Will they Cruzify Ted?

Nimrod (The Mighty One) built a tower also. He gathered the people together promising them security, but slowly the civilization changed to tyranny. The tower fell and people were scattered. No new thing under the sun.

The juxtaposition of your handle, with your argument, is awesome. Not in a good way, but awesome.

... and have said he had a habit of putting on a paisley bathrobe and stalking the end of his dormitory where female students lived.

"Shy student wants to talk to girls" is "creepy" how?

Perhaps some of those students at the home of the "Princeton rub" might have preferred he spent his spare time dropping the soap in the men's showers.

Third-hand regurgitated gossip. Is this the best Princeton can do?

How about an invisible Columbia student? That hold any fascination for the author, d'ya think?

Ted is being crucified by many right here on FR. Pretty sad to see FReepers using left-wing attacks on Cruz right here at the “premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism.”

[Raycpa]

Headline is in bad taste for Lenten season.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m a Christian, and I don’t take offense.

Crucifixion is a cruelty that was not exclusively imposed on Christ. It is still being practiced by IslamoNazis in the Middle East today. The metaphor works.

[dforest]

Persecution to a Cruz supporter is that anyone who does not support Cruz is crucifying him.

Ted would do well to cut this stuff out.

The religious overtones used with Ted for political gain are particularly annoying, and made even more so due to the behavior of some of his supporters.

[lentulusgracchus]

I can’t get past the creEpiness of Ted.

Monomania much?

[nfldgirl]

That’s because the Super PACs are pushed and funded by the powers that be who want their Cheap-Labor-Express guy, Rubio, the most malleable of them all, to win the nomination. Period. So they will “crucify” Cruz any which way possible if it helps to advance Rubio.

[DoughtyOne]

No, it doesn’t. For many of us it’s one more annoying trait associated with Ted.

I will forever thank Mr. Trump for shattering the Amnesty cartel and exposing the open border vermin in both parties.

However, Trump lost me when he declared his radical leftwing sister a fitting SCOTUS appointment, then said he would force Apple to bring their manufacturing back to the US.

[carjic]

WTF? Trump is the creepiest person ever! I would never let him around a family member...

[lentulusgracchus]

No, media wants close race. Contested convention.

Contested Republican convention.

Followed by nomination of Mitt Romney.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly

[deport]

Someone of with the supposed smarts of Cruz using misdirection with words?
I'd bet he knows the difference in meaning and connotation.

Persecute
subject (someone) to hostility and ill-treatment, especially
because of their race or political or religious beliefs.

Crucify
put (someone) to death by nailing or binding them to a
cross, especially as an ancient punishment.

[DoughtyOne]

I still can’t get past the creepiness of Ted.

[lentulusgracchus]

You like calling him "Felito". That have anything to do with assonance with "fellatio"? Have you had this fascination long?
