Was Ted Cruz raised a Communist and is he a Manchurian Candidate?

Couldn't help but wonder after a P-1 lead story in the Sunday Austin American-Statesman praised Ted as "The New Rock Star" while he did virtual stage dives at a gun manufacturing factory at nearby Leander. (The American-Statesman always wimps out at moments like these.) I would like to see Tailgunner Ted ordered to sit in front of a specially-called, new HUAC (just for Ted) and make him clarify his father's role in pre-Castro Cuba. I want to hear in Ted's words how his bomb-throwing father joined Castro with such patriotic glee only to flee suddenly to Canada a year before Batista was forced out. Did his father flip and join the anti-Castro forces linked to Clay Shaw? Ted has dodged and double-talked his way past the subject for too long, and his Tailgunner Ted routine makes him fair game. Just who are you, Ted.

he really *is* the reincarnation of one Joseph R. McCarthy. Look at the facts.....McCarthy died in 1957 and Crud Tez was born in 1970, certainly enough time for Tailgunner Joe to decide he wanted to come back. Physical resemblance is rather close, but the rest of the resemblance even more so.
