Politicians, human decency, and Ted Cruz
"Decency" is one of those things that "you know it when you see it."
On the Dem side, I believe that both Bernie and Hillary are, for the most part, decent people.
On the Republican side, there seems to be a lack of decency that goes beyond personal political preferences. There's only one person on the Republican side that I believe has basic human decency and that's John Kasich.
The others are mostly opportunists who will pretty much do and say almost anything to promote themselves. But I believe that one person crosses the "human decency" line. And he doesn't give a rat's ass about the fate of anyone or anything on this planet aside from himself. Ted Cruz.
Why Cruz? I believe that's it's virtually impossible for someone to consistently choose what can be called "the dark side" unless they're making a conscious decision to do so.
As an agnostic, I've always been wary of the terms "good" and "evil." However, once in a while, someone comes along who virtually compels me to use those terms, therefore, I believe the following:
Ted Cruz is "evil."
And I don't mean that in the sense that he has a 666 tattoo somewhere on him.
I mean it in the sense that the man just emanates strong, negative vibes. Watching his daughter pull away from him in disgust when he tries to kiss her cheek is one example. Another is his facial expressions that always seem to belie the words coming out of his mouth. And perhaps the most telling one is his "Jesus thing" where he attempts to convince people that he is "God's Chosen One." That's sick, and beyond what one would consider "normal."
In short, Cruz scares the hell out of me.
