Ted Cruz: I'm Not 'All That Conservative'

[ashling]

The Texas Republican and tea party favorite made the unexpected remarks to Jewish donors in New York City, according to the New York Observer.

He said: “I don’t think I’m all that conservative. And it’s interesting. Reagan never once beat his chest and said ‘I’m the most conservative guy who ever lived.’ Reagan said, ‘I’m defending common sense principles—small businesses, small towns.'”

Cruz also met privately with Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson, whom the Observer reported found the Texan to be "too right wing" and unlikely to win the 2016 presidential nomination, citing an anonymous source.

shut him down?

[VanillaRhapsody]

2. Compared to what Mussolini?

[Scootaloo]

3. Most conservatives AREN'T particularly conservative. They're radicals.

And really, if Sheldon fucking Adelson thinks you're "too right-wing"?

[Warpy]

4. He's a radical reactionary with a large dose of religious extremism

and an ego so massive it fills Jupiter's orbit.

His hero is Joe McCarthy.

5. He's not. He is far-right. nt

7. Ay ay ay, these people

Anyone want to live with me on the Moon?

8. When do we leave?

[shenmue]

9. I don't think I have work on Saturday

So, pack a spacesuit, lots of oxygen tanks, some freeze-dried food, and your favorite teddy bear.

10. Now just a minute. Give him a chance.

He is so far to the right he might be falling off the page. Maybe is is not 'all that conservative'. He is just a right-wing extremist, wing-nut naysayer, science denier, oil spill loving, president hater man of the moment.
