We have this guy in Texas running as a Republican for the United States named Ted Cruz.

He’s nuts.  Literally.  While he calls himself a Tea Party person and loves all over Sarah Palin, he is bought and paid for by the Koch brothers and big business.  As Wayne Slater at the Dallas Morning News said …

So, the thwack of tea party power might seem like rage against the machine, but its funding has the weathered, wood-paneled feel of a board room.

Two PACs affiliated with Bush adviser Karl Rove have been active rallying conservative voters to the cause of lower taxes and less regulation. In the Texas Senate race, the Koch-affiliated Club for Growth and FreedomWorks raised millions from the titans of industry, investment, manufacturing and finance.

He’s a complete tool.  We might as well call him screwdriver because he is.

And he’s also unbalanced.

“I am perfectly happy to compromise and work with anybody,” Cruz said. “Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians. I’ll work with Martians. If — and the if is critical — they’re willing to cut spending and reduce the debt.”

Remember when George Dubya wanted to go to Mars?  Well, apparently Ted Cruz remembers , too.

Thanks to David and Gene for the heads-up.
