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....

Egging the battleship USS Sarah Palin from their little Progressive rowboats...
Ah, “the” Los Angeles Times; home of the magic negro term of yester-year. I think they also pumped up Reid for his “articulated” comment about said negro.
These people are just disgusting. Stand up for the country’s standards at their core and you’re a right wing nutter. Embrace communism and hedonism and your fabulous!!!
The author needs to read this:

and state loudly what his belief is; so we can all adjust out sights appropriately.
LOL!
THAT'S gonna leave a mark...
BTW - Kim Jung-Il is a better golfer than Princess Barack, too...
That's raciss.
And almost as bad as saying the "N" word.
Just axe the Wookie...
He also is an Obama fluffer...
” ... creating apocalyptic fantasies about how Barack Obama is a communistic, Muslim Antichrist. ... “
Horsey uses Alinsky’s rule #5.
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.
They’re so transparent.
Cruz really scares the left. This is so funny. Beware! He articulates the conservative argument well. LOL

His being a Christian should scare you stiff.
Pray America is waking up
..and they still misrepresent her! She DOES have a high IQ!
Her manner of speech drives 'em nuts. Same if one [like myself] has a southern or Texas accent. it autumatically means stupid to libtards who wouldn't know stupid if it slapped them in the face. All they would need to do is look in the mirror!
I wonder if the author would be willing to compete with Palin in side-by-side IQ tests. My money would be on Palin to win by a mile.
” fantasies about how Barack Obama is a communistic, Muslim Antichrist, “
I’m not seeing the fantasy part of this.
This is why they're nervous. Senator Cruz actually understands and will be able to articulate the Constitution. They're beginning to discover that he's not some rube that's going to stammer in front of a podium.
However, there is a narrow group of conservatives in the legal world who... ...believe the words of the Constitution mean exactly — and only — what they say. They would be happy to roll back most of the jurisprudence of the last couple centuries. Ted Cruz is one of those people.
He says this like it's a bad thing.
I wish someone would sponsor a debate on constitutional law between Cruz and Dershowitz — or Barack Obama
Yes, I'd like to see this as well.
He was/is. But now they let him write too.
David Horsey is an idiot in an echo chamber.
Palin never actually became a candidate, she teased and play acted and strung you folks along for months and months , but in the end she kept her soft job on FNC instead.
Cruz actually jumped in the water, that is a big difference.
OK, Sarah Palin is stupid, Ted Cruz is smart, but on almost everything they are “on the same page”. What a coinsidence! The author of this drivel is the stupid one.
