“Ted Cruz, the GOP’s Obama”

Hardly ! Cruz has a real brain and can form complete thoughts all by himself w/o a teleprompter.

Apples and oranges. Cruz actually is intelligent. I bet he even knows how many states we have and where the Atlantic and Gulf are.

FUBO

There has never been any proof that any of this is true. We have seen pictures of him when he was at Occidental. We have been told he was at the Harvard Law Review. Where are the grades?? For ANY higher learning institution?

It is the GOP which is like Obama.

Sen. Cruz is NOTHING like Obama or the miserable GOP.

THE GOP is a FRAUD.

THE GOP LIES without shame.

THE GOP supports DeathCARE.

THE GOP backstabs EVERYONE.

THE GOP cannot be trusted.

Sen. Cruz is NOTHING like Obama or the miserable GOP.

I would take the “Mc Carthy” comparison as somewhat of a compliment. Drunken, boorish, and destructive as he was, ultimately, history, as in records opened after the fall of the USSR, has shown that Mc Carthy was actually right.

Both men have impeccable educational credentials
..........................................................
WTF???????

Where has he author of this BS been hiding?

We have no idea about Obama’s educational credits. Only what he claims.

Did anyone actually see him at Columbia?
He has spent Millions to hide his records.

Whoever wrote this is full of Dung.

The names “Cruz” and “Obama” don’t belong together in the same sentence. “Cruz” needs a shower afterwards.

Blech!

"Obama went to Occidental College, transferred to Columbia University and got his law degree from Harvard."

Ha ha, that's the first thing I thought, too. I would love to see the Columbia transcripts. Absolutely nobody from his class remembers him.

Still, this conviction led Obama to turn his presidential campaign into a private political army intended to rally his base for his legislative agenda. That effort has failed utterly. Organizing for Action couldn't even organize a congressional vote on gun control, never mind a win.

Everything about Obama is a top down effort led by educated idiots who know little more than how to herd cattle.

The support for Cruz and his ideals is already here and rising from the people.

Does Goldberg really believe that tripe about Obama’s academic credentials, when there is no proof he ever excelled at his various universities and published nothing while at the Harvard Law Review?

Obama got where he is by affirmative action, white liberal guilt, and conservative cowardice. He is a living example of the Peter Principle. He’s not fit to do Sen. Cruz’s laundry.

What an insult to Ted Cruz and the GOP to make such a vile statement as Senator Cruz being the “GOP’s Obama.” Insulting Indeed!

The big difference I see is when Obama say “We”, he is talking about the government. When Cruz says “We”, he is talking about the people.

I'll bet you that folks at Princeton remember him.

I really don't understand Jonah. His book "Liberal Fascism" is relentless in its exposure of 20th century American Liberals and their fascist approach to politics. But when it comes to Obama, I think he consistently pulls his punches. To compare Cruz and Obama -- on any level -- seems to me to be quite wrong-headed. It elevates Obama and diminishes Cruz.

I fear that Jonah has become an "inside the beltway" guy.

Imagine Obama speaking all night on the floor of the Senate without a teleprompter. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, .... Sheesh.

This article is suuuuuch BS. If Obama graduated from ANYTHING, why can’t he produce the paperwork?

“Both men have impeccable educational credentials.”

What a load of crap! Obama did absolutely nothing to “earn” his degrees. There is no equivalence in their educational credentials.
