CRUZ ON FRONT PAGE OF NEW YORK DAILY NEWS -- MUST SEE

[BigBearJohn]

[stevil]

1. LOL

Had to double check if this is real. Cruz brought that on himself.

[roguevalley]

47. I knew this would happen. Too bad he's a yokel who believes saying those kind

of dog whistles is smart in company with three IQ digits.

[LittleBlue]

2. "Go back to Canada"

[EdwardBernays]

3. Hahahahaha

Hahaahahahahahah

[mikeargo]

4. Now THAT'S a front page!

[tomm2thumbs]

5. Cruz continues to draw attention to the fact he was not born in the United States

I think to low-education GOP voters (the majority), that makes him un-American enough not to vote for in their minds.

Keep it up Ted -- you are doing a heckuva job! bwahahahaha

[Recursion]

6. Every day I like the NYDN more and more... (nt)

[Squinch]

54. Me too! All of a sudden they are bad ass! I try to buy a copy every day to

support them, even though I only get to read it about every third day.

I tried subscribing, but their subscription line is all screwed up. This reminds me to try again.

[smirkymonkey]

57. So do I. They have really been calling out the assholes lately.

I have to admit, I am pretty impressed for a paper that I always considered to be a right wing rag.

[UCmeNdc]

7. Ha! Ha! LOL!

Go New York! Ted Cruz is the ultimate idiot!

[Scarsdale]

8. Texas values

Teddy has Texas values, which appear to be quite low. Look at the sub par candidates they have sent to DC. Does his father run a tax free church? Time for in depth investigation on that.

[callous taoboy]

18. Maybe you could delineate between all Texans and Texas politicians:

There are plenty of tried and true Dems here, me being one, and I assure you we despise assholes like Cruz just as much as you.

[narnian60]

22. I'm another one.

[bvar22]

45. I inherited my Pro-Working Class, FDR New Deal Democratic Values from my parents,

both of whom were Texans.
Most of Texas is now purple with the solid demographic prediction of Going Blue in the very near future.

*Molly Ivans

*Ann Richards

*Barbara Jordan

*Jim Hightower

*LBJ

*Bill Moyers (born & raised in Marshall, Texas)

*Sheila Jackson Lee

ALL outspoken Texas Liberals.
Where would we be without them?

48. my mom's family came from the south and settled there from the 1600's onward

when n. and s. carolina was carolina. They left in 1868 for eastern oregon because. I worship them that they did. Not all southern folks are dipshits anymore than all _____ are awesome. I delineate between politicians and locals because being in alaska I have suffered these blights:

Palin

Ted 'The internet is a series of tubes' Stevens

Don "FUCK YOU!" Young.

[Paladin]

24. I admire your effort, but it's probably futile.

Texas hatred is very popular around here......

[Pacifist Patriot]

35. I'm not sure which gets more, blanket Texas hatred or blanket Florida ridicule.

[steve2470]

42. seems to be a tie to me nt

[stonecutter357]

69. No Alabama.

[NYC Liberal]

41. Region-bashing is par for the course on DU, sadly.

Of course some regions tend to be more conservative or more liberal, but people here act like it's all or nothing.

Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly are from NYC; Ann Richards and Molly Ivins were Texans.

Then I'll stop with my own disparaging remarks

[Unknown Beatle]

50. Add me to the list.

Texas Progressive and Proud.

[tibbir]

30. Texas values? How enlightened of you

Does Lyndon Johnston fit within your viewpoint of Texas values? How about Sheila Jackson Lee - does she have Texas values? What about Governor Ann Richards or Molly Ivins? It's easy to make generalizations about an entire group based on some of the outrageous actions of a few you have observed, but I thought DU prided itself on having the ability to be above this.

[KamaAina]

40. To be fair, they have sent Barbara Jordan, Mickey Leland, Lloyd Bentsen, and LBJ to DC

and many others, I'm sure.

[KingCharlemagne]

77. Just Barbara Jordan alone goes a long way to make up for all the Republian assholes

taken as a group. I miss her voice more with each passing day.

[bklyncowgirl]

9. That's a Daily News Classic

[Hortensis]

10. Excellent, thanks!

[Grins]

11. The perfect two-word response to Cruz saying "true conservatives do not come from NY"..

Goldman. Sachs.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

14. THIS. / /

[LiberalElite]

12. !!!!

