Ted Cruz register instead?
TedCruzLedTheShutdown.com
24BillionDollarsGone.com
TheAudacityofDope.com"
Ideas?

"After announcing her engagement to Meyer earlier this month, and putting her Alaskan bachelorette pad on the market, Palin is preparing to move to Meyer’s home state of Kentucky, the source said. And she needed to adjust her custody arrangements accordingly.
“Bristol agreed to some sort of schedule for separated parents who live far apart, like a couple weeks in the summer, holidays and spring break,” the insider said."
