Ted Cruz is a Cunt.

[Que]

25.5% of Maryland's workers are Government employees.

Which is why there has been no recession there. Employment, wages and bonuses have all continued to climb.

Yes, but only when the government hasn't been shut down by the boneheads in Congress.

 

[Que]

Yes, but only when the government hasn't been shut down by the intransigence of a "my way or the highway" elections-have-consequences-unless-my-side-loses president.

-FYP.

They all got their back pay after the administration stopped holding the military and SS recipients hostage.

I do hope so

Senate conservatives will flock to Cruz and Lee since none trust McConnell of Boehner.

I want you guys to really get in there and show america what you can do. Deport the illegals, hang the abortionist, convert every woman back into Donna Reed only with a baby bump, Starve the unemployed and grace their lives with voucher for their healthcare.

Just swirl yourself into a foaming at the mouth republican frenzy of budget slashing and belt tightening for the poor. Shut down the government, what the hell, that is why the people sent you there ain't it. Show america what you can do.

And when it is all over and everybody is pointing fingers saying it ain't my fault, you will still think these idiots are heroes.

Hyperbole, much?

little bit, from time to time

Seriously.

“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding”

In this sense, I agree. Cruz is a cunt. A sneaky, crafty, cunt that can take a pounding and keep coming.

Watch out for that guy. This is who he really is:

I think everyone does, in the heat of quarrel as JBJ reminds us it is called. When advancing an argument, it's better to avoid it because hyperbole is easy to pierce.

I know you hide behind iggy, but will probably view my post anyway.

I don't think your math is correct (big surprise, I know).

Maryland:

Total labor force is 3,100,400.
Government employment is 499,500

That's 16% and includes Federal, state and local government employees.

Link

Texas has 14.2% of their workforce working for the government

You can verify that with Drudge if you want.

Probably the stat came from county-specific data and excludes the poorer areas...something like XYZ and PDQ counties bordering DC have a per capita income of such and such and 25.5% work for the government. The rest are on K street.

Government is the industry of Maryland even if they do not all draw a gov't check.

Which is also a vote in favor of Perry being an idiot for trying to lure Maryland workers to Texas.

NIH and NSA are both good examples. They have a core of government employees, but an order of magnitude more people working in private industry either supporting those agencies directly, or in businesses that capitalize from proximity.

I don't have any idea of the numbers but agencies have realized that the pension is dead in private industry for a reason. You cannot afford to fund them properly. Also government scale is expensive for the labor you are buying. Many parts of government to stretch budget dollars are using temporary agency workers and out-right contractors. See Edward Snowden.

We know that there is 4 trillion up for grabs. Some goes for Government Brand government employees. Some goes to private label government employees. Even the military. A lot of personnel costs for the military are contractors from truck drivers to food service to special ops.

Actually, the bigot *might* be right. I thought it was BS to so I googled.

3. Maryland
> Pct. working for government: 25.5%
> Median household income: $70,004 (the highest)
> Unemployment: 6.7% (21st lowest)

http://247wallst.com/special-report/2013/03/11/states-with-the-most-government-employees/3/

Mid you, I have no idea what the credibility of that site is.

Never heard of that site. My numbers came from BLS. On your link though, it's funny that the bastion of wackyness, Alaska, is #1. I blame Palin.

that's not spittle, its tears

Mikey, you got a little spittle on your chin that time, you want to take a minute and wipe it off? Just askin'.

Watching what is going on with the results of this last election is very close to watching your sister go home with her drunk husband who you know abuses her.

You want so bad to do something to save her but she won't let you. So you just try to ignore the situation and hope she comes to her senses.

He has unresolved issues because of his poor Papito who got served by Castro when Ted was only a chiquito. http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/images/smilies/sadnod.gif Now who knows what kind of hate-spewing Cruz feels he has to do for approval.

Me neither, that's why I added the disclaimer. I'm pretty sure that's the same link vettebirther got his numbers from since they are the same. I also find it funny that he hates the state we live in and swears it's in ruins yet we're not even in the top 10.

Tiresome, baseless, BS.

It's true. His Padre was abused by "the oppressive regime."

So, why does that make him a bad man?

I never said he is bad. I did say he is damaged and hateful. People like me are on the receiving end of his hatred, but he's not necessarily bad. As a white man, you probably don't understand the Hispanic complex anyhow.
