“I’m reminded of another candidate who ran in 2008 who ran on empty promises. He ran on hope and change, and he figured a whole bunch of folks would like the rhetoric,” Cruz said of Orman, according to political website The Hill. “Mr. Orman seems to be taking a page out of Barack Obama’s book.”

Orman’s campaign has not kept quiet.

Oh my, Orman is one paid liberal hack. Bitching about the “shutdown”? It was a sequester that trimmed one dime and let the libs act like the thugs they are in harassing near death WWII vets.

I hope libs all rot in hell.

“I hope libs all rot in hell.”
