Ted Cruz Wants You To Pray For Him

Posted by | November 20, 2015 11:24 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Religion


Ted Cruz now has a “national prayer team.” This must mean he knows God wants him to be president.

Mr. Cruz, who has aggressively courted the support of evangelicals, said the creation of the team would “establish a direct line of communication between our campaign and the thousands of Americans who are lifting us up before the Lord.”

Group members will receive emails containing prayer requests and a short devotional every week, the campaign said. They will also be invited to take part in a 20-minute “prayer conference call” each Tuesday.

Mr. Cruz has placed the subject of religious freedom, and what he sees as attacks against it, at the center of his campaign, holding major religious rallies in Iowa and South Carolina and appearing regularly at churches.

Mr. Cruz’s spokesman, Rick Tyler, suggested the prayer team’s aim was far more modest.

“I don’t have a political or tactical angle on it,” he said. “It is what it is. It’s a group of people who wanted to get together and pray for Ted and his wife and the nation as a whole.”

    Is Ted starting to refer to himself in the third person?

    I have a troll on another thread trying to convince me that Cruz is a strict constitutionalist. I’m trying my damnedest to not have a seizure from all the laughter.

    • Larry Schmitt November 20th, 2015 at 11:45

      You can’t reason with a fool like that. You could talk to him all day and get nowhere.

  3. MyDogsAreSmarterThanYou November 20th, 2015 at 11:32

    GOP nutjobs fail to see the irony in claiming there are attacks against Christianity, while simultaneously attacking Muslims for their faith.

    • Larry Schmitt November 20th, 2015 at 11:44

      They’re not big on seeing irony in so many of the things they say.

  4. MyDogsAreSmarterThanYou November 20th, 2015 at 11:32

    I’d be more than happy to pray for Cruz. He might not like the content of my prayers though.

  5. Larry Schmitt November 20th, 2015 at 11:44

    I’ll pray to Baal for him. Will that do?

  6. Anomaly 100 November 20th, 2015 at 11:45

    Lets pray that he is out of office soon.

    • Larry Schmitt November 20th, 2015 at 11:46

      Problem is, as with most incumbents, he has the job as long as he wants it, even without doing it, as now. Ted is campaigning, not legislating. Same with all the current officeholders/candidates.

    And when are churches going to lose their tax exempt status?

  10. aNYYANKEEinQueenHaleysCourt November 20th, 2015 at 12:23

    God helps those who help themselves Ted …no prayer for you!

    No thanks Ted. As a Christian, I’ll post this POSITIVE song about this being a brand new day, and how He will help you let go of the negativity of the past:

    Ted Cruz Wants You To Pray For Him.
    Why?
    Is he as bad as he seems?

  13. Gina Bousquet November 20th, 2015 at 13:18

    Luckily evangelicals alone don’t elect a candidate.

  14. Bunya November 20th, 2015 at 13:19

    Glad to oblige:
    Dear God:
    Please show mercy on us by having Ted Cruz be the next republican to drop out of the race.

    • Suzanne McFly November 20th, 2015 at 14:58

      My prayer would go something like this….”Please God, let cruz be the one who debates Hillary, this way we can show the entire world how weak he is.”

      • Bunya November 20th, 2015 at 20:34

        …or how stupid he is.

  15. William November 20th, 2015 at 13:19

    I’ll get right on that Raphael.

  16. William November 20th, 2015 at 13:41

    Stick a fork in him, he’s done.

    “Group members will receive emails containing prayer requests and a short devotional every week, the campaign said. They will also be invited to take part in a 20-minute “prayer conference call” each Tuesday.” No mention of the donation request we all know will be included.

    Dear god,

    please smit this heathen.

  19. Dwendt44 November 20th, 2015 at 16:07

    Sorry Teddy, nothing fails like prayer.

    ————————————–

    Another one religion candidate who has no clue what ” freedom of religion ” really means

    Here you go Ted….

    The right of people to hold any religious beliefs, or none, and to carry out any practices
    in accordance with those beliefs or with that absence of belief, so
    long as these practices do not interfere with other people’s legal or
    civil rights, or any reasonable laws, without fear of harm or prosecution.

      wow!

      yet again I’m enlightened at LL concerning OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

      you can walk around in public with an open carry strapped on plastic dildo under the 1st Amendment also!

      • robert November 20th, 2015 at 19:10

        careful The gop will get you for indecent exposure ( sporting a dildo )

        • cspanjunkie1 November 20th, 2015 at 20:07

          funny it isn’t the conservatives who usually skewer anyone for saying or doing something offensive- the liberals are known for that- I have heard conservatives say that they find it offensive but they will fight for your right to be offensive- I watch as the liberals go all out crazy and like petty tyrants will try to strip someone of any rights- so I am confused as to the some of the conjecture posted here-

          • robert November 20th, 2015 at 20:19

            There is no confusion at all The gop will always fight for their own best interest It all depends if they need you along the way
