Pretty creepy. I wish I hadn’t read that.

Yes, little girl, your world is on fire…and Uncle Cruz brought the hot dogs to roast over your future.

Class act. Couldn’t put the fear-mongering aside even for a moment for a 3 year old.

It would appear that aside from the little girl everyone in that room was full of shit.

“As a huge Ted Cruz supporter, I said to her ‘He will be the one that
will put that fire out.’ So she looked at him like he’s a hero,”

Maybe, among his other talents, Ted flatulates halons.

OMFG…this mom is an idiot if she thinks Carnival Cruz is a fucking fireman. He’s the fucking arsonist…and he didn’t think twice about terrifying your little 3 year old knowing she was present and listening. Hate to break it to you but he’s Uncle Creepy, lady.

Have no fear, her Teatroll mother has strapped a funnel to her face so the filling can begin. Indoctrination is a helluva drug…

mattinpa · March 16, 2015, 1:54pm

No, sweetie. The only fire involves that man’s elegantly tailored pants.

Rafael is a sociopath: You don’t treat any child like that. No empathy, no kindness.

Thanks to that darkie in the White House, the little girl will never have the joy of losing her health insurance. The horror!

Fear that is all Republicans have. Most people stop listening when your fear rhetoric reaches 11 and loses touch with reality. There are always those, like the 3 year old, who remain afraid, very afraid, but after a while, when the world doesn’t end, many people move on.

So now Ted “The Human Rain Cloud” Cruz is sowing fear amongst children??? Really??? The guy is tone deaf, inappropriate, and on a self-righteous, fear binge!!

“The Obama economy is a disaster.”

Was Cruz alive in late '08? Does he really think things are worse now?

ralph_vonholst · March 16, 2015, 2:10pm

“The Obama economy is a disaster. Obamacare is a train wreck and the
Obama-Clinton foreign policy of leading from behind – the whole world’s
on fire.”

I give him this: as tent-revival style rhetoric, it’s at once, both impressively emphatic and absolutely insane. One wonders when he’ll decide to pull out the rattlesnakes to wave them around.

slagathor · March 16, 2015, 2:10pm

No one does “Fuckwad” like Ted “The Fireman” Cruz. What a choad.

darrtown · March 16, 2015, 2:10pm

What a heartless jerk this guy is. File under “Compassionate Conservatism” I guess.

canadian · March 16, 2015, 2:11pm

And this ladies and gentlemen is how the fuckery lives on.

Yes, little girl. We’re going to gut your education. Then, we’re going to make sure you never earn a livable wage or are ever able to pay for a higher education. Sound cool? Well, from there, we’re going to make sure we just sit on our hands when you’re unable to afford healthcare when you get sick, then as you age we’ll make sure all those things that allowed your parents to thrive in their later years, like Social Security and Medicare, aren’t available as you retire. But if you’re really lucky, we’ll even let you or your future husband die in the Middle East somewhere fighting for no reason!

Deal? Just make sure you vote Republican!
