That’s How The Turkey Goes
Remember several years ago when Sarah Palin was doing an interview on teevee and some guy right behind her was slaughtering turkeys in a mess of blood, feather, and squawks?
The first rule in politics is always look to see what’s behind you before the camera comes on. Big time politicians have advance people who do that for a living. I know. I have worked with them to arrange American flags or bunches of little children behind the candidate before the candidate even arrives.
Ted Cruz’s advance team had one job and …
Now let me tell you why this would never happen to Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, or Martin O’Malley. They would never the hell speak to a room full of people who view handguns as art.
The rightwing is outraged, outraged I tell you, that the Associated Press would use this picture. Ted Cruz chose the backdrop of his picture. Ted Cruz is the one who chose to tell gun jokes immediately after the horror of Charleston. Ted Cruz made is bed and now he want to sleep in mine.
Ted Cruz wanted guns in the background and he got guns in the background. So, the rightwing needs to shut the hell up.
Thank you for the giggles.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Funny how he looks so unnatural when he is dressed casually.
1Karma, oh karma, we know where you are now!
2That’s called an “Oops!” moment, Cruz. That image will follow you around for the rest of your miserable life.
3How fitting! How deserving! This should happen to all the Repugs repeatedly.As we all know they are in the pocket of the NRA, which in turn is in the pocket of the gun manufacturers.
Maybe it’s just the lighting, but Terrible Teddy looks as though he’s wearing eye makeup and lipstick, and that his makeup artist was a bit heavy handed. Definitely not a good look.
4Shouldn’t that gun be aimed lower? Because he’s always shooting his mouth off?
5The make up is just what is leftover from posing for his pinata.
6There are so many things wrong with that face, I don’t know where to start!
7Happy Birthday, JJ!
8Even Louis G. and Rick Perry, know better. And that’s saying something.
9This is the best commentary I’ve read about this. There’s lot of blaming and excusing. This puts the responsibility where it belongs.
10Right on, JJ!
Were all someones daughter
Were all someones son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
Youre the voice, try and understand it
Make a noise and make it clear
Were not gonna sit in silence
Were not gonna live with fear

12What happens if you don’t believe in background checks for guns.
13The guns are no problem at all compared with the face. That’s what’s primarily wrong with the picture.
14I’d be far more concerned about what shoots out of that mouth than I’d ever be about mere bullets. Such a hateful demagogue!
15Looks like a middle-aged Dracula that not only sucks blood, but maybe some other stuff, too.
16Palin’s approval should be the kiss of death for Raphael.
17I think this is almost as bad as her targets drawn on people. ..and he did it to himself.
The steps to a draconian government are already in place–God help us if any Republican gets in office…–“Patriot Act” –heck they will be thought policing and demanding “with me or against me” roundups of people who aren’t in Church on the first day of the week and invoking the “one drop of blood” rule to purify the country…”passing for “white ” won’t be enough…me–heck, I’ll be bright blue, like all the rest of the Jewish folk…
Racist, narcissistic, gun fetishist, socially inept, sociopath, and worst of all Dominionist, this guy is terrifying. JEB! is right there as well, and JEB has $$$…I’d say we are sheep to the slaughter, but it’s more like we are feral pigs, squealing how “some pigs are more equal than others” as we us stones to pound the sacrifice to death and scream about “exceptionalness”.
I’m so tired this time, my illness, money issues, pointless FEAR shoved at us, being wise as a serpent is useless unless you are striking really fast and are ruthlessly intentional. We do not have the malevolence that we need–no will to be about true change–forcibly cutting off beards, invoking stringent population control, outlawing 33 count magazines of ammo and handguns…forcing gun owners into hunting clubs and “organized militias”.
SIGH.
SIGH indeed!
18I saw Jurassic World yesterday. In one of the climactic scenes a young boy, crouching desperately in the back of an armored truck trying to stay away from the huge jaws and claws of the gigantic creature, says: “We need more of them.” When asked more of what, he says “Teeth.”
19They got their teeth in the form of a like-sized monster and a few smaller ones that leapt about distracting the big guy and inflicting smaller wounds.
That’s what we need, elise. More teeth.
yellowdoggranny, I’m one of them.
20Last time I saw a facial expression like that was at Monty Python’s “Upper Class Twit of the Year” competition.
21Yep, pay attention.
22That’s a tough face for a cartoonist to draw. It’s nearly impossible to parody a man whose face is a caricature in any light. If a face can spell, that one spells dork.
23There’s only one problem… even if there was a real gun pointed at the Misguided Cruz Missile, the bullet would go through without hitting anything vital or essential. And all the medics would do is put a bandage over the holes like sealing a puncture in a tire, and re-inflate his head back to normal.
24“… bu-bu-bu-but … guns don’t kill people … posters of guns kill people!!”
25And Faux News talking heads were aghast about the newspapers printing this, claiming they would never print it of a Progressive candidate. Again, Andrea, blame the messenger, not the stupidity of the candidate.
26Guns don’t kill people, but they sure can wound a campaign.
27It is the curled upper lip. I have a dog does that when anything gets too close to the feed bowl, or his person. Dog in the manger incarnate.
28Political Campaign Suicide by Photographer…One can wish.
29headlines: joseph mccarthy’s long lost son misses foot and shoots head is attempted political suicide.
30What Anna said – June 23, 2015 at 9:00 am – “What happens if you don’t believe in background checks for guns.”–Brilliant!
31If the gun were pointed in the opposite direction in the photo, would the ammosexuals have been upset about it?
32Must be official now,Fake Noize blonde bimbo eruption has weighed in and declared Dems hypocrites.

Adding crooshairs to Dems photos is okay. Posting a picture of Cruz standing by a gun poster is terrible.
33Oh the irony. Like the irony of going to a place called Liberty University and then forcing students to attend. Oh the irony.
34Wow, he really looks dopey if you look at him close. Never did that before, never will again. Do not recommend it.
