I’m not concerned about Sen. Ted Cruz running for the presidency. His extremist views doom his chances and predestine his failure, but will provide some needed amusement and head-scratching peculiarities necessary to punctuate the merciless bore of an endless presidential campaign.
Surrounded by a massive infestation of indoctrinated followers, he preceded his announcement with a paint-drying, self-aggrandizing preamble trying to the patience of all but his most ardent acolytes. Even its earnest pomp and magnificent solemnity were threatening glazed eyes to crust over and anesthetized enthusiasm to reach for that relieve only found in liberating slumber.
Oh, I could tell, they sought to cheer more than they did, but just as in a comedy devoid of proper timing, the inspiration lacked the proper punch. And, though there were some moments of rousing applause that succeeded in delivering an awkward smile to a face not very used to such distortion; to say that Cruz appeared on cruise control would be inaccurate.
Should he wish to gain the favor of more than ultra-conservatives and the Jerry Falwell crowd, he needs to reassess his fundamental convictions and realign his approach with better common sense and realistic reasoning, or he will forever continue to paint the image of a scary clown in the minds of those empowered to determine his political destiny.
Obama has an IQ score of 102 Cruz 145, must we only have the worst and dumbest, not the best and brightest.
Cruz of Lose
That's why I'm writing a letter-to-the-editor about him.
Nixon, Carter, Reagan and both Bushes were obviously well above 102. But 102 is very high for a black person, according to the Bell Curve.
Bingo.
Mikey sounds like he’d be happier amongst the elites in San Francisco.
Kind of ironic, coming from the composer of this merciless bore of an ignorant, tedious, retromingent screed.
Gee, I wonder if someone wrote a letter like this in 1979 concerning Ronald Reagan.
Sorry, that should have been “retrominctant screed.”
Folks can comment using FB. I don’t have FB, or I would ask if this writer was an OFA paid letter-writing plant. (I don’t care to register, with email, to comment.)
We need to expect - and be prepared - for much more of this kind of stuff against Sen Ted Cruz. He has the left all in a bunch.
“Nixon, Carter, Reagan and both Bushes were obviously well above 102. But 102 is very high for a black person, according to the Bell Curve.”
high for a black person, but apparently not high enough...
Thousands of “someones” and a few of them not even party or union big-wigs.
I went to the referenced page to read the rest of the letter. But the entire letter, which basically doesn’t say anything, was posted in the OP.
I'm pretty sure that after the chicanery was pointed out, Gannett started hiding behind the copyright infringement card.
I'm not surprised at all by the astro-turfing of any dying media, or otherwise gullible, if not conspiratorial, staff at any "news" outlet.
Glad to hear that this "poisoning the well" attempt isn't going over too well.
Ouch.
You had it right the first time.
I doubt he even listened to the speech.
Probably had Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow or Jon Stewart explain it to him.
Where did you come up with Obama at 102? As much as I despise him he must be better than that, right?
Don’t disagree with Cruz - he has the history to justify 145 - but where did you come up with this? Just an opinion?
He’s driving them nuts:
