    I waited to change my residency just so I could vote against that reptilian piece of shit Cruz. It’s only two votes (my wife and I), but it’s what I had to give. Fuck Ted Cruz and fuck the entire Texas GOP.

      Another two here cast for Allred today!

      Honestly, while I’m watching the Presidential election with bated breath along with everyone else, I’m more invested in Ted Cruz and those 3 fuckwad Republican State Justices who are up for re election as well!

      Fuck you Cruz, Blacklock, Bland, and Devine! LFG Allred, Weems, Jones, and Goldstein! Uproot those fascist fucks!

    So when are we starting the investigation into Ted Cruz breaking campaign finance laws? Because I believe this is him admitting he’s doing that

      Every accusation… etc etc. I’m sure the being that pretends to be a human as Cruz is just melding into the Republican patterns.

    If only there were some sort of organization to investigate campaign finance crimes? Wow it sure would be ironic if we had one but its operations were obstructed by fascist appointees from a Senate more interested in obstruction than governance.

    This is good news. It means he’s scared that Allred has chance of beating him.

    Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. As such, every lawsuit brought by a conservative is baseless.

    It is not possible for a conservative to be honest. Honesty is simply not a conservative trait.
