Is Ted Cruz Satan? Discuss.
The Texas Legislature almost met again.
Anyone with some good thread ideas?

Wonk, you know I love you like the older cousin who turned me on to George Carlin's "Class Clown" - I would never say that *to* you. It was merely a suggestion for thread title (loosely based on Hank's comment to TM). |

A lot of times, people confuse Faustus and Mephistopheles. Faustus may have sold his soul, but he can still have regrets, he can still understand the errors of his ways, he can still see that he has traded Paradise for mere baubles, for a vision of a succubus as Helen and a few lauds and laurels in the temporal world. It is important not to mistake the Faustus' of the world, for whom there may still be some hope of repentance and redemption, from the raw, unyielding evil of Mephisto, but it happens all the time.
This is not one of those times.

What's to discuss? Yes.
Or, maybe not satan, just a rich white guy* who is sure that it's the natural state of things for everything to favor people like him.
* don't give me that Latino bullshit. He's no more Latino than romney. |

Quoting Ty: "Most Americans want consensus and bipartisan agreement. Conservatives do not."
And he knows that I showed him what standard Dem voters said in Michigan, and he knows how he looks at the world. He is absurd.

Re: Is Ted Cruz Satan? Discuss.
the smartest thing i heard yesterday (and it was something I said here in maybe 2006 or so) was Robin Quivers who noted that both parties seem to forget that the public didn't just vote for them, the public just voted against the other guys. then they govern like the country just moved to them, then the public votes against them.

The Steinbrenner Electorate. In two years, they'll throw out a whole bunch more.
Only difference between them and George being, George eventually found winners. All Joe Sixpack voter will ever have is a form of lottery ticket... the illusory hope, as he pulls the lever like a one armed bandit at the casino, a miracle may be at hand.

Re: Is Ted Cruz Satan? Discuss.
Ty: "Many conservatives feel that they are losing their country to cosmopolitans and blacks and Hispanics. And they are. Demographically and culturally, they are losing. And they know it. No bridging that gap." True, but that doesn't explain last night. This vote was all about the economy. Almost every poll confirmed this fact.
The Democratic Senate has been in power during a time of Main Street economic malaise. So Main Street threw them out. If the GOP fucks it up over the next 24 months, which they will because the economic problems we face are beyond political control, they'll lose seats.
