Ted Cruz Imitating Simpsons
« on: July 02, 2015, 07:55:11 AM »
Why would Ted humiliate himself??  This is a guy who has portrayed him self as a staunch conservative running for the POTUS and he's deciding to imitate Simpson characters?  Really Ted?  Really?  I am quickly losing respect for him.  The last thing this country needs is another "CLOWN" in the White House.

A man with a sense of humor. Oh, the horror!



It appears that you believe "staunch conservatism" and humor are incompatible. Is that correct?

No.  I do NOT believe that staunch conservatism and humor are incompatible.  Humor is needed by everyone and laughter makes the world go round. 

I received a video of Cruz and his impressions via e-mail from his fund raising group, wanting a vote on the impressions and then asking for money after the vote.  Odd at best and I felt this was inappropriate for trying to raise money for such a serious cause.  Perhaps he was trying to appeal to a younger crowd? Perhaps he was trying to just get name recognition and appeal to the low information voters;....Ya Cruz is the guy running for president who does Simpson impressions"!  Perhaps he was trying to show that he wasn't an "uptight" conservative?  Maybe he was trying to show that he was just like everyone else?  I don't know. He needs people to take his abilities, experience and qualifications seriously and not look at him like he's some kind of joke.

I like Cruz and he is still my #1 choice for GOP and I feel very strongly that he is one of the people who is this country's last hope.

So, humor is good, but humor is bad. Got it.

There are times when humor is appropriate and times when humor is inappropriate.

And you believe that 12 months before the Republican National Convention, 16 months before the general election, is "inappropriate".

 :whatever: :whatever: :whatever:

You may be more comfortable with this candidate:


Or maybe you can trust Ted Cruz' judgment, instead of trying to drive his campaign bus from the back seat.
