Senator Ted Cruz of Texas got on the Senate floor Tuesday night to filibuster against the Affordable Care Act (ACA). But, it wasn't a filibuster, it won't stop the Act, and very little that he said made sense. As a matter of, does anything he says make sense?
Senator Ted Cruz got on the Senate floor and talked for over 20 hours. Was it a filibuster to stop a bill? No. Then he got on the floor and spoke of the ACA and likened it to the holocaust. So Senator, how is 30 million people getting insurance like Germany killing million of people because they believed in the Jewish religion? If that wasn't dumb and stupid enough, he said that Neville Chamberlain told England in the 40s that Hitler needed to be appeased because he couldn't be defeated. Senator, it was in the 30s that Chamberlain signed a treaty that gave Germany land, and said to the English people that he agreed to the treaty because Hitler said that was the only land they wanted. Later, when Hitler and Germany continued to attack other countries, Chamberlain resigned in disgrace. Again, you made no sense. Then you quoted Green eggs and Hams, saying that this shows that if the country tries the ACA, it would be addicted to it. No, the story is about not liking something because you haven't tried it. Again, you make no sense. Then, you state that nobody in America follow politicians in Washington because of their cheap suits. So, exactly what were you doing speaking for over 20 hours if no body in America listens to you? Again, you make no sense. Finally, when you're done, you're asked what you accomplished. You state that you wanted to show America that they could get rid of the ACA. No Senator, you got up and talked so far-right idiots could watch you and give you money. Again, you lied.
Senator Cruz got up on the Senate floor and lied and made no sense for over 20 hours. Senator Cruz, do you ever make sense?
The only thing I can see about him that makes sense is his 'squeaky wheel' approach to forcing remembrance of himself.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't require that what he says makes sense but, with his tenacious career of forging blatant self-promotion, the voters will remember his over-active roll in a time when most people think the senate is lagging in action.
Unfortunately these same voters will not understand his 'look at me' political tactics and probably won't take the time to research what he's saying - except maybe the green ham part. As they go to the voting booth next election they'll click his name because they think he's at least 'doing something'.
