Ted Cruz: When I'm the president I'll eliminate five federal agencies. The IRS, commerce, commerce, energy and HUD. Reporter: That's only four. Ted Cruz: And the Department of Arithmetic.
Currently at least, arithmetic is standing in the way of every Republican candidate’s platform and reality, and two out of three Democratic’s candidate’s platforms and reality. (And if nobody has heard of the third candidate, does he make a sound in the forest?)
Well.you KNOW what the Rightie response to this cartoon is going to be, don’t you?“57 states! 57 states! Yah! Yah! Yah! 57 STAYYYYYYTES!!!! Booga-booga-booga-booga-booooooooooo!”

Robert Mercer, Ted’s billionaire backer, owes $6 billion in back taxes. He’s willing to spend whatever it takes to kill the IRS.

Kind of spooky, isn’t it? I mean the difficulty Repug presidential candidates from Texas have with enumerating lists in November?

I don’t care about him. He’s not leading in the polls and he’s a native of Canada.

Yep, native of Canada. He needs to go back there. He sure doesn’t like the democratic process – i.e. majority rule.
Wawawa, if I don’t get my way, I’ll shut the government down, eh.

lopakaI don’t think he would be welcome; they got rid of Harper, why would they want him back?

Here are the five GOP candidates who should be eliminated from the field first: Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, and Cruz. Did I mention Cruz?

what’s spooky is how the red meat wing of the party won’t accept a fearless leader till he shows he’s comfortable selling (obvious) lies.

Well, Texas textbooks don’t teach too much Godless math. If they did, Texans would know republican math will never add up.

I’ve never understood why there is so much hate for the Dept of Energy.

KylopBecause a small part of its research is going into renewable and low pollution energy development.
