Cruz was on CNN's "Crossfire" today.

[Archae]

I never have seen a Senator who has made more asinine excuses for his "Shut it down" plan.

He never answered *ANY* serious questions about his stupidity.

1. Sheldon Whitehouse was great on that segment.

2. does Cruz have a really sleazy looking face ?

he looks like those snake oil/used car salesman types. the way he talks comes off that way also. there is something very phony about him.

9. He looks like the late Joe McCarthy.

3. I only watched one segment...

Does his voice seem high to anyone else? Is that his natural voice, or is it a natural part of lying like Jon Lovitz's, "Yeah... that's the ticket," character?

4. He is a narcissist.

He is not capable of realizing the damage he has done to the Republican Party. Otherwise, there is now way he would be showing his face on national television right now.

5. Cruz's delusions of his own superiority

are comical. He does not respond because the questions and questioners are beneath him. Did anyone honestly think he would respond to Van's question about owing the Repigs an apology? He accused Van of changing the subject. No one is allowed to ask a question on a subject Raphael does not approve of first. After all, he wasn't there for them; he was there because he wanted to be seen as the Repig's leader. If they're covered in Cruz mud in a ditch, that's their stupidity for following him.

6. He's my Senator and I never expect anything very bright from him and he delivers nothing very ...

bright. I'm beginning to think his attending Princeton is some sort of joke.

7. I can't stand to look at the slimy piece of shit.

8. It's his unnatural pauses that creep me out

Such a drama..... queen

10. Now it comes out that he's a religious bigot.

In the 2005 Van Orden v. Perry case, the United States Supreme Court ruled that the display of one of those Ten Commandments monuments, at the Texas State Capital in Austin, was constitutional.

One of the architects of the case, arguing in favor of the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments display, was Texas Solicitor General Ted Cruz, now a United States Senator credited with playing a leading role in the current shutdown of the U.S. federal government.
