Ted Cruz’ Creepy, Mean-Spirited New Year’s Message For Fox Viewers

[big_dog]

Source: Newshounds 1 hour ago

While other candidates used their New Year’s Eve airtime on Fox News for brief messages of good cheer, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz droned on for nearly two minutes about what he yearns to destroy, plus a long, nasty joke about President Obama. Other candidates, including Democrat Martin O’Malley, appeared in video messages that were generally upbeat. But Cruz, in a voice filled with hammy hope and optimism, talked only of all the things he looks forward to obliterating:

As I previously noted, Republican candidates Dr. Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina got brief live stints on Fox’s New Year’s Eve special. Frontrunner Donald Trump was the guest of honor. But hosts Eric Bolling and Kimberly Guilfoyle were so busy slobbering over Trump that they almost missed the countdown that Trump was supposed to do and they ended up doing it late, after January 1, 2016 had already begun and the Times Square ball had already dropped.


CRUZ: Happy New Year. 2016 is going to be an incredible year. 2016 is going to be the last year of the Obama presidency. 2016 is going to be the last year before Hillary retires permanently to Chappaqua. 2016 is going to be the last year that we have ObamaCare. Cruz apparently thought the idea of 17 million people losing their health insurance was such happy news, he didn’t feel the need to tell anyone what will replace it.


CRUZ: 2016 is going to be the last year until we abolish the IRS. And 2016 is going to be the last year until we utterly destroy ISIS and defeat radical Islamic terrorism. Like 1980, 2016 is going to be a very, very good year. He didn’t say a single thing about what he’d create or how he'd fund such things as the military that's going to "utterly destroy" ISIS without an IRS. Not to mention roads, bridges, airport security and Social Security. I would not be surprised if Cruz intended to privatize all of them.

this ran at the top of the Faux News coverage last night

[sarge43]

1. Cruz is trying to out ugly Trump and doing a pretty good job, too.

That's about all he's good at.

[big_dog]

5. Cruz figures that he's got to go to the right of trump now to the 'true believers'

scary that Faux was leading with this last night, I guess Ailes has endorsed him more or less

[sarge43]

30. My opinion: Trump has the establishment top brass Repugs in a sweat.

They can't control him and he's making head way with the faithful. So trot out one of their own who can be controlled and try to bring them back to the flock with more and better. Yeah, Ailes probably gave the blessing.

This should be interesting.

[dhill926]

2. piece of shit....

that is all...

[trueblue2007]

3. CRUZ IS EVIL .... i bet he is the Anti-Christ.

[libodem]

6. Yep

You got that right.

[Voice for Peace]

7. Heeeeeheee

Cruz is a piece of it, for sure

[elmac]

51. Cruz is what happens when Canada is allowed to dump garbage here

His main goal is to turn the US into Canada's diaper.

[kairos12]

62. Probably even Satan would hate smarmy Cruz.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. Rubio's was equally ugly. I started a thread here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7489039

[big_dog]

10. thanks i missed that one

it was like fanboys and fangirls at comicon with Trump the clown at the ball drop

[Bernin]

8. Squiggy

is as creepy as they get.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Ted Cruz is an evil, sick bastard.

He is Dick Cheney all over again.

[totodeinhere]

18. Or in other words, he's a good Republican. n/t

[lastlib]

23. I think of him as Jesse Helms in a better suit.

I don't quite put him at the pinnacle with Vice-Emperor Cheney, but he may well approach it.

[radicalliberal]

46. The late segregationist leader Jesse Helms was Cruz' hero. He still is.

Cruz even looks like an arrogant bully (not to mention Joe McCarthy). I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if we found out that he got his jollies torturing small animals when he was a kid.

[Chasstev365]

11. WHERE ARE THE BIRTHERS?

It is a FACT that Cruz was born in Canada. Why is he even a candidate?

[Gregorian]

20. Hello...you aren't racist enough. He's still in office. Orly Taitz is still at it.

A bright and vigilant patriot. I think she got one of those in a magazine ad.

As long as Obama is in office, it's like an antiCruz deflector.

[Yupster]

49. A good question

Assuming this will eventually come up in the campaign.

