Make that CRAZY HYPOCRITE!

Ted Cruz is symptomatic of a larger problem in Washington - hypocrisy and an attitude that "if it doesn't affect me, screw 'em." Gay people don't deserve equal rights until they learn that their child is gay--suddenly, they have a revelation and change their mind.

Let's not provide aid to those libruls in the northeast because, well, they're mostly Democrat [sic]. But when it hits close to home in a red state, heck yeah, they want all the help they can get!

I hope the media calls him out on his hypocrisy and insists on an explanation. Same goes for the rest of them who expect help for their state yet voted against helping Hurricane Sandy victims.
