Discussion: Cruz: I Blame Obama For Carson's Muslim Comments

What is the german translation for a face that cries out for a bullet? (just kidding FBI)

Hey, welcome to the club! Many years ago, while living on the Left Coast, I uttered some pretty nasty comment about the then-president (year was 2002, I believe). I was on the phone with my sister. Yes, the comment was graphic and gross. It was not a threat, but said in a ā€œthis oughtta happenā€ sort of way. Literally, my sister and I both hear a series of loud clicks. From then on, my phone was bugged. I havenā€™t noticed it in a few years now, but it went on for at least a decade. While still living in San Francisco, I also remember one day going through my t-shirt and underwear drawers thinking, god dang, Iā€™m never this messy (Iā€™m a neat freak). It dawned on me that it was pretty likely my apartment had been visited when I was out running errands, etc. This happened about a week after my conversation with my sister. I really am not a paranoid kinda guy, so I actually believe it happened. Who knows, though.

You know the quickest way to get a FBI file on you?

Call up the FBI and asked if they have one on you. They will start one immediately.

I believe that.

Is it any wonder the members of his own party hate the guy?

You can count on Rafael Cruz for two things - 1) doing something the rest of the party doesnā€™t want to do that is guaranteed to make all of them look bad (ie. yet another poorly planned shutdown) and 2) blame Obama for everything else, even if he had nothing to do with it. So much for that personal responsibility.

@oregon100 The most punchable face in politics" is especially punchable 'cause it appears above the caption ā€œFormer VP Dick Cheney is hereā€ along with the face of the biggest Dick of all time.

Has there ever been a more punch-able face in the history of humankind?

"The broader question, and what I think Ben was trying to get at

The broad question he was trying to get at was whether or not the Muslim faith is antithetical to American values and whether or not a Muslim should be allowed President. He said, ā€œno.ā€ There was nothing vague or unclear to parse. It was clear.

is what are the consequences been in the last six and a half years of the Obama presidency?" Cruz stated.

The consequences of Muslim extremism? Well, Bin Laden is dead. Drones have been used on others (making many people uncomfortable in the process), and air strikes/other offenses have been used in various circumstances. So, please, stop pretending like heā€™s favorable to Muslim extremists and persecuting members of his own faith (Christians).

Alas, Iā€™m sure these comments will never be taken to task by an actual mainstream media member and called out for the bullsh** they are.

ā€œThe Constitution says there shall be no religious test for holding
public office, and Iā€™m a constitutionalistā€¦ā€

Words not said when he tried to crash the Kim Davis feet-kissing-athon. So Iā€™m guessing he means you can be any religion to get the office and one you have the office, use your religion to refuse to do the job. Got it.

What else would you expect to hear from the King of the TexAssHoles?

ā€œWhat are the consequences been in the last six and a half years of the Obama presidency?ā€

Um . . . what?

Iā€™ve never heard anything so stunningly illiterate, on both a structural and substantive level. This comment has absolutely no basis in English or in reality. It doesnā€™t make sense on the most basic, primitive level. And yet other Republicans will allow this tripe to stand as though it offers some strangely prophetic truth.

THIS is precisely why the election of any Republican currently presenting themselves as an elective option means the end of civilization as we know it.

Iā€™m starting to think that Cruz is not even a Christian. He has just decided that playing the poor victim as a Christian works better than any other schtick he has.

ā€œAnd President Obama gave a speech. I was sitting at the prayer breakfast where he said, ā€˜listen, yes, ISIS is committing acts of terrorism but Christians and Jews have committed acts of terror as wellā€™ and invoked the Crusades and the Inquisition,ā€ Cruz said on Fox. "Last I checked the Crusades ended 900 years ago. I donā€™t think itā€™s asking too much to ask this President to stay in the current millennia,

Now I had this spiel about what happened this millennia, when a Republican president was in charge and Islam was the primary subject, but Iā€¦

ā€˜reasonsā€™

However hereā€™s a quick history lesson in regards to the Crusades.

There were a total of nine crusades and aside from the fifth (eight years total) and seventh (six years total) crusades, the majority of these engagements didnā€™t last long (four years max.).

The Iraq war had an eight year time span. I donā€™t think Cruz should talk about the earlier part of this century in regards to foreign policy.

It would be a very bad idea.

$100 says Cruz drops out next.

But, then who will represent the Lollipop Guild?

So Ted Cruz wants President Obama to stop talking about something that happened 900 years ago, while he continues to cite something that happened 2000 years ago as his justification for everything. Does he know how time works?

somebody ought to ask this fraud if he can name any bad thing that isnā€™t obamaā€™s fault.

He has no chance of getting the nomination to become president. He and Scott Walker understand that. Walker did the smart thing and bailed early. But Ted Cruz is like the last fart before the turd pops out. Heā€™ll hang around and stink things up as long as he can.

Republican presidential candidate and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said on Monday that President Obama is to blame for GOP rival Ben Carsonā€™s comment about Muslims.

President Obama seems to have an extraordinary talent - heā€™s responsible for absolutely everything that happens, anywhere on the planet.
