From the Facebook vaults, my description of Ted Cruz from this past February. I am not sure what set me off this time, but you really don’t need any kind of special occasion to hate on Ted Cruz. That he is now a two-term United States Senator from my home state both shames me profoundly and puzzles me deeply. His career utterly disproves that politics has anything whatsoever to do with popularity.
So here we go…
“I mean if the guy exhibited rugged Texas "values" like that moronic yahoo Sid Miller, I could see how he was elected once and then reelected. But he represents almost everything your Texas tuff Texan is supposed to hate. He's a titty baby. He comes across as a squealer. He probably can't toss a piece of waste paper in the garbage from three feet away, much less whip a football across a yard with a halfway decent spiral.
He cannot skin a buck, nor run a trotline, and you can starve him out and he was not raised on shotguns. He would never avenge a friend in New York City who lost his life to a man with a switchblade knife for $43 by spitting Beech Nut in that dude's eye and shooting him with an ol' 45. Firstly, because he has no friends. Secondly, he probably thinks Beech Nut is a breakfast cereal. Last, he would miss even at point blank range and the recoil would take his ear off and he would run away screaming.
Would you trust him on one of those "look you in the eye, firm handshake" business deals you are forever hearing about from back when daddy was in the awl bidness? (Or ranching, or whatever). No, you wouldn't, because he can't look anyone in the eye and I imagine his handshake feels like a moist clump of clammy dishrags.
So I just wonder how Ted Cruz voters think he makes our state appear to the rest of the country. What kind of ambassador for Texas is this oleaginous manifestation of calculating narcissism in humanoid form?”
I never tire of hearing a good rant about TC. Coming from rural Texas, I, too, used to be baffled as to how he meets any bubba requirements, but politicians don’t have to anymore. You just have to put a capital R in front of your political affiliation and any gangster, felon or miscreant of any kind can win an office. Says more about the voters than about who is running. Frankly, I blame those at the pulpits in Texas and in every state, and the lack of critical thinking happening due to less than desirable conditions in schools…and the general consumerist malaise that has taken over.
Ugh, I had to speed read that so I didn’t have to look at his squirrelly mug for too long……I imagine his handshake to feel like a dead, sweaty fish!
