If you have been following my sparse postings lately ( and judging by the hit counter, you haven’t) you will know that I am no fan of the junior Senator from the less than great state of Texas, Ted Cruz. In my lifetime, I have seldom seem an individual more vile, self serving, selfish bastard in American politics-and that is saying a lot. Especially when consider the long history of vile, self serving bastards we have had in American politics over the last 240 years.
myopic self-righteous, power hungry asshole who won’t listen to anyone or change his views no matter the circumstances.
That guy you’re dating is a total Ted Cruz. Run for the hills before he defunds your abortion savings account.

If a bus ran him over on the road, I would really have to think hard about running over to help him, or giving the bus driver a 100 dollars for performing a public service. Even the father of the underworld is wondering about this guy:
My Canadian Counterpart, whose writing I dearly miss ( and I wish was commenting on this election) had him sized up pretty well back in 2013:
I’ve never met Ted Cruz, so I can’t say as an absolute certainty that he’s a psychopathic retard. But because he’s a Republican and a Tea Partier, he can’t honestly object to either characterization, since both are such a central part of his political base.
Republicans and Teapers get awfully pissy when I say things like that, but I’m hardly the one that’s been in the trenches finding new and ever more self-defeating ways to turn superstition and stupidity into conservative virtues.
Even before the advent of the Tea Party, supposedly conservative politicians have equated self-promoting ignorance as folksiness, which explains the non-sexual appeal of Sarah Palin perfectly. Christ, when I try to explain to reasonable, intelligent people why I hold conservative positions, I have to bend over backwards to demonstrate that I’m not a fucking yahoo. And that’s exhausting because people like Ted Cruz have made it their life’s mission to make it exhausting. ………….
But people with normal cognitive functions – including most rational Republicans – have come to loathe Cruz with the power of a thousand suns.
I don’t want to see Cruz turned into Robert Taft, the serious conservative that wasn’t given a chance. He needs to be Alf Landon, the guy who got beaten within an inch of his fucking life.
And those are just the printable sentiments I have for him. Under the influence of Scotch I have a whole different view point.
So imagine my surprise when I read that even people who are supposed to be on his side, truly hate the guy. And he really may be spending his summers in the 7th circle of hell:
Much of the discussion – and laughs – focused on Boehner’s views on the current presidential candidates. Segueing into the topic, Kennedy asked Boehner to be frank given that the event was not being broadcasted, and the former Speaker responded in kind. When specifically asked his opinions on Ted Cruz, Boehner made a face, drawing laughter from the crowd.
“Lucifer in the flesh,” the former speaker said. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”
On which, Mr Boehner and I are in complete agreement. Wow. Vindication from an very unlikely source.
So given that Satan’s image picked a running mate, just the day after he was mathematically eliminated from having a realistic shot at enough delegates to win the nomination, what does Mr. Boehner’s pronouncement make Carly Fiorina?