[BigBearJohn]

13. GEEEE... I wonder if Donald will hold this front page up at one of his rallies? LMAO

[mountain grammy]

15. Grrrrreat!

[meow2u3]

16. Yo, Teddy! Don't like New York values?

Tough shit!

Love it!

[RandiFan1290]

17. Don't Fuck With New York

vimeo.com/108864532

[awoke_in_2003]

61. I love that

NYC- the one place in the world where you can be told "Fuck You" in every language known to man. I hope, one day, to visit. Oh, but not because I want to be told "fuck you"

[leftynyc]

20. AWESOME

I love my city more and more every day.

[Odin2005]

21. Teddy really fucked up.

[ecstatic]

23. That was my reaction last night

And I'm the daughter of an immigrant. But yeah, if he doesn't like millions of Americans, he can take his smugly ass back to Canada.

[Dont call me Shirley]

64. I'm the daughter of an immigrant too.

Unfortunately he was a Nixon loving Swedish conservative. It's taken me years of therapy

[BigBearJohn]

25. hahahahaha see below

[BigBearJohn]

26. one more

[BigBearJohn]

27. Somebody needs to make a cartoon showing Cruz with his foot in his mouth

With profuse tears rolling down his cheeks

[hifiguy]

63. They're gonna need the Jaws of Life

to get Tailgunner's Ted's shoes out of his noisehole.

[spanone]

28. i'll drink to that! FUCK cruz and while we're at it FUCK trump.

[fredamae]

29. Gullible Ted took Trumps Bait lol n/t

[ryan_cats]

31. I'm

I'm pretty sure Ted lost New York state, I'm sure he's devastated. Amidst all the high five-ing, people should wonder how this will play with the GOP crowd.

[napkinz]

32. Cruz got nailed ...

[llmart]

46. Unfortunately.....

Trump's response makes him look like he's a caring individual which he isn't. I don't think Ted was ever going to be a serious contender and now the Trump supporters and those on the fence about Trump will begin to look closer at Trump.

I still can't believe he's the front runner. Never in my lifetime would I expect that the voting populace would even for one second consider him a serious candidate.

[H2O Man]

33. Nice.

Recommended.

[napkinz]

34. K&R!

[Stuart G]

36. k and r...for more to see.........

[Cali_Democrat]

37. LOL!

[malaise]

39. I love Lady Liberty's middle finger

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

38. The pilot episode of The West Wing had a similar exchange, actually...

VAN DYKE
Show the average American teenage male a condom and his mind will turn to thoughts of lust.

TOBY
Show the average American teenage male a lug wrench and his mind'll turn...

C.J.
Toby!

MARY
School prayer, pornography, condoms. What's it gonna be?

TOBY
We're not prepared to make any sort of deal right now.

JOSH
Sure we are. Mary...

MARY
[to Josh] My read of the landscape is that you're cleaning out your desk before the end of business today, so I'd just as soon negotiate with Toby if it's all the same to you.

CALDWELL
Mary.

MARY
[to Caldwell] Please allow me to work. [to Josh] It was only a matter of time with you, Josh.

JOSH
Yes.

MARY
That New York sense of humor was just a...

CALDWELL
Mary, there no need...

MARY
Reverend, please! They think they're so much smarter. They think it's smart talk. But nobody else does.

JOSH
I'm actually from Connecticut, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, Mary...

TOBY
She meant Jewish. [A stunned silence. Everyone stares at Toby.] When she said "New York sense of humor", she was talking about you and me.

JOSH
You know what, Toby, let's just not even go there.

CALDWELL
There's been an apology. Let's move on.

VAN DYKE
I'd like to discuss why we hear so much talk about the First Amendment coming out of this building, but no talk at all about the First Commandment.

MARY
I don't like what I've just been accused of.

In my opinion, that's what Ted was talking about.

[Johonny]

44. It's funny he like's NYC's Wall Street money, but not their values...

pretty much says all you need to know about the man.

[DaveT]

49. I was born in Dallas

and spent the majority of my life in Texas. When I was 46 years old, I looked around and said to myself, "You know, you don't HAVE to live here."

