Thank You, Gordon
I got an email from a reader named Gordon that asked, “Can you get a straight answer….Does Ted Cruz have a family dog?”
Well, I called my top-notch research team at Google, and stumbled upon this little tidbit. Go to #6.
Thing one: The puppy is named Snowflake. Seriously.
Thing two: Does anybody else think it’s weird that Jesus is just like Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy at the Cruz household? Yes, Jesus died for your canine needs. Look, if you’re going to pray for something, pray these kids get some decent damn parents.
Thing three: He posts his daughters prayers on Facebook just do he can look good?I not even think that Trump would do that.
So, no, Gordon, I wasn’t able to get a straight answer.
Thanks to Gordon for the question.
Well, I don’t like to say anything bad about the young children of political candidates, as they didn’t ask for trouble. So I’ll just say that photo of Cruz’s daughter with her dog looks like the first normal, human aspect of anything I’ve ever seen associated with Ted.
I too have a prayer for Jesus. Please Lord Above, do not let Ted ruin that little girl by forcing her to listen to 10 hour readings of Green Eggs and Ham, or cutting off her dinner or health care if she doesn’t bring home what he considers high enough grades in school.
1At least it’s a “rescue puppy,” which I hope means they went to the shelter and adopted. Everybody should do that, though I make exceptions for people like the Obamas who have kids with allergies and specific needs.
2The only reason Trump wouldn’t do that is the fact that he doesn’t pray — except to hisownself as the giver of all things. All things decadent and disgusting, at least.
3tRump won’t have a dog, he is quoted as saying dogs are disgusting. That’s OK, because dogs think he is disgusting, too.
4The fact the orange slug has no pet nor drinks is one (as if there was only ONE) reason my husband doesn’t trust the orange slug!!!
5Little Snowflake probably doesn’t want to kiss him either.
6I’ve often wondered if drumpf is afraid of cats. You know, like Hitler and Mussolini.
7As detesTed as Rafael Cruz is to me, I simply cannot post about his children, G-d help them.
8Myrna, Donnie hates cats because they do what they damn well please and he can’t boss them around.
9Rhea its a known fact dogs have owners and cats have staff.
10That was a warm and fuzzy attempt by Ted. I would bet that his base ate it up like cotton candy. Whereas I am glad that his children now have a friend, have to wonder how well Snowflake gets along with Daddy. And no, I wouldn’t post “my children’s prayers” anywhere! I would love them too much to do that!
11Please get your research team on this one: wasn’t there a political candidate who “adopted” an animal – for publicity purposes I guess – but then returned it once the campaign was over. Perhaps it was Snowflake.
12I answered my own question: it was Prick Scott. Lucky dog to escape being in THAT home.
13Dogs, like children, are nature’s gift to humankind. Trotting out both to try to enhance his political career is unforgivable, but Cruz’ list of unforgivables is already long and shameful.
14Doubt it was a ‘rescue’. (I did dog rescue for a couple of decades.) 1) it looks like one of those poodle/maltese or cocker mixes that people pay backyard breeders big bucks for, and 2) most rescues are adult dogs, not puppies.
But I agree with all the above comments about dogs, cats, and kids (having all 3). The only one of those that belong in political posts / ads are the candidate and his/her dog…preferably yellow (the dog, that is).
15She needs a puppy to have something with affection in her life. Those eyes of his. The Dogfather.
16Anybody else remember Checkers? (No, I am not quite old enough to have heard the speech live.)
