This thread is a shill pile of dog-poo;I think I'll step around it.
It does let one know who's who,though. :thumbsup:

Yeah, arming Syrian rebels worked out so well, then abandoning the Iraqi government, the kurds, and failing to back up other countries against China's naked aggression.

There are far more things he can do besides going to war. Dangle declaring China a currency manipulator and reciprocal trade treaties and they'd clean up their act pretty quickly.

Dang why didn't you run for president, you have all the answers.

Next time, would you please not start a thread by tossing in a gratuitous race card? All you accomplished was derailing your own thread, firing up the usual RNC shills by giving them an excuse to ignore the actual story. Cruz is a major league asshat who will say any outrageous thing to pander to his idiot base. Pity that's being largely ignored.

Ignored? It's just so obvious it hardly needs repeating. It's like starting a thread about how Bill Clinton allegedly had a weakness for the ladies. But then, that's all the OP does - create troll threads and then scamper off.

My favorite Senator Cruz moment is the useless filibuster. I'll give him credit that he at least did it the way voters expect it to work. Green Eggs & Ham was a poor choice. Its a story about fighting something you're afraid of then discovering you like it. ACA anyone?

Alleged weakness for the ladies. HA! For the record I'm a big Clinton fan.

The best thing about the Green Eggs & Ham filibuster (and Palin's later use of it for a similar message) is that the conservatives who used it missed the message the even children can grasp.

What a loverly thread, OP drops the "Race" card and hacks come to his rescue/continue with calling anyone who disagrees with the President are doing so based on race.

Props to LegendKiller for his honest assessment posts in the thread. I suspect the DNC will be calling and wanting your Democratic supporter card back. Don't expect any Happy Holiday cards from them this year either.

The reason the race card gets mentioned is because of the intense amount of irrationality that is present in so much of the hate from the right. And irrationality of that level, that hatred for the sake of hatred, is so very prevalent in racism as well. Many on the left have just yet to realize what I have in regards to the right. That in order to be a conservative in America you can't be a rational human being.

No, the race card gets thrown too many times due to the irrational people in the left who can't stand anyone that disagrees with the President . Your post more than proves that some on the left are just as irrational as those on the outer fringes of the right.

Here is an interesting thought. Who would vote for Cruz assuming he said and was sincerely committed to doing everything Bill Clinton said to do?

Such a strawman I hate to point it out but oh well. Nobody here has ever "played the race card" based on policy disagreements.

You have yet to answer the question. Since the FAA makes flight safety issues like this independently was the the intellectual basis for the Cruz rant? Sounds like a dog whistle to me unless you have a better answer. No way in hell the White House called the FAA and said cancel flights to Israel.

BTW - You won't even admit the birther nonsense was based on race.

As for race cards, I'm sure you'll throw yet another one sometime in the near future as it's part of your MO.

I never claimed that the birther crap was legitimate nor supported it, so why would I need to admit anything?

The gist of this thread so far is how among the many reasons why Cruz is such a groveling, myopically opportunistic, power hungry, self-centered, ideologically damaged fanatic and favorite son of the fringe whackjob loonies that adore him for who he is, no one, not even the folks from his own party is defending his actions.

But rather in true fashion, we have some folks retaliating with diversive verbiage initiated by the cerebral conflict between logically fleeing from a train wreck in progress, watching the train wreck occur with the chance of getting injured from flying insults, fighting the urge to satisfy ones sense of morbid curiosity and all this while simultaneously dealing with the fight or flee reflex.

So in that light, at least we can all agree that no one likes Ted Cruz, and we all know what a sleaze ball he is, taking into account how he consistently uses lies, manipulates the hatred emotion like Jimmy Hendrix made passionate love to his guitar and plays pander-ball of the likes that we will probably never see again in our lifetimes.

Ya you were.

Why are you so fucking dumb all the time now? Like seriously?

Just because I used bush's name when describing how dumb, politically motivated, and how much ted lies doesn't mean I was talking about bush. The thread is about ted Cruz, my post was about your hate towards Obama and your lack of hate towards a guy who is much worse for the very reasons you say you hate Obama.

Yes, You referred to Bush right here:

Yes congrats moron! I refered to bush when addressing another posters point. The poster I quoted and who I had a sub conversation with was not about bush.

If you can't follow the flow of conversation on a message board, perhaps you shouldn't bother participating on one.

I hear you. It would be nice, just once, if anyone on the right would just admit that he is in fact a piece of shit. I would then have just the tiniest bit of hope that the Republican Party could make a comeback minus the crazies. But as of now, it looks like the asylum is being ran by the crazy, mentally retarded patients.

It used to be that racists were comfortable being racists and would gladly admit to being so because it was normal and acceptable to be so, but racism has at last and with great effort and suffering by the victims of racism, been properly shown to be a vicious thing. So the prejudice against Black people has changed. People hate them today, not because they are black but because they vote liberal and they voted for a liberal President. Now the effort isn't to keep them in the back of the bus, but away from the poles. So conservatives aren't the bigoted racists they once were, though there is still plenty of that everywhere among self hating folk who need somebody to feel superior too, they have simply moved their bigotry to demonize the left. It's the same self hating inferiority complex at root, but it's a waste of time trying to explain this to them. You can always tell a bigot but you can't tell him much. The conservative brain defect denies facing ego damaging truth even if the denial is dangerous to all of us. The conservative brain is too afraid to see the truth. Everywhere they are threatened by this dangerous and terrifying thing called truth so they live in terror because they know the truth is out there.

Ted will be the greatest gift to the Democratic party since Palin provided he doesn't burn the country down first.

Really? Look at how liberals treat women and black people when believe in conservative values. How dare they actually think for themselves. Or is it just the kind-hearted liberals trying to point out their conservative brain defects for them?

Its possible John McCain could say something. He has occasionally kicked the lunatics in the nuts. Remember when the NSA story broke? Michelle Bachmann went on a rage about how can the President order this spying, how dare he do this on his own. I think her rants went on for two days then John revealed something to the effect of everyone in Congress knows about the program and has been thoroughly briefed. One would have to be asleep or too dumb to understand if they thought otherwise.

I don't think the FAA ban is unreasonable. The EU aviation board issued a caution (IIRC) and a number of airlines voluntarily stopped flights to Israel.

OTOH, I don't have a problem with letting flights continue. The Palestinians don't seem to have any AA missiles expect short range shoulder fired. The rockets they're shooting now are 'dumb' and Israel has the Iron Dome to counteract them.

If your going to Israel, you know the risks anyway. I would think you're much more likely to be blown up walking to a cafe than sitting in a jet aircraft.

OTOH, in the case of Ukraine, those people were not going and I bet none knew (other than flight crew) that they'd be flying over the war zone. Completely different situation (although I'm sure that situation influenced the FAA's decision. That and the rocket that came down near the Israeli airport).
