How Well Do You Know Ted Cruz? Part II
http://thorntoncrowe.blogspot.com ^ | April 8, 2016 | Thornton Crowe

Everyone sees on the news the bickering going back and forth between Cruz and Donald Trump now days. It's no secret that Trump believes Cruz is a liar. Lyin' Ted. But have you ever asked yourselves why this moniker has taken on a life of it's own?

Let's forget about the sex scandal articles in the National Enquirer, the DC Madam scandal and the bashing about his nefarious allegiance to a minister who wants to execute gays. There's more to this situation than most would like to admit. And it's time, if you really wanted to be an informed, responsible voter, you investigated as I did why Ted Cruz shouldn't become our President in any way.

China & Trade

Ted Cruz supports the already in place trade deals with China and Mexico, which have damaged Americans financially for two decades since first truly implemented with the Clintons. In an interview with political commentator, Laura Ingram, he came right out and said he was for the status quo for which Ingram chastised him with facts and a dig on his Harvard education. She is quite clear. Listen to her interview.

Immigration

There has been a bit of ambiguous stance where Cruz is concerned on immigration. While he has been stealing Trump's Wall and Deportation platform as of late, his history in the Senate has denoted a much different tale, which is quite disturbing. If you watch the video with Bret Baier here, you will see Cruz actually becomes nervous when Baier asks him about his actions of yesteryear verses his stances today.

In Gang of 8, Cruz repeatedly said he wanted the bill to pass. This is the same bill that granted amnesty and allowed more working visas from foreign countries at the expense of American workers, whom have suffered devastated loss due to the foreign workers coming in and taking their jobs. Remember Disney with the workers who had to train their replacements? Well, this is all part of the same ball of Gang of 8.

While Cruz tries weakly to defend himself, he falls flat when talking about his amendments. It got so bad during the interview that Baier asks him which stance should voters believe? For or against? As both have come out of his mouth and through action, it is hard to ascertain his true stance. However, his wife, Heidi has been fighting for the New World Order nonsense which would strip America of sovereignty and merge us with the continent - Mexico, USA and Canada. This would also erase our Constitution and Bill of Rights by clustering us under the United Nations authority. Meaning we are a country NO MORE.

As you all know, Ryan passed the Omnibill last year that has provided money for 300,000 refugees from Syria to infiltrate our communities and do pretty much what they're doing in Europe. No more late night trips to Checker's as rape and pillage have become the norm in Europe now that refugees have been allowed to take over communities and terrorize citizens.

Donations and Financial Support

Going along with the whole NWO comes George Soros. He is the rich guy who has been causing all kinds of trouble in order to get his gal pal, Hillary Clinton, elected (and paying for BLM and other protestors money to protest Trump Events). Why? Because Soros fully supports NWO as it helps him get a few more billions and yields him astronomical power over Americans.

Another issue that's come to surface is this: Cruz goes around tooting about Trump's donations to Clinton during her 2008 primary campaign and other Democrats but he omits a few very interesting facts about Trump's donations. First, he got a REFUND from the Clinton campaign and when tallying up the donations (9 in total) his family members gave money to Clinton; therefore, he gave her one (1) donation. (Fully refunded.)

Second, Ted himself got money from Cruz along with a cute little snapshot of him shaking Trump's hand when he got his check (no refund reported). Trump not only contributed to his campaign but also his little buddies, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It is true, Trump has given to many politicians on the Right and Left. He gave money to Reagan, both Bushes and the Clintons. As a businessman trying to work with legislature and other bureaucracy, most businessmen and women will atest, it's a good thing to have politicians who owe you a favor. It also is good for public relations. In business this is common not the extraordinary.

Third, Ted's law firm in Texas also gave to both Obama's presidential campaigns. Yes, you read that right. He contributed to Democrats, too. Yet, he makes Trump out to be some Leftist pig for doing what he, himself, has done without an ounce of acknowledgement to the hypocrisy in his meme.

UPDATED:

Fourth, it seems that Cruz is now in some pretty hot water with his own fundraising efforts. While he decries that he is not in with the SUPERPACs that have focused much effort and cash against Trump, many have found that he has directed these PACs personally. There has been large transfers of money between them at his direction. Seems like he has some explaining to do in court as some cases have been filed against him.

As seen in Politico, he has blatantly broken the law in his manipulation of SuperPACs.

