There's an image of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) that seemed to be everywhere at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference: the senator shirtless, buff and tattooed, with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
 
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan
 
"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792
 
"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams
 
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

The fact that Cruz has seen it makes it a million times better.

The first time I saw that cool Sabo image of Cruz, I was reminded of a pic of Marlon Brando I saw as a kid-it was in one of the magazines my mom was reading. I think he was dressed in character for a movie or something.

I had my daughter put a little color to it.

It's still, intentionally, a work in progress.

Love your work! Sometimes creepy, sometime hilarious. Would love to see this one with a Big Wheel, instead of an actual chopper, to symbolize his scared childlike nature after he gets in over his head.

Wow!

That is awesome, not sure what the “message” is supposed to be, but visually speaking, it’s really cool!
