So if he’s not making it up, then it’s time for the guys in the white suits with the straight jacket. Why is it whenever I hear this man spew such crap that I’m reminded of F. Murray Abraham in the movie “Amadeus?” Only in this case Cruz would be patron saint of teh curaaaazeee!

Warning! Ted Cruz’ mind has been repealed.
Absolutely NO SHAME whatsoever. Ted Cruz will gleefully lie through his teeth, knowing he is lying, happy he is lying, thrilled that all it takes to fill the campaign coffers in one BIG FAT JUICY LIE.

Or enforcing the separation of state and church by having some of these fine religious folk lose their tax exempt status the next time they babel on from the pulpit about who their flock should vote for.

Freedom of speech, freedom of and FROM religion!! Division OF church and state!
Wouldn’t THAT be lovely?

Cruz was speaking to pastors at a Family Research Council conference
Of course he was, because who else would accept this cockamamie bullshit as fact other than right-wing religious fanatics, bigots and shills?

Is this an audition to replace Colbert after Colbert splits for the Letterman gig?

I weep for what this says about institutions of higher learning that this mouth breathing troglodyte received a university degree.

Oh, I think he knows exactly what he’s doing. I can’t quite think of the word for it but he is taking the loosest possible basis in truth for ANY subject matter and applying a good white washed coat of rhetoric to it so’s he can gin up the lowest informed of the electorate and get his name back in the news again. This is one smart-as-fox-shyster, here.

I looked up what Cruz said and then checked out the First Amendment in the Declaration of Independence. And, dag-nabbit! He’s right!
I knew a kid when i was growing up who would tell a huge whopping lie and then say immediately “…and I ain’t lyin’ either!”
Same as Ted.

A sure sign of tanking ratings, you can almost smell the desperation.

I’d say one way to describe it is “begging the question,” with arguments based on a premise that isn’t self-evidently true and hasn’t been proved. Here he’s implicitly saying that the Supreme Court’s rulings equating campaign donations with free speech aren’t controversial or questioned, and then he again implicitly says that Congress, by seeking to amend the Constitution to reverse this absurd and oligarchical ruling, is trying to control political speech. He’s taking a spider-thread of truth and hanging ten tons of invalid conclusions from it. Only partisans or dopes could believe it, but that’s good enough for Ted.

By holding in Citizens United and McCutcheon that money not only is speech, it overwhelms speech, the First Amendment has already been partially repealed by th USSC.
