Ted Cruzin’ For a Political Bruisin’

Great minds think alike, Beatlex!

» Posted By AdLib On March 25, 2015 @ 10:24 am

Funk – I don’t know that it makes him dangerous since it’s so apparent to all but the Moronic Minority in the Tea Party that already support him, that he is a fraud who has only one lyalty, to his own self-aggrandizement.

I mentioned this below, he is not appealing to even a meaningful amount of Repubs, let alone Indies and Dems. He looks like a greasy scam artist to most Americans and the more he campaigns, the clearer that will be.

Cruz may have a big public forum to spout his calculated hatreds but he’s offering tuna flavored ice cream for free and most Americans won’t take a bite of that no matter how aggressively he sells it.

“Twenty years from now if there is some obscure trivial pursuit question, I am confident I will be the answer.”

He didn’t mention what the question would be but using my time machine, I found it:

“What reviled, lying douche of a Senator lost the 2016 GOP Presidential primary so badly that he destroyed his career and is totally forgotten today?”

Well done, ppo!

ppo – The mindless Americans looking to blindly follow blatant frauds to hate others are already enlisted by the GOP. There’s nothing attractive about the GOP or ISIS that appeals to the majority of Americans who have a crumb of reason.

Cruz is even disliked broadly in the GOP, his polling is in the low single digits when up against the rest of the loonies running for the GOP nom.

He’s not a potential time bomb that could explode, he’s a dud.

Kalima, there is a resemblance! Also to so many other people and fictional characters, Joseph McCarthy of course, Elmer Gantry and a trained chimp as I mentioned below, Jon Lovitz’ The Liar character from SNL, snake oil salesmen and of course, cockroaches.

And you know what the birthmark says that is under Ted Cruz’s hairline, “Sick Sick Sick”.

Kes, love the “Clue” bit!

Yes, that is hilarious about that domain, what would be even funnier would be to post a faux campaign site at that address that completely denigrates him and his campaign.

Very Good! How about this one?

CL, really like your POV on this. This is the launch of a very entertaining and favorable election season for Dems.

Can you imagine how extreme those in the GOP primary will have to get to outmaneuver each other to be farther right? How will Cruz, Rick Perry, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum, etc. get further right than the other without going fully insane?

As I mentioned, the toughest race for Dems would be having a Repub primary with candidates who seemed sensible and reasonable, even if it was a charade such as Bush pulled on America. So in the end, it is for the best to have these wackjobs representing the GOP.

And it should help scare out plenty of Dem and Indie voters to make sure they don’t get elected.

Compared to what I think we’ll see, Palin will look like a moderate!

KT, that is a good one!

And sorry about the spam experience, it even happened to me! We are trying to tweak our security software, you shouldn’t get that screen again.

slm, there were a row of students in the audience there with “Ready For Rand” t-shirts. No doubt many favor Huckabee instead of Cruz.

And yes, any student subjected to the propagandized experience of going to Liberty University should be resentful…let alone being used as pawns and props in mandatory attendance at purely political events.

What other University would threaten students to support a politician’s rally or be fined? This is the fascism that RW Christian extremists would want spread across the country under “their” president.

Murph, Ted Cruz is a fraud, the role he plays is that of being a voice of the Republican base but if he thought it would get him power and higher office, he would join ISIS.

He’s a huckster, he talks like one, he has the slick look of one and he offers easy answers to complex problems while demonizing any who don’t share the political beliefs of those he’s pandering to.

Does Ted Cruz really believe in anything other than glorifying Ted Cruz? I don’t think so. He’s simply charted a course that he believed would be his best path to power and wealth and he’s committed to it.

But I don’t think he believes in what he says, it’s all just a means to an end. His end, hopefully right after his crash and burn candidacy for President.

Nirek, sure hope that the Dems aren’t shy about reminding voters about that and tying it to all the Repub candidates since none of them opposed the shutdown.

Nice one, Haruko! One of my faves!

Here’s some footage from Ted Cruz’s announcement today…he’s the one introduced by Burt Lancaster:

47 GOP Senators Write Love Letter to Ares, God of War

My pleasure, slm!

