I'm with you, Cordell! I don't get it either except that he, Cruz, is an EVIL Republican, a White Supremacist, and a Nazi immitator, evidently. Ever since the January 6th fiasco that 99% of Republicans condemn, we horrible Republicans have been thrown into the group, by association (the Dems have determined) of those rebel-rousers, those idiots who ransacked the Capitol. They have decided that we who voted for Trump, must be forever labeled as insane and unworthy of ever voting again, if they can figure out a way to keep us locked away in a camp, say, like the Uighurs in China. We are a disgrace to our country, they think, especially certain leaders of their party. That is why they have DC behind fencing, controlled by the National Guard! They honestly think that masses of us are a murderous group, and that we will be trying to "attack them again," as soon as we get some mysterious message on our computers from some fantastical 'Q' leader, and that we will once again come flying to DC, with our backpacks full of weapons to seize control.
And I just read that, according to Coca Cola teaching manuals of late, "White folks are being encouraged to 'be less White.' What! Why should we try to be less White? Are we supposed to believe that we are to have shame because of the way we were born.....in our white skins? Are the Blacks or brown-skinned people ashamed of themselves for how they were born?
NO! They seem to be very proud folks around me, and they don't mind showing their presence right up in my face, on some occasions, when I'm in their company at a mall, or restaurant, or other gathering places. They often glare at me as if encouraging me to say something, with confrontational stare-downs, even though I try to stay clear of them, when I notice their daring glances.
As for Ted Cruz, he didn't break any laws that I'm aware of, he just decided to get away from sleeping in a sleeping bag in front of his fireplace, as were the other members of his family. He and his wife decided they could catch a flight to Cancun, and beat the cold snap, since they had the money to do so. If any of the rest of us had the money and the opportunity to do so, we would probably have done the same. But there are so many Texans who are down right "jealous" of his wealthy and opportunity, that they think they have the right to shame him for doing what he did. We are, in my opinion, 'coveting' what Ted Cruz has, which we are warned or instructed not to do, because we are foolishly 'falling into a trap of desiring what that man has' wishing we could have/do the same. Actually, some of us could do the same if we had accomplished what Cruz has accomplished, if we had tried our best to actually DO what he has done.
People are saying that he should not have left Texas, he should have suffered the cold just as WE DID! Why? Would any of us have felt better knowing that he, his wife and daughters were sleeping and eating in front of their fireplace, just as WE were doing? Does that mean that "If I have to endure the cold and discomfort, then BY DAMN, SO DO YOU!" Isn't that being a bit selfish and vindictive....and mean-spirited? What does anyone gain by acting or feeling that way?
"Come on MAN!" Ted Cruz was not in charge of the people who ran the energy company responsible for the electrical failure, and I'm sure he had his laptop and his iphone with him, so that he would have been able to respond to anyone who had a need of his assistance, and would have come back to Texas within a few hours if his help was needed. I'm sure he contacted all the right people before he left, to see if he was needed in any way, as he is not an irresponsible man, or senator.
But I guess he traveled on a commercial flight, with his family, so he was "seen" by other people on the flight, and he must have realized that folks on the flight were startled and were 'a-twitter with texting and whispers going around, so he figured out that he was about to become a slammed person on Twitter's SHAME FORUM! I suspect alot of the 'gossip' floating around the plane was from people who dislike him for being a Republican, and for being one of those senators who wanted to request an accounting of votes, that horrible day on January 6th, even though he had a perfect 'Right" to do so, along with the other Congressmen and women with him that day. They were not protesting Biden's upcoming inauguration, but were hoping to get their words and presentation 'on the record,' with their desires to improve requirements for the next election.
Now, as we have witnessed, Ted Cruz is a marked man walking, and is being vilified in the mainstream press, as a sleezy, sneak-away senator, who left Texans behind DYING in the cold. It's as if he left us on his living room sofa, telling us "Adios losers!" "Stay under covers and eat leftovers from my 'frig, 'cause I can't afford to take y'all along!"

It doesn't take too much memory to recall Mr. Chicken. Especially fun when Buddy was there behind the counter and his car outside....
