GOP SENATORS, TED CRUZ & RICK SCOTT, DON”T TAKE THEIR ROLES SERIOUSLY

 

                                …The “not so respected” Texas Senator, Ted Cruz

 

Why would anyone go after the Muppets?

 

What does the name of the Texas senator, Ted Cruz make you think of?

If you said he is someone you say is at the top of the list of the goofy, right-wing political partisans…you would be correct.

In fact, the inside joke about the Texas senator is the following: ”Why do so many of the senator’s colleagues take an instant dislike to Senator Cruz?”  The answer:  “It saves time.”

This senator can’t really be called a serious lawmaker, because he is not a serious participant in the process of law making. He instead, devotes his senatorship to strange political stunts and his picking silly PR fights with his senate colleagues.

He’s been using his right-wing credentials with putting his focus on fictious icons such as: Mr. Potato Head, Mickey Mouse and Pluto, as well as the characters on Sesame Street….the Muppets.

The senator has dedicated the power, prestige and public resources of his office, to demonize Sesame Street’s popular creatures , especially with his attacking Big Bird nine different times.  Lately, he has been going after the loveable, Little Elmo.  In Cruz’s imitation of the 1950’s communist-baiting demagogue, Joe McCarthy, Ted rants that he has proof that Muppets are covert tools of “ U.S. government propaganda.”

So, this ridiculous excuse of a U.S. Senator is saving America from exactly what?

But he’s not alone.

We just can’t leave out the Florida Senator, Rick Scott, and his 11 Point Plan to Rescue America.

Senator Scott, a current millionaire and former healthcare mogul, now chairs a political arm of the Republican Party.

Last February, Scott set forth a stunning policy agenda of the far out, right wing extremism, that he says his party will push, if they take the House and Senate in the midterms.  It includes:

• Implementing new federal taxes on the poorest half of the of all American so, as Scott so patronizingly puts it, “So everyone will have some skin in the game.”

• “Stopping Socialism,” which Scott says includes sunsetting Social Security and Medicare.

• Start spending unlimited billions to build Trump’s folly of a wall across the entire 1,200 mile U.S./ Mexican border.  And to just rub in the partnership, name the wall after: The Donald.

Yes, beware, that this is what some of the far right has on the schedule, if the Republicans takeover the House and the Senate.
