Ted Cruz Walks Out Of Nelson Mandela Memorial Service In Protest

Did Cruz know Castro would be speaking??


Ummm....yeah.


I wonder, was it just spontaneous ?


Ummm...no.


You can bet the memorial was planned months, if not years, in advance of Mandela's death. Since Obama was going to be there, the Secret Service knew exactly who was going scratch their ass at the ceremony and when they were going to do it. Teabag Ted was part of the US delegation so yeah, he knew the speaker lineup. Again, his walkout was no more than showboating for his flash-in-the-pan presidential run in 2016.
 
I find it telling that Dems are still depending on Cruz and the Paul Brouns in Georgia to speak and remove all doubt..From my perspective, the GOP has circled the wagons quite well since reopening the gov't..Hence, the "minimal" budget so GOPees could get back to bashing ACA, before their primaries .
Ummm....yeah.

That's kinda what I thought.

It's good that we agree that it would be futile to discuss facts about Ted Cruz and you would continue to hold on to your false beliefs about him. Glad I didn't waste my time trying to give information that is readily available anyway. Also reinforces my belief that liberals need to lie to promote their agenda.

It reinforces my belief that you aren't interested in actually having a discussion, that you'll prefer to claim that liberals don't understand the wonder and majesty that is Ted Theodore Cruz III, offer nothing to back it up, and play the victim.

Who ever said anything about "wonder" and "majesty"? I don't want any kind of majesty near my government.
 
Cruz...way overrated.

Not so much.

On a douche scale of 1-10.....he rates pretty high.;)

An orchestrated stunt....from him.....naw......say it ain't so!
 
Ted Cruz stands for the Constitution and the rights and liberties of our citizens that it protects; and the protections from an overbearing, intrusive government. All grounds for the left to hate him. Or maybe it is just racism?
 
I wouldn't even go...

Cruz is soft if he did go

Why wouldnt you go? Because your in this fringe group that seeks somehow fighting for equality is the equivalence to "terrorism"?

If the founding fathers were black, he'd call them terrorists.

Where do you want me to start?

I think the best thing is because Mandela didn't use civilized tactics and pandered to some insane dictators and assholes.

I understand the concept of Geo-politics, but I don't believe the ends justify the means.......

Also not knowing the man is another good reason - like Obama.

Wait a sec...
Is the USA not civilized then? I mean we do the exact same thing and have done for sometime now.. I think you mean Mandela purtook in "realpolitk"...

Then i guess by your book ever state is in fact "uncivilized" becasue every single state pretty much does business with some dictator one way or another.
