The Republicans are really going to have a problem there!

She said yes, of course. Too funny.

One of my friends commented on how many "yes" votes there were

She's a lovely girl.

Shoving it back in his face, down his throat, and up his damn ass.

I apologize to all Texas DUers but I find myself asking repeatedly - what the hell is WRONG with people in states like Texas? WHY ON EARTH do they want to vote for assholes like him? WHY do they like dingdongs like louie gohmert? WHY are they enamored of people like tom delay? WHY do they shove dumb-fuck schmucks like duhbya and rick "oops" perry on the rest of us? WHY? What is the matter with Texas voters? WHY are they now in love with george p. bush? BEWARE, he's gonna make his move one of these days. VERY worrisome, that one.

For some may think it means righteous but they don't realize in Cruz it means radical.

those comments on his page, I'll bet he's thinking 'WTF?' Even I was shocked at how many people came on his page to shit on him.

Saved by Obamacare. Just one of many common threads...none struck me as funny -they would make wonderful ads or a report on Rachel or MSM. Thousands of folks already rescued by ACA and it's just getting started!

doctors, hospitals and foundations that support ACA. So the truly uninformed who support Ted Cruz might just be educated a bit.

. . . and I keep wondering how that is even possible. If we all vote, it won't be.

His "popularity" is just a media creation.

Nate's numbers don't consider the GOP is still in their death spiral. Death spirals don't just stop and reverse themselves.

I added mine but this is some hysterical shit.

Thanks SO much for finding this!

On Monday Ted Cruz, in anticipation of the impending doom of America–something the rest of us would call the Affordable Care Act signup deadline–posed a question to his idiot followers on Monday. It was the tried-and-true drumbeat of the Stupid Party, an attempt to capitalize on the words of the President to whine about Obamacare.

Unfortunately for Cruz, when he asked, “Quick poll: Obamacare was signed into law four years ago yesterday. Are you better off now than you were then? Comment with YES or NO!” Cruz was surely not expecting what happened next: ACA supporters flocked to the thread to express exactly how deluded “Green Eggs and Bullsh*t” really is. Pages and pages of comments in support of the President’s signature law flooded into Cruz’s page:

I went to post and the 'poll' seems to be gone. Chickenshit.

Too bad teddy, seems the rest of the country doesn't doesn't agree with you. Makes my year

A lot of those posts are from Texans like me.

Someone should clone the comments for future reference.

I actually started making screenshots until I realized how many comments there were. Only about 6 or 7 out of first 200 comments were no! Amazing!

It may have been signed into law 4 years ago, but it wasn't implemented until.... now! Cruz thinks he's clever. Back when it was signed into law many were asking "why wait 4 years?"....remember? This is also why when some actress says "Obamacare is not working", one should think "It's not even finished with the enrollment period.... how can anyone tell whether its a failure or not now????"

Anyway..... the answers ol' Teddy got are the very thing the GOP was scared to death about. HA HA!

For most people ... not all, but most ... the economy and thus their own circumstances have improved in the last few years. So the question "are you better off" - if answered honestly - relates to the person's whole circumstances, not just regarding health care - has to be "yes".

on the political pundit talk shows.

to say he's getting absolutely hammered would be an major understatement.

The Tea Party crusade against the Affordable Care Act (ACA) hit a huge snag this week. On March 24, 2014, Texas Tea Party Senator, Ted Cruz, decided to put up a ‘quick poll,’ about the ACA on his facebook page. Problem? The Koch brothers don’t control the conversation on social media, the people do.

Ask a question, get an answer.

The question Rafael ‘Ted’ Cruz asked on facebook was simple. Are you better off now than you were before the ACA, also called Obamacare, was signed into law, four years ago?

Nearly 40,000 comments later, the resounding answer from people all across the country was YES.

People love the ACA.

People who responded to the question cited different reasons for saying that they’re better off since the ACA went into effect. Some pointed out that the ACA has saved them money, reduced their monthly premiums, and lowered deductibles and co-pays.










A large number of those who responded to Cruz’s ‘quick poll,’ said cited the ACA that prevents insurance companies from dropping people with a preexisting condition.

It's good that so many people are posting screenshots.

and it's almost a week later and it's still there.

Either none of his staff (or he) is actually looking at it or they haven't been able to corral enough of their supporters to create sock puppets to drown that out or.... he doesn't give a damn. I expect it's the last option. This type of person is ego-driven and has no concern for anyone or anything outside of themselves.

For the GOP, a poll like this would identify their enemies and give them a geart deal of info.

I was hoping Rachel and Lawrence would too.

"Lashawn Bell Yes I have MS and I lost my job I wouldn't be able to get any
other insurance because of my pre existing condition thank you President
Obama. If people get sick they will realize how this is good."

BTW Please forgive me but I want to punch Ted Cruz in the mouth ..... he
is trying to keep people from getting health care under the old system we
were spending 20% of our GDP, 45,000/yr were dying, the biggest cause of
bankruptcy was health care expenses.

may have to change his last name to "Screwn." What a dolt.

This FB disaster should have gotten big-time play on the Sunday talk shows.



But I think as long as the site is up, it should be passed around...the more, the merrier.

I keep watch on my Tea Party representative's Facebook page so I can respond to his constant stream of anti-ACA lies.

Surely, if it were Ted Cruz would have taken it down by now.

They are a bit clueless sometimes

be able to afford to have thier heads removed from your rectum.''

facebook thread for documentation before Cruz' staff deletes all those postings. This is what Dems need to see. They should be taking the issue straight at the bastards instead of apologizing for the law.

There are a whole bunch of DUers who need to scroll through those 50,000 posts and their subthreads. I'd say that 99% of the respondents are overjoyed, well-informed, and think Cruz is a skunk of the lowest order.

1000s of people had already posted their comments.

The popularity of that page has nothing to with DU.

From John Henry:

There were only a few negative comments, all straight from faux news no doubt. This is really quite surprising as most of his other BS posts seems to have many supportive comments from his tea-bagger followers.

Thank you, thank you, Sam I Am.
