I've decided to de-friend anyone who praises Ted Douchebag Cruz.

I have Republican friends---some border on Tea Bag ideology.

I put up with them because we have an agreement not to discuss politics with one another.

Some are my Facebook friends.

Some are now praising Cruz on my Facebook page.

I can tolerate their distaste for Obama---I can tolerate them getting buzzed on Fox News Kool-Aid. I can tolerate them telling me that Climate change is a hoax. I can tolerate a lot of their shit-----

BUT I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY PRASIE FOR TED DOUCHEBAG CRUZ.

I will call them on it and tell them straight up that if they support this guy in anyway, we're done.

Why???--- I can hang out with partial idiots, but I can't hang out with total idiots.

...none of them are praising Cruz. I almost feel sorry for you.

In fact, one of my R friends damn near posted what would be considered a "liberal" comment yesterday. I wish I could remember what it was. Had to do a double take. It had to do with govt. shutdown and the GOP.

went off topic on a ridiculous climate change denial tangent.

I think she now knows it's not polite to post politics on a non political board. I managed to keep my own big mouth shut but nobody else did. It was quite a donnybrook.

When people can't respect the "no politics" rule of a personal page or single topic forum, it's definitely time to delete them for bad behavior.