Cruz's mother was an American citizen.
His father was a foreign citizen (Cuba)

Obama's mother was an American citizen.
His father was a foreign citizen (Kenya)

Let's just assume Obama was born in Kenya (which I don't believe for a second)

Then Obama and Cruz would be in the exact same situation.

mother citizen, father not citizen, born in foreign country.

So, as you said, where are the birthers?

[7wo7rees]

54. Damned good question?!! Where are they??! n/t

[63splitwindow]

12. And the stuff that guy MUST be hiding...

would put his overt creepiness to shame...

[link:|

[Depaysement]

13. I stopped at "17 million people lost coverage"

Rand Corp., hardly a radical left think tank, says 17 million gained coverage, even when accounting for those who lost it.

[csziggy]

56. The formatting from the original article was lost when it was copied here

Here is how it appears in the original:

Other candidates, including Democrat Martin O’Malley, appeared in video messages that were generally upbeat. But Cruz, in a voice filled with hammy hope and optimism, talked only of all the things he looks forward to obliterating:

CRUZ: Happy New Year. 2016 is going to be an incredible year. 2016 is going to be the last year of the Obama presidency. 2016 is going to be the last year before Hillary retires permanently to Chappaqua. 2016 is going to be the last year that we have ObamaCare.

CRUZ: 2016 is going to be the last year until we abolish the IRS. And 2016 is going to be the last year until we utterly destroy ISIS and defeat radical Islamic terrorism.

Like 1980, 2016 is going to be a very, very good year.

He didn’t say a single thing about what he’d create or how he'd fund such things as the military that's going to "utterly destroy" ISIS without an IRS. Not to mention roads, bridges, airport security and Social Security. I would not be surprised if Cruz intended to privatize all of them.

Losing those blockquotes to set off the comments by Cruz from the comments by the author of the article mixes things up and makes it hard to makes sense of the various statements.

[NastyRiffraff]

14. What a horrible little man

And ugly too. And mean. And cruel. And obnoxious. And repulsive. And so on.

He has no idea of what will happen if he's successful in destroying the IRS and the ACA. Happily, he won't have a chance to try.

[Helen Borg]

15. Wow, really presidential, sir!

[Matthew28]

16. Cruz scares me more then trump

The guy really believes that defunding and abolishing everything is the way. The guys a nut case on every level...

Pray that Hillary can sweep his trash out of congress.

[big_dog]

17. exactly, Cruz reallly believes the the crazy wingnut shit he says

Arbusto was takling about his supporters putting on the 'armour of god' for the attacks against him

[lastlib]

25. To borrow Short-Round's line:

"He no nuts--he CWAZY!!"

[Gregorian]

19. That is so convincing. He's got my vote!

My god it sounds like one big religiomilitary mashup.

[Grassy Knoll]

21. I Watched Don Lemon Getting Drunk

[big_dog]

29. Kathy Griffin also spray tanned the coop, that was worth some laughs

[DisgustipatedinCA]

22. Does the dumbass realize that even if he does win, he's not in until 2017?

He just gave Obama credit for destroying ISIS, and also (ironically enough) "Obamacare". Stupid, base piece of garbage.

[underpants]

24. Latching on to those who have served

He's scum

[Still In Wisconsin]

26. What a hateful, nasty jerk. No wonder his colleagues in the Senate hate him so much.

He almost makes our dear Scott Walker seem like a nice guy.

[Skittles]

27. the man is an outright sociopath

look at his face - he enjoys being cruel

[callous taoboy]

28. Pompous ass.

No class. No more mean-spirited people in government I say.

[paleotn]

31. doughboy gives me the creeps....

...worse than Yuckabee. I didn't think that was possible.

[vkkv]

32. He's insane - watch the video and be "amazed". n/t

[Blanks]

33. Cruz was in town a week or so ago...

They showed him on the local news. Despite the abundance of 'Cruz' signs, not a single person looked enthused.

Do you reckon they pay those people to show up?

[Vinca]

34. I've never understood the IRS obsession.

Even Cruz would admit we will have to collect some taxes to run the country. If the IRS is gone, where do they go? Is he going to put the Vice President in charge of taxation? Cruz is a simple-minded huckster hoping to gain fame and fortune in the manner of Glenn Beck and that's about it. People who read Seuss on the Senate floor cannot be taken seriously.

