A Failed Cruzade



And all it cost was 24+ billion dollars, the country's credit rating put in jeopardy, thousands of people put out of a job and possibly the sanity of a stenographer.

You know he's laughing all the way to the bank after grifting $800,000 and getting 2 million email addresses.

"Basically, Cruz admitted that he personally has benefited during the previous three weeks. He has culled more than 2 million email addresses from a site opposing Obamacare.

In addition, Cruz’s PAC pulled in almost $800,000 and he is considered a front-runner for the Presidential nomination by some conservative Republicans."

What's amazing and scary to me is that, just like The Snowbilly Grifter and Crazy Eyes Bachman, he probably doesn't think (or know?) that he's BATSHITINSANE.

The more I find out about them and their beliefs, the more I realize how crazy they are and how they need to be kept out of any kind of real power position.

This man will never see the inside of the White House... He'll probably see the inside of a Leavenworth prison cell beforehand.

He has no real power, no one trusts him and, as long as the Democrats control the Senate, no chairmanship.

If he runs in 2016 and somehow finds himself as their nominee, the Republicans will lose spectacularly.

He's a disaster waiting to happen for the GOP.

His party may very well "punish" him by giving him the VP nomination for 2016. The Republican base loves him, and no. They do not think he's insane.
