1. That's a face that just begs for the...

...the vengeful gods of Darwin, smirking from their sadistic clouds above, to send him an extra large helping of karma.

[Martin Eden]

3. When I see that face I see the pathology of American politics

When I try to wrap my mind around the mindset of someone who would vote for that creature I get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.

29. bakfyefengezite?

perfect.

[PDJane]

38. BUCK-five-en-ge ("g" pronounced like in "go")-zicht.

It's a great word.

[Voice for Peace]

46. zicht = ziked?

[PDJane]

47. Close enough. It's a gutteral sound. Hm.

go here:

[adirondacker]

26. It appears that a small penis is attached to the bridge of his nose.

Am I the only one who sees that in this picture? It's creeping me out!
Perhaps that's a touch of Darwinism right there.

[Voice for Peace]

30. He shall forevermore be Penis Nose Cruz

[adirondacker]

34. Penocruzio. Everytime he lies...

[Voice for Peace]

35. !!!

[Blue_In_AK]

39. OMG, you're right!

I'll never look at him the same again.

[adirondacker]

41. I'm sorry.

Maybe I should have kept that bit of information to myself.

[unionthug777]

42. i see it !!! lmao

well...he IS a dickhead !!! imo

[turbinetree]

2. Impeachment

Its the U.S. Supreme Court folks and since this guy is in the senate and if one of there colleagues in that chamber dies or retires imagine this right wing hypocrite trying to not seat the presidents choice under the Constitution.
So if you don't vote, don't whine you have no right and only yourself to blame, for leading the charge of doing nothing except repeal everything and Impeach a duly elected president

[calimary]

7. MAN-OH-MAN, you said it!!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

4. goddammit, that face makes me puke.

Ugh.

[calimary]

6. Utterly hideous, isn't it!

I don't know which is uglier - the face itself, or what's beneath and behind it. I don't know what makes him uglier, his looks or his ideas.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

14. seriously!

I remember reading a piece by a college roommate of his. Said he was a scummy little authoritarian prick then, too.

They're wired different, and I'll never understand the mindset.

[geardaddy]

20. It makes me want to punch.

Ugh.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. that too....

With my steel toe boots!

[geardaddy]

22. Yes!

[RVN VET]

5. I voted, as a Republican for more than 10 years

who voted for Nixon (honest to God, I did!) and Reagan (suffered from a brain fart that time) I voted straight Democrat.

There's a decent guy here running for County Executive. I received a call from a person doing a survey who asked me about him and I said, frankly, if he wasn't a Republican, I might consider it. Maybe I'm getting too old for this. If Jesus Christ returned to Earth and ran for office as Republican, I'd vote for the other guy/gal.

(He would not even consider running as a Republican, btw. Loved the poor, He did. Hell, on that count alone, He wouldn't even have been invited to GOP meetings.)

Anyway I voted for the good guys -- and a couple of less-bad guys -- but still hear echoes of that marvelous, prophetic poem by Yeats:

"The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

Ted Cruz is certainly high on the list of the worst, and his passionate intensity is like fingernails on a blackboard. (But "Senator" Jodi Ernst? Really? Is it possible that Iowans are that naive and foolish?) I just hope that the Innocents (i.e., Progressives) manage to tread water long enough to vote him and his brother and sister GOPs back to the dark ages they oozed from.

[classof56]

13. Well said!

And thanks for the Yeats' poem. Words to remember!

Best.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

16. props from me too.

[Voice for Peace]

28. oozed. yes.

that's it.

[NYC_SKP]

8. I've stayed at the Hotel Captain Cook, it's a union hotel. WTF...

WTFis Cruz doing there?

I met and spoke with Jen Granholm there.

OMG!

[Blue_In_AK]

37. Yes. Yes, it is.

From the comments I'm reading on FB and the Alaska Dispatch, not too many people were impressed by his Cruzness. The state of Alaska lost almost $40 million during his stupid government shutdown, and we're just not as Teabaggy as he thinks. Ohio Dan Sullivan is so out of touch with Alaskans that he doesn't even realize that we make fun of Texans - and not in a good way.

