Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) has been dogged on the campaign trail here in Iowa by a curious protester: a young man holding a sign that states, "Ted Cruz likes Nickelback."
Nickelback is a Canadian band that has become synonymous with bad musical taste.
The protester appeared at various Cruz events earlier this month and photos of him holding the sign have gone viral. Saturday, he showed up outside a rally hosted by Cruz's super PAC. He was dressed in a Royal Canadian Mounted Police uniform and stood behind Canadian flags he placed in the ground, as well as a picture of Cruz's face inside a maple leaf - very similar to an image put in an ad by a super PAC supporting Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.)
The young man would not give his name or his affiliation, despite boasting that photos of him have whipped around the Internet, and that one appeared on the front page of The Wall Street Journal. "They're both Canadian," the man said. He also handed out copies of Cruz's birth certificate. "I just don't want, really, a Canadian in office. It seems like he's got a lot of controversy behind him whether he's a U.S.-born citizen or not and I'm just out here making a statement."
Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Nickelback is also from Alberta. The band weighed in on the sign earlier this month.

Maybe you can answer my question, please.
All evening I’ve tried to find out how many folks went to the Beck/Cruz rally in Waterloo. Have you seen any photos of the crowd or read numbers of attendees?
I know it wasn’t yuge or we’d have heard all night.
Methinks its last call for Cruzahol...
See post 4 and a few others in this thread...

I like Rush, who cares?
Liked Niel Merryweater and Lynn Carey as well.

I remember back when I was a child, I considered Beethoven to be 'bad musical taste'. Then I grew up and realized that was just my peers talking.
What Nickelback has to do with politics at all is way, way beyond my comprehension.
Anyway, should you care, take a listen to this, you might like it.
I like Nickelback. Where do they get this bad musical taste thing from?
I guess because Nickelback is from Canada; Cruz is supposed to like them or something. That’s a big stretch.
thx...
I love Nickelback!
Good choice of song :)
Just stupid political talk
In the silly season they would call Jesus a liar.

Here are two foreign geeks playing cellos. Boring, right ?
This local article says 2000
So... this is ironically Cruz’s Waterloo?
FOUR CELLOS - Emil and Dariel - Live with 2CELLOS (LIVE performing THUNDERSTRUCK by AC/DC)
Is that like the liberal tactic of deciding what one believes, then going back and cherry picking a trail of associations that support only that conclusion ?
