[PJ-Comix]

Anyone know if President Obama intends to perform background checks on the Syrian rebels before providing them weapons?—
Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) June 18, 2013

Oh, senator! That was beautiful. No wonder it has been retweeted nearly 3,000 times and counting.

Twitter users agreed and gasped for breath over Sen. Ted Cruz’s zinger.

Heh heh.

Tweet of the day and worthy of a salute:

@SenTedCruz If this is the Senator writing his own tweets, allow me to salute your blogger-grade sarcasm, sir.—
John Hayward (@Doc_0) June 18, 2013

Heh.

This Twitter user offers up a depressing exit question:

@SenTedCruz @badov49 Why didn't someone do a background check on OBAMA before he became president. Would have saved a lot of headaches.—

Thanks bunches, lapdogs!

But on the bright side:

@SenTedCruz you bring a smile to my face and hope for the future! Thanks for the laugh. Keep them coming brother.—

Never change, senator.

LOL!!!

[txrefugee]

You rock, Ted!!!

[who knows what evil?]

Senator Cruz has posted a couple of classic Zero zingers recently...another classic! Lucky Texans!

[DTogo]

Cruz sounds like a FReeper.

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[Cyber Liberty]

Heh.

[penelopesire]

Go Ted Cruz!!

Cruz/ 2016!!

[brownsfan]

I’m far too cynical for my own good.

I remember when Chris Christie used to make me think it was possible to find a principled Republican.

I remember when I thought Paul Ryan was principled and ready to fight the communists.

I remember when Marco Rubio seemed like a man of principle.

Now, I just wait for the GOPe and Washington corruption to get to Ted Cruz.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Ouch! If Texas ever goes blue and he loses his seat he could take over the Tonight Show.

[Christie at the beach]

Nice that he says what a lot of Americans are saying and thinking to themselves. Does anyone check their backgrounds like they do ours. That was a great comeback for this mess we are in.

[Sergio]

I don’t care who ya are, that right there’s funny.

[Pride in the USA]

ROFL!!!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Looks like Sergio beat me to the obligatory “Larry The Cable-guy” quote.

I am SOOOOO happy I’m in Texas now.

[Sergio]

Wish I could be there with ya, my FRiend.

[DPMD]

Great question, but I suspect that knowing they’re anti-American terrorists, and that the weapons are likely to be smuggled into, and used against us, was what helped them pass obama’s background check.

[Viennacon]

Classic Cruz. He would crush Hillary in a debate.

[COBOL2Java]

Has McCain taken to the floor of the Senate and condemned the remark yet?

[Lions Gate]

Way to go Ted!

Obama will go down in history as one of the worst and most corrupt Presidents of all time.

Oh, my. He has a quick, cutting sense of humor. I love it! Just heard him on Rush’s show...he did very well.