» Posted By AdLib On March 16, 2015 @ 11:15 pm

Excellent, ppo!

» Posted By AdLib On March 16, 2015 @ 11:15 pm

ExFan, here’s hoping Bibi gets bupkis in the election! Since he’s also the apparent leader of the GOP, that would be a sweet loss for them too!

» Posted By AdLib On March 16, 2015 @ 11:14 pm

Thanks KT!

» Posted By AdLib On March 16, 2015 @ 11:12 pm

Nirek, as you say, 47 is the Romney percent of Americans Repubs despise, the number of Repub Senators who signed that letter and coincidentally, their average IQ.

Thanks GreenChica!

ExFan. sorry about that! We’ve been adjusting our security software, please invite these folks to try again, they shouldn’t be blocked now.

The Grand Old Party of Sedition

KT, these latest acts of treason, bringing in Netanyahu to speak on the floor of the Congress against our President and sending a letter to our adversary to undermine our Constitution’s separation of powers and give aid and comfort to the hardliners in Iran who hate America most, have only alienated the GOP from all but the most blindly faithful.

I wrote about this before the 2014 elections, the worst thing that could happen to Repubs is to give them power because they’d only abuse it and destroy their image for the rest of the nation.

Who in their right mind would vote for any Repub President and take the leashes off of these anti-American mad dogs?

» Posted By AdLib On March 12, 2015 @ 3:16 pm

So funny that now, after being called traitors even by RW papers, these cowardly Repubs are all making excuses for why they signed and sent the letter to Iran!

Trying to blame Obama for it, claiming “I sign all kinds of letters all the time”, it was meant to be “cheeky”, on and on. This isn’t damage control, this is running the Titanic into an iceberg and jumping ship as it sinks.

WATCH: Vice Special Report: Killing Cancer

Daedalus, what a fantastic comment! Thank you for your very kind thoughts about KQuark (a fellow scientist) and sharing your history and insights over medical research. A voice of experience is very appreciated and your having to deal with the wonderful and small minded really explains a lot about what really goes on.

No question that the intrusion of Big Pharma into the field of medical research has corrupted it but there are still scientists like you and KQuark who pursue the research and teaching of it with an inescapable enthusiasm.

The scientists who have been pursuing this modification of viruses unto “smartbombs” against cancer seem to have that genuine interest in finding and popularizing their cures. Hey, I’m excited just hearing about it, I can only imagine how they feel.

Here’s hoping that their progress continues and gains momentum. What a day that will be if cancer becomes just another treatable disease for most instead of a death sentence.

BTW, very nice to see you again, Daedalus!

Kalima, I’ve lost several close friends and relatives to cancer too, including our two close friends here at The Planet. It’s kind of surreal to think that in the near future, there may be widely available cures for cancer. Just amazing!

That would be a huge step forward in human history. After so many years of Republicans trying to drag us backwards in history, to have something so profound move human society ahead, makes one have a glimmer of optimism for our future once again.

Sorry the video I posted won’t play for you but so glad you found that clip so you can have an idea of what a legitimate and profound development this is in curing cancer.

It’s pretty exciting just to type those words, “curing cancer”.

» Posted By AdLib On March 4, 2015 @ 10:21 pm

Haruko, yes I do remember and I’m sure you both heard about this already.

So exciting to see! Finally, our technology could come to the rescue of cancer patients and bring about something only referred to in the past as an impossibility, a cure for cancer.

Too late to help the wonderful people who’ve passed away far too young that I’ve known but to imagine the lives that can be saved in the future makes me very happy.

Netanyahu’s Alternative to Averting Nuclear War with Iran…A Conventional War with Iran

I imagine many of them are cheering on Netanyahu though even hardliners in Israel are coming out against Netanyahu for damaging Israel’s relationship with the U.S.

The Mossad is against him and his propagandizing.

The after-speech glow is wearing off quickly and even if he wins re-election, he just alienated the top world powers against him and Israel by trying to sabotage their making a deal with Iran.

If Israelis don’t vote him and Likud out, they’ll only have themselves to blame for Israel being pushed farther and farther away by many in the West.
