Sen.-Elect Ted Cruz: 'I'm Pretty Certain Mitt Romney Actually French-Kissed Barack Obama' In Third Debate

» 15 comments

Addressing those gathered for the Federalist Society's annual conference yesterday, Texas' Senator-elect Ted Cruz shared that he's sure 'Mitt Romney actually French-kissed Barack Obama' as the former Republican nominee had gotten 'too close' to the President during their final debate.

According to Politico, Cruz contrasted that third debate against the two candidates' first, when Romney made, as Cruz sees it, a real conservative case for voters rather than moving closer to Obama's or presenting more centrist ideas that 'don't work:'

It was the one time we actually contested ideas, presented two viewpoints and directions for the country. And then inevitably, there are these mandarins of politics, who give the voice: 'Don't show any contrasts. Don't rock the boat.' So by the third debate, I'm pretty certain Mitt Romney actually French-kissed Barack Obama.

I have no doubt that there is a focus group somewhere of undecided Ohio voters who have been living in a cave for the last 30 years, who decided they liked that. Don't show any disagreement whatsoever with the president. Don't rock the boat. Just be a nice guy.

• Texas is going to be continuing their long history of stupidity in the Senate with this guy. He might be Hispanic linage but this guy it tried and true Teabag. He is going to make Sen. Tom Coburn look enlightened. What is wrong with the state of Texas?

• First look and you laugh out loud at this statement.
  And then you think people like this will be great for Democrats.
  And then you realize he is Senator elect and the 6 year thing sinks in.

  Ugg

• This guy got in by claiming to be the biggest bag Texas had to offer.

• Look at that nose. Now that he won his election look for him to 'discover' he is actually a Jew. Just like Madeline Halfbright did.

• Wow. Well, now your support for every Republican/conservative here makes total sense.

• what's with the French kissing between two men analogy ?

  we'll find this guy in an airport bathroom stall in a few years.

• this guy is the kind of 'ball and chain' politician who will haunt the GOP for at least 6 years.

• Just got rid of one loud mouth bagger from Florida, now another bagger from Texas wants his 15 min of fame . go figure

• A weird analogy from a weird family values tea party guy.

• But but but'. he's got a Hispanic name! All is forgiven!

• That's because Obama is actually pretty far right on foreign policy and there was no way Romney could go even further right.

• It's just a matter of time and demographics that Texas will turn purple and fringe ideologues like Cruz, Cronyn, Poe, and Gomert will no longer take center stage as we have seen in other states with West, Akin and Mourdock.

• Exactly. Chomsky said it correctly: Bush tortured people accused of terrorism without trial, but Obama just kills them.

• I think you are both on target. This is why I think the GOP needs to reevaluate it's foreign policy more than anything, as Ron Paul has urged.

• Texas' Senator-elect Ted Cruz shared that he's sure 'Mitt Romney actually French-kissed Barack Obama' as the former Republican nominee had gotten 'too close' to the President during their final debate.

  You don't need 'two advanced degree' to know that's some textbook homo-erotic projection right there.

  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
