From the reasoning of YOUR replies I suspect you also SUPPORT MUSLIM HONOR KILLINGS.
Have you considered Doc, that a 'Jedi' wears a cloak which covers and obscures their face, just like the 'Sith', just like ISIS executioners?
You may be on to something.

(TRUMP & <S>Cruz</S> 2016 - "Evil succeeds when good men do nothing" - Edmund Burke)
From Jan 2013 to Jan 2016, Cruz missed 132 of 1,005 roll call votes, which is 13.1%.
This is much worse than the median of 1.7% among the lifetime records of senators
currently serving. The chart below reports missed votes over time.

If I had to go to some damned Caucus where I had to convince others to vote for A over B, I would not show up either.
That is bogus. One Man One Vote! And in the privacy of a booth.
Though at least in Iowa your vote (if you get to exercise it) means something. By the time my state has a primary the selection is usually done.

Did you see the Trump mailer upthread. A nicely groomed invitation to caucus with the Donald complete with instructions location and necessary registration forms. There was a time listed when the Donald would have Jeeves stop by the limo to provide transportation for you and your family to the caucus event..complete with hot dogs and balloons. Now that was a Mailer! In the Cruz version, a guy named Vince rolls up in a 64 Chevy Malibu, stuffs the hapless voters in the trunk of the car.

Well, John Kasich's father just weighed in on this.
He wanted to know what idiot used 8 Forever stamps to mail this dreck.
LOL!!
Meanwhile in other news, JediJones was last reported very busy stirring the potassium cyanide into the big vat of purple FlavorAid
(c) and shouting to everyone to "hurry! hurry!", while Chauncey Uppercrust was reminding everyone that
"
Jesus is for Cruz" <--
(actual tagline).
On a serious note, the only thing that I can conclude from this absurd "Voter Shaming" campaign is that the insanity of Glenn Beck is contagious and infected the entire Cruz staff in Iowa.

"sundance" is scummy.
Sundance is telling the truth, and the Cruz campaign has confirmed this "Shaming" tactic came from them. That ain't 'scummy', there Sparkplug.
Paid Trump staffer.
Prove it. Put up or shut up.
Attacking Jim Robinson's #1 candidate.
Don't invoke the Boss' name unless you're going to also include the fact that he said that "if Cruz doesn't make it, he is happy with Trump"(actual quote, FReepmail me if you want the URL)
Sick.
I understand why you would be feeling sick. You didn't just drink the Cruz KoolAid, you snorted it straight from the envelope.

This is MY opinion, and only mine, but this looks bad...and especially after knowing that 7 of his staffers quit today...
I don't know what his problem is, but there is something that some people have noticed with Cruz and that is he has no ability to stand on his own...
While running for Senate, he was down like 2% until Palin came in and ‘helped him’; then he went to the Senate and he isn't liked there, the rest of them just stay away from him, and I have noticed since this presidential campaign, Mike Lee has backed away from him as others have...
He has his name on a lot of other peoples bills and amendments, but haven't seen him do anything other than piggy back on people...
He has done that during the campaign, and is so obvious that is how he was with Trump...seems like he was for the H1B visa bill, now he's against it; if someone does something, he tries to copy them doing it, hence the names of ‘Me2Ted’ or ‘Copy Cat Ted’....
He was given a rare opportunity at the last debate the other night to shine, and he blew it...during the break in the debate, from the clip on the internet that I watched, nobody would talk to him, he went up to Rubio, he turned and walked away, on down the line, he is not liked and the desperation of bring someone like Beck into his campaign, he might as well pack it up and go back to Texas and try to salvage what is left of his Senate Seat...he done and over...
There are things the American Voters will put up with and there are things they won't and they aren't putting up with Cruz any longer...

Good point, especially about someone who presumed to have the default position on judgment ability.

As one who liked both Trump or Cruz, got to believe the Cruz campaign is seeing some really bad polling data.
This mailer is offensive, canât escape that.
We'll see Monday night what happens, but I can't help but wonder why Cruz took a once successful campaign, drafting the Trump campaign, pivoting to something that looks to be a loser.
Just from a political standpoint, I'm puzzled.
I'm not puzzled at all. The entire Cruz campaign in Iowa has obviously been infected with the same strain of insanity that has turned Glenn Beck's brain into mush.
Ted isn't looking too happy in that picture if you ask me.

These things have to be slowly nurtured and carefully built up. To be savored. Monday night and Tuesday morning have great promise.

I think your insights are bang on.
Sad but true. I’m sure that everyone was hoping for something more substantial out of Ted Cruz but it didn’t happen.
He’s done.

This CANNOT POSSIBLY be real!This was exactly my reaction to the first fundraising letter I got from Cruz. It was aimed at a Christian Nationalist audience and read like a parody of something. I contacted his people to find out if it was real or a Democrat dirty trick, but never heard back.
