He looks like a cartoon character somehow.

While I feel sure that your righteous indignation is directly from the Progressive Playbook, I think maybe appointing yourself Arbiter of Appropriate Behavior is not such a great idea. If you do not think it is right to make comments which are based on appearance, you should probably not do that. But telling other people what is and isn't allowed when their comments were not particularly inflammatory sort of makes you look like a, well, hall monitor (as has already been pointed out).

Nobody likes the hall monitor.

So maybe I will learn from your example how to be properly righteous and judgmental of fairly innocuous comments made about the enemies of our country.

Probably not, though.

And I personally find Ted Cruz to be the ugliest kind of person, regardless of his physical appearance.

Thu Oct 17, 2013, 10:33 AM

In addition to Mazin and Leitch, several fellow classmates who asked that their names not be used described the young Cruz with words like “abrasive,” "intense," “strident,” “crank,” and “arrogant." Four independently offered the word “creepy,” with some pointing to Cruz’s habit of donning a paisley bathrobe and walking to the opposite end of their dorm’s hallway where the female students lived.

“I would end up fielding the (girls’) complaints: 'Could you please keep your roommate out of our hallway?'" Mazin says.

yet he could almost pass for ryan's dad . and he looks older than Rand Paul who is almost 10 years older and Cruz.

i haven't seen any hardships in his life which would have aged him .

i wonder if there is any alcohol or other drug abuse currently or from his past . we know Bush's odd looks and behavior had a lot to do with his drug use.
