Ted Cruz Explained

[Jaskalas]

I lold

Are you high?

No, I wish I was.

So I'll write you down for thinking that a Senator controls the House? Maybe you are high.

 

[dmcowen674]

So Cruz will be running for President and go for Palin as VP again and all the Republinuts in here will be voting for them.

Your anger is misplaced.

Can the OP tell us what Ted Cruz did exactly?

All this fuss started in the House by not funding Obamacare. Only consequential things the Senate did was block the budget and pass Continuing Resolutions.

Did Cruz delay the final vote? No. He acted with honor when time was up. Can the OP face the facts, that the Senator didn't do much of anything? Yes he'd like to, but that doesn't change the fact that you're blaming a Senator for the actions of the House.

Your partisan dogs in the media throw you some red meat with Cruz's name on it and you pounce, even if the facts show you to be baseless.

I hate myself for saying this, well even without saying it, but I sympathize with your feelings. I simply want to tell you how emotionally devastated I am watching liberals treat Cruz like conservatives treat Obama.

... but that doesn't change the fact that you're blaming a Senator for the actions of the House..

Nowhere in my OP do I blame Cruz for the actions of the house.

In fact, I personally don't think Cruz played a primary role in this sad Republican circus. He sure clown-danced and attention-whored like he wanted to, though.

How do I know this? See the following:

Your partisan dogs in the media throw you some red meat with Cruz's name on it...

My partisan dogs? It was a REPUBLICAN who was quoted slamming the Senator in the OP!

Cruz clown-danced so hard that a Republican had to reach into the wilds of lawn rodent reproduction and car washes gone horribly wrong to describe his actions.

If bunny sex is the best description someone on your side of the aisle can come up with to describe your actions, well . . .

Language is an enduring interest of mine, which is why I thought the whack metaphor of an embarrassed Repub operative note worthy. To sum up Castellanos, "Hare today, gone tomorrow."

So I'll write you down for thinking that a Senator controls the House? Maybe you are high.

Nobody has said that in this thread.

Please cease that ridiculous strawman argument.

 

[Jaskalas]

Cruz clown-danced so hard...

That's it? With answer in hand, I'll reply.

Are you for or against what he did?

Damn straight I support Cruz on this subject. Let all Senators and Congressman "clown-dance" - that's what they are there for. They should take a page from our clown-dance President.

This past month showed that the Tea Party will take a stand and fight. The people know who to elect if they want Washington to change. It's a motivator to get out and vote if your representatives will fight.

They're a damn sight better than nominating the likes of Bush, McCain, or Romney.

^^^ A damning indictment on the contemporary Republican party.

So extortion by the minority is now the definition of "stand and fight". Good to know.

I do think it'll motivate voters, probably not the way you think it will.

Extortion by the minority? So then you think w9men and blacks shouldnt have rights? Because they had a minority voice? Having a majority push something through on the minority is something you support?

A minority is a majority that hasn't found independence yet.

Libs only support minority uproar when it is in favor of one of their pet projects/policies...basically their response is shut up and sit down when it comes to the minority trying to go against their own initiatives

When did women or blacks use extortion?

 

[Genx87]

It's a very simple question. Where do you stand on what he did? Are you afraid or embarrassed to answer?

I finid your question irrelevant to what I posted about him being a troll. But Ill answer anyways. I dont support what him or republicans did. They are fighting the fight on the wrong end of the legislative process. And it only damages their capability to push an agenda.

But do you or dont you agree he was trolling our govt for the past two weeks?

 

[Anarchist420]

cruz worked on the bush campaign. he was also one of the 76 senators who supported mccain and graham's waging war against iran.

he wants to run for president in 2016, he is a political opportunist.

why do you support him over secession?

[shadow9d9]

The loony left is doing anything they can to deflect off of Obamacare and to change the narrative of the failure to come, fortunately Cruz gave them all the ammo they need to last for at least a week.

There is no left in this country, so that makes you the looney. Middle/right democrats...

 

[rudder]

Let me get this straight. Nowhere in my OP do I even remotely suggest Ted Cruz will likely have a major impact during the next presidential election, but nevertheless you know I said exactly that . . . because . . . "socialist way of life" and imaginary Sarah Palin armpit hair references from someone else (not me), a couple of years ago, maybe?

It's a good thing you're not smarter or you'd be really embarrassed right now.

Oooh an insult... if I did not value your opinion less than I value a piece of used toiled paper... I might be hurt by that.

I do not have the time nor the inclination to explain my observations on this forum. Just re-read what I responded with a few times. Maybe slowly or have an adult read it to you. In the meantime I will keep tabs on who the left feels is a threat by the number of inane attack threads posted in P&N.

 

[Genx87]

Heh I see this new theme from the left in this country. We are mainstream and Bush is ultra right. What is Clinton then? A libertarians dream? Bush doubles the size of govt and he is a conservative? I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you.

 

[Pens1566]

Lose the "he refuses to negotiate" bs. The ACA as signed into law is proof of his willingness to compromise.

Who claimed Bush was ultra right?

A definition of trolling involves intent. I don't have enough insight into the internal thought process, such as it is, of Sen. Cruz to know.

Tip O'Neill.

Tip O'Neill.

Your kidding right? Half of us weren't even alive back then. If it happened almost two generations ago, it is a false and irrelevant equivalence.

 

[Atreus21]

Understood. History has no place here.

Anyway, the point is you guys are acting like it's unprecedented. It's not. At all. It was a tried and true tactic of the democrats in the 80s.

With members of the Democratic party, you mean.
