Basically liberals think we should vote for someone that wants to take our guns (his words), raise our taxes, put millions of O&G Texans out of work, enable reparations, and a host of other **** because...







Ted Cruz, a senator, went on vacation.

---

Scary that people ignore policy and vote based on optics.

Not the best optics I have to say.

---

Most everyone agrees this is bad optics, unfortunately.

---

Not true at all. There are dozens of posters who are furiously defending Ted over this.

---

I thought you said you were done

You rose from your fetal position and took your thumb out of your mouth one more time to make a post?

---

With that one particular poster.

It's funny how you insult me like that, while not offering anything substantive. That's pretty much all the GOP is today thanks to Trump. Just a sad group of angry people who insults anyone different from them as "*******"

---

Oh cry me a friggin' River

Conservatives have tried to engage liberals in policy debate on this forum for years, and of course liberals never show up

Well unless they are taking a shot at the character of conservatives on this board and in general

But hey look at this! Cruz goes to Mexico and suddenly it's a who's who of whiney liberals bawling over all over themselves

And like clockwork they'll disappear and be nowhere to be found when Biden, AOC, or some other liberal says or does something stupid (and trust me, they will), or a policy debate actually arises here

Where have you been during the dozens of threads dealing with actual policy? I mean, other than weed?

---

Settle down, you dont have to get so emotional and worked up.

I want a senator who serves his constituents and does work he isn't required to do to help the people who are hurting. Beto is doing that right now. Ted isn't.

He's some policy for you. We also need to scrap our own power grid and connect to a larger grid under federal jurisdiction. This whole idea of an independent, deregulated power grid didn't work out for us and we had to learn it the hard way. Winterize our power plants like it was recommended 10 years ago. Fire the entire board of ERCOT. Actually, may as well shut down the whole thing.

---

WTF is Beto doing other than tweeting and trying to exploit a situation? Jesus...

---

I actually explained earlier. He's doing a lot. He's making sure food, water, blankets, resources, etc get delivered to people in need while he has a bunch of volunteers phonebanking to check on people. And spreading word on how people can donate to food banks.

He's doing a hell of a lot more than Flyin' Ted is, that's for sure.

---

LOL if you think he's doing this out of the goodness of his heart and not to use for political ads.

---

wgas what the reason is. at the end of the day, you are either making a difference or you are not.

---

Unless it's Trump lol

Black unemployment/latino unemployment at all time lows and economy doing phenomenal for everyone, but he once made a crude locker room joke to another guy in private, so we better elect a bonafide racist segregationist child sniffer who is literally senile and neck deep in corruption. A guy who wants to implement policy that is bad for ALL and bows to China (prob because he has no choice).

Liberals are children and do not even deserve a seat at the adult table when it comes to setting policy. Used to be able to take them at least a bit seriously before they lost their damned minds.

My power is still out, 76 hrs into this. Ted can **** himself for all i care with a hot curling iron wherever he was going, his ass being here won't accomplish anything. There's enough politicians around blaming everyone but themselves.

Trump has successfully brainwashed you into believing that 50% of America is your enemy and want to destroy your way of life. And the only way to keep that from happening was to keep him in power.

---

OR...and stay with me here...we have our own f'ing eyes and brains and pay attention to the eo's and policies put forth by this administration (which were directly lied about during the campaign btw). policies that are currently destroying thousands of livelihoods. in other words, we pay attention to actions and not words. we don't need trump or any other politician to tell us what we can plainly see.

not many here give two f's about trump the man. what you don't understand is trump getting into office was a symptom of what we've witnessed through 8 years of o and now harris, i mean biden.

---

So he made you believe that without him, policies would be implemented that destroy thousands of livelihoods. Got it.

Democrats won in in 2020 large part because they mailed out ballots to every "adult" in the country and a lot of people voted for the first time in their lives. Those people, who do not care nor know enough about politics to vote typically, voted the same as you. So in short, democrats NEED morons to vote in high numbers in order to win. And you guys came through. Congrats.

(And yet you call yourself smart? LOL)

Ru-oh, me thinks this thread is not long for this world

---

so when you can't win an argument based on merit, you take it to twitter as a threat to expose/dox?

what a pathetically sad world this has become.

and this tweet is from a "journalist". so now our "journalists" have no interest in government corruption but instead spend their time scouring random message boards for people who dare question their dear leaders. and you cheer it on...

---

Argument, what argument? My only position on this was that it was a boneheaded move to go to Cancun from Ted.

Are you implying I posted this to Twitter?
Also when did I cheer it on?

Maybe stop making **** up?

Good Lord imagine having Ted Cruz as a family member.

I just wonder if there is any way to see when he bought the return ticket.

If it was a couple of days ago, the statement is true
