this is to appeal to the lunatic Ted Nugent fringe of the GOP? Reprehensible and sickening, regardless.

but seems aware of Cruz's assholeishness

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/in-the-loop/wp/2014/04/24/the-day-after-cruz-posed-with-a-tiger-skin/

Cruz’s spokeswoman Catharine Frazier says he was kidding, and had no intention of bringing the tiger pelt back to Washington. He had hosted a fundraiser in his home state for Lee and “they ran across it in Houston and took a picture.” She could not say whether it was real.

...

And Bernie Unti, senior policy adviser at the Humane Society of the United States, said, “We fear it’s real, but real or fake, it sends a bad message to the public at a time when we are trying to save the world’s tigers from extinction.”

So we can go ahead and assume Cruz lost the animal rights vote?

...

UPDATE: Frazier, Cruz’s spokeswoman, wrote to us that the office is not defensive of the picture.
“It’s unfortunate the same outrage isn’t displayed by the left when it comes to defending the lives of hundreds of thousands of unborn babies aborted every year,” she said in an email.

This pic and that e-mail just goes to show how out of touch the CONservatives are.

dig at us and shoutout to their fans. They didn't kill the tiger, so I'd suggest ignoring it and getting our revenge at the ballot box.

If we have to say anything, we might just call them wimps for never facing areal tiger.

Hey Repukes, what about defending the lives of the BORN ones?
