Yep, the Democrats haven’t been this mad at Republicans since we freed their slaves.

I wish our representatives would repeat this over and over.

Also, tell the people how many Dems/Repub voted for/against the Civil Rights Act of 64. If I remember correctly, more Repubs voted for it than Dems.

Why doesn’t someone bring up Sen. Robert Byrd, esteemed Democrat leader, who actually held a KKK office as a recruiter of new members?

Ted Cruz just parroting what Rush Limbaugh has said for years where most Cruzisms come from. Big deal.

The truth is, the Klan was started by Democrats but the 1920s “Invisible Empire” was indeed a more split amalgamation. Then, starting with the civil rights era, it reverted back to the Democrats. They have a complex history.

I actually agree with that.

And like I just said, Rush Limbaugh has been saying this for years, so now, Cruz is getting a big pat on the back from some as if he is the first one to ever say this. Many folks have.

But mainly Rush, Cruz does seem to say a number of things that I first heard on Rush.

How about that one saying, I don’t know who said it first; but about Obama not identifying terrorism as Islamic terrorism. Cruz said this but he didn’t come up with the original idea. Rush might not have either, I forget who did.

What do you think that KKK comment was all about? It was nothing more than red meet tossed to his fanboy base. It didn’t register with the Left, and most folks sitting at home were thinking, Wha?

He’s desperate. He overplayed his hand last year, and everyone is one to him. We have a few people who glommed on to him and now can’t be honest with themselves.

If we had all done what Tead did last year, Hillary would be president. How much grandstanding would he be doing now?

He would be doing a lot, because he would think he had a shot in 2020. Nope. He ended that last year.

At any rate, we can expect him to jump in front of every camera, glom on to every Trump action, and try to make it look like everything Trump is doing, Ted beat him to.

Ted is this year’s John McCain. How’s my hair boys?
