So…this is what Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was thinking about the other day:
When a reporter asked him at an Iowa campaign stop Sunday evening about suspect Robert Lewis Dear saying he was motivated by “no more baby parts,” Cruz countered that he’s also been reported to be a “transgendered [sic] leftist activist.”
Cruz explained, “We know that he was a man registered to vote as a woman.” This discrepancy on Dear’s voter registration was first reported by The Gateway Pundit, a self-described “right-of-center news website,” under the claim that he “identifies as [a] woman.” Conservatives have since run with the claim that Dear is transgender.
Yeah…that makes perfect sense. Because transgendered [sic] women always sport a full, scruffy beard and a mustache. You know, especially if they are “transgendered [sic] leftist activist[s].”
Reality turns out to be a bit more mundane:
Records show Dear traveled 65 miles to a Colorado Springs clerk and recorder’s office to obtain his driver’s license and his voter’s registration card, Parsell said.
Although Dear clearly identified himself as a man, the information was incorrectly logged into a computer, Parsell added.
“Our employee inadvertently clicked on ‘female’ and gave the confirmation to Mr. Dear to review,” he said. “He missed it and signed it.”
Thirteen days later, Dear received the erroneous driver’s license in the mail. Records show he traveled to a Department of Motor Vehicles office in Salida to report the error and request a corrected license, which he received, Parsell said.
To change his voter’s registration card, however, Dear would have had to mail a separate request to his local clerk and recorder’s office.
Crackpots of the week: Ted Cruz and the rest of the right wing “scruffy bearded transgendered woman” theorists.
Holy shit.

Shhhh trying to get Ted’s campaign manager to get him to go roller skating in a buffalo herd or a herd of Texas Long Horns. Don’t want him to be reminded of one possible consequence that could lead to him singing in an opera as Carmen.

Barely a third of eligible voters actually vote. All the people demonized and terrorized by Republicans and have the most to lose when they rule, barely vote in a country that chooses it’s leaders with the ballot. Maybe we deserve ignorant hate mongers like Cruz. Maybe he should be president.
Roger Rabbit spews:
Now watch Cruz, Gateway Pundit, and other wingnut crazies double down on the “transgendered leftist activist” theory of why the bearded wife-beating rapist muttered “no more baby parts” after shooting up an abortion clinic. With their bridgehead surrounded, and the bridges on their retreat route blown into the icy river, about the only thing they have left is to argue that the screwed-up driver’s license story isn’t plausible because government is unerringly accurate and public employees never make mistakes.

@6 Everyone knows that facts have a left wing bias.
Or to rephrase, the left wing has a bias for facts.
As apposed to the right which has a bias for fantasy.
