Bruce Labay runs an oilfield services company in El Campo, Texas, and he loves him some Ted Cruz.
Just drove past this. Company spells out 'we need more repubs like Ted Cruz' in cups. Cc: @tedcruz @TwitchyTeam pic.twitter.com/ap5fMhc230

He’s not feeling much love for “candy-ass Republicans” (or as the New York Times reported, “softhearted Republicans“).
This same company has this spelled out on another fence. These people just get it. Cc. @TwitchyTeam pic.twitter.com/arxk24ziAm

Via the New York Times:
Mr. Labay, 55, made his signs by sticking 1,200 plastic foam cups, one by one, into the loops of his chain-link fence, a 90-minute project that filled much of the fencing around BL Oilfield Services in the town of El Campo.
“I was proud of him,” Mr. Labay said of the state’s junior senator. “I was proud he was a Texan. I wish they would have held firm, and we’d still be shut down.”
Cruz showed his appreciation for the sign at his “welcome home” rally in Texas.

Driving on 59 South in SE TX and read a sign: "We need more Republicans like Ted Cruz" The fuck! I had to pull over to puke.
