You go, Ted Cruz!

Anonymous said...

Ted Cruz 95%!!!! He should be our next president. Too bad they didn't rate Obama - he'd have a minus figure for sure.
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW.

Looking at these ratings it is obvious between gerrymandering, the entitlement voting block, rampant vote rigging, the evident Marxist treason to rule of law and republican form of government, there is no voting our way out of this.

Thomas Massie of Kentucky got 100%??? Really? More than the great Ted Cruz?? I don't even know who he is. Anyone outside of Kentucky ever hear of him?
