Ted Cruz is Sarah Palin with a high IQ
The Los Angeles Times ^ | April 2, 2015 | David Horsey

Posted on 04/02/2015 8:49:38 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

If I were to mirror the example of the delusional right-wing folks who have spent seven years creating apocalyptic fantasies about how Barack Obama is a communistic, Muslim Antichrist, I could probably manufacture some scary characterizations of the first announced candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, Ted Cruz — but I won’t. Instead, I want to compare him favorably to his ideological soul mate, Sarah Palin, which may be even more scary..

Both the Texas senator and the former Alaska governor oppose abortion and same-sex marriage. They both want a smaller federal government and a more confrontational foreign policy. They want to repeal Obamacare and seal up the borders. Both are darlings of the tea party. Neither believes climate change is real. When they are in front of evangelical Christian crowds, they talk freely about salvation and prayer warriors. Both are so ambitious that they barely warmed the seats in their first major elected offices before jumping into campaigns at the highest level of national politics.

On just about everything, Cruz and Palin are on the same page. The difference is that the page Cruz reads from is in a law book, while Palin’s is in People magazine.

Palin is pretty much the embodiment of scatterbrained. Her off-the-cuff speeches are hilarious, nonsensical contortions of the English language. Her occasional stints as a pundit on Fox News are so daffy that even the sympathetic conservative hosts seem baffled by her blather. She is an attractive celebrity who is a good fit for a TV reality show, not for any position that would allow her to get her manicured fingers on the nuclear codes....

David Horsey-a$$ sounds like a moron who probably doesn’t understand a word that any Conservative utters.

He has liberal brain. It’s a lot like chemo brain, but much more destructive.

As Ronald Reagan said, “Conservatism works every time it’s tried.”

That is an exact description of ME. He says they are “scary” and I’m like them, so am I scaring all you readers? (If I am, I don’t care.)

“...and Obama is Stalin with a tan.....”

I looked closely at Obama’s skin color when he was praising himself yesterday for the horrible Iran agreement/outline.

A makeup person is covering his face with a dark orange makeup so he will looked tanned instead of black. The color is the natural dark orange color of suntanned/sunbaked John Boehner’s face. On Obama, I could see where the makeup ended on each side of his face and ended just before his hair at top of forehead. His lips used to be a natural purple but now they aren't purple.

He does not want to be black so he's a “racist”.

This picture of Cruz/Palin is posted many times everywhere and it was made in Montgomery County about five miles from my house in Conroe, Texas. It was about a week until the election was held making Cruz a Texas Senator.

After that picture when the rally was over, Palin and husband went to a Chick-fil-A in the county to eat - the rally was held during the time Chick-fil-A was sticking to their religious beliefs with their insurance.

The above is the background for that Texas picture.

You’ve noticed. For someone whose candidacy has no chance, the leftmedia sure is interested.

They would be happy to roll back most of the jurisprudence of the last couple centuries. Ted Cruz is one of those people.

That makes him pretty radical. His views place him in the same camp as all of those throughout U.S. history who have resisted federal authority — including slave owners, Confederate politicians, rapacious industrialists and die-hard segregationists.

He's still a cartoonist at heart.

Sarah Palin will make a fine Vice President of the United States, and Ted Cruz as the President of the United States.

With both the left’s false narrative, false charge of sexism and racism will be neutered.

We know with Hillary entering the race that the sexism card is going to be used and offended.

Hillary can NOT run her campaign on strong foreign policy.

What’s going to happen is she is going to have her minions in the media create the narrative of the evil white men beating up on a woman when they question her on anything.

The sexism card will be used early and often.

That’s why Ted Cruz needs to balance the ticket with Sarah Palin to neuter, to squash the sexism screeches from the left and media.

That will simply be turned into “race traitor” and “gender traitor”..and they will say it with a straight face.....never underestimate the depths that a liberal will sink.

Lets not forget they called Romney a murderer while at the same they praise teddy the U boat commander.

Why would Cruz torpedo his POTUS run...?

Lots of other fine upstanding female conservatives who can balance the ticket...

Sarah is a great American patriot, but she is no longer a viable candidate for any higher office where she needs to win votes...

The left had marginalized her, demonized her, to the point too many clueless Americans thinks she is a joke...

If she can gut a moose and aim straight, run a whole state she’s got more intelligence and IQ than most of them, if not all of them.

She just needs to get practice from Ted Cruz on how to articulate conservative principles.

Remember John Kerry in his photo opp in his orange hunting suit ? What a dunce.