And that is how I became a Californian.

Texas is a place that looks great in your rear view mirror.


On this thread you see reference to some great Texas liberals, Jim Hightower, Molly Ivans, Ann Richards, Bill Moyers -- I don't think anybody mentioned my personal hero, Ralph Yarborough, who was the leader of the Democratic wing of the Texas Democratic Party while serving in the US Senate in the 1960s.

All Texas liberals are tough. You have to be tough to be a liberal in Texas because you are always surrounded by the most stubbornly stupid white people in the world. On the day that Ann Richards got turned out of the Governor's chair by then political rookie George W. Bush, her approval rating was over 60%.

I rest my case about The Lone Star State.



Seriously, though, Cruz' knock of The Big Apple is very good politics in Texas, particularly in the Republican primary. A very popular bumper sticker in Dallas when I was living there was:

&quot heart) NY? Take I-35 North"

It will probably help him all across the south, too. No Republican is going to carry New York, so all he did was blow off the NY GOP primary -- which he probably never had a chance of winning to begin with.

To understand Cruz, you have to think like a Texan.

Please don't hold it against me. I was born there.

[greymattermom]

71. and you'll get to....

Minnesota!

[Dawson Leery]

51. "New York Values Pay The Bills For God's Country"

[Squinch]

55. Yeah!

[smirkymonkey]

58. Thank YOU!

[Dawson Leery]

67. The "red" states take 300 billion more than they give each year.

[Warpy]

52. Hating NYC is red meat to provincial dolts who know they'll never

be able to afford to go there, even on vacation. Trump lost a few points with the Republican moron base by defending it, especially in the south.

[Beacool]

53. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

I just put on the local news and Cruz is apologizing to New Yorkers.

[Smarmie Doofus]

56. Dude. Our state can kick your state's ASS.

Don't fuck w. NY.

[jpak]

59. Photo of Cruz eating salsa made in New York City

I wish...

[gcomeau]

60. Hey hey now....

...what did Canada ever do to New York? Don't send him back there, that's not neighborly.

[hifiguy]

62. What a maroon!

What a ta-ra-ra-goon-de-ay.

[Dont call me Shirley]

65. Yet he LOVES the values of Wall St.

[Thespian2]

66. Sorry...

Canadians are quite happy that America has Cruz...they don't want him back...

As an American immigrant into Canada, I certainly don't want him here, even for a visit...

[forest444]

68. A Daily News Déja vu.

The Daily News has a talent for creating covers that really drive the point home and consequently cause seismic shifts in political trends.

The most famous such example, of course. is the 1975 Daily News cover showing Jerry Ford up for his callous attitude toward New York and big cities in general:

[Beartracks]

70. Why do Repub candidates only want to be President of Republicans?

They have no qualms insulting and talking down about Democrats and liberals -- and I don't just mean ribbing their political opponents "across the aisle", but denigrating ALL the actual citizens and voters across the country who identify as liberals!

And then, to generalize about New York because, obviously, it must be practically socialist since it's part of New England, right?

And these yahoos like Cruz want to be President? They don't even like half of the country's citizens, and they think government is stupid.

Yeah, go back to Canada, Ted Cruz!


P.S. Sorry, Canada.

====================================

[FairWinds]

72. WAIT A MINUTE !!

If Cruz thinks NYC is so terrible . .

Why did he accept a loan from a Wall St. bank to get to the Senate?

And what does he think about his wife working for Goldman Sac[k]s?

[Monk06]

73. Stop trying to send him back to Canada. We just got rid of a RW thin lipped bible thumper

One cheeze dick, evangelical, compulsive masturbating Tory prime minister is enough in my life time

And Wayne Gretzky can fuck off an die too for supporting Harper in his pathetic death rattle

Let me die in peace with Justin running things

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

74. Justin Beaver? You can take him back too!

[Monk06]

75. No to the Biever He can go to Vegas and move in with Celine Dion. I hear she's single now

Oh and take Peter Mansbridge and Rex Murphy while your at it !!!

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

78. OK!!

[exboyfil]

76. Cruz is using the cover to boost himself in Iowa

Given the Republicans in this state, I think it will actually help him.
