Why is Lauren Mayer so happy singing this song? Same reason I am every time I see Paul Broun, Ted Cruz, Michele Bachmann or my very own Louie Louie Golmert!
Ted Cruz is a demagogue like Joe McCarthy, plays the same finger pointing game in the Senate as Joe McCarthy did, has the same politics of hate and right-wing smallness as Joe McCarthy and Cruz even looks and acts like Joe McCarthy. But none of those things are what makes him today’s incarnation of Tailgunner Joe. Rather it is just like Joe McCarthy put an end to that dark time of what we now call McCarthyism, so Ted Cruz will be the face and the name who put the darkness of the Tea Party Ugly to bed once and for all.
How many remember The John Birch Society? That was top Right-wing movement of the Fifties, and where are they now?
