OK, I don’t know if this is an actual SRIOTD or not, because I can’t find a cite for it.
A meme seen on FB states that Ted Cruz said at CPAC 2014, Now, I would be entirely unsurprised to learn that he did, in fact, say this sometime, somewhere, but the only transcript I can find of his speech at CPAC 2014 did not contain anything remotely like this.
My Google-fu having failed me entirely, I’m hoping someone here can either provide the cite or debunk the Poe. Dude says enough stupid stuff as it is; we don’t need to make him seem even a bit credible by assigning statements to him that he never said.
Sounds more like Santorum or Huckaby. I did a quick search and didn’t see it.
Walker also alluded to the expectation back in the United States that he would run for president, noting the media had described him as “bland” as a prospective candidate. “I’d rather be bland than stupid, or ignorant, or moronic,” he said.
Don’t worry, Governor. You are not bland. You are evil.
Great og what a maroon!

Not to worry Governor, you don’t have to make that choice. You’ve got 'em all.

That could be filed under the “Stupid Media Idea of the Day”. This idea that how exciting a Presidential candidate is is more important than whether he’s corrupt or honest, smart or dumb, has good ideas or bad ideas.
If Walker’s greatest weakness in their view is that he’s bland, then the media is not helping.
No, little addy , Scottie is on the wrong side of all of those things. Certainly not “dumb” though, when he gets to talking, he talks a lot.

She’s obviously referring to it as part of Eretz Yisrael, or Greater Israel. In other words, as a component part of Israel itself rather than an independent territory. That’s one of the ultra-right-wing tells on the P/I situation.
I was thinking, “liberated Judea and Samaria,” myself. Some of these right-wing Israelis probably cry in their falafel that the Shoah made death camps for ethnic minorities obviously unJewish.

But that would be AWESOME!
I mean, way to lose my vote, dude.
Jason Chaffetz is holding hearings on whether Obama had undue pressure on the FCC to influence their net neutrality opinions . Because heaven forbid we have net neutrality.

True. It’s much more important whether you want to have a beer with the candidate. Especially a pretzel incompetent alcoholic…

You can look at a full transcript here , where that quote does not appear. You could try his 2013 cpac keynote, but I could find any transcripts of that 34 minute reglurgitation , if you want to try to pore through it, perhaps you can devise a drinking game?
Reminds me of a scene from Batman: The Animated Series where it occurs to Batman that Baby Doll’s old TV show might have some useful psychological clues. Being a skilled leader, he wisely delegates the task:
That’ll stop them from breeding any more squishy RINOs and get some Party Discipline in here, by gum!
But…glow-in-the-dark humans!
Did somebody just escape from SyFy Channel again?

Bah! While the rest of you heartless fiends allow your schizophrenics to roam the streets, homeless, we in Georgia are giving them gainful, appropriate employment by electing them to our state legislature! (And on occasion, Congress.)

Considering Obama recently put a Comcast lobbyist in charge of the FCC ; and that said lobbyist’s first move at the FCC was “What rules could we put in place to really, really put net neutrality into the ground ? Like, deep, guys ?” yes, yes I’d say he might have put undue pressure on the FCC to influence their opinions.
At least he’s not a dingo.
Who knows? Nowadays, ya gotta check his DNA.

I have it on good authority that this sort of sick experimentation is already happening .
Has he eaten any babies lately?
