Cuban-Canadian Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Daddy Issues) has always been a smug prick. Who knew? Everyone, that's who! (It's his schtick.) We were already aware of Cruz's refusal, while at Hahhhvahhhd Law School, to dirty his elbows with anyone who'd attended the
What manner of troll cave brought you here to Wonkette!? And don't you know comments aren't allowed?
Incidentally- can you recite the US Constitution? And if Ted Cruz knows what it all means, and if there's more than one interpretation of that document, is everybody else just stupid?
At first I thought your comment was tongue-in-cheek snark, but grew despondent when I got to the end and realized that you were serious. I'm sorry your world is changing and your belief system doesn't fit in the wider world anymore.
Hope you're right - but in support for him, and his fellow GOP asshats, asshattery does not necessarily get in the way of their gaining a lot of sycophantic supporters.
Big differences: putting aside a couple of glaring, massive blemishes on his legacy, LBJ did some real good things (on purpose) for ordinary Americans and, unlike Cruz, apparently had a conscience. Agree with @Run2Live: in looks, approach and ethic, he's just a more polished version of Joe McCarthy.
Cruz, Trump and many of their office-holding GOP brethren have this in common, which I think may resolve your cognitive dissonance: they have some specialized slices of intelligence or expertise, which their egos and the folks within their bubbles and low-info followers generalize into broad intelligence and expertise. Add willingness to make shit up, repeat others' made-up shit, and just flat out lie before millions of people, and voila!
If Ted Cruz were a Democrat espousing the bankrupting and disarming of the Republic, the burning, poisoning, dismembering, and crushing of the unborn, the obliteration of Marriage (when everything's "marriage," then nothing is marriage), the abolition of The Bill of Rights, the institutionalized degradation and dependence of millions of people based on the melanin content of their skin, and the support of genocidal anti-Semites and the green-lighting of their nuclear genocide programs, then you'd love him.
Even if your decades-old anecdotes are accurate, what do those innocuous incidents prove? During their college days, Bill Clinton was protesting against the United States in foreign lands and preying on coeds, and Barack Obama was -- wait a minute; apart from a trip to Pakistan (make sure you put the emphasis on the second syllable), we have no idea what he was doing in his college days since he's sealed his records.
But they're heroes to you.
Instead of embarrassing yourself with craven, clumsy, and baseless ad hominems against someone who consistently defends the Constitution and your rights, point out where Cruz's positions are inconsistent with Liberty and American tradition.
...and a square peg often doesn't fit in a round hole. Liberty, tyranny. I doubt we could agree on what those terms mean exactly, because I am pretty sure we each feel ourselves strong in our convictions. Is there nothing we could agree on?
It was Dumbya Bush who nearly bankrupted the Republic, you disingenuous little fuck. But then you missed that because you spent those eight years gargling Limbaugh's elastic ball sack.
WHAT is tragic? Do you actually feel sad on perceiving the misguidedness and errors of the author, or are you just annoyed by them because they are contrary to your own and want to pretend to be above such immaturity and pretend to be capable of looking down on him from the heights of divine compassion?
How hypocritical. (Now, isn't it annoying to be categorized in an insulting way?)
Now you can respond with "How ____________ (adjective of your choice)". Or you can phrase your annoyance any way you want to. But I am not nescient about the meaning of nescient.
How am I doing? Am I as snarky as you were? It's really not hard; in fact it's too easy. I'm a bit ashamed of myself. But I couldn't resist.
I wonder, though. When people fire off comments like yours (and now, mine), do they actually expect to change opinions or enlighten others? Because the effect is the opposite.
And you are in a position to criticize the man since you are so much more to be admired than he is by virtue of . . . what was that again? Oh, that's right--you spend your days writing 'articles' that are nothing more than big piles of hot steamy unsubstantiated horse crap. I'm guessing you won't be tapped to be in his cabinet come January.
It's a shame you are such a jealous bitch! Dont get mad because Cruz is so much smarter than you! There are lots of people in this world who are smarter than you!
We actually don't care! We are sick of you millenniums having bad grammar and punctuation and still acting as if you are brilliant! We just don't give a damn as Rhett Butler would say!

Bet you can't.
Liberty never "fits" in with tyranny.

Rather gargle Limbaugh's nut sack than suck Obama dick like you morons!
