Ted Cruz says he won't apologize for 'tots and pears' for Colorado shooting victims

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senator Ted Cruz said he won't apologize for sending thoughts and prayers to the victims of the Boulder, Colorado supermarket shooting.

"I don't apologize for thoughts or prayers. I will lift up in prayer people who are hurting and I believe in the power of prayer, and the contempt of Democrats for prayers is an odd sociological thing," Cruz, a Republican said in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday.

He added: "But I also agree thoughts and prayers alone are not enough. We need action."

The comments come after police said a gunman shot and killed 10 people at a Boulder, Colorado supermarket on Monday.

1. Democrats have no contempt for "thoughts and prayers". They have contempt for YOU Cruz.

We have contempt for the idea that "thoughts and prayers" do anything but mock the pain of those who have lost because Republicans do absolutely nothing to actually solve problems, which is precisely what they are sent to Congress to do. The contempt is for the "theater of caring". The contempt is for the emptiness of the words.

We don't want Cruz to apologize for sending thoughts and prayers. We want him to apologize for being Ted Cruz, a worthless piece of shit who gets in the way of progress and who constantly lies about everything.

5. "Democrats have no contempt for..." They merely think it is not enough, alone. Good to hear

Cruz is on board with Democrats, I say in snark.

7. I have contempt for thoughts and prayers. It does literally nothing to help the situation.

And, specifically, in his position and job he is supposed to fix things. He can shove his thoughts and prayers up his ass. Do you job and fix the problem.

I'm quite sure that in my job as teacher if what I was doing in the classroom wasn't working, I couldn't just say "my thoughts and prayers go out to the students" and call it a day. I would need to, you know, actually do my fucking job.

3. Straw Man

No one asked him to apologize for his thoughts or his prayers, just his inaction.

It's a distraction, using Gawd to deflect from teh gunz, which were used by another white guy to murder ten people.

Let them have guns. Ban ammunition.
