Obamacare Supporters Troll Ted Cruz on Facebook

(WASHINGTON) -- It appeared Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, expected something entirely different from Facebook when he asked whether his Facebook followers were better off with Obamacare than they were four years ago, suggesting they “Comment with YES or NO!”

Post by Senator Ted Cruz.

Comment they did.

By late Wednesday afternoon, the status update had more than 55,000 replies.  

“I and a few million other people are a lot better off,” said one user. “I hope you are enjoying your Cadillac plan given to you by your wife’s employer, Goldman Sachs.”

“YES, best law ever! And way overdue!” read another one.

And the comment generating the most “likes”?

“Impeach Ted Cruz! He caused the shutdown that hurt this country badly!”

It took a good deal of scrolling to reach the first comment with a negative review of the health care law, which Cruz has become notorious for combating since joining the Senate in 2013.

“No. I couldn’t afford healthcare before and I still can’t and now will also have to pay a fine,” the commenter said. “Wish I could fine the government for making my life hell everyday.”

Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told Politico that the comments were “clearly a manufactured, concerted effort from people on the left making comments days after the original post was put up.”

Still, it didn’t appear the vast majority of commenters would be getting friend requests from Cruz anytime soon.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

It goes to show you just how stupid Democrat trolls are. Impeach a Senator? It actually takes less than that, but they have no clue.

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

So now ABCDisney News is reposting the trolling activities of libtards on socialist media?

Did they see the smears on the Amazon.com listing for a “Ted Cruz coloring book”? Attacks on Ted, Sarah, and Bachmann (and religion and gun owners and...).

Libtards hate. It’s what they do. And GLBTDisney faggots are laughing about it.

[Jane Long]

Paid trollers. Prolly goes directly to their EBT cards.

I would also add that the reason he has been targets by Democrat automatons is that the Democrat Regime is scared shitless of him. Just like Damien’s fear against the wrath of God and his angels.

[uncitizen]

Looks like Obama has been using his phone...

I thought the meme was that cyberbullying was WRONG.

Learn something every day watching tee vee.

The socialists on socialist networking sites are more than willing to hate for free. They take glee in their hatred of conservatives.

They happily post fake articles as fact and shrug when they are told that it was a hoax.

Stalinists lie. Always

[Jane Long]

True.

It’s disappointing that, having taken this kind of risk, Cruz’s team didn’t anticipate the response and had no means in place to counter it.

I would imagine that had a post shown up here letting everyone know that Cruz was getting so hammered, ecouraging people to go FREEP his FB page, the response would have been overwhelming.

This is news? A leftist “freeping” of a social media page? Seriously?

[TurboZamboni]

More likely they’re gubmint workers ‘working’ on our dime at the local ‘teaching’ center.

[sickoflibs]

Facebook?

[KC_Lion]

good good!

Ted Cruz had made all the right enimes.

use your aggressive feelings you stupid liberals, let the hate flow through you!!!

Yeah, as they ignore all the hate tweets directed at conservatives. The news is what they say it is, and never have they been more aware of that, nor more shameless in using it for their own agenda.

[House Atreides]

ABC “News” carrying the water for the Soros PAID trolls and giving their PAID comments wider visability-—what a surprise, and SO unexpected!

[wku man]

If we're ever going to get serious about wrestling our Republic back from the grasp of the Commie thug dictators, we've got to start doing this stuff ourselves. Which means those who have the means to fund such operations -- the conservative counterparts to Soros, Zuckerberg, Turner, Hollyweird, et al -- have to start paying people to blog, troll and give back to the 'Rats/Commies what they're dishing out. There are certainly enough unemployed conservatives and veterans who would love an opportunity to make some money while striking back at the Obammunists...come on, conservatives, put your investment dollars where your Republic is!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

What it really shows us is who they are afraid of.

Funny how much that word looks like Satanists when you glance over it. Probably for good reason.
