The right wingers are being sucked in by Cruz, just like the left wingers were sucked in by Obama. All that both men really wanted was to be the most powerful man on the planet. Look, these men who want that job are just power hungry, and that trumps all things. So, when they have to sell their soul to get the 42 billionaires to finance their run for office, that isn't a big deal, for they didn't really have principles to begin with, outside of being the most powerful man on the planet. The problem we have is a very deep and dangerous one. The libs and the cons actually believe that their man will actually make a difference, in the daily lives of americans, on the positive side. And that simply cannot happen for both entrenched parties are owned by the elites, who are not interested in your, the average American, except for shoving their hands deeper into your pocket so they can add your money to their pile of wealth they sit on and hoard, for some sense of security. Now the game goes like this...each party will offer up a candidate, that is already owned and owes the elites great favors, which manifest as policy. But in order to get average people to vote them in, requires promises, and lies, and a theatrical act that can fool the voter, by appealing to their emotions. Emotions are more powerful than rationality, logic, reason. And there are great emotions involved in tribalism, the left, the right. So you guys are easy picking, and so easy to be exploited in your own ignorance of reality. If anyone votes for the D or the R, this is evidence that you live in ignorance, and that emotions dictate your existence. Only idiots would think that Cruz is what this nation needs. What this nation needs is a 3rd party, and the removal from office all d's and r's. For neither of these represent the American people. But you will go on with your petty emotional differences, and you will get the gov't that you really do deserve.
You do realize that just about all those items you listed are very liberal ideas. Why, in a decade or two, you will be listing Obamacare is one of those things you are very proud of. Ted Cruz would turn this country into Mexico Norte.
and if he is surprisingly quite, that is because it's going great and he doesn't want to say that out loud.....
Cruz is nothing like Bush. That is a bridge you libbies will have to cross some day. - - - Updated - - - Is there a SINGLE big government program that anyone is actually proud of? Is Obama proud that he has 50 million people on food stamps?
Everybody sing! "The wheels of the clown car go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels of the clown car go round and round..."
Holy derpness, Batman. He's both. Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz is the junior United States Senator from Texas. Elected in 2012 as a Republican, he is the first Hispanic or Cuban American to serve as a U.S. Senator from Texas
ffs.... The United States Census uses the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino to refer to "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race." Here... some weekend reading for ya.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic_and_Latino_Americans
Dont know, dont care. Is he highly intelligent? Yes. Do I like his ideas? Yes. Do I think he would make a great leader? You bet. Passes my colorblind dont-give-a-crap-about-race test. But I guess that makes me racist to not care about race? That makes a ton of sense.
Hispanic is a form of Latino. Latino means descended from Latin speaking ancestors. This includes Spain. Now, he is half cuban, which is a Hispanic nation. Therefore, he is partly Hispanic.
Ted Cruz is a white Cuban. He's as white as Scott Walker or Jeb Bush. What, did you think speaking Spanish or being of Cuban descent somehow makes him less white?
One of the definitions for thw word penalty is that it is a tax. You are defining the word penaltiy by your own definition whereas the President was not using any definition specifically. it was being very vague. And hence the problem. How can someone lie when they are using a different definition than you are? However, if you read the actual bill and sections 9001 through 9016, you will discover that the penalty was in deed a tax in application even though it was not being labeled that way by the President.
I agree that Cruz is no Bush, but Cruz is also no Ronald Reagan or George Washington either. He thinks he is, but he is not. Not even close. DARPA, FDIC, Depatment of Education, Department of Agriculture, ATF, FBI, IRS, and a few others.
your out of the loop, because you watch the wrong news. the liberal media has you way behind the ball. try to keep up ok? ....
Cruz is racially white. Hispanic is not a race. So yes, he is a white hispanic, and in terms of race, he's a white man. Obama is bi-racial, but right wing racists see him as black. Not hard to figure out. - - - Updated - - - The heck are you babbling about?
Just because hispanics or latino's are not officially a race, it doesn't mean you aren't a bigot when you are discriminating against them! Hell, many liberals on here think if you are speaking out against muslims, you are a racist.
Because when right wingers think of "Muslims", everyone knows they are talking about the ones who aren't white. Hence all this talk about "destroying white culture". But you are right, there are white Muslims.
So Manu Ginobili and Tiago Splitter are black because they play basketball and have hung out with Obama?
Nah, I'm right because islam is a religion, not a race. And many libs are too ignorant to understand that.
I know that Islam is not a race... But if your average right winger views it that way also, why all this talk about "white culture" being destroyed?
Obama self identifies publicly as black. I dont blame him, it helps him politically time and time again. He identifies as black even though he has more white blood running through his veins....that is no accident.
He is the smartest man on that list and would probably be the smartest President in this countrys history. What is to be proud of with ANY of those except the FBI.
