Tough guy Ted Cruz To People Magazine:

"You know I'll tell you, in my house, if my daughter Cather, the five-year-old, says something she knows to be false, she gets a spanking," he said. "Well, in America, the voters have a way of administering a spanking."

......try for five seconds to imagine Cruz suggesting “spanking” Christie, Bush, Rubio, or (God forbid) Trump. (Carson or Fiorina, unfortunately, might not be spared.) The sexism (of which infantilizing is one aspect, hence the allergy many of us have to being referred to as “the girls” once we get older than 18.

1. This guy terrifies me.

I'd campaign wholeheartedly for Trump if the alternative was Cruz. Yes, Cruz is that bad.

Trump is a showman and charlatan. Cruz is ideologue and "true believer". The fact that Cruz is leading in some polls scares the crap out of me.

3. +1,000

Pure evil

[dembotoz]

4. hate to agree but i do

when i ponder under which candidate am i most likely to die in prison the answer is alway cruz

being from wisconsin and having signed the recall petition i am already on the OFFICIAL naughty list

6. My son said much the same thing to me yesterday.

[Docreed2003]

13. The fact that he is a "true believer" in his ideology

Is what is so frightening to me as well. He believes every word he says is true and is aligned with the work of God Almighty and any who disagree are shaking their fists in defiance of God. No compromise, no common ground...only acceptance of the beliefs or rejection, and those that reject are rejecting God. This is what happens when evangelicals move from the pulpit to politics. Their rigid worldview and beliefs are set in stone.

[foo_bar]

26. I'm skeptical about "true believer" even in scare quotes

Not that it really matters, it's like wondering if Hitler "truly" hated the Jews vs. being a highly accomplished opportunist, but there's no reason to believe Cruz is sincere about anything. I agree that Trump is too cosmopolitan to believe his own backwater nativist spew, but that hardly matters either, actually nothing said in a primary seems to matter once compassionate-conservative or tough-on-stuff-liberal season rolls around. And once they're elected it's anyone's guess, or maybe you don't have to guess, it's either more of the same or much much more of the same. I'm almost less scared of Christian Dominionists than the sheep's clothing ones, I mean it's hard to win a general election on "70% of you fuckers are going to hell" but I guess stranger things have happened.

30. Cruz Doctrine: "Nuke 'em all and let God sort them out."

Trump Doctrine: "Why have nukes if you don't use them?"

Carson Doctrine: "Sometimes to kill bad guys you have to kill women and children, too."

Jeb! Doctrine: "Stuff happens."

2. So I guess Cruz himself gets spanked every time he lies?

maybe that's why he lies so much?

[kpete]

7. Man who tells truth 4% of the time says he spanks his 5-year-old daughter if she tells a lie

http://www.politifact.com/personalities/ted-cruz/

[Chemisse]

12. No. Clearly, in Cruz's world, only women and children get spanked.

While men administer the spankings.

I loathe him and everyone like him.

[FarPoint]

5. Spanking!!!!!

...I think Ted is sexualizing this campaign ....

[davidn3600]

8. Is this some creepy way to get the "50 Shades" fans to vote for him?

[spanone]

11. Canadian Admits Beating His Five-Year Old Child

SICK freak.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

15. He's weird

[treestar]

17. Unattractive name he gave his daughter

I guess she was being named for the author?

Just another thing that makes Cruz creepy.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

[ryan_cats]

[B Calm]

[UtahLib]

[HereSince1628]

24. Not only a corporatist but a corporalist soon expected to be a

seen as a stinking copralist

[gembaby1]

25. Oh Oh

Someone needs a spanking.....who could it be?

[daleanime]

27. Choosing the less evil candidate for the last 30+ years...

is what's lead us to this. Some truly terrifying people are now considered 'serious' contenders for the office of president.

When will we fight for a change?

[MisterP]

31. "well, if you don't choose the less-evil candidate THEY will win!"

[daleanime]

32. Then it's time to change the game....

wouldn't you think?

[MisterP]

33. no! we must play by the rules! who cares if the country ends up on meth! it'd be on krokodil

if the Republicans won! and don't hold that against us next election, because we plan on saying "who cares if the country ends up on krokodil! it'd be injecting Drano if the Republicans won!"

[MohRokTah]

28. So on top of everything hes, he abuses his daughter. eom

[Blecht]

34. That's his base

Misogynistic child abusers.

They'll eat this shit right up.
