Living in Fly-over
Land, I thought I’d let you know for whom I plan on voting in the Indiana
primary tomorrow. I’m sure you are just dying to know. Based off of my age it
should be Bernie Sanders, so sayeth the pot-smoking moochers I’m forced to call
peers. Based off of my lady bits I should vote for Hillary Clinton, right?
However,
I will be voting for Ted Cruz, the only constitutional conservative candidate
running. Why, you ask? Grab a chair and
a beer while I sip some green tea and I’ll be happy to tell you.
For one, he’s from
Texas. I likes me Texas men, yes I do. However, besides that, I share his views
and agree with his plan of
action on nearly every issue. He’s stood for protecting rights of companies
as well as unborn children in cases like Hobby Lobby’s & Little Sisters of
the Poor when the government attempted forcing them to provide abortion pills
to employees. He’s helped slap Obama’s gun-grabbing mitts numerous times,
protecting our 2A rights.
In my
opinion, Cruz is a down-to-earth, humble man. While asking a worker at the
Republican headquarters in Indiana how we (my mother & I) could better help
Ted without spending money because we’re broke, she gave us some pointers and
an insider’s view of the man himself. She said that most of the time, when a
candidate comes into the headquarters, they rush through just to save face, not
more than a few minutes. Ted Cruz stayed for a couple hours, personally
thanking people for their hard work.
He owns these
boots… and these socks.
He
has patience, humility, keeps a cool head, and is beyond articulate. All of
which is evident in this clip when arguing with an angry Iowan farmer (click here to view).
He
likes Star Wars. The Force was strong with this one, indeed. He has a great
sense of humor as seen in this sketch with Jimmy Fallon.
He is
willing to stand alone and be hated by all the surrounding politicians. Not
giving a damn about “yes, men” or groupies. Most of the best men in history
stood alone when it counted most.
He
likes Led Zeppelin. ‘Nuff said.
Loves
his wife and told Trump, “Leave Heidi the hell alone.”
That
filibuster in 2013. That was how he earned my trust and respect. He even read
to his little girls from that podium during his 21 hour stand against the
government. I tried to stay standing with him during that day but I was weak
and the couch was tempting
He
disdains speculation and ignorance, which he showed during the 2016 GOP debate
when asked about the Korean missile crisis. Shouldn’t he be applauded for not
talking from his posterior? Fast forward to the 2:07 minute mark for that debate moment.
About
this time last year, Ted Cruz was on his knees, hand-in-hand with other
Christians, praying for National Day of Prayer.
He
likes Princess Bride, too?! Inconceivable!
Is he
some infallible being, virgin-birthed and never making mistakes, heck no! He
has made a few mistakes, the slimy Kasich alliance for one. Please say you
washed your hands after shaking Kasich’s, Ted? But so far, he’s not made any
mistakes that I found unforgivable and put him on equal-lowly-footing with
Trump, Kasich, Hilary, or Bernie.
So no,
I am not voting based off of my sex, my age, or my peers. I am not on the Trump
train. I’m not stickin’ together with sista’ Clinton. And I ain’t drinkin’ the
Bernie Kool-Aid, which is just dyed Ensure, you knuckleheads.
