[pokerfan]

Positively shocking.

Cruz said the Obama administration should continue imprisoning people for using marijuana until federal law is changed.

2. Very telling

Republicans use states' rights when it's convenient.

5. they use states' rights when it hurts black people

[pokerfan]

7. like the duck dynasty uses the bible to hurt gay people

These are excuses for bigotry, not part of any consistent philosophy.

8. So true.

When Republicans want to make one of their disgusting points, they find a leg for it to stand on - it's not a principle in the least, just as excuse for their particular point they are making right then.

3. Republicans aren't for state's rights...

They are for whatever rights THEY want to grant or deny to everyone else.

4. What a slimy fuck. I don't understand his appeal at all. Even to conservatives.

To me, he comes off as a cross between a unctuous mortician and a shyster lawyer. (Kind of like a Texan Joe Lieberman.)

6. Every time I see him with that smirk all I think of is the class snitch.

9. Embarrassed

My Senator is an opportunist, a demagogue, and a nut. He makes me ill to hear speak. Unfortunately, Republican senators seem to have lifetime jobs from Texas, they either die or retire, seldom voted out.