[BlueJazz]

9. When I look at that face and hear his plans, my first thought is...

..garbage disposal

[nxylas]

11. I think you'll get partisan gridlock whoever wins

What won't happen if the Democrats retain the Senate, however, is Congress sending an endless stream of bills to the President's desk knowing full well that he'll veto them, and then accusing him of intransigence when he does. Read the right-wing press, they've more or less admitted that this will be their strategy (though of course, they pretend that these bills will offer sensible, bipartisan solutions to America's problems, whereas I think we all know what they'll really be like).

[emulatorloo]

23. Endless "investigations" if R's control the Senate

Lots of taxpayer dollars down the drain

[ballyhoo]

12. Except for maybe Eric Cantor, there is no more disgusting face

in politics than Cruz's.

[Voice for Peace]

31. Off topic do you think Scott Walker has gotten away with so much because

of his resemblance to a popular television character?

[ballyhoo]

36. No, but they sure are close. I can't for the life of me

figure out why the voters voted for Scott Walker. He is a weasel.

[Voice for Peace]

45. It's a subconscious thing.. if the evil politician reminds you of somebody

like Ross, and it is a warm fuzzy association, you will see the evil
politician through that lens. It will be hard to turn against him.

[R.Quinn]

15. Cruz has the kind of face

that I would like to punch.

[czarjak]

17. Thanks, Kay Bailey....

Thinking you could beat Gov.Goodhair, you gave us this. You really shouldn't have.

[TRoN33]

18. I'd bet his smirk face got himself punched plenty of times in his lifetime.

[PeoViejo]

19. Cruz looks like a dedicated Wanker

At least those degenerate Sperm didn't get to fulfill their Mission.

[polynomial]

24. The Cruz political time is up

The walk to the pole to vote here in Illinois was an eureka moment. I was thinking about all those political commercials Connected to EarlG’s faces that should be locked in pillory.

Especially those that claim the other party was in office too long, example as most Republican Tea party types dazzle, schmooze, convolute everything, including last minute sound bites that is similar to the other party.

The ones that jump out at me are typical of the Republican last minute razzmatazz about the other side has been in office far too long.

From my view there are several types but two important types; those that serve the public, or those that serve their own interest.

I would discern that billionaires expect a return on their investment. Or figure a way to tap the system.

It’s interesting that a person with a passion for good to serve the public is argued that they have done it enough the political time is up, or are not good because of pictures, with words that may not support the picture advertised that an electorate is viewing. There has to be a gradient in that time element that vectors toward the needs of the electorate.

A good political person is also like an artist spending all his life devoted to service the electorate yet could characterized in what I call false positives. Those poles advertised on cable news use matrix math that sift through and avoid very ugly issues.

Yes, the political advertisements are out of control, the lies are obnoxious and culturally condescending, the worse part are that these one percenters make more money because of the hyper-crude crazy broadcasting which is definitely a profiteering marketing mission guaranteed the media on balance give each other life lock profits…

[geretogo]

25. Why is this inmate allowed to escape from the institution for the criminally insane and rome free ?

[Voice for Peace]

27. how could even the mother love that face?

[SoapBox]

32. This dick makes want to vomit.

Liar...crooked...scum.

[Doc Holliday]

33. To paraphrase my homegirl Natalie Maines:

"A whole lot of us are ashamed that this sorry sack of fecal matter is from Texas."

[Burf-_-]

40. Cruz gets my vote....

for most PUNCHABLE face of all time. Smarmy looking bastard.

[japple]

43. PLEASE, PLEASE take this down. I cannot stand coming to DU with this shit face

on the home page. Please. This is vomit inducing. I have a weak stomach and cannot handle it. Please take it down.

ETA: If I can get my allergy dr. to fax a note to DU, will you take it down?

[IronLionZion]

44. That's nice, but those red state democrats are sooooo centrist sometimes
