The most disturbing part is how popular they are with the GOP base. (shudders)
I have been saying the Republican party has lost its mind and been taken over by the lunatics for years. The revolution has officially eaten its children.

Put in context of the Republican Revolution of the mid-1990's, the current GOP hysteria and enforced dogma becomes a LOT clearer.

We are at the time in that movement where ideological purity becomes hyper-important, and moderates are effectively guillotined.
People here in So Cal say that Ted Cruz is Creepy & Weird…What does that say when The people of the Land of Fruits & Nuts thinks you are Creepy & Weird…

kinda like bernie
how so?
Sorry there is no "tea party" equivalent streak in the Democratic party.
ideological purity is sort of what's been driving bernie, and if you disagree with him, you are bought off by wall street and big banks.
like cruz, he also has a grass-roots base
Absolutely no similarity, totally false equivalence.
Bernie's attack on Hillary as a Wall St tool is accurate.
Cruz is LYING to his base, Bernie is telling the truth.
partisanship 101
our guy is right, their guy is wrong, yada yada. its still ideological purity and sending moderates to the guillotine
I think it's more the weakness of Clinton.
you're really, really full of false equivalence bull . Bernie's and Krazy's policies, objectives, strategies couldn't be more different.
While Krazy is blatantly an authoritarian Christian Taliban supremacist intent on forcing his Christian theocracy on everybody, including all levels of govt, Bernie is the exact opposite.
Ted Cruz: Phil Robertson 'Terrifies' People Because He 'Speaks With Joy'
In his final campaign push before the South Carolina Republican presidential primary on Saturday, Sen. Ted Cruz once again trotted out Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, showering the controversial reality TV star with praise.
Robertson dedicated his speech at the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, campaign event to ranting about the evils of premarital sex and how men need to marry a “clean” woman.
Cruz, in turn, joked that Robertson could serve as ambassador to the United Nations in his administration and praised the activist for his overwhelming “joy.”
“You know, there’s a reason he terrifies the mainstream media,” Cruz said. “He says the things you’re not supposed to say. He actually remembers who we are as Americans and just speaks it with a joy, not with an anger, not with a hatred, with a joy in who we are.”
Let’s go over some of the joyful things Robertson has had to say, shall we?
Robertson wants
to “rid the earth” of those who support “evil” and “wicked” marriage equality,
warning that the acceptance of gay people will lead to bestiality.
He has denounced liberals as the pawns of Satan and said
that black people were “happy” until the end of Jim Crow got them hooked on welfare.
And who could forget
his very joyful speculation about how an atheist man would react to watching his wife and children get brutally raped and murdered?

i never said their policies and objectives were the same. but they're both emphasizing ideological purity (cruz being the "most conservative" and bernie being the "most liberal") who think moderates are just a waste of time. moderate republicans are called rino's, moderate democrats are bought by wall street, etc
While Krazy is blatantly an authoritarian Christian Taliban supremacist intent on forcing his Christian theocracy on everybody, including all levels of govt, Bernie is the exact opposite.
Are you denying that Clinton is bought and paid for by Wall Street?
Of all politicians who Sanders has ever accused of being owned by Wall Street, can you point out some who aren't?
s bag Cruz releases Photoshop pic of Obama and Rubio....
“The Rubio-Obama Trade Pact,” www.therealrubiorecord.com — paid for by Cruz for President — read. “Rubio cast the deciding vote to fast-track three highly secretive trade deals negotiated by Obama and encouraging corrupt, backroom deals.”
