Discussion: Ted Cruz Calls For Federal Aid Following Texas Flooding

Discussion for article #236858

Texas should not get a dime in relief until it stops mooching off the Federal teat…that goes for any state where they get more money than they put into the Federal coffers!

So did even one reporter call him out on his gross hypocrisy and double standard? No, of course not. They just fawn over him, gleefully giving the racist a soapbox to spew his blatant racism and anti-science diatribes. Rather than confront it, the media is complicit in the mainstreaming of ignorance and hate.

[Sarcasm mode] But-but-but- he can’t be a racist- he’s Hispanic! He’s Cubano and no body knows suffering like Cubanos. Poor Ted Cruz had to walk a hundred miles in the Canadian snow to attend school! He had to endure belonging to a really awful form of Christianity! He’s Cubano![sarcasm mode off]

I think it is good Cruz produces a lot of footage of inconsistent positions, most people will see and recognize the hypocrisy, and it will come back to haunt him later.

I hope the good folks at places like MoveOn.org and the like are keeping track. These little snippets will make for great campaign footage. Even throw in a pic or two of Crud with the Duggars, for good measure.

You would think Cruz might be pretty hesitant asking the Obama feds for assistance in Texas. I mean, wouldn’t sending boots on the ground there make it just that much easier for our side of the nation to take over Texas and those other unpatriotic red regions? Seriously, Ted, why give in to That One now?–You’re almost there*, dude!

The hypocrisy of Texas tea partiers knows no bounds…Just like Gov Abbott
having an air force base located in his backyard of Wichita Falls even though he doesn’t trust them (he actually does but he has to run again
so he’s got to placate the nutsos)

Yeah … but is he ā€œQuiverfull?ā€ Now, that is a really really awful form of Christianity (as practiced by Duggar Klan, Inc.).

Good catch. Apparently, Ted isn’t aware that the storms and flooding are all part of Obama’s Jade Helm 15 plan to takeover the Lone Star state.

Most, if not all, of his flip flops will be ignored by the media while the primaries are going on. If, however, he did manage to eek out a victory and win the nomination, that attitude will turn on a dime.

Which is why Cruz as the GOP candidate is so laughable. I believe he would struggle with every Democratic candidate/hopeful, not just Hillary. Not only are his positions rejected by the majority of the people, his history of changing fire fights just to be a rebel rouser will further alienate indys and ā€œmiddle of the fenceā€ people, even in his own party.

Hey! I’ve got a solution to the ā€˜problem of Texas’: Why doesn’t the US Military go into Texas and takeover a bunch of Wal-Marts and dig tunnels and build detention camps? And then take away all the ā€˜patriots’ guns and totally take over Texas. That way those poor people wouldn’t have to worry about all these problems.

Would very much like to be able to say ā€œElections have consequences - so, Texas, as a result of having elected this dung beetle, you get nothing - zip - nadda!ā€ but … can’t let Fecal-Ted make us vindictive…

He says that this ā€˜event’ reaches the level of ā€˜magnitude’ needed to trigger a response. But, Sandy, no. ?? Really…

That wouldn’t be fair (anatomy aside), because Texas – as did NY and NJ after Sandy – really does need the money.

What is fair is for Ted and Gov Abbott and all the others to identify the federal benefits flowing to Texas they would cut in order to avoid increasing the deficit. Gotta be revenue neutral, right?
Right.

I have come to expect duplicity and hypocrisy from the occupants of the GOP clown car, but especially from Grifter Extraordinaire, Raphael Cruz.
