You Got A License, Son?
Ted Cruz is not fond of background checks for toting firearms around. In fact, he works hard against them.
Unless……
…. you have a gun near him.
It’s a No-Shoot Sweepstakes unless you’re willing to undergo a background check. Read the rules.
Promotion Rules. One (1) potential winner will be selected by a random drawing from all eligible entries to be held at the Cruz for President headquarters on Thursday, June 11, 2015. Sponsor may, at its option, conduct a background check on each potential winner. Sponsor reserves the right to disqualify any potential winner from receiving the Prize based on such background check if Sponsor determines, in its sole discretion that awarding the Prize to such potential winner could result in a safety or security risk to any person or persons or could result in the disruption of any event associated with the Promotion. Sponsor will, in its sole discretion, then select one (1) winner from the list of eligible potential winners on the basis of criteria determined and applied by Sponsor to provide for an appropriate range of views, backgrounds, and interests among the winners selected.
So you have to have “appropriate” views, background, and interest.
Here’s my question: Why don’t those same rules apply to Ted Cruz? There is not one damn thing about Ted Cruz that is appropriate.
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
I saw a photo of ol’ Raphael on the INternet, with a double barrel over his shoulder, orange hunting vest and orange hunting cap on. I swear I could hear Mel Blanc in the background talking about a wascally wabbit. Ted Cruz was/is channeling Elmer Fudd.
1At last, the picture of Chris Christie in Baseball gear is not the first thing I see when I pull up this website.
2@Carol May have the beginning of a good idea here. Maybe in the “click the little one to get the big one” process, the little one could be an inoffensive picture of kittens. That way horrible pictures of GOP clown car occupants wont be defiling patrons’ eyesight unless they choose by clicking.
3So, Daffy Raffie, is Dick Cheney excluded or is he not?
In the alternate universe of IOKIYAR, Dick should be good to go. Amirite?
4Classic do as I say not as I do. He knows his followers are certifiably crazy so he and his handlers are in fear of them.
5“Appropriate range of views” such as being willing not to shoot Cruz? Certainly disqualifies me.
Amen to Carol and Micr. Please give us a choice in viewing these horrors, like the “Photo is graphic; click to see it anyway” warnings. Possibly with a “Told you” on the result.
6This is just so typical of the hypocrites! Somebody please take those listed requirements for the shoot and stuff them down the Tedster’s lying throat. That’s all they are good for.
7Well, I have never fired a gun, but I can fantasize that if I held a loaded gun and Ted Cruz was nearby, I might just give it a try. It would be sad to make a martyr of him, though. Maybe just scare him so badly, he would do something soooooooooo embarrassing.
8Rafael “I’ll be wearing Kevlar” Cruz. Just a small “hunting accident” would be so great. For example, an errant bullet that
9struck him in his “intelligence” would likely count as insignificant.
Hypocrites is right! They reserve the right to be safe around gun toters by checking them out, but we’re out of luck?
10Is it wrong to hope for a terrible accident?
Why rules? None for others….
11Perhaps a wingnut might want to wing a nut … not saying which nut nor where that nut might be located!! Just sayin’!
12@Markist: Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. A “nice” dove hunt that includes Raffy and Darth next fall? Works for me! ;-}
13A Fath in northern MN killed his 4 years old son last night. Dad was “cleaning” his gun, or showing junior his cowboy western quick draw. I really hate people who do those murderously stupid things.
14Oh Debbo. That is tragic.
