Oh, to be a Republican extremist for just one day

[Loup Garou]

What would it be like to be Ted Cruz for only a day, and to spend that day standing on the floor of the United States Senate, railing against the Affordable Care Act? To be a United States senator from Texas, just like Sam Houston and Lyndon Baines Johnson.

How great would that be, to ignore my party’s own leaders and threaten to plunge the nation into fiscal crisis, all in a futile effort to stop a duly passed, signed and constitutionally upheld law that could bring health insurance to 25 million of my fellow Americans? And not care one whit about them!

How fabulous to command the nation’s attention and compare the Affordable Care Act not only to Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham,” but to Neville Chamberlain’s appeasement of the Nazis at Munich, thus demonstrating an ignorance of children’s literature, 20th-century history and rhetorical excess all at once.

How marvelous to be a graduate of Harvard Law School and not know or care that researchers across the campus at the medical school had concluded that the lack of health care contributes to the premature deaths of 45,000 Americans each year.

2. Ignorance is Bliss??

3. It's the willful ignorance

that bothers me the most. Deep down he has to know how wrong he is, doesn't he?

7. He has some traits that I've seen in Sociopaths. (especially the last one)

Sociopaths are more spontaneous and intense than other people. They tend to do bizarre, sometimes erratic things that most regular people wouldn't do. They are unbound by normal social contracts. Their behavior often seems irrational or extremely risky.

Sociopaths are incapable of feeling shame, guilt or remorse. Their brains simply lack the circuitry to process such emotions. This allows them to betray people, threaten people or harm people without giving it a second thought. They pursue any action that serves their own self interest even if it seriously harms others. This is why you will find many very "successful" sociopaths in high levels of government, in any nation.

Sociopaths invent outrageous lies about their experiences. They wildly exaggerate things to the point of absurdity, but when they describe it to you in a storytelling format, for some reason it sounds believable at the time.

Sociopaths seek to dominate others and "win" at all costs. They hate to lose any argument or fight and will viciously defend their web of lies, even to the point of logical absurdity.

The best-known serial killers who successfully evaded law enforcement were sociopaths.

Sociopaths are incapable of love and are entirely self-serving. They may feign love or compassion in order to get what they want, but they don't actually FEEL love in the way that you or I do.

Sociopaths never apologize. They are never wrong. They never feel guilt. They can never apologize. Even if shown proof that they were wrong, they will refuse to apologize and instead go on the attack.

Sociopaths are delusional and literally believe that what they say becomes truth merely because they say it! Charles Manson, the sociopathic murderer, is famous for saying, "I've never killed anyone! I don't need to kill anyone! I THINK it! I have it HERE! (Pointing to his temple.) I don't need to live in this physical realm..."

6. Perhaps he has an allegiance to another country (satire)

I am wondering if his birth was paid for by socialized medicine in Canada

8. Just shit on yourself and leave it in your pants for 21 hours

Walk around sputter nonsense to anyone who will listen. And carry on like you don't know or care that you smell like shit. Then you will know what it feels like to be Ted Cruz

9. Cruz borrowed some Depends™ from David "Diapers" Vitter
