Psst! 🗣 Birth control should be over-the-counter, pass it on.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) June 7, 2019
I agree. Perhaps, in addition to the legislation we are already working on together to ban Members of Congress from becoming lobbyists, we can team up here as well. A simple, clean bill making birth control available over the counter. Interested? https://t.co/7kh3kqxN1w— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) June 12, 2019
In before the, oh, never mind. Don’t feel like being bashed this late in the day.
They’ll be here soon to excuse him.
WTF is going on here ?
Is Cruz wanting to bang her or something ?
The Canadian Crackpot strikes again!
Cruz offering more demonstration of why I was backing the wrong guy, him, through the first primaries in ‘16.
Not trying to control women here, but I would want any woman I care about to consult with a physician before selecting and using a birth control pill.
These contraceptives don’t all work in the same way. A woman could have a health issue that would make one product a possible threat to her health.
Over the counter products can also be purchased by an older person, and handed off to a young person whose parents should be involved at her age.
Being a privileged white male, may I ask if there is anything wrong with over the counter birth control pills?
Will he continue helping the dems when they add provisions to the bill to make it ‘free?’
Ah, AOC...
Didn’t want him over Trump for president.
Did think he’d make a good vice-president.
Did think he could move on to be president after that.
Did think a Supreme Court appointment might be good after that.
By November of 2015, I realized him being V.P. was not a good idea.
By April of 2016, I wasn’t in favor of him ever holding higher office.
By that same time I didn’t want him on a future SCOTUS roster either.
Even before the convention Ted had shattered my last nerve, as it relates to tolerating him.
His antics with the GOPe moping up on the Caucuses when he couldn’t win elections rubbed me the wrong way.
Him failing to concede and then having his people try to pull fast ones at the convention, rubbed me the wrong way.
Then he refused to back Trump at the Convention, thereby decreasing the mileage Trump would get out of the convention, and increasing the chances of a Clinton win.
From the convention on, he gave one muted endorsement followed by more months of silence.
Several days before the November election, Ted attended three campaign rallies, and refused to even say the name Trump at the first one.
Now Ted may have had grounds for being offended by Trump. I believe Trump had reasons to be offended by Ted too. What I cannot fathom is that Ted would have thrown the election to Clinton to get even. And yet, that’s pretty much what Ted did.
Only by the grace of God, did Trump pull off the squeaker. I know the electoral votes make it seem otherwise, but we were hanging by the skin of our teeth way late in the night on election night.
I can’t help but wonder what Cruz must have been thinking, knowing he could have mustered far more support for Trump than he did.
If Trump had not won, and had lost by the narrowest of an Electoral College margin, how could Ted have reasoned he was not likely the margin of difference.
I was dead wrong about Ted mid 2015. I’m not dead wrong about him today.
He’s the wrong man, at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
The article was not posted to bash Cruz but because I wanted to post a Ted Cruz article to even out my last AOC. Whatever the Ted Cruz news of the day was going to be posted. As luck would have it, the latest Cruz news just turned out to be “another AOC post”.
My take on Ted Cruz is that he will reliably go off the reservation to elevate himself, “make history,” and worst of all be “principled” in a way that undermines his avowed political philosophy.
That’s why I winced when his name was floated for US Supreme Court Justice. When push comes to shove, this guy will go into business for himself and side with the leftist judges, and then make the rounds explaining how his decision was deeply principled and intellectually airtight.
His behavior going into election 2016 displays it all. In his rich fantasy world, Hillary would have beaten Trump, she would have flamed out, and Ted would have been the GOP’s pick to win it all in 2020.
In reality, Hillary would have been stronger in 2020 and squashed Ted like a bug in the general election. He’d assume the traditional GOP Inc position late on election night: wide-eyed, shocked at his loss, and standing in a growing pool of his warm urine trying very hard not no appear pitiful.
He’ll always be better than a Democrat, of course. But keep him far away from the presidency or the Court.
A little unsolicited advice, Ted. Stay away from Miss Crazy Eyes. That one’s a bunny boiler, for sure!
Priorities!
I wonder if Cruz is trying to get laid?
