What good is being rational or humane when he can demagogue this issue into cash and prizes for his miserable campaign.
Well…Ill bet that one goes to waste. There will be scant mention of it in the MSM but Ill bet by Democrats too. It should be pounded on by Dems as it paints a true image of Cruz…a sleazy poll with his finger in the wind. No solutions, no policy, no leadership just politics. Everything we don’t need in America.
Watch it slip away in just a few days.
One of the advantages of having absolutely no shame, combined with a conniving mind, is the ability to fool a great many people.
In the case of Cruz, however, this will be his undoing. Some days ago, I read a post by Plucky stating that Cruz came across very negatively, in spite of his ability to schmooze.
I have seen a great many posts and blogging using the word “smarmy” describing Cruz. It is not a commonly used adjective. I have never ever seen that word so consistently applied to someone running for Office in the Executive Branch. If, by chance, Cruz does get the nomination (which I doubt) Hillary’s so-called “trust” issue would vanish, if only by comparison.
Flip, flop, flip, flop…
TeddyMan Kyling?
Of course even the fact that Daesh (aka ISIL) has killed and tortured more Muslims than non-Muslims, totally escapes the intrepid bigot and idiot, Mr. Cruz Missle.
Closet Liberal!
When will he come out?
I don’t think the “Cruz Missile” thing a wise remark. Cruz missiles are very sophisticated, powerful and almost always right on target.
zlohuc: but pandering is his best personality trait. what’s a mother to do? gotta go with what you know.
Point taken.
This is your brain:
We have to continue to be vigilant to make sure those coming are not affiliated with a terrorist, but we can do that… welcomed refugees – the tired huddled masses – that has been the history of the United States. We should continue to do so.
This is your brain on GOP:
the Secretary of Homeland Security may not admit any refugee based solely on the assertions of the refugee. DHS cannot simply take the refugee’s word for it.
Because that’s why it takes so long to process the asylum requests… you know… it takes so long for the refugees to come up with a good story.
all this BS has nothin to do with refugee’s be they Syrian or swahilli or Mexican it’s .just another way they have figured out how to thrash the president and a bunch of chicken shits to talk like there so dammed tough…if it wasn’t this it would be somethin else …they have soooo much time on their hands doin nothin but bitchin and moanin and wastein time and money
What I like the most is that even under his more accepting statement, it’s cold war equivalent would have kept him out of the US
We have to continue to be vigilant to make sure those coming are not affiliated with a
terroristCommunist, but we can do that
That is a test his dad would have failed.
Christmas Message
I believe you’ll be proven right… Democrats—including Obama—typically don’t utter a squeak when the most obvious opportunities fall into their lap to bash Republicans. The typical justification given is “Oh, we’re better than that…” or “Nobody pays attention…” Meanwhile, whenever a Democrat says something remotely controversial to the nutters, it’s a five-alarm rotating Drudge headline and screaming on Fox News—which is watched in waiting areas and reception rooms and lobbies all over the country. The one saving grace in this is that everybody who knows Cruz even superficially despises the greasy, smarmy weasel.
It’s more likely that Cruz will be bashed on this by one of his Republican opponents, like Rubio.
The man makes snake oil salesmen look good. Used car salesmen look like saints compared to Cruz. Smarmy, Sleazy, Miss Graham, and John “I talk a better game than I govern” all are reasons to get out the vote…for the Democratic Party.
Cruz has challenged Obama to “insult me to my face.”
I would…but your face beat me to it.
See, I can be just as juvenile as Ted Cruz.
In a sane universe, Cruz would be the best motivator ever to double Democratic turnout.
