This is so fitting considering that this idiot charlatan is supposedly some sort of a Conservative champion. Which on its face, is a huge, poorly timed joke:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) believes that when his critics attack, they’re not just going after him, but also taking on “the American people.” Following his lively conversation with Jay Leno last Friday, the senator attended an “exclusive, top secret” dinner in Los Angeles, where he shared those thoughts with the conservative website Politichicks.
Cruz said he was “encouraged” by the personal attacks he’s received from both Democrats and Republicans “because I think all across the country, I think people are getting energized, they’re getting engaged, they’re speaking up. And we shouldn’t be surprised. Changing the country isn’t easy. And the establishment is going to fight back. In both parties, they don’t want to change.”
“And so, the reason—the nastier the attacks get—I mean, they’re directed at all of us, they are directed at the American people,” Cruz continued. “Because a lot of the folks in Washington don’t want to be held accountable.”

Now where have I heard this one before? Oh, yes! That’s right! It was said by the Bush Administration in 2003, when the Bush Administration decided to invade a sovereign Country based on bad intelligence from Germany. “If you are against us, you hate America and want to see it invaded by terrorists.” This is the same thing, a neoconservative line.
Ted Cruz? Tea Party? Don’t make me laugh; this idiot is nothing more than an Cuban interloper that is making a mockery of the Republican Party and Conservatism in general. Not to mention the fact, that Cruz just took a page from the biggest neoconservative Presidential administration in history.
