Senator Cruz, you do not speak for me, or many other Texans like me

[ScreamingMeemie]

I am that single parent you love to talk about...the one who is somehow being "harmed" by "Obamacare."

The "harm" that is being done to me is that I can purchase a policy for $176 a month.
The "harm" is that I don't have to order prescription meds from other countries.
The "harm" is that I can drop my son's $500/quarter temporary high risk policy in favor of a new policy that actually offers coverage and preventative care.

No, Mr. Cruz, get my name out of your mouth...

Thank you.

1. Well said, my dear Mrs. G. Well said!

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Thank you CP

[TBF]

2. Amen. K&R nt

3. The 3 Billion Dollar man

I can't stand his voice and cadence.

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. "My GOD, he DOES sound and look like McCarthy!"

My father (born 1944-Milwaukee) just now when Cruz was on.

[Ellipsis]

11. It is freaky.

[Hutzpa]

32. Get this photo out there

with the words;

McCarthy Rebirth send it viral.

[Arcanetrance]

4. As someone who has recently moved to Texas I agree whole heartedly

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. Welcome to Texas.

I'm in North Houston. It's not so bad...and then the rural Pubbies go out and vote.

[Arcanetrance]

14. Texas is interesting it's very different from NYC where I moved from

At times I like it here at times I dislike it here.

18. I feel the same way

and I was born here and have lived here most of my life. Good food, lots of stuff to do, mild winters, nice people, and relatively affordable housing make it a pretty decent place to live, despite summers that are too long and hot and some really awful politicians.

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. It took me a little over a year to get over my homesickness.

It is the best move I have made.

Hopefully, the politics are changing.

[mahannah]

25. Remember Ann Richards and Molly Ivins.

[kentauros]

5. It's too bad we can't recall or impeach his ass.

We have to rely on the U.S. Senate to do that for us.

So, all of y'all in all the other states out there, see if you can convince your Senators to garner a two-thirds majority to expel Cruz, for the good of the country, and for individuals like ScreamingMeemie!

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. That would be so great.

At least I think he's killing his chances of reelection (from the segment of people I've talked with).

He's a pox.

[seabeyond]

10. Ya

[11 Bravo]

12. Beautifully said! K&R

[libdem4life]

13. These great stories will be his downfall. He has relegated himself to the dustbin of history...a

footnote, at best.

[mc51tc]

15. Ditto from another seven generation "Texan"

K R!!

[Moral Compass]

16. K&R

17. K&R

+ 1000

[Doctor_J]

19. But he does speak for a solid majority of Texans

Your state is broken, in need of major repairs.

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Your concern is noted.

Check out the cities. It's getting rather lame "Doctor."

[Doctor_J]

31. Sorry.

I didn't realize when I read the OP that this was a vanity thread, and thus that no dissent was allowed.

[Stuckinthebush]

24. Very true statement

Texas, like the majority of Southern states, is very broken. But, the good news is that their demographics are changing more rapidly than other states and Texas has the possibility of becoming blue soon.

[Paladin]

22. K&R.

[shireen]

23. is it possible to recall Cruz?

Did Texans who voted for him know what they were getting, or has his antics taken them by surprise? Just curious ....

He needs to get out of the Senate. Expulsion. Recall. Whatever legal means possible. This guy is TOXIC.

[jwirr]

26. I suspect he doesn't even speak for a lot of republicans in Texas or anywhere else. The tea party

are a minority who only win through trickery and theft. I also was a single mother although I was married and then divorced.

[CapnSteve]

27. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Cruzer loser!

...oh, and thanks for waking up the democratic majority in Texas! We WILL flip Texas blue in 2014, thanks to Gov. Wendy Davis on the plus column, and Mr. cruz on th minus....

[hamsterjill]

28. Get my name out of your mouth, too, Mr. Cruz.

I am that single parent that you talk about (wink wink) as if there is something wrong with ME for not staying in an abusive marriage. I am that single parent who worked her ass off so that her children could have college educations and because of that, they have been able to apply for and get good paying jobs.

It just burns the shit outta you, Mr. Cruz, that I chose to live my life the way that *I* saw fit and didn't succumb to your stupid religious rhetoric and remain barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen. Well, welcome to the new Texas, Mr. Cruz. It's turning back blue and I'm going to rub that BLUE all over your sorry ass every chance I get.

Sorry...regaining control here. But I simply despise what this asshole has done to my beloved Texas!

[carolinayellowdog]

29. rec in honor of Texas DUers who have been given nonstop shit for days now

thanks for posting, Meemie

[emsimon33]

30. We need a Constitutional amendment to permit the recall of Congressmen/women & senators

[Th1onein]

33. Ditto from a fellow Texan.

[JI7]

34. i hope he has a Rick Santorum Moment in the future

a point where the state is no longer conservative enough for people like him and he loses by a huge amount.
