Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) went after Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey’s responses during a Senate hearing on the Obama administration’s plan to fight ISIS by suggesting the plan is essentially to send social workers to Iraq and put everyone there on expanded Medicaid.
“Look, it’s not our job to be social workers on Iraq and put them all on expanded Medicaid,” Cruz said on Fox News’s Hannity on Tuesday night.
Dempsey’s answer, Cruz also said in the interview, was “Well, we need to see political reconciliation. We need to change the conditions on the ground so people are not susceptible to extremism.”
Cruz also directed some of his criticism at Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
“I mean, frankly, their answers were far more those you would expect of a social worker than of a military leaders,” Cruz said of Dempsey and Hagel.

(H/t: The Hill)
Throwing the word “social” into any damn thing you toss out there gets the wingnuts all lathered up and Ted is smart enough to know that.
What a Bag of Douche
Oh, and BTW Ted, remember when we invaded Iraq? The US paid for UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE for every goddamned person living in Iraq while we had jack shit here.
I wish a pig would eat him, but they won’t eat just any damn thing.
An extra - large bag.
Cruz could play all of the leaders, in his mind.
