[Godzuki]

http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/24/politics/ted-cruz-obamacare/index.html

got to love these assholes so against it because someone in their family gets it for them working for a big company. and as soon as that well runs dry, they jump right on Obamacare, something they've been vehemently opposed to.

there are a lot of politicians i hate but this dude is the worst. its unbelievable to me he even has a following, and is running for Prez :coleman:

This is pure poetry.

The republicans need to purge their party. McConnell, Cruz and Tom Cotton are abysmal humans

Americans need to purge their politicians, period.

:kobe:
Why do you think that?

Well, currently he is the only official candidate, so his statement isn't inaccurate. It will change very soon though once others put their hat in the ring.

[KevinNYC]

This is the #1 guy for the GOP? :lol
A good number of his fellow GOP politicians hate Ted Cruz. He considered the most hated man in the Senate and a lot of that hate comes from his own party. He's constantly grandstanding and doing things that get Ted Cruz a lot of attention, but backfire against his party.

A Simpsons writer on Twitter said

Ted Cruz just said he is running for president.

He's running for president in the same a man with no teeth says he about to eat a boat.

Since Cruz was born in Calgary, will the birthers continue their jihad?

He's dead last by a good margin of the serious GOP candidates. I think he has the support of only 5% of the constituency. I don't even think he believes he can win, I am guessing he is hoping to jump into the VP spot with his candidacy. He just doesn't want to repeal ObamaCare, he wants to abolish the IRS. He is also wants to ban abortion and gay marriage which are the real losers. Plus Republicans will look a little hypocritical supporting him since he was born in another country(by a US citizen) which is exactly what some threw a fuss over with Obama.

He would be a lousy choice for prez, but then again so is this total loser we got sitting in the White House today. :/

[KevinNYC]

It seems that his wife is taken a leave from her (at Goldman Sachs) and that's why they no longer have Healthcare.

As a member of Congress he is required by law to use the exchange. I don't think this is hypocritical of him. Not from what I've heard yet. It's beautifully ironic though.

[Patrick Chewing]

None of you guys know Politics other than the talking points you read on Liberal websites that KevinNYC writes on. Ted Cruz is the anti-politician. For you guys to lump him in with other D.C. politicians is ridiculous.

He's a radical, but for all the right reasons. He's similar to Rand Paul with the exception perhaps of Paul's isolationist ideas.

So guys like Paul and Cruz are fresh faces in Washington, but of course you clueless f*cks wouldn't know any of that cause you're robots programmed to vote Democrat.

[DeuceWallaces]

We should all pray for your children. God only knows the racist-political brainwashing you would put them through. They have no chance.

You're schtick is tiring. Quit hugging trees and hoping Ralph Nader gets back in the race. Vote for Cruz. Or at least don't vote for that dyke Warren.

[Nanners]

the gop has very potential few candidates that arent laughably awful, its looking like marco rubio is probably their best option right now. ted cruz doesnt stand a chance.

Based on what? What are her policies? This is what I'm talking about. You Liberals just think that anyone left of center is the right person for the job. So far, we know she's a liar (not Native American). We also know that's she's a big time Socialist. She wants income redistribution.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fROraaFDEQ

She WILL NEVER be elected.

based on the fact that she can form coherent and logical arguments.

you are a fvcking idiot if you think she has no chance at getting elected. i know you conservatives have short memories, but have you really forgotten that this country just elected a black "socialist" who was born in nigeria twice in a row?? :oldlol:

for the record, i dont particularly like warren. my vote is bernie sanders for sure.

Troll away.

[longhornfan1234]

Cruz decides to play by the same rules as the general public and follow the law (instead of using some backroom loophole that I'm sure exists for people in his position) and libbies are making fun of him. Libs are so pathetic. :roll: :roll:

Lol at socialist Bernie.


Paul, Ryan, Walker, and Carson >>>> Hillary, Warren, Cuomo, and Biden.

Is Uncle Joe Biden running for prez? That guy is awesome. I wanna drink a beer with him

Ted Cruz's is not a real candidate, he is a team player, his job is to push the middle and the conversation to the right so 'moderates' like Jeb Bush can look rational and normal.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

[ThePhantomCreep]

Lol @ this teabilly. He's basically saying it's OK for Texans to go without health insurance (highest uninsured rate in the nation), but he's getting his. Way to take a stand against teh Obamacare, dipshit.

[HitandRun Reggie]

And the Democrats have.....

Hillary and an albino indian who rallies against corporations, that is when she's not busy defending them and stuffing her pockets full of their cash to think of clever ways to avoid making them pay their debts. :oldlol:

[Droid101]

If you think Cruz is doing this for any other reason than to get some sweet donation money from the rubes, you're a fool. He has 0% chance in the general and I'd say about 5% in the primary based on how hated he is by everyone, including half of the Republicans in Congress.

