One thing can be said about Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is that he attracts media ire as much as a Hollywood celebrity attracts paparazzi. If one’s worth is measured in the number of one’s enemies, Cruz is richer beyond the dreams of avarice.
Chris Matthews, the MSNBC talking head, left a blog post on May 24, 2013 that stated, without apparent irony, “Pay attention to Senator Cruz because he is the unsmiling, contemptuous face of the wild, nasty, hard-right fringe of a party that once competed with the Democrats to be the country’s governing party.”
Bill Maher, also without irony, took to his own blog, quoted by Newsbusters, and stated, concerning Cruz’s alleged presidential ambitions, “And you can bet the farm that he will run, because he's got Newt Gingrich's ambition and ego mixed with the steely-eyed focus of a serial killer. He's young and Cuban, like Rubio, but even Tea Baggier -- and totally unwilling to compromise with liberals on anything, including eating with a knife and fork.” “Tea Bagger” is a pejorative used against members of the tea party movement that is a reference to an exotic sex act.....

Let's talk about Ted. It appears that Ted is about the only one who can garner nearly full Conservative support around here. Yes, there is a birther faction, but if some legal finding establishes once and for all that Cruz is natural born - i.e. he never had to be naturalized - it will be interesting to see if they'll withhold their support.
mere purity is not acceptable...... it must be Christlike purity
Scab pickers.
It is a shame to see so many delve into PDS hatred. (I think it is because they are Republicans, and only Republicans)
Also thank you for post those pics of Sarah and Sen. Cruz.
For some reason they brought a Tear to my eye. :)
They are that great, and so are you!
These racist white liberals better watch their a$$ with Cruz - he has the ability to turn out millions of apathetic or even RAT-voting hispanics.
Speaking of white liberals and their CDS burn, Bill Richardson had the gall to call Cruz non-hispanic!
Our Senator Cruz fully understands the constitutuion and its limits on Government. Sure to anger the left. Sounds like he’s pissing off the right people. Go, Cruz, Go.
I certainly hope he is not our Aetius!
no disrespect meant to Palin, he’s a lot smarter than Palin and more comfortable in his own skin
And his voice is perfectly agreeable, unlike Palin’s inexplicably untrained tones.
The Indian tribes measure their own prowess by the strength of their enemies. If you aren’t pissing off the right people, you’re not tryin’.
RE :"While McCain has sunk back to the obscurity of being a venerable senator,"You pinged a whole list of members to show them your cognitive reading comprehension (lack of) skills?Vulnerable?? He's got four more years to cause trouble
“->he’s a lot smarter than Palin and more comfortable
What a dumb comment. Palin endorsed him and Ted wanted her there to help him. Seems he’s pretty keen in knowing how smart she is. There’s no competition. They work on the same team.”
Just to be clear, I make no pretense to being smarter than either. Just pointed out the obvious. Btw, we are indeed all on the same team :)
What is it with so many here? Do you really buy the Tina Fey/Bill Maher/David Letterman/Hollywood/MSM/Steve Schmidt/Nicole Wallace bullsh*t that Gov. Palin is an idiot who thinks she can see Russia from her house? That she thought Africa was a country and all the rest of it? Do you REALLY think someone like that could rise to the governorship of a large state? She has a university degree, do you think someone took her tests for her and she was pushed forward due to affirmative action, like our exalted leader was? She WAS NOT a part of a large, powerful political machine, unlike DEAR LEADER and just the opposite, fought the entrenched powers-that-be in Alaska. How many “morons” send politicians to jail? How many “idiots” get picked to be vice president of the United States? Or do you really believe that a major political party did little to no research on a presidential running-mate? C’mon!
“How many “idiots” get picked to be vice president of the United States?”
I’m disappointed in your posting Indian Head. I frequently read your comments mainly because you’re a fellow vet and I respect that. However, if you will re-read my post on this you will note that I merely stated that Cruz is smarter than Palin. I did not say that Palin is stupid or an idiot - nor do I believe that she is either. In fact, I voted for the McCain/Palin ticket even though it was apparent that they would lose. And, I will agree before you say it, it was due to McCains deficiencies, not Palin’s. So, there, does that make it all better :)
How many idiots? How do you spell Biden?
This comment from that MSBBC definition of avuncular, a description often applied to Walter Croncite? CBS was wrong too, but the public wasn’t laughing at him.
It’s not so much you, but I’m frustrated with the Palin-bashing here, of all places! I suspect some of it is because she’s female, but I’ll allow that some want to be seen as siding with the “cool kids” of the MSM and Hollywood.
