Good riddance to him. All he had to do was pay $100 to renounce his Cdn citizenship and write a letter he didn't want it. and he only did it when he was running for President. Not at all like being a US citizen born out of the USA has to do... Pay $2,350 plus report their All their bank accounts in the country they live in - 6 years worth and 6 years of US tax returns be filed. perhaps facing fines and also pay an exit tax of 30 percent of their assets. even if they never lived, worked or had property in the USA in their whole life.

Cruz is Joe McCarthy reincarnated. He fits right in with Texas mentality. He is a coward.

And I speak from the point of view of someone who encountered selfish, obnoxious Arizonans on a daily basis.

I'm sure there are nice Canadians out there, just saying that I've never met any....

Ted Cruz — who voted against Hurricane Sandy aid — calls for federal relief following Texas floods

Ted Cruz is a filthy shameless hypocrite. IOW a typical republican!

And all the Texan republicans who now have their hands out for some socialist help from the evvvvvvil goobermint run by the scary black man as well!

What about Jade Helm Texans? Its all a government plot to take over Texas I tell you!

to make the ground too muddy for the Army's tanks to be able to be used thus giving the Texas Rangers, who are already on the high ground, the advantage over our infantry.

One has to admire the Texan's ingenuity and weather control.

about the Texan's ability to control the climate. But just think about it, how many Texans do you know that believe in climate change? That's right they know it isn't climate change... it's climate control! Dry up the west coast and blanket the east coast with snow and all of the talented people move to Texas, brilliant.

I'd like to think that my senators, Chris Coons and Tom Carper, along with Rep John Carney would show how they are better than someone like Ted Cruz and make sure that the people who have been harmed by the flooding and tornadoes in Texas get the help they need.

They should do what the people they elected to congress are always telling everybody else to do. Pull themselves up by their bootstraps and fix it. If you need money, hold a bake sale or spaghetti dinner at the local church. They don't need to be sucking off the teet of the evil big government. Any time now the invisible hand of the free market will come along and rebuild their homes, they tell us all the time that it's the answer to everything.
