With questionable claims, ranging from the invented (Muslims celebrated 9/11 in New Jersey) to the downright bizarre (pyramid grain storage, anyone?) seeming to hint at an end to the extended fifteen minutes of fame of GOP luminaries Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson, conservatives seem to be eying Ted Cruz for his turn.
And while Cruz seems to be eager to get behind the wheel of his party’s primary clown car, it’s worth noting that he is by no means a less worrying choice. He may be less prone to Carson’s public habit of wild stories, or Trump’s abrasive style, but he is easily as extreme and fact-adverse (this is the same person, remember, who was just a few days ago pinning the Colorado Planned Parenthood shooting on a “transgendered liberal activistâ€).
He is as anti-abortion as it gets, throwing his weight behind so-called personhood measures that would confer legal personhood on a fertilized human egg (which would not only ban all abortion, but would have vast implications for reproductive options like fertility treatments); he is a notorious science denier; when it was a politically relevant earlier this year, he promised to make same-sex marriage a primary issue in his 2016 bid; and he encouraged states to simply ignore the SCOTUS ruling on marriage equality; he’s doesn’t think atheists are “fit†to be president; he has celebrated an endorsement from an anti-abortion activist who thinks that abortion providers should be executed, and declared that we need “more leaders†like him; etc....

Let’s hope so.
So Donald Trump’s 15 minutes of fame is over? When did that happen?
We all KNOW that ALL Muslims were quiet as churchmice at 9/11 because.................
Because..............
Becuzzz......................
NOBODY TOOK VIDEO ON THEIR CELLPHONES!!
That’s how we know!
Yeah, cuz Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are just mainstream Americans.
Liar.
Should rename their website “Morondom: inside the ridiculous bubble world of a self adsorbed twit”
Did someone actually make that claim?
This is refreshing considering that the Virginia GOP supports the election of Democrat candidates in the Commonwealth. I am still pissed off that they raised money on behalf of Ken Cuccinelli, and then sent that money to Chris Christie instead.

If thats a female, something tells me she doesn’t like the company of individuals that have a penis.
It thats a man, something tells me he does.
Black, who wants to ban abortion in all cases and made waves by "passing out plastic fetuses before a crucial abortion vote," once denounced abortion rights as reminiscent of Nazi Germany and likened abortion clinics to Nazi death camps like Auschwitz.
He is also an opponent of contraceptives, calling for a law that would outlaw the morning-after pill and referring to emergency contraception as "baby pesticide" and "a toxic method of eliminating a child."
No fan of gay rights, Black responded to the Lawrence v. Texas decision overturning state anti-sodomy bans by declaring, "If I'm the last person on the face of this Earth to vote against legalizing sodomy, I'll do it."
He once tried to mandate that adoption agencies inquire whether prospective parents are "known to engage in current voluntary homosexual activity" and attacked a state initiative to make it easier for gay couples, who were not allowed to legally marry at the time, and other unmarried couples to apply for home mortgages by insisting that Virginia "is now spending $90 million to subsidize sodomy and adultery†and having tax dollars go towards “supporting a radical homosexual agenda."
Apparently the decidedly unfriendly atheist's complaint is that Cruz selects conservatives as his co-chairs. How shocking.
Right, because nobody had a phone with video back then.
Any minute now :)
