Oh lookie here...


Texas Sen. and Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz — who voted against aid in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy — called for federal relief Wednesday in the wake of devastating floods and storms that have ravaged his home state.

The Tea Party darling said he supports “the federal government fulfilling its statutory obligations, and stepping in to respond to this natural disaster,” in regards to the barrage of storms that have left at least 21 people dead and 11 others missing.

Cruz, 44, voted against a federal disaster relief bill after Sandy ravaged the East Coast in October 2012 calling the measure “symptomatic of a larger problem in Washington – an addiction to spending money we do not have.”

Stop being a TAKER Ted. Now you know you'l be branded a socialist if you take it

1. Even though Cruz is an idiot,

there are many areas and people in Texas who are in need of federal aid, just as there were for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

2. Yes, I agree they should get the aid...but he is a hypocrite

3. Of course he does.

His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

In his warped mind, the people of TX deserve federal aid while the people displaced by Sandy did not.

He's an asshole.

4. Make him beg for it, Obama. Make him crawl on his hands and knees in a primetime address

Then tell him he'll only get it if Cruz resigns from his Senate seat and drops out the GOP clusterfuck race for the crazy house 2016.
