"SNIP..................................
A new Rasmussen Reports poll has found that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is the most influential person in the world!
Well, OK, to be technical, the people polled were given a list of 16 names and two generic options, either "Some other person" or "Not sure." And the top 5 on the list are:
Pope Francis (23 percent)
Barack Obama (21 percent)
Some other person (12 percent)
Ted Cruz (11 percent)
Not sure (9 percent)
But as far as any reasonable American patriot is concerned, Cruz is No. 1. The pope and President Obama are avowed socialists or Marxists or something, and "Some other person" and "Not sure" both sound like communists to me. So they're all disqualified, making Cruz, the verbose tea party darling, numero uno in the global influence department.
