Doubling Down on Dirty Down
Ted Cruz ain’t finished talking yet.
And, that’s the good news.
It seems to have gotten real personal with President Barack Obama. Cruz just doesn’t like him none at all.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has told a conservative conference that President Barack Obama is lawless, providing the right wing rhetoric that makes him so popular in his home state.
The conservative Republican laid out his reasoning for why he thinks the president is “dangerous and terrifying.”
According to the Statesman, Cruz also slammed Obama for what he referred to as a pattern of “lawlessness on a breathtaking scale.”
The only dam thing he didn’t accuse President Obama of is body odor. But, I think that’s coming next.
Let me help translate Cruz’s words into Texan for you.
Dangerous means “he’s black.”
Terrifying means “he’s black and smart. And might own more guns than you.”
Lawless means “he’s still black.”
Breathtaking means “real back, real smart, and he might want your job.”
Thanks to Irene for the first heads up.
Ya know, it would be worth the price of admission to see the Cruz-er and Chris Christie locked in the same windowless room and “debate” each other. My guess is that neither of them would emerge alive.

2Ted Cruz can boast, that due to a large measure, he is personally responsible for “The Republican Party has recorded the lowest favorability rating for a political party ever measured by Gallup.”
“Keep on truckin” Teddy!
3Yeah, President Obama is violating the law stating that only a Republican can legally be elected to the office of President of the United States (or any other office). This is a well-known law to all right wingnuts.
4Ted, Obama already had your job, and he doesn’t want it back.
5He sure feels free to spout nonsense in the protected environment of those conservative “conferences.” Double dog dare Ted to debate Maria Shriver on economic policy.
It’s the 21st Century, Ted, when real men listen to what women have to say without fear. Man up and listen, buddy.
6RepubAnon, have long had the notion that the Repub Party was actually an anointed monarchist group that looked upon the rest of the world as their serfs. I recall them frothing at the mouth when Clinton got elected and voicing just that sort of sentiment, that GHW Bush lost due to a lack of “governance” and that Democrats were unfit from birth to wear the crown. Hadn’t run into that sort of mindset since I studied the French Revolution in college!
7The problem is…
Every time I read something like this, I try to respond, at least mentally. The problem is that eventually I’ve ended up speechless.
How do you do it? How do you keep the crazy from shutting you down?
Well, at least closer to home (Yankeeland), we’ve finally breached the use of the “I” word for a Republican executive. That should help, but really…Patriots win on the run! There, all better
8As far as I can see, the politician who most demonstrated “lawlessness on a breathtaking scale” was the jacka** mastermind of the government shutdown which cost billions to our economy. That would be you, Cruz.
9Meanwhile, I received this email from him recently in response to an email I had sent in July 2013! He doesn’t even know what the issue was….

Dear ……..
Thank you very much for contacting my office earlier this past year. And what a tremendously busy year it was – one in which we addressed numerous issues important to Texas and our nation. In addition, we spent substantial time and effort setting up our new Senate offices in Washington and throughout the state.
While I wasn’t able to respond at the time of your initial contact, I’m writing now to convey how much I appreciate your correspondence and to let you know my staff has reviewed each and every letter we have been sent. We received well over one million pieces of mail this year, which led to delayed responses as we set up our offices and mail system.
Thank you for sharing your views with me. Please feel free to contact me in the future about any issue important to your family. It is an honor to serve you and the people of Texas.
For liberty,

I recall the time I kept wearing CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT pin where I worked, despite all the gasps from passersby. I finally told one of them, “I’m not really a Democrat. I’m really a Druid and I’m trying to start a Druids for Jesus chapter on campus.” Maybe Cruz is really a Druid. Or something. I should give him a call, tell him that Druids paint themselves blue. Or maybe it’s nekkid from the cold blue. Or maybe they’re really Democrats. Well, that lets Cruz out.
11If we’re going to lock Cruz-er and Chris Christie in anything, let’s make it a box (a really big box for Christie) and then play Schrodinger’s on them. We can speculate on whether one will kill the other and then open the box to check in, say, 2017.
12Ted “someone with your qualifications would have no trouble finding a top-flight job in either the food service or housekeeping industries.”
13“a conservative alternative that would expand health coverage.” Nuts like Cruz keep saying that, but have no alternative at all. It’s always just the same old hateful hot air that gushes out every time he opens his mouth.
14Papers, Ted? And, I don’t mean the ones your momma potty trained you on.
Seriously, little trooper, ya might want to lay off the impeachment gohmertzola, until like maybe you are a citizen.
15Yeah, we already know about the conservative alternative to the ACA: have the money to pay for your care or die.
