Seen that today...good stuff...
It’s hard to keep up - do republicans like Cruz again?
If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.
Does pointing out the appropriate and well written words of someone mean you 'like them'? I liked some things that Obama spoke of during his term, not much, but some, and I sure didn't like him.
At any rate, what does liking him have to do with the thread or subject? Or just trying to play a lame gotcha of games instead?
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
It's simply amazing how many people are suddenly incapable of nuanced thoughts. I like Trump, but I occasionally criticize him when I feel he deserves it means I'm a Never Trumper. You just posted an example of something Cruz said that you agree with, must mean you love Cruz. We criticize John McCain for his actions as a Senator, that means don't respect his military service, etc etc.
This is the first time in a long time I’ve seen Cruz be mentioned, and it didn’t come with the descriptor “snivelling” so was just looking to check in on the pulse with that. Talk about running with it.

I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

A Deplorable!
I don't like Cruz when he starts acting like a NeoCon; which, he has done in the past and I was quick to get in his ass about it. What Noir and some others fail to grasp is if I disagree with ONE THING, at the time, it doesn't mean I automatically go into "I hate that person forever and ever" mode and am ready to tie a hangman's noose around his/her neck. It means what I stated: I disagree with that person at that time.
If I in turn agree with that same person, I say so. I even agreed with something Obama did once and posted as much. I don't remember what it was. Just that I agreed with what he did once.
All too often the issues are lost to assassinating the messenger anymore.

Cruz was my first choice for prez. I still like him but more than likely if he runs again in 2020, I'm going to stick with Trump. He's doing a dang good job so far, he'd have to screw up on an epic scale at this point to lose my support. I just think it's a good idea to give a president a second term if he's done a good job on his first, that way we don't have that huge transition, new people, transfer of power and all that, he can just hit the ground running and keep up the good work. No on the job training required for a new president.
I think Noir is just your typical, garden variety little leftist pin head. Thinks he's superior to everyone else and can't help being an egotistical little twit. I'd like to see him sit in one of the bars around here with all the local farmers and such that all seem to be large, when they've gotten half liquored up and things are getting loud and then have him run his mouth and act like he does here... I don't think he'd last long...
One of my buddies we call "Sticks" is probably 6' 8", 375-400 lbs, Marine veteran, never seen anyone talk shit to him. He always gives me shit for drinking that "piss water," Pabst... lol... but he's joking. Actually a dang good guy.
