So if you were a dog, would you rather belong to Ted Cruz or Mitt Romney?

Yes, you have to choose.

Perhaps you remember that many, many years ago, Romney drove to Canada for a family vacation with his Irish setter Seamus on the roof of his car. I mentioned this fact about two million times when Romney ran for president, mainly to break up the tedium of a very boring campaign.

This week Cruz made headlines when he got caught taking a plane for a family escape to Mexico while Texas was suffering through its stupendous weather crisis.

Michael Hardy, a Texas journalist, went to check the on the empty Cruz house in Houston and discovered the neighborhood had indeed had a power outage. He also saw “a small, white dog looking out the bottom right pane of glass in the senator’s front door.”

Ted had abandoned Snowflake the poodle! OK, that’s a little tough. A security guard parked outside the senator’s house volunteered that he’d been doing some caretaking.

Apparently, Republican politicians aren't mentally fit enough to have pets! Still, at least Romney did take his do with him on vacation, even if he did tie him to the roof of the car.

My feeling is that Republicans are basically sociopaths, from slightly like Romney to completely, like Trump. Treating a family pet in that way shows a lack of empathy.
 
I think it's cute that people think that anyone in the Cruz family cares for their pets, or anything else in the home. I'm sure that's what Hispanic migrant workers are for in Cruz world, at least until someone finds out they are undocumented.

Where's anyone saying that?
I see a lot of people thinking Cruz oughtta care for, or show care for, living things he's taken responsibility for. But no one's treating this like Ted's suddenly possessed, or replaced by a pod-people version of Ted, or his evil twin, Twed.

At the risk of appearing to defend Ted Cruz, the thing about the dog is a distraction. When I had a dog, my best friend would watch her when I went on vacation. Since she wasn't good with his animals he would come by on a daily basis to feed her, take her for walks, and make sure she was okay. I would return the favor by watching his pets when he was out of town.

No, the real problem here is that Ted used his wealth and power to skip out on the people of Texas. The overwhelming majority of whom could not just suddenly decide to pop off to Cancun for a day or a long weekend on short notice, let alone in the middle of a natural disaster/pandemic.

I can never tell whether conservatives have a point of view worthy of consideration because it’s always buried in bullshit like this and that destroys their credibility and makes me stop wanting to listen to them.

It's not so much the lying crazy shit these people say but that there is a large audience out there that laps it up. It's why I think that the US is doomed to slowly become what Russia has become.

Taking a pet on an international vacation is generally not possible. You either board it or have someone come by to take care of it.

I meant "cares for" in the sense of providing them care in the form of food, water, walking them, etc. We know that Ted Cruz, at least, is a sociopath. I would not want to needlessly extend that to the rest of his family, given that I know nothing about them.
