Why am I NOT surprised to see Ted Cruz's name on this crap? *sigh*

AND Cruz and his sidekick are going after both LGBT rights AND women's reproductive rights. Perfect. *doublesigh*

Aaaaaand this is the same douchebag who's planning to run for President. *triplesigh*

He won't get it. The Tea Party may love him but the establishment think he's a dumb hick and there's no big money behind him the way it is for Jeb Bush / Chris Christie / Scott Walker. So basically... it's going to be like Michelle Bachmann all over again.

In my case, it's *I* don't have a voting representative of my own.

I just want to slap some of them.
