"Ted Cruz is our Tilly Smith.
Tilly Smith was a hero. Vacationing on a beach in 2004 in Thailand, the ten-year-old Tilly immediately recognized the signs of the approaching tsunami and quickly warned fellow beachgoers, in time to save over a hundred lives.
On that fateful afternoon when she first noticed the "sizzling" water rapidly filling the shoreline, Tilly recalled a recent geography lesson on tsunamis from school and began to shout an alarm. Fortunately, enough people -- beginning with her own family -- paid attention to Tilly and spread the word, saving everyone there.
We can imagine that many of the sunscreen-lathered beachgoers were at first annoyed by Tillie's bold interruption, and might even have called her a "wacko bird." Some may have been initially so irritated by her family's warning, ruining their little slice of paradise in the sand -- that they saw not a heroine, but an impudent little girl; or worse, called her names like "short-sighted fraud," "terrorist," "extremist," or "snake-oil salesman." Even though others could have observed the very same signs, they may not have recalled their own geography studies, and likely hesitated to heed Tilly's alarm -- wanting first to take a quick opinion poll from the rest of the in-crowd.

....It's a good thing little Tilly didn't have the same attitude as the "Republican gray beards." She could have warned only her own family. Or she might have worried more about what others would think if she dared to shut down the beach party to get their attention. Or, cynically, Tilly might have concluded that since so many must have failed geography, some suffering would teach them to pay more attention -- to her and other like-minded thinkers -- the next time they faced a similar choice. That is -- if they survived.".........
Joan Walsh, just another old Stalinist hag.
Ted Cruz does not make dumb jokes, as implied by the person who wrote this screed.
He make jokes about intellectually and morally challenged people, who make themselves known by their yelp when the cast stone strikes them.
There is a certain honesty in succinct and earthy statements that summarize the failures and lapses of one’s opponents.
All lib/leftists, like Joan Walsh, have the same message: this filthy conservative is trying to derail the march to complete socialism, and he or she must be stopped. Walsh is one of the densest of the whole despicable lot, and her message is always the same: I will not try to debate the constitutional implications of what this particular conservative is doing....I will simply smear him or her at every opportunity. Simple smearing and invective will always be my “argument” when discussing conservatives. They never change.
All race; all the time.
The Nigerian email scammers could probably have written a better program than the Canadian losers who wrote this one.
Written on a no-bid contract by people who already had a history of failure. One has to wonder who got paid by the company in kickbacks.
Ted Cruz is taking heat and handling it like a Firefighter, pushing back.
“...A reference to “email” that’s a stand-in for “something about the Internet these people probably don’t understand anyway”? Check.”
The unabashed arrogance of these people. Yes, conservatives are just too stupid to understand the internet. By the way, how’s that healthcare.gov website going?
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
