Welcome to the official FUCK YOU TED CRUZ thread (criticizes Carter 1 day after cancer admission)

Ted Cruz Criticizes Jimmy Carter a Day After His Cancer Admission

by Mark Murray

In his "soapbox" remarks at the Iowa State Fair on Friday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz criticized Jimmy Carter's presidency - a day after Carter's moving public admission about his cancer.

"I think where we are today is very, very much like the late 1970's. I think the parallels between this administration and the Carter administration are uncanny, same failed domestic policy, same misery, stagnation and malaise, same feckless and naive foreign policy. In fact, the exact same countries, Russia and Iran, openly laughing at and mocking the president of the United States."

When asked about the timing of his remarks, Cruz said, according to Bloomberg News: "We can always have a discussion about public policy."

Cruz added, "The public policy of the late 1970s didn't work. And the point that I made here that was so important is that in response to the failures of public policy in the late 1970s there was a grassroots movement of millions of men and women that rose up and became the Reagan revolution. And the same thing is happening today."

when I finished watching Sanders take calls on CSPAN. I'd gotten up and left the room without turning the channel, and from the other room I could hear some guy going on and on and on...the part I heard was a big dose of how great Ronald Reagan was. I wasn't going to listen to that shit, so I went in and turned it off.

I was thinking, as I listened, that the man, and the Republican Party, was in desperate straits if he had to resurrect zombie Reagan to "inspire" people. The very small crowd seemed enthusiastic.

Nothing these people do or say anymore surprises me...nothing.

"These people" being Republican candidates, media talking heads, and their flock.

A weak man is a person who worries about what others think of him. Russia and Iran openly laughing at him bothers him, as if Russia and Iran's opinions really matter. No, that is NOT patriotic, Cruz. It is not brave to worry about it.
