Is it "Lying Ted Cruz" or "Crying Ted Cruz"?

Apparently it is some of both since he has run up against a little competition.

Water, water everywhere... but is it fit for human consumption?

It is ridiculous to think each individual person should have to seek out drinking water quality reports during this period of flooding in Texas Hill Country where Republicans hold power.

Reports concerning the safety and quality of drinking water should be provided by the government agencies responsible through the media just as the water levels are reported every single day.

I can appreciate that these Republican admirers of Ayn Rand think this is a personal responsibility to seek out this information; but, even Ayn Rand readily applied for, and accepted without protest, Social Security and Medicare.

This is how the Republican disdain for democracy comes forward in real life affecting our health and safety.

Common sense should tell us if it isn’t safe to be in the water it might not be safe to be drinking the water derived from these reservoirs.

Common sense should also alert us that something may be wrong when the waters upstream and downstream from us are contaminated and polluted.

Of course, there are scientific tests that can be performed and we should be informed on a daily basis of these test results just like we are informed of lake levels.
