Wow...you are as insane as your candidate.
Well, another successful FR post. I wanted to talk about the political optics of peculiar religious posturing regarding one of the candidates and we devolved into a religious sect swaggering session complete with insults and now ALL CAPS!
I did manage to get a couple of paragraphs written in the new book. I also managed to transfer outline notes and do a little editing. I thought I would come back and check and yup...its turned into a Free Republic post. I gotta love all you folks here. What a diverse family of FRiends.
Like I said earlier...politics is more fun than soccer.
Now the particular aspects of Ted Cruz’s father’s religious leanings and sermons. I do understand the lineage of it now. Still, it sounds, how shall I put it, unconventional to the average ear. For some folks here, it has a sound foundation in Christian thought. For others, maybe not. Regardless of that argument, I wanted to touch upon the political optics of it. It does have that snake handling sort of vibe to it. Nothing wrong with snakes per se... although I prefer two-headed turtles, but that’s my bag. But something that looks out of the mainstream going to church sitting in the pews and listening to the sermon and singing a few gospels type church might not blend well in the political optic field. When voters see the father walking up and down the stage doing a Marjoe Gortner routine it kinda makes one crook their head a bit and go...huh? That’s dad, what about the son.
DOn’t get me wrong, I kinda liked Marjoe. A holy-roller if there ever was one. Just didn’t want to vote for him for mayor or anything like that. So if the father’s sermons get a widespread audience, that could cause trouble for Ted. Not from the other candidates...no one is going to go there and hopefully Trump is smart enough to stay away from that one with a ten foot pole. But the voters in states outside of Iowa will believe that Ted kisses snakes or whatever ridiculous notion the GOPe puts in their head through their MSM sources. They would take great joy in casting Cruz as some sort of Holy Warrior all girdled up with the Armor and ready to do battle with snakes in each hand.
Its optics. Its perception. Already Cruz has a problem with being barely a one term senator that wants to take the mantle of the greatest office on the land. We already did that. With Trump...the public thinks they know who he is cause he’s been around so long. (not saying its right or anything, just what it is)
So whether benign or not, Ted might have a problem. The article on Conservative Treehouse is of course blown up for full magnification because its a pro-trump site. Be that as it may...One political cartoon in a major daily paper with Ted girdled up in the armor with snakes at his feet and whatever might not do well to get all the votes needed to win not only the primaries, but the general where we need cross overs to get the magical numbers to defeat the fraud.
But it really won’t matter anyway. Because the GOPe have rigged the whole front end of the primary process to prevent someone like Cruz to get enough delegates to win the convention. Even for Trump its pretty dicey. He might be the only one to blow through the crap the GOPe has set up to get one of their boys down our throats. But then again, Trump may not be able to do it. He will have a lot of delegates, but the boys in the back room have more hidden away in shoe boxes and laundry hampers to pull out when needed.
Anyway, that was the point in posting the article. Now it really is good night folks....good night folks.
