    The Ted Cruz Blimp, Coming to a Sky Near You!

    Cruz Supporters Planning to Launch ‘Ted Cruz Air Force’
    by Justin Haskins - 25 Apr 20150

    A group of zealous supporters of Sen. Ted Cruz’ (R-TX) 2016 presidential run is planning to launch a ‘Ted Cruz Air Force’ (TCAF) in the coming months prior to the Republican primaries that begin in less than a year.
    ...
    TCAF says its most prominent air feature will be the “Ted Cruz Blimp,” but it also plans on recruiting “antique aircraft, towed aerial banners, light sport aircraft … [and] parachutes.”

    Member of TCAF Jerry Collette says he’s going to do everything he can to help Cruz win the GOP nomination.

    “I support Ted Cruz because, like Ron Paul before him, Ted Cruz stands on principle, even if people on both sides of the aisle oppose him for doing so,” said Collette.

    According to Collette, he’ll be joined by several members of the team who launched and operated a blimp for former Rep. Ron Paul during the 2008 GOP primaries.

    LOL this actually helps Rand. Chances are good when a blimp is mentioned so will Ron be mentioned. The more goodwill Ron has right now, the more tailwind Rand will have.

    Looks like some that were involved in Ron Paul Blimp are running this as well?

    Will what I spend on the blimp be reported to the government?

    Similarly to how we did on the Ron Paul Blimp, this will be done outside of most campaign finance regulations. This time, we will bypass even more regulations. Nothing you spend with us will be reported, and it will all be legal.

    I'm seriously wondering now if this is a hoax or troll effort of some kind.

    The text on that web faq page looks awfully familiar...
    Brawndo's got what plants crave. Its got electrolytes.



    H. L. Mencken said it best:


    “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”


    "As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

    Anyone who latches on to Ted Cruz and supports him with the zeal they did Ron utterly and completely missed the point of Ron Paul and his message.

    What exactly was the point and message of Ron Paul? I just want to make sure I didn't miss it. Ask that question of a dozen people and I'd wager you get a dozen different answers.

    I'll never understand the appeal of Ted Cruz. Or Marco Rubio for that matter.
    “When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, I will rout you out!”
    ― Andrew Jackson
