All in a day's work: Ted Cruz debates Ellen Page, blasts Jimmy Carter

Des Moines, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Texas Sen. Ted Cruz criticized former President Jimmy Carter's administration during a stump speech in Iowa, one day after Carter announced he was suffering from cancer that has spread to his brain.

Speaking on a political soapbox at the Iowa State Fair Friday, Cruz said there were parallels between the Obama and Carter administrations.

"I think the parallels between this administration and the Carter administration are uncanny. Same failed domestic policy, same misery, stagnation and malaise. Same feckless and naive foreign policy,"(continued)

Best picture I've seen of her.

What a waste.

She has come out as “lesbian”, so that makes her special, if not an actual star.

When did it become cool to be gay? Somehow we went from tolerance and live and let live, to a situation where we fete and honor people who come out of the closet.

And we especially honor those who claim to be a woman trapped in a man’s body, such as Bruce Jenner.

“Dems blast Cruz’s Carter comments, demand that Republicans denounce Cruz and urge him to withdraw from the race.”

No matter what our current set of politicians and jurists have to say, homosexuality is demonstrably a mental disorder. I will never regard it as anything else and I will do all I can to protect my family from them.

Interesting. I just watched a documentary about Lance Armstrong.

Having cancer does not automatically negate any evil one has done in one’s life.

Carter is 90. He has outlived most of his contemporaries.

During his term, we had double digit inflation, unemployment, and mortgage interest rates.

He is responsible for the present state of horror that exists in the middle east.

He hates Jews and Israel, who are supposed to be our allies.

Up till recently, he was the worst president ever.

But...because he got a diagnosis of cancer, we can no longer criticize him?

Hogwash!

Its amazing how easily democrats use death.

They had to pass Obamacare for Teddy Kennedy.

It was Beau Biden’s dying wish that he father be president.

Can’t slam Carter’s disastrous policies because he’s dying.

The difference between Cruz and Trump:

Cruz: "Look, I don't agree with your desire for superior rights over heterosexuals.

Trump: "Quit being a carpet-munching box-eater. Next question please."

Thank you very much. I appreciate the kind thoughts.

I have two forms of Leukemia. One I’ve had for nine Years is now in Remission (CLL) and another (MDS) that they say isn’t a problem “right now”. Still have low Hemoglobin and White Cell Counts, so I’m not sure what’s up.

Contracted the second Leukemia because of the Chemo Drugs used to treat the first Leukemia. The Oncologist was having a BOGO Sale and I didn’t even know it. Lucky me. LOL

Just...wow. I am so sorry.

Sometimes modern “science” isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Still, thanks for letting me know so I will know what to pray!

This is the 2nd time Cruz mentioned someone he should not have, given the timing. He mocked Biden a few days after his son died, and now this.
