Ted! Obama is Not Running.
I have figured out why Ted Cruz is so low in the polls. I mean, other than the fact that he’s a sanctimonious jerk who ain’t as smart as he thinks he is and he grates on people’s nerves when he speak.
I think the real problem is that he thinks it’s 2012 and Obama is running for President.
It has gotten this ridiculous: Asked about Ben Carson’s view that Muslims can’t be President, Cruz blamed it on Obama.
Yeah, I’m serious.
“I like Ben Carson. I think Ben is fantastic. I think a lot of people are just using this as an opportunity to smack him with a stick. My view is straightforward,” Cruz said. “The Constitution says there shall be no religious test for holding public office, and I’m a constitutionalist, but I think this whole noise is obscuring the broader question.”
“The broader question, and what I think Ben was trying to get at, is what are the consequences been in the last six and a half years of the Obama presidency?” Cruz stated.
What?
Good Lord, I’ve seen a dog with a clothes pen on its tail not spin that much.
President Obama did not force Ben Carson to spread the Constitution. I’m pretty sure of that.
I personally think that Cruz is in for the long haul. All he wants to do in life is give speeches and if he leaves the campaign trail, he’s reduced to speaking to an empty senate chamber.
I bet POTUS Obama sits in the White House and laughs.
And laughs.
Who said Ted Cruz was smart. He doesn’t know what to do. He’s not a leader, he just reacts and not in a very smart way.
1I think daddy is the smart one and he has been propping his little boy up for the glory of God.
When Ted dies they won’t have to bury him. They can just screw him into the ground–he’s that twisty.
2“what are the consequences been?” Really? I thought that at one time this man was seen as smart? To me, is an arrogant ass who would just as soon we all bend down and kiss his patent leather and then praise God for the opportunity as look us in the eye and admit he’s scum. Teddy boy, you will not be the GOP nominee. Once this anti-Muslim stuff blows over, people will be looking at your Daddy and his dream to turn the USA in CruzLand. The pain then will be awesome to observe.
3Bernie Sanders – Wendy Davis 2016!
That’s it, that’s all folks. Done, I tell you done, with wasting anymore of my time on any of the Republicon candidates and any of the lunacy dripping from their mouths. Parsing their st00pid gives me a headache.
4If there is a God in heaven at all, Cruz won’t be in the Senate chamber past the next election. And if God is really almighty, then he can just whisk that offensive Cruz thing far away from here, like, now. It’s an embarrassment to live in Texas and have to acknowledge that he’s a senator from Texas.
5Comment in the Guardian, a lefty British newspaper:
This whole Republican race looks increasingly like the US playing a dark and elaborate practical joke on the rest of the world. Any moment now Americans everywhere are going to turn around and say “Aaaaaaaagh… Had you going there!”
That’s right, isn’t it, guys?
Guys?
6Saw the cruzer on Colbert’s show last night and was surprised that he gave some pretty coherent–almost clever–answers. But when the question of marriage equality came up, he gave his standard no-ruling-from-the-bench answer.
When Colbert said the Constitution doesn’t say anything about marriage–at all–cruzer said that’s why it’s a state’s rights issue. Unfortunately, the segment ended on that; I’d have loved for Colbert to remind him that equal treatment *is* in the Constitution, and that’s why the xtians lost that one.
7djw – I flipped the channel, when Colbert admonished his audience for booing, because Cruz was a guest. Good manners true, but a couple of minutes of reality for Daffy the Dominionist would have been nice, too. As with the person who clapped, when Snotty Wanker made his withdrawal announcement. There’s something to be said for spontaneous honesty.
I don’t advocate violence, but a solid gohmert punch to every Republicon should be the new thing in art, “expressionism.”
8I know a guy like that in San Antonio. He’s a security guard and he loves to run for office. It doesn’t much matter what office or which party they’re with. He just loves running for office.
9Be careful what you ask for Texas. If Rafael isn’t in the senate where he can screw things up, he might come home to roost and really screw up things in Texas.

12Nope. They’ll give him an enema and bury him in a matchbox.
Crazy Cruz wouldn’t answer Colbert’s question about Reagan’s tax increase and path to citizenship at first, but he kept at it and finally got him to de-sanctify St. Ronny. But he would not state that compromise with “the other side” is a necessary component of effective politics. I was glad to hear the boos and wished Colbert had acknowledged that there are many Americans who disagree with his opinions. Cruz may have walked off, but who cares.
13Obama attends services at a Christian Church. Therefore he’s a Muslim.
Ted Cruz was born in Canada, so he must be an American.
Same principal at work?
14Him luvs him own voice so much, kinda like a Capitol Hill Richard Burton.
15Ah, but Burton had a rich, mellifluous voice, worthy of Shakespeare and Dylan Thomas.
Cruz’es voice is like a couple of rusty handsaws, clanging together in a high wind. Don’t even get me started on the content.
16Content!!! There’s content in Carnival Cruz’s utterances? Dang!! Who knew.
17I’m pretty sure that Obama has a better chance of winning the 2016 Presidential election than Ted Cruz does.
18So according to Ted Cruz, Carson talking about Muslims is Obama’s fault.
Conservs love to talk about personal responsibility, but it’s amazing how everything is always someone else’s fault.
19Ted was giving a dog whistle. He refers to the “consequences been in the last six and a half years of the Obama presidency” he’s referring to the belief we’ve had a muslim president, Obama.
20The wingnuts heard what he meant.
Okay. I’m done with Ted. The next time I see his picture, please God, let it be at the top of an obituary. Thank you.
21I think crooz is headed for a sewer chamber, where there is no difference between his politics and … !
I think JAK Virginia has the winningest one liner of the day.
22PKM: Wendy Davis! Never thought of that! Cool!
23There’s also Heidi Huelskamp up there in North Dakota .. ya sure, give them something to think about!