[big_dog]

35. conspiracy wingnuts are convinced that the IRS is targeting tea party groups

so they can use that as a front to put in a flat tax

[Vinca]

41. They probably think the Almighty will send dollars on a flaming pie from the sky to pay for things.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid people. I'm not a big fan of P.J. O'Rourke, but the other night I even heard him say half the population is dumb when discussing Trump and his supporters.

[Herman4747]

48. Yeah, I wonder how he intends to pay for the beloved military...

...and I wonder if abolishing the IRS is too crazy even for the majority of Republicans. I am not sure.

[Tommy2Tone]

36. I feel sad

you had to spend New Years Eve watching Fox News.

[Hulk]

37. One very sick, twisted, scary snake-oil salesman

Jebus, whenever I think of the fire breathing, deceitful, crazed evangelical lunatic...I think of Texas, and I think of this evil son-of-a-bitch.

[gregcrawford]

38. Every time I look at this smarmy weasel...

... I want to boil my eyeballs clean. What an utterly repulsive waste of skin.

[Still In Wisconsin]

39. It's a sad fucking commentary on our country

that someone like this can even be considered a serious candidate for President. He makes shrub look like a nice guy and someone like Bob Dole seem downright kind.

[MiniMe]

40. As I say every time Cruz's name is mentioned...Canadian Ted Cruz

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

42. The Donald 2016 here

Ok got my pen in hand ,let me see ,it seems to say: Cruz is:-
Yuckabee mean spirited cruel sociopath nasty jerk scum dumb ass nuts scary horrible man overt creepiness evil sick bastard cruel obnoxious repulsive piece of shit.

I am sure I would add he is a disaster on the golf course too because the best he can do is make a shameful appearance.

He belongs in the tar pits ,I mean where else could he belong ?

Stay tuned folks ,great entertainment ahead !

[big_dog]

50. faux donald, you really owned Murdoch on that new years show

i loved the filibuster to the late ball drop, it was a masterstroke!

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

70. The Donald Here 2016 !

Yes they just love me at faux because I bring in really great ratings ,fantastic unbelievable ratings ,my fans are always there wherever I go !

But that's beside the point ,right now I am somewhat confused ,you know Fiornia ,Carley ,she's a graduate of Stanford and she rooted for Iowa in the big game of the year. She is somewhere between 2 and 3 per cent in the Iowa polls ,even Jeb might be doing as much as 3.5 per cent there, so what does Fiornia figure ,is she going to pick up a pointer or two !

The thing of it is in my confusion, I really have to wonder ,are employees and those in the executive branches at places such as H.P really dumb dumb enough to fall for that kind of crap ? I mean it must have worked for her many times over the years ,after all she did manage to run H.P. into the ground ,are they really that dumb ?

I am sure Stanford was more than glad to shove her off onto Iowa ,I mean really, who needs what she brings on !
But I think the real question is who or what the hell is she really rooting for ? !

Murdoch is nothing more than a media pimp- he wanted to be king of the pimps but he was outed in his ways !The pimp believes that news itself isn't news at all, sensationalism is what sells ,journalists had to become media prostitutes in order to survive in the business. Most of them in his news of the world organization didn't mind at all ,you know having to prostitute themselves ,their work and the profession.The guy single handedly managed to turn print journalism into a perverted version of itself. In fact they viewed Murdoch as their king.But suddenly his kingdom imploded,and that's a very different story ! There is no nicey nice or politically correct way of putting it.

Stay tuned ,great entertainment coming soon !

[trillion]

68. but...

every single candidate they have running IS this:

" mean spirited cruel sociopath nasty jerk scum dumb ass nuts scary horrible man overt creepiness evil sick bastard cruel obnoxious repulsive piece of shit."

Even Fiorina!

[bullwinkle428]

43. Same shithead that made Biden joke on day he buried his son.

[MBS]

57. " " " " " " "

He is scum.

[kairos12]

44. He reminds me of Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs

[Demonaut]

45. fucking rookie can't even salute properly...what a douche bag

hateful and cruel...I wish someone would air their dirty laundry

[PSPS]

47. I hope this signifies nothing more than the DU moderators having the day off.

[Kingofalldems]

52. OP already has one locked today:

[big_dog]

55. cant even let it go on a holiday

knew you were lurking somewhere

[Kingofalldems]

61. Neither can you it seems.

[7wo7rees]

53. It is difficult to use the word hate. But with Cruz, there is

no other word I can find.
So ashamed to have him represent us from Texas!!

