how dare the media report facts about attention-seeking conservatives! Don’t they know they’re supposed to imitate Fox News Channel and tailor their reporting to accord with GOP talking points?

I’m always just a bit amazed, even as a nonbeliever, that this man can call people “liar” or “unprincipled” and not burst into flames on the spot as demons rise up and drag him to hell.

He is still trying to hold on to those outsider coattails but is slipping fast.

if he knew that he wouldn’t catch flack for this, this would be a perfect tune for a Trump campaign rally

Maybe ‘Governor half-term quit and tweet’ shouldn’t have made it a campaign issue if she didn’t want anyone to report on it.

I don’t disagree with “leave the kids out of it” as a general rule. However, once that loser Palin tried to pin it on Obama, it became fair game.

"It’s dirty, it’s unprincipled, it’s wrong, and I’m sorry that Sarah and her family are going through it.” (Sen. Ted Cruz)

Keep on tryin’, Ted. You pissed off Sarah somehow, and I don’t think any amount of sweet talk will get you anywhere near that carpet again – she’s done found herself a real man now … just as loud and obnoxious as you but with a bigger bank account!

Oh, btw, it’s totally okay to report on police activities. The police were called in, reports filed, etc., you know how it works.

“You should leave our family members out of it,” Cruz said. "It’s dirty, it’s unprincipled, it’s wrong, and I’m sorry that Sarah and her family are going through it.”

Now is a good time to ask him about his previous votes or viewpoints on domestic violence.

“When my own son is going through what he goes through coming back, I can certainly relate with other families who kind of feel these ramifications of some PTSD and the woundedness that our soldiers do return with,” Palin told the crowd. “It makes me realize more than ever it is now or never for the sake of America’s finest that we have that commander in chief who will respect them and honor them.”

Ted?

Just laying the groundwork for his own children. Look what Palin spawned, this guy must be raising serial killers.

I don’t know . . . If I had a child that beat the shit out of his girlfriend and threatened to commit suicide with a machine gun, media reports would be the least of my concerns.

Hey Ted! Tell us all about your depressive wife! You know, what you plan to do to garner a sympathy vote at some point . . .

“You should leave our family members out of it,”

Out of what? Reporting about their own publicly available criminal arrest and prosecution records?

Anyone know if Cruz’s nose is crooked from sticking it up Jabberwocky Barbie’s ass crack?

Leave the kids out of it? This from the man who used his 7 yr old in a nasty ad about Clinton ?

These people have no mirrors.
