Ted Cruz spanks his daughter, and Republicans are A-OK with that
The Washington Post ^ | 01/09/2016 | Philip Bump

Posted on 01/09/2016 6:07:15 PM PST by ScottWalkerForPresident2016

During a rally in Iowa on Friday evening, Ted Cruz made a joke that went over fine with his audience -- but was less popular once the wider world caught wind.

Replying to a woman who asked him about holding someone accountable for the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens in Benghazi in 2012, Cruz said that she was "exactly right." He criticized President Obama and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for "engag[ing] in deception" on the matter. Then he zeroed in on Clinton, the likely Democratic nominee for the presidency.

"We do know Hillary told her daughter Chelsea, 'Well, gosh, I knew it was a terrorist attack, while we were out telling the American people it wasn‘t,'" Cruz said. "You know I‘ll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Catherine, the five-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking."

The problem with kids these days is that their biological sperm and egg donor units are too afraid to spank their asses when they need it.

One finger for each year old.
A baby who pulls glasses or plays with her diaper? 1 finger.
A 1 year old who takes things or disobeys? 2 fingers.
1 3 year old who hurts his sister or who throws a tantrum or who doesn’t pick up toys? 4 fingers.

Never anything hard, never anything else. Never anything but a finger or hand.
But a spanking? When needed.
A hug? When needed.

The Washington Poo had the audacity to repeat Hillary’s claims that her critics attacked her over phony scandals and then comes forth with this whopper of ‘outrage’.

FUWP

Matthew Dowd, now a commentator for ABC, stated that Cruz was not "a real man" for using corporal punishment on his daughter.

As if Dowd has any idea what a "real man" is.

Yes, my children, when young, got spankings (rod; paddle) when they told lies. It is proper when done with the correct motive and not in anger.

Cruz apparently does not want his daughters to be like the current group of youth without any moral compass or sense of responsibility...good for him.

Exactly. I grew up with “ you want to cry, I’ll give you something to cry about.”
