RED OAK, Iowa - Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) dropped a few gun control jokes during his latest swing through Iowa, days after the shooting deaths of nine people in a Charleston, South Carolina, church.
"You know the great thing about the state of Iowa is, I'm pretty sure you all define gun control the same way we do in Texas -- hitting what you aim at," Cruz said at a town hall meeting Friday in Red Oak.
Before a crowd of nearly 70 people, Cruz recalled a recent excursion to a gun range in New Hampshire that had fully automatic machine guns.
"My wife, Heidi, who is a petite, 5'2 California blonde, she was standing at the tripod unloading the full machine gun with a pink baseball cap that said 'armed and fabulous,'" he said.

are like raw sewage. How anything like Cruz got into the spotlight, is a testemant to how far American politics has fallen into the trash can.
He has to be one of the most mean spirited persons I've ever read about.

I can't imagine why else he needed to describe her.

I thought that Romnuts was an incompent campaigner, but the Tedster takes it to a whole other level.
