"I think he is the most talented and fearless Republican politician I’ve seen in the last 30 years"
“I further think that he is going to run for president, and he is going to create something.”
“this guy has no fear. He just keeps plowing ahead. He is going to be something to watch.”
“This guy is something.” And “more talented than all of the other guys.”

Ted Cruz and the Communist threat...
(Cruz) then went on to assert that Obama, who attended Harvard Law School four years ahead of him, “would have made a perfect president of Harvard Law School." The reason, said Cruz, was that, "There were fewer declared Republicans in the faculty when we were there than Communists! There was one Republican. But there were twelve who would say they were Marxists who believed in the Communists overthrowing the United States government."

all sorts of other fun stuff about Cruz...
among them:
1. "Shariah law is an enormous problem" in the United States.
2. he's super proud of the number of people he's sent to their deaths -
3. he's terrified of homosexuals - "When the mayor of a city chooses twice to march in a parade celebrating gay pride, that's a statement. It's not a statement I believe in," he said, in regards to the former mayor of Dallas.

also, there's that whole born in Canada thing. of course, that doesn't disqualify him from the presidency, but i love the irony of someone like Baldwin - and other birthers - being a-ok with Cruz absolutely NOT being born in this country, no question about it.

Actually there is some question as to whether he is native-born. He's a citizen, no doubt, but native-born is a higher standard.

The bar has been broken. Clinton broke it with respect to serial impeachable offenses every week still being acceptable presidential material. Obama obliterated the constitutional requirements that the president not be an anti-american communist outsider and enabler of America's worst enemies. If natural born was there to ensure loyalty, we will now have a permanent double-standard if Republicans are the only ones it applies to.

Could anyone who agrees with, or believes, any part of #9 please speak up?
I typically just skim Boldwin's posts until I realize that I should just skip the rest. #9 is a post of wonder. I can't decide if I should be amazed, hysterical, or terrified.

at one point, i honestly believed one day Baldwin would be the kind of guy who would end up shooting something up in the name of his god and/or political beliefs.
eventually, that transformed into viewing him with a bit of whimsy, and sadness. it's pretty pathetic, but at least has some entertainment value.
i wouldn't be terrified Frick. amazed, and hysterical? yea, those qualify, because it is some amazing and funny stuff.
my two favorite parts:
an anti-american communist outsider and enabler of America's worst enemies
and
serial impeachable offenses every week
definitely amazing, and hysterical. and amusing.

- James Carville
Why Democrats are going after Ted Cruz
When Democratic strategist James Carville goes on national television to acknowledge Cruz’s talents and kinda-sorta suggest Democrats would be scared to run against him, we recognize that as tried-and-true but harmless ratf*cking, to use the technical term.
well, everyone except Baldwin.

So by extension, whenever you recommend a republican as the best choice they have...you are here admitting that you are acting as rat****er when you do.

no more so than you admit to being a pedophile like a handful of members of your church. just because one person says or does something, it doesn't mean everyone does the same.
i want Ted Cruz to run for president, because i don't think he has a chance of winning. Chris Christie on the other hand? he's got a shot.

I can only imagine the love that both sides would have if Palin ran.
The right with one of the iconic radicals, the left knowing there was no way they could lose.

no, it's an analogy, and i tried to use a simple one that you'd understand.
you exclude free thinking in your way of looking at others. you instantly - and often wrongly - presume that because you might share one belief (or multiple beliefs) with someone, you must share ALL beliefs with that person.
i figured the aforementioned analogy would be one that might actually make sense to you.
obviously, you got it.

..."the very junior senator from Texas
There is bipartisan agreement that Cruz doesn't follow the norms of the Senate. He's rude, he doesn't respect his elders, he's "Jim DeMint without the charm," an anonymous Republican senator told The Washington Post's Ruth Marcus. Earlier this month, Cruz recently had a spat with Harry Reid, in which Reid called him "the very junior senator from Texas." Cruz kept saying he was "Reserving the right to object," and Reid responded, "there is no such thing, OK?" Even in the spat over the conference committee, Cruz's fellow senators were not-so-gently suggesting that he doesn't get how the Senate works.

which is EXACTLY why our government is in a gridlock. because people like you don't want our government to function. you'd rather have a clueless dick be your spokesperson.

Keeping government running out of gridlock is not a goal of theirs, tree.
I'm not kidding in #26. And they measure his success at it by how hard it is to get things done.
In years past, Cruz would have been laughed out of either party for being not only a hack, but bad at his job. But they measurement standards have changed for the Far Right: So long as the Democrats continue to somehow push through solutions when the grownups are in the room, they can continue to mark the walls up with crayons and play with their poo.

Latest news from Cruz-land is him getting booed off stage, after trying to make a speech at a group meeting about persecuted Christians into a pro-Israel ralley. A good reaction here, from someone who supports Cruz' postiion on Isreal.
Now, I am no Ted Cruz antagonist. I am a supporter of the Tea Party — it's done, on the whole, a world of good for the Republican Party by reinvigorating it and strengthening it. I even supported Cruz's push to shut down the government to stop ObamaCare implementation. And I am also a full-throated supporter of Israel.
But let's be clear about what Cruz was doing in D.C.: using one of the world's most beleaguered minorities as a prop for his own self-aggrandizement.

Charlie Dent, a Republican Congressman just south of the district here in NE, calls out Cruz as well.
Dent was sitting front row at the speech in question.
"He was speaking to people outside of the building," Dent said. "It was a willful and deliberate confrontation, and very self-serving."

Cruz on ISIS:
"Cruz believes in basing American policy on the most apocalyptic assessment of the ISIS threat. When Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee this week, Cruz did not ask him to analyze the risk ISIS poses to the United States. He asked Dempsey to sketch the “worst-case scenario” that ISIS could possibly present. Then Cruz took to the airwaves to chastise the White House for not recognizing the severity of the danger."

But the liberals were right about Reagan in the end.
I mean he sold missiles to the Mullahs in Iran after they had held American citizens hostage for 444days.
