1. Well hey, it's the American attitude of "I got mine, screw you"

This attitude by right wing and many mainstream Americans is that hurtful to everyone else. Selfishness (and especially extreme selfishness) being acceptable in America is detrimental to everyone.

4. Idiot Repubs and their money--like candy from a baby, right Ted?

[n2doc]

5. Let the idiots toss money at him

There is no amount of cash that will make Cruz into President. And I suspect, given his narcissistic ways, he will siphon a lot of that cash into his own accounts...

9. And he'll get away with it too, just like DeLay

[lame54]

6. The same happened for Joe - "You Lie" - what's his name...

Don't hear from him much anymore

8. Another YOYO republican

* Ya On Ya Own

It's despicable that the poison pill sequestration isn't enough for the YOYOs.

13. Good. Let them stick him on the 2016 ticket with Sarah Palin.

And say hello to President Warren. Or Clinton.
