Ted Cruz’ Creepy, Mean-Spirited New Year’s Message For Fox Viewers
Source: Newshounds 1 hour ago
While other candidates used their New Years Eve airtime on Fox News for brief messages of good cheer, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz droned on for nearly two minutes about what he yearns to destroy, plus a long, nasty joke about President Obama. Other candidates, including Democrat Martin OMalley, appeared in video messages that were generally upbeat. But Cruz, in a voice filled with hammy hope and optimism, talked only of all the things he looks forward to obliterating:
As I previously noted, Republican candidates Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina got brief live stints on Foxs New Years Eve special. Frontrunner Donald Trump was the guest of honor. But hosts Eric Bolling and Kimberly Guilfoyle were so busy slobbering over Trump that they almost missed the countdown that Trump was supposed to do and they ended up doing it late, after January 1, 2016 had already begun and the Times Square ball had already dropped.
CRUZ: Happy New Year. 2016 is going to be an incredible year. 2016 is going to be the last year of the Obama presidency. 2016 is going to be the last year before Hillary retires permanently to Chappaqua. 2016 is going to be the last year that we have ObamaCare. Cruz apparently thought the idea of 17 million people losing their health insurance was such happy news, he didnt feel the need to tell anyone what will replace it.
CRUZ: 2016 is going to be the last year until we abolish the IRS. And 2016 is going to be the last year until we utterly destroy ISIS and defeat radical Islamic terrorism. Like 1980, 2016 is going to be a very, very good year. He didnt say a single thing about what hed create or how he'd fund such things as the military that's going to "utterly destroy" ISIS without an IRS. Not to mention roads, bridges, airport security and Social Security. I would not be surprised if Cruz intended to privatize all of them.

(28,939 posts)They can't control him and he's making head way with the faithful. So trot out one of their own who can be controlled and try to bring them back to the flock with more and better. Yeah, Ailes probably gave the blessing.
This should be interesting.

(14,308 posts)Assuming this will eventually come up in the campaign.
Cruz's mother was an American citizen.
His father was a foreign citizen (Cuba)
Obama's mother was an American citizen.
His father was a foreign citizen (Kenya)
Let's just assume Obama was born in Kenya (which I don't believe for a second)
Then Obama and Cruz would be in the exact same situation.
mother citizen, father not citizen, born in foreign country.
So, as you said, where are the birthers?

Losing those blockquotes to set off the comments by Cruz from the comments by the author of the article mixes things up and makes it hard to makes sense of the various statements.

He has no idea of what will happen if he's successful in destroying the IRS and the ACA. Happily, he won't have a chance to try.

(50,168 posts)Even Cruz would admit we will have to collect some taxes to run the country. If the IRS is gone, where do they go? Is he going to put the Vice President in charge of taxation? Cruz is a simple-minded huckster hoping to gain fame and fortune in the manner of Glenn Beck and that's about it. People who read Seuss on the Senate floor cannot be taken seriously.

Yuckabee mean spirited cruel sociopath nasty jerk scum dumb ass nuts scary horrible man overt creepiness evil sick bastard cruel obnoxious repulsive piece of shit.
I am sure I would add he is a disaster on the golf course too because the best he can do is make a shameful appearance.
He belongs in the tar pits ,I mean where else could he belong ?
Stay tuned folks ,great entertainment ahead !

Wash. state Desk Jet
(3,426 posts)Yes they just love me at faux because I bring in really great ratings ,fantastic unbelievable ratings ,my fans are always there wherever I go !
But that's beside the point ,right now I am somewhat confused ,you know Fiornia ,Carley ,she's a graduate of Stanford and she rooted for Iowa in the big game of the year. She is somewhere between 2 and 3 per cent in the Iowa polls ,even Jeb might be doing as much as 3.5 per cent there, so what does Fiornia figure ,is she going to pick up a pointer or two !
The thing of it is in my confusion, I really have to wonder ,are employees and those in the executive branches at places such as H.P really dumb dumb enough to fall for that kind of crap ? I mean it must have worked for her many times over the years ,after all she did manage to run H.P. into the ground ,are they really that dumb ?
I am sure Stanford was more than glad to shove her off onto Iowa ,I mean really, who needs what she brings on !
But I think the real question is who or what the hell is she really rooting for ? !
Murdoch is nothing more than a media pimp- he wanted to be king of the pimps but he was outed in his ways !The pimp believes that news itself isn't news at all, sensationalism is what sells ,journalists had to become media prostitutes in order to survive in the business. Most of them in his news of the world organization didn't mind at all ,you know having to prostitute themselves ,their work and the profession.The guy single handedly managed to turn print journalism into a perverted version of itself. In fact they viewed Murdoch as their king.But suddenly his kingdom imploded,and that's a very different story ! There is no nicey nice or politically correct way of putting it.
Stay tuned ,great entertainment coming soon !

"Sit atop my back, Gingerbread Man, and I will bear you safely across," says the fox.
A bit further into the stream, the fox says, "Move up to my neck, Gingerbread Man, the stream seems swifter here; you'll be safer on my neck."
Still further across the stream, the fox instructs, "You should definitely move onto my nose, Gingerbread Man, the stream here is quite swift and dangerous, and you'll be safer where I can see you."
They land on the stream's opposite bank and in one very quick snap of his mouth, the fox swallowed down the Gingerbread Man.

(15,164 posts)The marine ended up being drafted to serve in the war that President Cruz started for no good reason and the old man's grandchildren all perished fighting in that same war. And the marine returned home and found all his benefits scrapped by the Cruz Administration in the interests of smaller government and the old man had all his social security benefits taken away from him for the same reason. Three years into the Cruz presidency, they both found themselves wondering the street as homeless men and had another chance encounter. They both cursed themselves for having being such insufferable jerks for cheering President Obama's departure from office and wished that they'd been more appreciative of his leadership while they still had it. And in 2020, American voters in all 50 states booted Cruz's sorry ass from office and he ended up serving life in a federal prison for all the crimes and abuses of power he committed while in office, hated by both his fellow inmates and the American people.

NEW YORK Donald Trumps ad begins with a shot of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then comes a U.S. battleship launching a cruise-missile strike. It moves swiftly through an explosive montage: The suspects in the recent California terrorist attack. Shadowy figures racing across the U.S.-Mexico border. Islamic State militants.
The narrator, a deep-voiced man, speaks ominously: Thats why hes calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until we can figure out whats going on. Hell quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And hell stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for.
The spot closes with the image of Trump thundering at one of his rallies, We will make America great again!
The Republican presidential candidates long-awaited and hotly anticipated first ad, which was shared exclusively with The Washington Post, is set to launch Monday as part of a series that will air in the final month before the Iowa caucuses. Trump has vowed to spend at least $2 million a week on the ads an amount that will be amplified by the countless times they are likely to be played on cable news and across social media.
The decision to air television ads which Trump hinted at for months, though the billionaire mogul has been loath to spend more than he deems necessary represents a tightly produced new act for a candidate who has fed largely off free media attention.

In an interview Sunday with The Post, Trump said that he has six to eight ads in production and that his was a major buy and its going to go on for months. He said he hopes the spots impress upon undecided voters that the country has become a dumping ground.
