Ted Cruz is just like his clothes: carefully thought out, ill-fitting and unlikable (barf alert!)

So much to comment on here, but I’ll pick on just one, the fact is when it comes to brainwashing that is what liberals do to their children.

Here is what a righteous man does with his children: Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Ted Cruz is evidence his father believed and trusted the truth.

I always did think Cruz could use a new suit. It would improve his appearance.

Actually, Cindy, Cruz’s father tried to do his job as a father and instill confidence in him and make sure he was well educated so he wouldn’t wind up being a JOURNALIST!

Its actually not a bad article. People have the right to criticize the general appearance of a candidate, and this article espouses a legitimate angle...

“Cruz’s father, Rafael, has been brainwashing his son since he was about four years old to believe he’s “gifted above any man he knows” and “destined by God for greatness”, the kinds of delusions...”

Because as we all know, its so much better telling kids they will never amount to anything, that racism abounds in America, an evil nation that causes suffering around the world, that the best you can hope for will only be what you can get get from government, if only the mean Conservatives don’t stop it first.

I wish more parents would plant God’s Word into the hearts of their children, teach them to dream, work hard, because in a free country and with God’s Blessing, truly there is no limit. If more children were raised this way, we would have more lot more Ted Cruz and Ben Carson success stories, and not half the country dependent on their fellow taxpayers.

Ya gotta feel for the MSM. They can't make this campaign about the issues, their candidates lose on every one.

The economy? Taxes and Debt? Runaway spending?

Honesty? Integrity? Leadership in a crisis? Foreign policy?

Overburdensome regulation and shrinking personal liberty?

How about illegal immigration? The threat of worldwide terrorism?

Crime in the streets? Crime in the boardroom? Crime in government?

Can't come out ahead on any of these, so they're left with personal attacks.

Woods nailed it.

The ponce’s in England who stand by when teenage girls are raped by Islamists bathed in the mercy of God have their clothing tailored on Savile Row. W4nkers!

This piece reeks of leftist snarkiness. I wouldn't disagree that personal appearance sometimes merits criticism. E.g. we freely criticize Madame Clinton's Mao-suits.

But I don't see your "legitimate angle" here.

As for the writer's glib assertion that Cruz has a "messiah complex" ... here's proof of a messiah-complex-to-beat-all- messiah-complexes:

...I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth...

And guess which "messiah" proclaimed that, Cindy?

Flannel shirts are just what men wear in the winter...at least, the men I know of. I like seeing them with jeans.

Last night on a Cruz thread, though, some were making fun of his “off the rack” clothing, so I guess they all have their wardrobe custom made by tailors./S

Anyone who thinks Ted Cruz is “femme” is a damned fool and a liar, and ought to be ashamed.

I’d love to see what some of these keyboard alpha warriors look like.

The teen Beat crowd fixates on superficials.

Around here real men don’t have tailors.

Yep, same here.

None of the males around here would be taking lessons in masculinity from Manhattanites who eat pizza with a fork.

GW Rocks!

Obviously that quote was 0, and yes, there was an over the top quality to it. Back then, the media were grappling with the novelty of the first black president, and the stultifying effect it had on their journalistic impulses prevented any serious examination of their candidate, something many of them have lamented over the years...

If a real man absolutely must measure an inseam we have exactly the right tool to do it with.
