Ted Cruz for President ?

I really don't know much about him. But, he has suddenly become the face of the Republican Party . He and Rand Paul.

The only thing either need is for Obamacare to turn out to be as big a cluster as it has the potential to be.

It appears after all the talk only 11 1/2 million more are going to be insured. Everybody's cost is going up. Except for the employers that are dumping their insured.

Taxing medical devices. What a great way to get less of them.

So, the employees who get dumped and put on the exchange get to pay $300 to $400 a month. What a great deal.

I think it was MSNBC.

Seriously, I don't remember. I'm sure it was not the mainstream media.

For starters....................

He was born in Canada and has the papers to prove it. Not that Rightwingers would care where a Presidential candidate was born.

I didn't know that. If he was indeed born in Canada I would think he would be ineligible.

There is no "if"...he recently said he'd renounce his Canadian citizenship. He may have even done it.

Interesting the hero's the reps pick...a Canadian/cuban......they love Nugent, a draft dodging pedophile....the list goes on and on......

I like Nugent too even though he is a little crazy.

Hmm a self-proclaimed Master of the Universe like you should have known that by now.

That term comes from The Bonfire of the Vanities a book by Tom Wolfe. Not the same guy from your home state of North Carolina that wrote Look Homeward, Angel.....

The only thing I ever proclaimed is that I made it on my own.

I can see why that might equate to master of the universe to some of you.

It is a great book. And Look Homeward, Angel is really great.
