So Ted Cruz Did the Politically Appropriate Thing....

[Minimalist]

Most people are worse off now than 25 years ago.

That's true in the US, too. So what?

So you applaud a group who has made their country vastly more violent for the very people they were set up to champion?

Frankly I am not that bothered for the welfare of Most white south Africans - they can leave and go to Australia, South America or (in the case of those with Grandparents from the UK/Ireland) go to Ireland or the UK and start anew. White South Africans have a temperament suitable for low level management such as restaurant or shop management, generally have a hard working attitide and often come with bookkeeping skills (basic accountancy is taught at Highschool level).

I am bothered about the Colored (South African for 'mixed race') population who were discriminated against under apartheid and are now discriminated against by the ANC (for being too white) and the majority black population for whom their shacks in The townships are as bad as ever coupled with endemic violent crime.

Ted Cruz should resign because some of his supporters objected to him writing a homage to Mandela? Why?

He should resign because he is an idiot. He also thinks the voters are idiots. After all, he is now claiming he had nothing to do with shutting the government. He is depending on the republican voter to be idiots and vote for him again.

Ah right. So he must resign because you don't like him. I have no love for him either but enough people do support him and they should be represented in a democracy. If people are denied representatives that reflect their opinion ultimately they rebel and unfortunately teh conservatives have vastly more weapons and combat experience that the rest of us.

Has nothing to do with whether I like him or not. He is dangerous to our country. And a nut too.

Sadly the "tea party" is filled with nuts and most of them shouldn't be in office. Worse, the voter does tend to be stupid and disengage, otherwise they would never have had any opportunity to pollute our congress.

But to point out since you are trying to create an argument. I never said he didn't have the right to run for office.

I just wish he would resign. Now if I was a republican, I would wish he would get killed or die or advocate his assasination. But instead, I just wish he would resign.

Cruz may be a number of things but being a 'nut' is not cause to have to resign and he is not a danger to the USA, he is not a part of the executive (unlike racist Eric Holder for instance).

You aren't a Republican so you wouldn't know how you would act if you were one. The tea party is full of kooks but they are right to be angry with Obama who has lied to the people about health care. Obama has been the least effective president since Carter and I say this from someone who would like to see full , comprehensive socialised medicine. Frankly I hope some effective, capable and experienced politician from teh mainstream of the Democrat party is able to win the next presidency because they way that Obama is going he is going to hand the presidency to the republicans and if teh USA is lucky it might be The fat guy from Jersey.

Obama has been less effective then I would like, but look at the his handicap. A party that couldn't care less about their country. A party who is very pleased and works hard to not create jobs.

A party that has made it their number 1 objective to oppose everything that Obama advocates.

How many presidents have had to work under that kind of handicap? Not many you can bet.

As to whether Obama lied about losing one's insurance? They didn't lose their insurance, they just had the policy changed. Quite different. It's just a game that republicans are playing pretending that they lost their insurance.

I was hoping to read, "Resignation and suicide".

Oh, well.

Are you talking about the republicans party? they are the opposition. Why would they support the president? Democrats opposed Bush when he was president

Rubbish, it was an outright lie. he said 'if you like your policy you can keep it'. They couldn't.

Michele?

My biggest problem with Obama is he's a super conservative, and just as a toady of crony capitalism and big business. Keep in mind this is coming from a Progressive, and Obama and the Democrats just do not represent liberals, let alone progressives.

A party that couldn't care less about their country. A party who is very pleased and works hard to not create jobs.

What are you talking about?

Republicans gutting the middle class, for the benefit of the oligarchs and corporations, and blaming it all on the poor. Democrats are guilty too, but they're still not as bad as the Republicans.

Obama could nominate the most conservative, Republican friendly judge or other appointee, and the Republicans would oppose and filibuster the appointment purely on the basis that they were an Obama appointee. That's a level of knee-jerk hyperbole and opposition-for-the-sake-of-opposition that grinds the working of government to a halt.

If Obama appointed the Risen Christ to the Supreme Court, it would not surprise me in the least if the Republicans filibusters the appointment.

Yeah, some people could no longer keep their insurance. Know why? In many cases it simply wasn't insurance, in others it was the companies themselves being dishonest. The insurance companies used this transition time to use people's ignorance and scare tactics to try an up-sell more expensive plans to their customers; never telling them that it would be possible to find a plan with comparable coverage for less on the exchanges. Paying $724 a month for a 'plan' with a $10,000 deductible is not insurance. Paying $50 a month for a plan to cover prescriptions that only cover up to $50 a month, is not a plan.

Anybody that had something like those, would have to get new insurance; but the plan they had before was not 'insurance', it was the companies taking their money with nothing to show for it.