[The Wizard]

58. Like most Republicans

Cruz would benefit greatly from one of the wonderful Fleet products available a drugstores and supermarkets everywhere.

[6000eliot]

59. Aren't the terms "creepy" and "mean-spirited" redundant when you are talking about Cruz?

[TheCowsCameHome]

60. Actually, they are accenting his positive characteristics.

[Douglas Carpenter]

63. and this is the man who is supposed to save the GOP from Trump

[Laser102]

64. Yes 2016 is going to be a good year. Another Democrat for President.

Happy New Year you big greasy jerk. Hope you eat s__t and you know the rest.

[saltpoint]

65. He's the fox who agrees to take

the Gingerbread Man across the stream.

"Sit atop my back, Gingerbread Man, and I will bear you safely across," says the fox.

A bit further into the stream, the fox says, "Move up to my neck, Gingerbread Man, the stream seems swifter here; you'll be safer on my neck."

Still further across the stream, the fox instructs, "You should definitely move onto my nose, Gingerbread Man, the stream here is quite swift and dangerous, and you'll be safer where I can see you."

They land on the stream's opposite bank and in one very quick snap of his mouth, the fox swallowed down the Gingerbread Man.

[Blue Owl]

66. Wow what a dickbag

[trillion]

67. Like the recent Rolling Stone article said, this election will define us as one thing or the other

and no middle ground in between.

[Jack Rabbit]

73. No middle ground usually follows

. . . no middle class.

[trillion]

69. I'm convinced the right find the meanst dumbest people in America, and pick them for their leader.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

71. I can write an ending for Ted Cruz's lame, unfunny story he told at the end

The marine ended up being drafted to serve in the war that President Cruz started for no good reason and the old man's grandchildren all perished fighting in that same war. And the marine returned home and found all his benefits scrapped by the Cruz Administration in the interests of smaller government and the old man had all his social security benefits taken away from him for the same reason. Three years into the Cruz presidency, they both found themselves wondering the street as homeless men and had another chance encounter. They both cursed themselves for having being such insufferable jerks for cheering President Obama's departure from office and wished that they'd been more appreciative of his leadership while they still had it. And in 2020, American voters in all 50 states booted Cruz's sorry ass from office and he ended up serving life in a federal prison for all the crimes and abuses of power he committed while in office, hated by both his fellow inmates and the American people.

[Tanuki]

72. This is the same despicable POS who mocked Joe Biden and tried to make him a laughingstock

when Biden was in the midst of a parent's unspeakable grief over the death of Beau.

http://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/politics/elections/2016/2015/06/04/28464743/
You can see the SOB in action, and then turning away without comment when a reporter called him on it later, at the link

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s ad begins with a shot of President Obama and Hillary Clinton. Then comes a U.S. battleship launching a cruise-missile strike. It moves swiftly through an explosive montage: The suspects in the recent California terrorist attack. Shadowy figures racing across the U.S.-Mexico border. Islamic State militants.

The narrator, a deep-voiced man, speaks ominously: “That’s why he’s calling for a temporary shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, until we can figure out what’s going on. He’ll quickly cut the head off ISIS and take their oil. And he’ll stop illegal immigration by building a wall on our southern border that Mexico will pay for.”

The spot closes with the image of Trump thundering at one of his rallies, “We will make America great again!”

The Republican presidential candidate’s long-awaited and hotly anticipated first ad, which was shared exclusively with The Washington Post, is set to launch Monday as part of a series that will air in the final month before the Iowa caucuses. Trump has vowed to spend at least $2 million a week on the ads — an amount that will be amplified by the countless times they are likely to be played on cable news and across social media.

The decision to air television ads — which Trump hinted at for months, though the billionaire mogul has been loath to spend more than he deems necessary — represents a tightly produced new act for a candidate who has fed largely off free media attention.

In an interview Sunday with The Post, Trump said that he has six to eight ads in production and that his was a “major buy and it’s going to go on for months.” He said he hopes the spots impress upon undecided voters that the country has become “a dumping ground.”
