in A Moving Train
A mysterious man has been showing up at Ted Cruz's campaign events in Iowa with a sign reading "Ted Cruz Likes Nickelback," amusing the hell out of the Internet and generally doing God's work. Everyone knows there's nothing worse than being accused of liking the Canadian band Nickelback (no offense, Nickelback!) except maybe being accused of liking other Canadian band Barenaked Ladies (sorry, Barenaked Ladies!). Especially when you're accused of being a secret Canadian.

    My dad always said, "don't take any wooden nickels".

    And yet, we have two from Woody's - a record store my husband used to frequent before moving west.

    Liking Nickleback may or may not be a forgivable offense, but check out this endorsement Cruz has received and is proud of:

    Ted Cruz Defends Endorsement From Pastor Who Believes Hitler Was ‘Hunter’ Sent By God
    Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz isn’t backing away from the endorsement of Mike Bickle, a controversial evangelical pastor who once characterized Hitler as “a hunter” sent by God to go after Jews who don’t to convert to Christianity.
    Despite calls from Jewish groups to denounce Bickle’s interpretation of scripture, a senior advisor to Cruz instead welcomed the pastor’s support in a statement published today in the Jewish Journal.
    Are there any Cruz supporters here who can defend this? I find this appalling and more than a little crazy.

    Ted Cruz ad has been pulled because it was found out what other credits this particular actress who starred in this commercial had on her resume, soft core porn

    I almost hope Cruz is the nominee just so I can spend the fall referring to him as Rafael Eduardo Cruz - his full given name. That is sure to annoy many a Conservative who have spent the last eight years pointing out Barack Hussein Obama's full given name.

    No doubt, the guy's name is Rafael and he changes it to Ted to be a red meat politician...yeah, let's trust him!

    I have seen some hilarious memes, him mashed up with Kevin from the office, him as the alien in human skin from Men In Black, asking for sugar water saying his human costume is itchy lol

    I don't give a shit what someone looks when it comes to my vote, but for entertainment purposes...
    Trump looks like an orange blow-up doll with a cheap toupe
    Carson looks like an affable idiot
    Cruz looks like he is not even human, he is simply one of the ugliest men alive
    O'Malley is too handsome to be president, nobody will trust him
    Sanders looks like Doc Brown from Back to the Future
