Cruz…I know you’re getting millions from the guys who don’t care if the planet turns into a cinder…but you’re wrong. Crying about how the scientists are supposedly faking this is just pathetic.

What’s even worse than his existence is that millions listen to him as if he were human. We’re fried. Just look at him, the shill who is totally sold out. Definitely a threat to our survival and the mortal enemy of all life. I hope he pays for his b.s. that is more than just b.s. anymore. He’s basically a homicidal maniac and needs to be dealt with accordingly.

Poor Ted…Back in daily soundbite mode all pasty and refreshed but he just isn’t crazy enough to compete with the winger Conrad Birdie of imaginary news, the Donald (now in statesman mode).

“They’re cooking the books. They’re actually adjusting the numbers,” Cruz said, adding that scientists were reverse engineering their data. “Enron used to do their books the same way.”

Because tens of thousands of climate scientists have nothing better to do with their time than to organise themselves, on an international level, into a secret cabal; make up phony observations and statistical results; and rig the peer review process for the express purpose of trolling and annoying Republicans while inflating the value of alternative energy stocks held by Obama and the other members of the Illuminati.

Lying to liars lying to themselves. But will it get you elected president? Nope.

Uh Teddy, perhaps you should leave the analysis of scientific data to the scientists. Your cluelessness defines you.

For the GOP, where everything is an “agenda” and the only issues that count are “ISSUES!!” it is almost predictable that the members of such a cult would project these attitudes on those outside such a cult.

To which satellite is he listening? The one that’s revolving around his head?

Actually, most weather satellites are tracking the melting of the polar icecaps. May not be transmitting to the one around his head, but it is happening.

Let him explain the motivation for “scientists” to cook the books about climate change. Is he really against public and private investment in alternative energy sources? How does he feel about continued importing of middle east oil? Aren’t the big fossil fuel companies also pursuing alternative energy R&D? The big players will profit no matter what – but in the meantime, they want to profit as much as they possibly can – climate be damned. So they also invest in buying off ambitious cynical toadies.

He’s in a suit. He doesn’t walk around with an axe. He would piss on himself in a street-fight.

But, yeh…he’s a worse homicidal maniac (in terms of the often fatal damage done to masses of humans) than Ted Bundy ever was.:I mean…shutting down the government to make a TeaBagg point cost the country billions which could have improved the lives of millions of people.

“Hundreds of thousands of deaths” [Cruz] is different than “dozens of deaths” [Bundy]

Actually, he’s really just one of many horrid little men that have, from time to time, been inflicted upon us by the “democracy” of the weak-minded.

No Ted,it was the same industry and class of people you cater to that cooked the books at Enron, and also fucked over the people of California.

NC Steve posited a while back that our politics are now dictated by battle between those on the left side and right side of the Bell Curve.

How I wish that the correlation between I.Q. and voting enthusiasm was not approaching -1.00

““If you look at satellite data for the last 18 years, there’s been zero recorded warming,” Cruz said. “The satellite says it ain’t happening.””

Isn’t that from some study that came out intended to disprove global warming/climate change and then it was widely debunked and spanked by the scientific community? I could swear he’s been repeating that one line for a while and we’ve seen it before in an article here that mentions the source of that talking point.
