Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) drew audible gasps Thursday when he told gathering of Christian conservatives that Democrats intended to amend the Constitution to limit free speech.

“When you think it can’t get any worse, it does,” Cruz warned at the Watchmen on the Wall gathering of pastors sponsored by the Family Research Council.

“This year, I’m sorry to tell you, the United States Senate is going to be voting on a constitutional amendment to repeal the First Amendment,” Cruz said, to the audible shock of the crowd.

1. Why doesn't he tell them that "little green men will be found on Mars"?

makes as much sense.....

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

2. He'd get more reaction from his base if he made it the second amendment.

3. I love The Onion!

Oh, wait......

[Xyzse]

14. That's what I thought too...

[Thinkingabout]

4. He would get a better reaction if he resigned and promised to never run for another office.

[Sheepshank]

16. This kind of overt lies is what will kill any hope of a Presidency

..well that and his nutcase daddy. Anyone and everyone will use this against him. This is akin to the 47%er Mitt Romney will never live down.

Besides, Obama should be able to acheive this pretty easily given he (1) can't run for office again and has nothing to lose and (2) Congress will be right there backing up Obama's attmpt

5. Good grief!

What keeps his ears apart?

And to the crowd that was audibly shocked. Unless, of course, they were shocked that Cruz would say something so ridiculous.

[Takket]

6. its amazing people can just walk around and say whatever and the electorate could care less

They just want to hear what the want to hear. Who cares if there is any truth or evidence?

[liberal N proud]

7. What a paranoid little pin head creep

[hobbit709]

8. Projection, projection, projection!

He's living up to his name Ted Carnival Cruz-adrift, lost at sea and full of shit.

[NuclearDem]

9. If that's what it takes to get Ted to shut his trap...

[sakabatou]

10. Dafuq?

[wandy]

11. One dollar = One vote is very important to Teapublicans.............

It is how the people they represent can show their appreciation for the good work these elected officials do for them.

[Rybak187]

12. When it doesn't happen it will be because he "exposed" the plot of course

[hadrons]

13. Who's more to blame ....

Cruz or the idiots who believe this stuff and demand to hear it?

And no I didn't read the story and if it's a hoax so what - the nitwit cult members are the type to take statements like this seriously anyhow.

[MohRokTah]

15. He doesn't want his billionaire sugar daddies shut down.

That's the amendment he's talking about, the one to shut down the Citizens United and McCutcheon decisions.

[Sheepshank]

17. I'd bet this is really about Citizens United

CU ostensibly won on the merits of freedom of Speech, a First Amendment issue.

If its from this angle that there is a strike to stop Citizens United, I'm pretty much all for it too...a huge woo hoo,

[COLGATE4]

18. Would it be totally unfair to

lying sacks of shit the world over to call this asshole a 'lying sack of shit'??

[madamesilverspurs]

19. Effing Idjit

[mylye2222]

20. He and Rep.Issa are the Idiots of the Year.
