U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) pauses to look at the crowd as he confirms his candidacy for the 2016 U.S. presidential election race during a speech at Liberty College in Lynchburg, Virginia March 23, 2015. Cruz, a conservative firebrand who frequently clas
I see Texas's Sen. Ted Cruz has gone from telling Joe Biden jokes while Biden was burying his son to telling gun jokes while a South Carolina church buries the victims of our nation's latest mass murder.
"You know the great thing about the state of Iowa is, I'm pretty sure you all define gun control the same way we do in Texas -- hitting what you aim at," Cruz said at a town hall meeting Friday in Red Oak.
Ha ha, oh that's so funny. Guns are so great, you guys. Even blonde women like guns.
"My wife, Heidi, who is a petite, 5'2 California blonde, she was standing at the tripod unloading the full machine gun with a pink baseball cap that said 'armed and fabulous,'" he said.
Cruz seems to be spreading his pro-gun rhetoric with particular vigor in the wake of this particular incident of terrorism. He gave his speech at an Iowa shooting range in a room adorned with large posters of guns, which you probably know about because some conservatives are now outraged that it resulted in photographs of exactly that.
So there you go. If you're a politician you could go two ways, after a far-right racist executes nine black Americans in a prominent black American church. You could spend your energy condemning racism and the social and political culture that still embraces racism and coddles racism, perhaps devote your speeches to thoughts on how to someday end this nation's long string of attacks in which black Americans are killed in their churches or on the streets as segregationist "message" to "the black race." Or you could clench your sweaty little fists and shout that this latest execution of black Americans isn't going to be used as an excuse to take your guns away.
it's clear republican politicians don't think Black Lives matter or any lives when it comes to them or the all mighty gun. it's also clear that they think their constituents feel the same  as the laugh and cheer statements like his.  one good thing even though many like the red meat tosses many don't and are abandoning those who have used them to vote for their agenda and there's the rest of us who don't see it their way that my friends adds up to a majority vote, balls in our court do we reach for a different one or do we pick it up and do a slam dunk serve to the republican party all 3 tiers stupid, stupider, stupidest???????  too late to ahh crap Nov. 5th 2016 don't miss your train or bus if you do you can't fuss just put your head between your legs and kiss your progressive butt goodbye.

they did us a favor starting so early let's use it to find out who they are we already know what they are for and it ain't we the people, time for progressives to get on board and help us help them that deserve it and the party that needs it.  wake up everybody.
