Ted Cruz,The “hymen” joke that perfectly reflects his odious worldview
New York Times ^ | APRIL 22, 2015 | JASON HOROWITZ

Posted on 03/26/2016 2:04:33 AM PDT by true believer forever

Mr. Cruz’s own attempts at humor sometimes missed the mark. In one debate, he proposed a method to detect infidelity in which God should “give women a hymen that grows back every time she has intercourse with a different guy, because that will be a ‘visible sign’ of the breach of trust,” according to a recollection by David Kennedy published in a Harvard debate team reunion booklet in 2001.

Mr. Kennedy’s debate partner mocked Mr. Cruz’s knowledge of the subject matter by contorting herself to see how the anatomy in question could be “visible,” according to the booklet.

I hate to say it....but every time I look at Cruz now....I see a youthful Bill Clinton. Out of sixteen potential candidates that the primary offered up (at least back in the summer of last year)....there’s no one much to brag about.

Yes, exposing the putrid life of Ted Cruz is a dirty job, but we trumpeters are up to the challenge! I fear the Ted’s attempt to avoid becoming “road kill” are doomed to failure! ;-)

I see worse than Bill Clinton. I see more Obama - a mal adjusted kid with soiopathic tendencies.

Bill was just a narcissist. They can do as much damage, in many ways are just as bad.

(For those who hate Trump - even if he is every bad thing you say about him, he is not a narcissist. He may be a huge and even overly huge ego, but that is not sufficient to be a narcissist formally. Sorry ... I'm not taking everything bad you say about him away, but it's not me taking narcissist away from you, it's the definition of narcissism as a personality disorder. He is not one. I don't even care if your friends who are psychologists say he is a narcissist. He can even be evil if you want, but that doesn't make him a narcissist, just as there is no such thing as marriage between two men - simply because it's not the definition of marriage)

OK, sorry, had to get that last part out, even though it didn't really apply.

Cruz is different from Clinton just as Obama is different from Clinton. All, equally damaging to whatever they get their hands into.

The woman who was trying to see her own hymen is as stupid as Hillary. A husband doesn’t need to see a hymen to know it is there.

HOWEVER - maybe there should be a similar mechanism for cheating husbands. Regenerated foreskins???

I'm old enough to remember when people were getting mad about Jesse Jackson using the word "hymies".

More than three decades later we are now at "hymen".

There's something to glean from that observation, but I just can't articulate what exactly...

No surprise here....NYT’s engaging in yellow journalism...

What is surprising, is how low a threshold Trump supporters will go, to smear Cruz based on nothing....

This article is nothing about nothing....

Basically a debate tactic that didn’t work as planned...

I think that hymens are a bad choice of analogies for anyone. Much less so for a creepoid like Cruz who, in any other context, would be one of the usual suspects when 10 year old girls go missing.

"You all are as stupid as the GOPe!!"

Giles I'm just looking for what information and viewpoints other people have and I'll judge it on my own.

I've talked a lot about the sarcasm of the Cruz supporters who can't do much else but make fun of other people, try to cut them down, call them stupid.

You're not helping your cause. You convince no one of anything and you'r noxious. You actually pull down your candidate. I'd like to say 'go away' but since I support Trump it's worth having to listen to you and those like you because you're helping to convince many who support Cruz to leave him. It's a birds of a feather thing.

I don't hate Cruz, I just don't think he's the right man. One thing you'll notice about the conversation is that we're not calling Cruz names or calling Cruz's people names. What we have to say may not be what you want to hear, but it's backed by thought and care for the country. Your only care is to convince yourself that you are smart. In that way, you are like the part of the internet that people refer to as cheap trash.

Can you really really really only argue your case by saying 'Stupid Stupid Stupid!!!!" ... don't you see how that reflects on you?

They got so used to Cruz’ free ride in the campaign they thought it was because he was truly perfect. Had no problem piling on Trump’s a Nazi baloney and now they’ll see how easy a target Cruz is. Soon they’ll be saying we can’t draw pictures of Cruz.

Sad. Cruz has cheated and lied since day one. Hell, Greta could not understand anyone wanting anything to do with lying Ted after Iowa.

Interesting, are you claiming victim status? Fair enough but know this, the article quoted has many positive points about Cruz’s college days. The initial poster chose to cherry-pick a comment that was clearly part of a debate tactic. If somebody went back into my college days they would probably find a few things that could be twisted. But I graduated Magna cum Laude and went on to an MS in physics. I know a smear campaign when I see it and I see it here. Have a good day and an Happy Easter.
