Cruz steps into the ring...

[Trebuchet]

He was passive aggressively bullying to Charles Bolden, NASA administrator. It seemed very poor manners to me. And he opposses gay marriage and Common Core is the biggest domestic policy he can remember long enough to tweet about wanting to cancel.

He's promising to "repeal every word of Common Core". Which isn't a law, so there's nothing to repeal. A prime example of what I call "the intelligent fool". Unlike Sarah Palin, who is just an ordinary fool.

He'd also think that your handle refers to a container hanging on a tree....

Could be my imagination, but it seems many people have taken to using the term "intelligent" when invoking the name Ted Cruz. I keep wondering why. Is it because they can't think of anything else nice to say about him, or is it sort of an implied "even though he's a little nuts", or "despite his desire for a theocracy"?

He's a Harvard law grad, but so are lots of senators, representatives and bureaucrats. He seems to have an outstanding reputation as a student, but that may or may not be a result of intelligence.

Ted Cruz to sign up for Obamacare.

Senator Ted Cruz helped lead an effort to shut down the government in 2013 in an attempt to defund President Obama’s health care law. Now the Texas senator, a newly announced Republican presidential candidate, is signing up for coverage under it.

Mr. Cruz’s wife, Heidi, took a leave of absence from her job at Goldman Sachs late last week. That appears to have ended the family’s health care coverage.

So Mr. Cruz is now turning to the very thing he has spent more than two years vowing to repeal.

There, fixed that headline

Ted Cruz forced to sign up for Obamacare when he realized that the $10 a month bargain policy he found on a matchbook only covered ingrown toenails, and no pre-existing hangnails.

FIFY

Whose forcing him? He could walk the walk and go without insurance like he wants millions of Americans to do.

Then he'd have to pay the tax penalty, and paying taxes is evil.

Or he could use the coverage congress had before the obamanazis forced them to accept Obamacare as a political stunt.

Oh wait, political stunt! Yay obama cares!

You didn't read the article at all, did you? Perhaps you should read what you are commenting about before posting. What you just posted shows that all you care about is sophistry.

Looks around. Did you mean to respond to me? Because had you read the article you would have seen that what I wrote was accurate. Congress healthcare was was switched to the Obama care which they are forced to use.

I don't know who you were responding to, but save the personal attacks for reddit next time.

Imagine!

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) launched his 2016 presidential campaign by announcing to the world that God wants a massive tax cut for the rich, and for tens of millions of Americans to lose their access to healthcare.

Senator Ted Cruz helped lead an effort to shut down the government in 2013 in an attempt to defund President Obama’s health care law. Now the Texas senator, a newly announced Republican presidential candidate, is signing up for coverage under it.

Mr. Cruz’s wife, Heidi, took a leave of absence from her job at Goldman Sachs late last week. That appears to have ended the family’s health care coverage.

Exactly, since the facts disagree with his assertion.

What coverage did they have before Obamacare?

All he needs is insurance. Which was readily available before the ACA. Why is Obamacare any different?

Insurance by sophistrycare.

Look it up yourself.

It isn't. Conservatives just want to call all health insurance "Obamacare" now.

Ahhh. So certain individuals are wrong. He's not forced to get 'Obamacare'. He can just shop for private insurance without going through the exchanges, or using his government provided insurance. He's probably wealthy enough to do it.
