I Don’t Think That Killing Me Is The Respectful Thing To Do, Senator
Okay, so here’s the deal.
A woman walks to to Ted Cruz in a public place and asks him a pertinent question. And all manner of nastiness breaks loose.
It went like this:
TEXAN: I just want to read what I want to ask. I’m a woman over 50, who has seven active pre-existing conditions. I’m not counting being female, and a survivor of abuse. I purchase my individual policy on the Health Insurance Exchange. If you force me into a high-risk pool, you will either bankrupt me or kill me. I take your threats of medical aggression personally and seriously; and I can assure you, I’m not the only Texan who does. My question is: Will you pledge to submit to a DNA test, to prove that you’re human?
TED CRUZ: Well, Ma’am, thank you for that. One of the great things about our democratic system is that we can treat each other with respect and civility.
TEXAN: Is that a yes or a no?
TED CRUZ: Ma’am, if you want to engage in insults, that’s your prerogative but I’m not going to reciprocate.
TEXAN: It’s a yes-or-no question.
TED CRUZ: Thank you for being here, Ma’am.
TEXAN: It’s a yes-or-no question.
TED CRUZ: Thank you for being here.
How civil and respectful is it to sentence someone to death?
For you people from foreign states: Ted Cruz’s species of origin has become a major topic in Texas which includes, of course, teeshirts with “Is Ted Cruz Human?” printed on them. Several writers have tried their damnest to prove it one way or another. And there’s this.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
I had heard all my life that Canadians were pretty cool, calm, hospitable people. I heard the same said of Cubans. WTF is wrong with Canadian-Cuban Senator Rafael Edward Cruz? Are Texas-raised snacilbupeR just a$$holes?
1Go Beto Go!
2in fairness, any sentient being, from any part of the universe, should hate Sen. Cruz. he’s about as loathsome a sentient being as there is, human or otherwise.
3Ahem!!!! As for Canadian civility, try not to go overboard. Have you all ever heard of hockey? Or seen a Canadian team hard at work on the ice? Ice is cold, y’all. Damn cold! As for the Croozer, he just doesn’t give a damn at all about anything! Its impossible to expect much at all of him. One little itty bitty here: there is an elderly man in my neighborhood who has any number of pre-existing conditions and he is not a vet. His back up insurance for his Medicare has gotten out of hand and he had to start a go-fund-me to avoid what this poor woman is facing. ‘Course, the Croozer can’t see or hear any of these people. Or feel for them.
4Why in the name of flea bitten syphilitic camels did Lindsey Graham apologize to Teddie Crooze? “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you,” said Graham. That’s possibly the most honest thing he ever said.
5When I was a kid growing up in the late ’50’s and early ’60’s, the local TV station would show crappy sci-fi and monster movies at 10:30 every Friday night. Mothra, Plan 9, Wasp Woman, etc.
“Ted Cruz, United States Senator” would have fit right in the lineup:
An alien from Outer Space gets elected to the US Senate. He destroys the nation and kills it’s inhabitants by denying them health care. He would quote Bible verses to placate the citizens as the human race slowly disappeared one medical complication at a time, making way for THE CRUZ, from Alpha Centauri, a lying, murderous race of beings intent on conquering the galaxy, by any means necessary.
I wouldn’t have slept that night. It would have seemed all too real, right after the Red Scare & Joe McCarthy.
6Cruz Refuses to Acknowledge Humanity.
Details at 6:00
7I still think Dick Cheney is the most likely to rip off the human costume, like a Doctor Who creature, and reveal the alien underneath that’s plotted world dominion, but what they hey, Ted Cruz could be another one. These things usually travel in packs because it takes more than one to operate their ships.

8Me, I’m not a hater. With me, it’s important to keep Teddy Boy around, only as a punching bag, mind, until he gets tossed back to Canada for life. Without him, I’d have no one to really dispise.
However, if the little baby Jeebus took him to his bosum, well, that’s okay too, don’t ya know?
9Had she not included the last sentence of her question, she would not have gotten that response from him and could have REALLY held his feet to the fire. It changed a totally legitimate question to a bit of smarta$$ery.
10You could ask the same question about Gohmert, Wisconsin Johnson, Steve King and scores of others. And no other species has claimed him (them). Anyway, show me the place where the Constitution says you have to be human to be in Congress.
11Or president.
Goosestepping Ted Cruz peeped up in response to the Pruitt theatrics: “This is compelling. Why do Obama and his media cronies want so badly to drive Pruitt out of office? Donald Trump is too cagey to be duped and bullied by the Obama groupies.”
“Three House Republicans — Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Carlos Curbelo, Elise Stefanik — called on Scott Pruitt to resign.”
Pruitt is yet another General Flynn scenario…..the fact that he’s despicable and vile makes Pruitt all the more endearing. Pompeo in the CIA, Pruitt in DOJ and Bolton as national security adviser = cabinet members more than happy to green light Trump’s nuclear war fantasies.
Anyone else notice how the GOP has lost their ability to pretend they and only they adhere to and have devotion for the rule of law?
12Oozy Croozy. I just like to write that because the mental image is so repulsive. Bwahahahahahahaha!!!!!
