If I could I would happily travel back in time and give his father a truckload of condoms.

Somehow I get the feeling we’ll be hearing about a campaign intern who sparked Ted’s interest in using contraceptives.

Ted, sweetie. You must apply the rubber to prevent pregnancy.

…and to extrapolate further-------with how many wo/men did you have sex, you dirty Xian? Any Tedlets out there? Or did you pay for their abortions?

Sounds like Ted Cruz thinks he can win the GOP nomination by topping Carson and Trump in idiocy and outrageousness.

Hell, he might even be right.

You understand that his bottom line position is contraception is a male prerogative. Essentially it is an argument that men should have dominion over all sexual choices. Cruz is anti equality for women.

Who needs rubbers when you got a douche bag like Ted?

Sorry, Ted. Some women prefer contraception that is more reliable and want to make certain that they are protected. And they need access to doctors to provide gynecological care. It is the 21st century, not the 19th century which you prefer.

That mental image of Cruz and condoms is truly frightening and hard to dispel from this woman’s mind!

Interestingly, who is ultimately responsible for, and decides whether or not to actually use, a rubber? Oh, that’s right, the man.

So “pro-life” Roman Catholic anti-choice Cruz is suddenly pro-contraception?

I love Cruz’s amnesia/deflection that the anti-choice crowd hates the Griswold v. Connecticut ruling which was explicitly about contraception and upon which Roe v. Wade is based.

But of course the bigger irony is that the single biggest provider of birth control (including “rubbers”) is… wait for it… Planned Parenthood.

Edit: Struck-out the incorrect statement that Cruz was Roman Catholic (h/t Austin Dave)

The thought of Ted Cruz having sex is the most effective form of contraception.

Thanks, now I’m thinking about the size if the wet spot that moist bastard leaves. Don’t know if even boner pills will help me after that image.

Sadly, his “joke” about taking away birth control isn’t very funny, especially given the recent anti-abortionist terrorism in Colorado. Obviously there is a group that wants to take that right away, and it’s NOT the feds.
