Ted Cruz Promises Iowa Crowd that Gay Marriage Will Be Reversed at SCOTUS

I've been toying with creating a Ted Cruz graphic ever since he came out with that "TRUSTED" graphic. It reminded me of United Airlines' ill-fated spinoff, Ted, a budget airlinelet. Cruz may not realize it, but he sort of ripped off their marketing schtick. And he surely didn't realize that a bunch of United employees had some fun with the (Word) + Ted, some unprintable.

I can't stand the man, as you might have surmised by my politics. But it goes beyond simple right vs. left. I find him odious on multiple levels. And when I think he's reached bottom, I find more levels.

This time, it's his promise to voters in Waterloo, Iowa that the Obergefell ruling by the Supreme Court, which effectively legalized same-sex marriage, will be overturned. With the implication, of course, that electing him will cause this "eventuality" to pass. This in a state that has had marriage equality for longer than most of the rest of the nation to no ill effect. Just a bunch of butt-hurt conservative crybabies like Steve Deace, Bob Vander Plaats, and oddly enough, a conservative preacher I went to school with.

So, Ted, here you go. Some brand new slogans to try out. They're more honest.

When I stumbled upon this, I knew I had to share it. My good friend Mark, in Florida, wouldn't forgive me if I didn't. The video maker did an outstanding job. While it may seem like a one-joke premise, they really did a good job matching the lyrics with what's going on in the photos. Love the Tony Blair wink! So in a nod to both politics and frivolity, I bring you. . .




And by all means, stay through the credits. Some good stuff there too!
