Just how dangerous is Ted Cruz?

[EriktheRed]

He's about as dangerous as Palin. Not much because people already perceive him as a loon, just like her.

That's the way it might look now, but by all accounts he's super-smart. IOW, he still shouldn't be taken lightly.

Yeah, well........Obama is considered the "smartest president evah!" and look how that turned out. The guy can't find his ass with both hands.

I recall a lot of us who didn't like Shrub back when he was in the White House making a lot of jokes calling him a dunce. I remember a lot of his supporters saying, "Well, he was smart enough to beat you Libs and get re-elected".


How does it feel to have the shoe on the other foot?

I was highly critical of Bush. So much so that many of the posters here considered me a JakeFakey on another board that will go unnamed. Truth is, as ready as I was to see Bush go, I'd take him back in a heart beat over the Obama cluster.

Well, besides the fact that he was smart enough to get re-elected, he also had a good amount of help from his ODS-suffering opposition (which i guess you could also say about Shrub back in '04).

4 more years and Obamacare is here to stay.

You should be careful what you wish for. Once you get it, it isn't always what it's cracked up to be......like 4 more years of Obama and his healthcare. I pray we can survive his admin and have enough left over to turn things around when he is gone.

Well as Obama said this past week - the ACA wasn't meant to stand as is. It was a starting point. However, nobody is trying to make changes and improve it, they're just trying to end it.

[dcraelin]

and Drudge report says today that Hillary just got paid $400,000 from Goldman Sachs for back-to-back speeches. These people are pulling strings on both "sides" of the major partys,...the puppet partys

And the guano didn't fall far from the bat -

WATCH: Ted Cruz's Dad Calls US a "Christian Nation," Says Obama Should Go "Back to Kenya" | Mother Jones

In April, Rafael Cruz, the father of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), spoke to the tea party of Hood County, which is southwest of Fort Worth, and made a bold declaration: The United States is a "Christian nation." The septuagenarian businessman turned evangelical pastor did not choose to use the more inclusive formulation "Judeo-Christian nation." Insisting that the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution "were signed on the knees of the framers" and were a "divine revelation from God," he went on to say, "yet our president has the gall to tell us that this is not a Christian nation…The United States of America was formed to honor the word of God." Seven months earlier, Rafael Cruz, speaking to the North Texas Tea Party on behalf of his son, who was then running for Senate, called President Barack Obama an "outright Marxist" who "seeks to destroy all concept of God," and he urged the crowd to send Obama "back to Kenya."

Where do these froot loop tee potties get the idea that "The United States of America was formed to honor the word of God"?

And, Obama is a "Marxist"?? The nutters here say he's "commie" and "Socialist".

Not one of them has ever even picked up a dictionary.

Is Ted a birther like his daddy?

More and more, I'm hoping the Rs are dumb enough to trot this twerp out for their prez candidate. It will be jocularity on top of jocularity!

 

[Rozman]

He seems to be scaring a few at MSNBC.
Chris Mathews has been going after him every night for weeks now.
And Al Sharpton has been going after Cruz as well but with less fervor.

 

[whitehall]

Get your perspective straight lefties. Accused rapist Bill Clinton was (and still is?) dangerous. Senator Ted Cruz is merely engaging in the Constitutional arena of checks and balances.

Rafael Cruz is a private citizen. So far, he can say what he likes. Unfortunately for democrats Mr. Cruz Sr., is way more popular than his son is.

He's not pretending to be an outsider, he's correctly claiming to not be a democrat. Democrats equate jobs with being insiders working for evil employers. Cruz never said that.

 

[Dot Com]

Yeah, I heard his old man blathering on about Rafael Jr.

As long as we're on the subject, what side of the cuban revolution did Rafael fight on again?
