Ted Cruz Responds to Jerry Brown Saying He’s ‘Unfit’ for Office
Mediaite ^ | 03/23/2015 | Josh Feldman

Before he officially announced his run for the presidency, Senator Ted Cruz responded to California Governor Jerry Brown calling him “unfit” for office.

Brown was on Meet the Press yesterday and reacted to Cruz rejecting scientific theories about climate change. Brown said, “That man betokens such a level of ignorance and a direct falsification of the existing scientific data… [He] has rendered himself absolutely unfit to be running for office.”

Cruz spoke to Breitbart News Sunday yesterday and responded to Brown’s remarks. He rejected the “alarmism” and again insisted there has been no warming in the past decade-plus.

Cruz also expressed disappointment in Brown engaging in ad hominem attacks:

He said alarmists like Brown “ridicule and insult anyone who actually looks at the real data” instead of engaging in a meaningful debate or discussion because “they don’t want to confront the data” that undercuts their narrative. Cruz said that though “apocalyptical computer models said that we would see substantial warming,” the “problem is that the satellites that are actually measuring the temperature show that that isn’t happening.”

You can watch Brown’s comments here, via NBC:

Feel free to step up and debate Cruz, Moonbeam. You’ll be stomped to dust.

That's like the pot calling the kettle uncreamed.

Meanwhile Jerry wants to build a train from nowhere to nowhere in a state that has no water which means soon there will be no passengers in the train from nowhere to nowhere with nobody on it going nowhere

Jerry, always the stupid governor.

So in Moonbeam’s world “fitness” for office requires adherence to the tenets of the Global Warming cult?

When the founder of The Weather Channel calls man-made climate change a fraud, it seems it’s Brown and the rest of the cooling-climate deniers who are unfit to hold office.

Moombean once again demonstrates that his nickname was appropriate.

That clown would probably flunk even the simpleton classes that Dorkbama managed to “quota out” of.

Cruz should answer: Eighteen years ago, the temperature of the earth was X. Today, it is Y. In other words, the earth is getting cooler.

Does anyone have the two temperatures handy?

I'm glad that Cruz is not taking the RINO high road "I'll not dignify the attacks with a response" approach.

Best thing for Cruz to do right now is smash his critics right in the mouth (figuratively speaking, of course). Make it painful for the liberals to attack Ted Cruz.

Ah, Governor Medfly.

From the American Spectator Oct. 11, 2010 by Jed Babbin (http://spectator.org/articles/38770/medfly-and-other-dems):

“[T]he gent who the late Mike Royko labeled “Governor Moonbeam.” But the last time Jerry Brown served as California’s governor was thirty years ago, and memories — even bad ones — fade over time. So it’d be a good time for Ms. Whitman to remind Californians of Brown’s other nickname — Governor Medfly — and how he earned it.

“In 1980 California was beset simultaneously with Brown sitting in the governor’s chair and an infestation of the Mediterranean fruit fly (the two creatures being easily confused). On November 24, 1980, the U.S. Department of Agriculture declared the state’s effort at medfly eradication inadequate. Gov. Medfly fumbled and fussed, working anxiously to avoid using environmentally unfriendly pesticides against the environmentally destructive fly. Eight months later — on July 10, 1981, after threats of boycotts of California agricultural products came from Japan and Mexico — Brown finally ordered aerial spraying. State ag officials used malathion, a very powerful chemical. But because the infestation had spread so widely by the time Brown acted, the spray had to be applied across a huge area, close to many populated places. The malathion promptly melted the paint off of hundreds of cars. Californians may want to vote “green”, but not if they have green-painted cars.”

Brown is crazier than bat quano.

Good gosh and golly, Governor Moonbeam doesn’t like Ted Cruz! Well, that’s it Ted, you might as well pack it in. If Jerry is against you, it’s hopeless.

Snerk!!!!

Cruz said that if Brown wanted to hurt him politically, Brown would appear on television and praise him.

Funny stuff...I like it.

But, of course, only progressives are eligible to vote or hold office. Obama is coming out with an EO on this any day now.

Ted is smart enough to subject to the ridicule they so richly deserve. . . . Pour it on, Ted!

The left cannot stand a light shining on them. Please be that light for us, Ted!!!

Governor moonbeam recently said that Kalifornicate has a budgetary surplus while in fact the state is actually billions in red ink. Out comes the commie democrats knives because they are truly afraid some patriotic American will enforce our laws and start prosecuting them for corruption. That would be the best way to rid ourselves of many in DC.

Just how IS fitness for office measured? Is there some yardstick I know nothing about, or is it just a “gut feeling” on the part of the self-proclaimed wise ones?

If Jerry Brown’s degree of indigestion is the standard upon which US citizens should base their selection of officeholders, then we are in unexplored territory for sure.
