Sen. Rafael Edward "Ted" Cruz: Censor and Remove

Sen. Cruz (R-TX): Extreme Radical, Troublemaker, Wackjob, and Nutcase
(he does not deserve to be a United States Senator)

Rundown on  Cruz's latest can see seen in this clip from HARDBALL w/Chris Matthews. 
It is about 7-minutes:


Cruz not only acts like former Sen. Joe McCarthy, but in most cases sounds like and even resembles him, to. McCarthy was in 1954 censored by Senate Resolution 301.

Background:  On December 2, 1954, the Senate voted to censure McCarthy, who had led the fight in Congress to root out suspected Communists from the Federal Government. The censure described his behavior as “contrary to senatorial traditions.”

To be outspoken or harsh in criticism about public policy or anyone in public office is okay, but to advocate shutting down the government. To me, that is tantamount to anarchy or worse – since it is in essence saying “we don’t need the government structure of the country – do away with it.” It weakens the country in more ways than one.  

This man is patently ill, and he needs to get out of public office the sooner the better. 

Not only do I have this same strong feeling towards Cruz, but to anyone else who advocates shutting down the government and therefore in essence degrading the country. It does not matter who they are or from which political party they belong to, either. It is in a word "un-American" by any standard.
