Thank You, Republican Party
Y’all, the latest damfool Texas is sending to Washington, Dee Cee, is moving right on up the Boy Howdy Ain’t We Crazzzy Republican Scale.
Ted Cruz, who accused Mitt Romney of “French kissing Barack Obama” in the third debate, is Texas’s answer to Michele Bachmann. And that makes him a spokesman for the GOP.
Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas will succeed Texas Sen. John Cornyn as chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
Moran just announced that Texas’ senator-elect, Ted Cruz, has agreed to serve as the NRSC’s vice chairman for grassroots operations and political outreach – a signal that Cruz intends to bring his tea party credentials to bear on behalf of the party.
Now forget the fact that the Tea Party got knocked out so cold in the last election that you could skate on them. Forget that their limits are limitless. Ted Cruz was picked for political outreach for three reasons: (1) for the youth vote – he’s younger than John McCain and only 90% as senile, (2) for the female vote – he’s more feminine than Lisa Murkowski, and (3) for the minority vote – he’s almost as dark as John Boehner and, as an added plus, he was born in Canada.
Honey, if the best they can do for political outreach is Ted Cruz, then their goose is cooked like a Thanksgiving entree.
And as a Texan, I would just like to say, “You’re welcome.”
Thanks to Deb for the heads up.
Nothing makes you look saner than sitting next to a crazy person. And right now the Democrats have scored a seat right next to the craziest Republicans I’ve seen in years. We couldn’t have done better if we had known what we were doing.
Thank You, Republican Party!
1Ted Cruz creeps me out. I hope he doesn’t do “outreach” in schools. He might scare the children.
2Lorraine has nailed it. Cruz is just creepy. Somehow, I expect some sort of “naughty” outbreak in the next couple of years.
3As far as “The Republican Party” is concerned….. he has an “Hispanic” surname. That’s all they were looking for….. and they think they have it.
Born in Canada, you say.
How fun is that going to be?
4Cruz beng in charge of vice will probably take all the fun out of vice.
5Hey but does that mean he can’t be president?! Or does he get some kind of pass?
6Love you commentary.
7I am totally in awe of what the Republicans have done in appointing Cruz. They have just handed us 2016!
I’m hoping Ted will be a one term anomaly. His Tea Party ramblings won’t sit well with those wanting to reshape the GOP. Maybe someday we will have a viable Democratic candidate for Senate.
8It’s kinda sad that the only Hispanic we can manage to send to the Senate is a rightwing Cuban…