So guys like Paul and Cruz are fresh faces in Washington, but of course you clueless f*cks wouldn't know any of that cause you're robots programmed to vote Democrat.Ted Cruz has been involved in Washington Politics ever since he graduated from Harvard Law School. Have you heard of Harvard Law School? President Obama graduated from there. Bush went to Harvard too, but the business school. Cruz has the standard Ivy League political CV. He clerked for Chief Justice Rehnquist. He helped prepare people for their Clinton impeachment hearing testimony. He joined Bush's campaign in 1999. He has plenty of establishment credentials. When Bush v Gore in Florida went down to the wire he was in Tallahasee, Florida for the recount.

This is not Sarah Pain. He's not an outsider. He's got a list of establishment credentials a mile long.

[KevinNYC]

And the Democrats have.....A former Secretary of State who is leading the top 7 Republicans by at least 10 points.

I don' t know how she is doing against Cruz because he is tied with Rick Perry for eighth with 4% and they didn't go that far down the list.

So he's got a lot of Republicans in front of him before he goes up against a Democrat.

So one candidate? Mired in nothing but scandals and controversy these past few years. Good luck!


The only reason she may be leading in some polls is because the Democrats have absolutely no one else besides her, which says something about that party. The Republicans just need to get behind one candidate once and for all and when that happens, this pipe dream about Hillary will be over and done with.

[Droid101]

That's a little better. Still reaching.

Your concern is noted, however.

[Akrazotile]

We should be discussing ideas not candidates, but whenever you bring profound rationalism to an idea discusson it sends most ISH lefties scurrying away in fear and the thread quickly becomes a ghost town.

[longhornfan1234]

There's not a chance Hilary wins. I'm going to bump this thread next year.

[rufuspaul]

That's a little better. Still reaching.

:oldlol: Well Hillary is the one who coined the phrase "vast right-wing conspiracy". Of course at the time she used it to explain accusations that her husband was lying about the Lewinsky affair, which turned out to be the case. The right might be reaching on some issues but they have every reason to question both Bill and Hillary's honesty.

So the law doesn't apply to Hillary? She is above it?

Make it easy for the Democrats. I won't even say I told you so.

[HitandRun Reggie]

If Cruz was a Democrat, people would be labeling these disparaging comments as racist. :oldlol: You can't even say Obama's $hit stinks without people suspecting, many vocally, that you're racist. :rolleyes:

[Droid101]

So the law doesn't apply to Hillary?
I guess not. So, today, she's a lawless dictator. Tomorrow, she'll be a do-nothing empty suit.

The cycle is so goddamn predictable it's getting old.

[Godzuki]

anyone who supports cruz is a complete retard :facepalm

dude is the main reason why our credit rating was downgraded, which affected our economy.

he's the main reason the government got 2 weeks~ paid vacation while we lost tens of millions.

he is the epitome of fear monger exaggerating prey on the stupid there is in politics.

i don't ever want to see a Cruz supporter ever talk about bipartisanship, or what the majority in the country wants. all he does is impede promoting do nothing government until he gets his slim minority way. y'all have to be some of the lowest IQ dumbest mf'ers on the planet to support him. dude is worse than Palin ever was :rolleyes:

[Derka]

lol, people getting all worked up over a bunch of actors auditioning for the President gig.

Every four years: two self-interested groups of people doing everything they can to keep a happily-oblivious American population divided and conquered while they and their business friends keep running to the bank.

[longhornfan1234]

Go ahead and get behind Cruz. Make it easy for the Democrats. I won't even say I told you so.


We're not. Walker, Rand, and Carson are our candidates .

Why you telling me? Tell Chewing.

Cruz is basically the GOPs sacrificial lamb. His role is to make the real candidates like Jeb Bush look like moderates.

[KingBeasley08]

Ted Cruz is a legit retard. I don't wanna vote Clinton but if she's running against this douche, I probably will

[Jailblazers7]

This may have been covered already but isn't everyone in Congress on Obamacare? I thought it was just part of the law.

edit- nvm just clicked the link in the OP and it looks like the article covers that.

Oh look, a dumbass supporting another dumbass! Never would have guessed it.

I really wish we could just exile retards like Patrick Chewing to their own island and be rid of them for good.

He's been a crusader of trying to kill this bill. Now that his wife is taking a leave from her high paying banking company job, his family NEEDS to use Obamacare.

I'd say it's kinda pathetic on his part :confusedshrug:

You're a simpleton. With nothing better to do than to retort with an insult instead of providing reasons why you don't agree with Ted Cruz.

Since when does limited government sound like an idea not worth getting behind??

Some of you actually like paying higher taxes and enjoy government intervention into almost everything we do? Crazy.

[longhornfan1234]

He's following the law. :biggums:

[Springsteen]

He's following the law. :biggums:

This has nothing to do with "following the law". What, do you think he was breaking the law before, and Obama's gestapo finally forced him to sign up for Obamacare?

His family's health insurance is covered through his wife's position at Goldman Sachs. Now that she's taking a leave of absence due to HIS CAMPAIGN, his family has to find a new insurance plan, and the most affordable one is woah, get this, Obamacare. Cruz has the choice to purchase an insurance plan through a non ACA-exchange, but the only reason he would need to do that is political leverage at this point.

Educate yourself a little bit before spouting off nonsense like "libtards".

I do like nice roads and infrastructure. Those things cost money.

Crazy.
