Ted Cruz Took My Advice

Apparently Satanists don't want Ted Cruz associated with them either:

Former House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) raised a few eyebrows this week when he told an audience that he considers Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz “Lucifer in the flesh.” The Texas senator didn’t care for the comment, and neither did Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

But perhaps no one was less pleased with the comment than, of all people, Satanists. The Huffington Post reported:

Is there, indeed, something satanic to the senator? Do Republicans in Congress see the dark threads of Luciferianism in their colleague from Texas?

To get to the bottom of this, HuffPost called up Lucien Greaves, a spokesperson for the Satanic Temple. His response was that Boehner was basically full of it, trying to absolve the worst of Christianity by calling him a product of Satanism.

“It is past time we stop blaming the activities of the upholders of the Christian faith on a Satanic philosophy,” Greaves told the Huffington Post. “Boehner is trying to convey that if it is bad and he disagrees with it, it is of Satan and Lucifer, and if it is of good, it is of Christ. That is what is problematic with the Christian ideology.”

The Hill added a day later, “A leading Satanist group is trying to distance itself from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) after the presidential candidate was compared to Lucifer.”

“Cruz’s failures of reason, compassion, decency and humanity are products of his Christian pandering, if not an actual Christian faith,” Lucien Greaves said on Thursday, according to The Friendly Atheist.

Boehner probably had no idea this kind of reaction was coming, but all things considered, Satanists were probably more bothered by the “Lucifer” line than Cruz was.

Am I the only one who has got the distinct feeling that Cruz is actively trying to lose the nomination?

Gee, it's pretty bad when even the Denizens Of Hell don't want to be associated with you...

Paul Manafort had a good line this week when he was asked by a reporter if the Indiana primary would be the "last nail in the coffin" for Cruz's presidential bid:

“Last Tuesday was the nail in the coffin, Indiana is when he realizes he’s inside it.”

You should keep a mallet and a wooden stake handy, just to make sure.

Dude just can't get no respect:



I actually thought Cruz handled that pretty well...

And I think he also had point...10 year old kids should not be yelling "you suck" at adults...

I blame Bush.

He may have had a point Jim, but then he forgot that respect is something that is earned and does not automatically come as a birthright.

This really wasn't Ted's day:

Now watch — some off-the-wall lefty SJW will accuse him of fostering child abuse because of that remark about "in my household, when a child behaves that way they get a spanking."

If that video proves anything, it is that Trump supporters are not about to let a bunch of dumb old facty factual facts sway their opinions.

Trump/Palin 2016!!!

No, he doesn't abuse his children. But you can tell by the way he looks that he likes to sniff bicycle seats...

Maybe he can try the one Carly Fiorina used to commute to Hewlett Packard:

Cruz had a press conference earlier today where he really let loose on Trump...

And everything he said was absolutely accurate...

Unfortunately Ted Cruz is a very poor messenger, because it took him being absolutely against the wall politically, and Trump accusing his father of being in league with Lee Harvey Oswald to get him to this point...

For the very first time in the many times I have listened to Cruz, I felt like he was not being calculating; he was actually saying what he truly believes about Trump...

Bit late in the game Ted...

Ted Cruz is a very bright guy...

And everything he said today about Trump being a pathological liar and a narcissist, he's known since day one of the campaign...

But for months, he calculated that it was in his best political interest to play nice with Trump no matter what he said, in order to pick up his votes once Trump "imploded"...(it wasn't a bad strategy; he did the same thing with Ben Carson and got all of his support)

Ted Cruz is now being hoisted on his own petard...

Of course the tragedy for the Republican Party (and the country) is that it's Donald Trump holding that petard...
