Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez, since news outlets have a phobia of putting the damn name in the title
I do not like that man Ted Cruz, I do not like his far-right views. I do not like his stupid chin, I do not like his smarmy grin. I do not like him with a beard, I do not like him freshly sheared. I do not like Ted Cruz at all, that man Ted Cruz can suck my balls.
I do not like that man Ted Cruz, I do not like him in the news. I do not like what he just said, I do not like his boxy head. I do not like him wearing glasses, I do not like him kissing asses. I wish he’d never get one vote, that man Ted Cruz can lick my scrote.
I do not like that man Ted Cruz, I do not like his backward views. I do not like his stupid suits, I do not like his cowboy boots. I do not like him when he sneezes, I do not like him eating cheeses. I hate to see his dumb face smirking, because his beard looks like a merkin’.
I do not like that man Ted Cruz, I do not like his far-right views. I do not like him in these reeds, I do not like him when he feeds. I do not like him by a wall, I do not like this shit at all. I do not like him as Santa’s elf, that man Ted Cruz can fuck himself.
I do not like that Ted Cruz man, I do not like him shouting klan. I do not like him in a room, I do not like him in Cancún. I do not like him playing ball, I do not like his face at all. I wish he’d lose his cushy job, that man Ted Cruz is a fucking knob.
I do not like that man Ted Cruz, I do not like his shitty views. I do not like him saying ass, I do not like him serving sass. I do not like him in a seat, I do not like him holding meat. I do not like him when he’s smooching, I do not like him with Mnuchin. I hate his stupid pronoun bits, that man Ted Cruz is full of shit.
I tip my hat off to you. that was awesome.
It was a recurring bit on John Oliver’s show. Should be turned into a book though.

Someone needs to get rid of That Asshole Ted Cruz. That Asshole Ted Cruz is a real asshole.
Are you talking about the Ted Cruise that pisses his pants because he likes the warm wet feeling between his legs?
Hey let’s not kink shame, he’s an asshole for other reasons
Ribbit
If the headline is any indication, he’s more progressive than Allred.
Snowballs chance unfortunately. I understand getting a Democrat to win in Texas is effectively impossible.
Its not though. We used to be a Democrat bastion pre southern strategy. People need to get back to voting in their own interest and not party lines. I suppose step one is even voting to begin with…

So when the Democrats were the racists?
Not entirely. You should work on your black and white view of the world.
Why do you assume I thought it was only black and white? Obviously they were all racist to some degree, that’s just how it was at the time. It’s just the Southern Democrats were more racist than others… cause that’s who had power in the south back then. Much like their Southern Republican compatriots have quite a bit of power now.
Just because my comment was pithy doesn’t mean it didn’t have truth in it.
Please don’t pull another “Beto”
Gutierrez voted to make Texas a sanctuary state for oil and gas companies. Just another “lesser of two evils”.

Unfortunately, many democrats still love thier oil money.
Which you can add on to the list of reasons why two party systems are bullshit.
I vote for people and not against people, though. Corrupt politicians are not politicians I want to vote for.
He fucking killed his campaign with one sentence. If he was running in California, he might have been able to survive. I have no doubt that Beto would be a fine governor, but the DNC should have never even considered running him in TX.
Ribbit
What was wrong with Beto? Am I out of the loop?
He would have been a fine governor, but the reason he fucked up was because he told TX citizens that he’d take their guns away. That’s the easiest way to kill a campaign in TX
He’s being very anti-gun in a state where there is a strong gun culture. He could’ve said something like “We need to stop criminals from getting guns”, instead, he said something along the lines of “We’re coming for all your guns!”
People seem to just be assuming the gun control comments were an insurmountable anchor around his neck, but after Uvalde polling put him just down 4 points (43-47) for trust on gun issues. There’s a lot more wiggle room in the gun debate, even in Texas, than people think.
Yeah, but didn’t Uvalde vote overwhelmingly for Abbott?
Texas just isn’t purple yet
