Oh, Ted.
So, Ted Cruz is refusing to endorse John Cornyn in the Republican primary in Texas.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Thursday refused to endorse his colleague John Cornyn, the senior senator from Texas, against primary challenger Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX).
Speaking at a Politico Playbook event in Washington, the conservative firebrand noted that incumbents carry great advantages over challengers, suggesting Cornyn didn’t need any help. Asked by Mike Allen again if he would vote for Cornyn, Cruz said the matter was “between me and the ballot box.”
Okay, so that leaves the batcrap crazy Steve Stockman, who would be the cream in Cruz’s coffee. The upside for Texas is that you could holler, “Hey, Idiot!” and both our senators would turn around.
Oh say Ted, still a Canadian citizen?
Isn’t it time for Loopy Louie to say something gohmert?
1I suspect that Teddy wants to be Texas’s senior Senator.
2Onion makes it YOU Nanimous-I don’t endorse Cornyn,either!
3Tedster, do you know all the words to “Oh, Canada”?
4If you say “hey, idiot” to Ted Cruz, he smiles and thanks you for the undeserved complement to his true intelligence level of 2 points below an armadillo.
5Let’s hope Cruz’ undermining of mainstream Repugs comes back to bite him in the asp, snake that he is.
6I think when our two current senators are in a room and you yell “Hey, Idiot” they both turn around. I think they are in a race to see which one can be the bigger idiot.
7You yell “Hey Idiot” in the Capitol Building, and it would be standing room only.
8That means two of your villages will be without idiots…well, Cornyn isn’t exactly Einstein so it will be nearly an even trade
9Let’s thin the Republican herd by sending them written instructions for breathing.
10In 1954, the chief counsel for the Army during the infamous Army-McCarthy hearings was a distinguished lawyer named Joseph Welch. And it was there that Joe McCarthy, demagogue senator from Wisconsin, finally met his match when Welch berated him for attempting an ambush character assassination of a young lawyer in Welch’s firm.

Admittedly changing the context of Welch’s angry denunciation of McCarthy’s smear tactics, Welch’s words apply perfectly to the likes of a modern-day demagogue, Ted Cruz:
“Until this moment, Senator, I think I have never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness … If it were in my power to forgive you for your reckless cruelty I would do so. I like to think I am a gentle man, but your forgiveness will have to come from someone other than me …
“You’ve done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency? …
“And if there is a God in Heaven it will do neither you nor your cause any good. I will not discuss it further …”
Is there a modern-day Joe Welch to call Ted Cruz to account for all the harm he has done to his country, its citizens and his fellow public officials and our institutions of government? Cruz and McCarthy – misfits who grew up never quite housebroken, who never learned not to shit in their own nests.
11Someday, this Canucklehead will completely and utterly lose it. As tightly wound as this guy is, it’s only a matter of time before he blows and the splatter effect is going to be SPECTACULAR. Little bits of Canadian bacon, Cuban pork and mustard EVERYWHERE.
And I want to see it.
I seriously considered adopting a healthier lifestyle to ensure I lived long enough to see it, but then I thought “Hey, this is Ted Cruz…
… how long could it take?”
So I put down the health club application and went out for a Cuban sandwich.
12Chip, I’ve loved Cuban sandwiches for years, but unfortunately your comparison to Cruz has ruined my appetite for them!
13Holy Gohmerts! When did Papa Cruz arrive and create his little gohmert?
Teddy, we need to talk. Where in the scheme of Marielitos is your family?
14Every media mention of Ted Cruz describes him as ‘”conservative firebrand” Ted Cruz’. Can we just agree it should be ‘”conservative oil slick” Ted Cruz’?
15all the comments were great. i love the GOP logo!!!
16Canucklehead! Thanks chipster.
17Apparently the Texas Tea Party has repudiated Steve Stockman as their candidate to oppose John Cornyn…

… in favor of someone named Dwayne Stovall (whose day job apparently used to be meter-reading for Citgo, and now builds Texas roads and bridges) https://votesmart.org/candidate/biography/138324/dwayne-stovall#.UxDa0PldWSo