Senatorial Voting for Relief

Ted Cruz voted against relief for Sandy victims, 9/11 victims and also for extension of benefits for veterans. Yes, that's right. He promotes making illegal aliens the benefactors of what should go to the men and women who have fought for our freedom! This is all a matter of public record! It's not that difficult to find.

"I'm an Outsider..."

Don't let that outsider moniker fool you. Cruz and Heidi worked for George H. Bush during his election and they both got some pretty spiffy appointments as a reward for their election efforts. In fact, it's the beginning of the Cruz love story. That's how they met, fell in love and set up homestead. Now, Neil Bush (the black sheep Bush who was convicted of embezzling millions) is on Cruz's campaign team and both Bush brothers are assisting in Cruz's campaign. Last but not least, if Lindsey Graham (SC-R) endorses you after telling people on the Senate floor he'd love it if someone would 'knock you off,' (not to mention Soros whose also donated to Kasich and Clinton) you're establishment through and through.

In conclusion, it seems that over last week, since the big cheat in Wisconsin (look up the Democracy Hacked Documentary by HBO on YouTube. 80+ minutes showing how programs can change votes undetected through the Diebold Machines which Maryland also uses,) he has received an abysmal reception from his New York Values slight during a debate. Many New Yorkers are neither impressed with Cruz and the NY Daily News has given him a couple staggering covers telling him to take the F U train and get out of New York.

While many political pundits and talking heads are all wheezy over Cruz's hostile reception in NY, they all admit his remark was a 47% level remark that probably sunk Romney's bid in 2012. This time he said it in a debate and Mother Jones didn't have to pen one article.

If you don't believe the things above, this video may be very enlightening for you when you look at Cruz and Trump side by side.

So folks, it's up to you to do research. Really look at the things Ted Cruz has done as a Senator and Attorney to ascertain if this is the caliber of person you want speaking for you in the White House.

Ted Cruz supports the already in place trade deals with China and Mexico, which have damaged Americans financially for two decades

Free trade has helped Americans financially because it provides Americans with more goods for their purchasing dollar. It has also created trade-related jobs, retail jobs, shipping jobs, etc. The premise offered above is the usual union/Democrat drivel that now permeates the Trump/Sanders campaign.

Good for you, Dave. I voted for Trump in Florida. Was a poll watcher the entire day from before the polls opened to after the polls closed with no break. Wasn’t going to let any “funny business” happen.

IF the trade deals really supported free trade you would be right Things like the TPP aren’t about free trade but rather sovereignty

Check your Bible, and the demonstrated actions and values of tRump.

Trump is a totally WRONG CHOICE for the United States, especially at this time.

Just how much have you been watching and understanding of tRump's actions versus his rhetoric ?
Look at an analysis of how Trump has shown that he perceives the problems we're in.
Now again I say, SERIOUSLY CONSIDER JUST WHO you're supporting with your vote.
Do you want to ATONE for that vote come JUDGEMENT DAY ?

The way you type “tRump” almost every time — 8 times in that last post alone — instead of “Trump”, as in “Vote Trump”, is so dear! I’ll bet you get a thrill up your leg every time you do that. Are you also the wit who thought of “Faux” News? I’ll bet you are! Gosh, so darned clever! I’m just in awe over here. It’s a great reminder of just how intellectually and morally superior you cruzers really are!

One of the best lists so far to describe Cruz and his shameful pandering for a vote from anyone. He’s no more a christian than his campaign adviser Glenn Beck. Thanks for posting it. I’ll tweet it out to about a million people this morning.

Check your Bible, and the demonstrated actions and values of CRUZ.
Does the Bible say that you should “Win, no matter what the cost” ?
Does the Bible say “Let the ‘Little People’ lose” ?
Does the Bible say “Never let a ‘perceived wrong’ go” ?
Does the Bible say “You should walk toward your Bride at your Marriage Ceremony thinking ‘It’ll never work because I’m bored already’ “ ?
Does the Bible value ‘Money over Honor’ ?
Does the Bible value ‘Pride’ more than ‘Principles above Party’ “ ?
Does the Bible promote “Bullying your way through” ?

I KNOW what the Bible says and your thwarted interpretation is NOT correct.
Cruz is a sleazy lawyer lifetime politician. He has no moral standing at all.
Trump shares his wealth with people who need him and Cruz doesn’t even contribute to his own “church.” Cruz is a false prophet and would only continue the destruction of America.I will NEVER vote for Cruz, the establishments temporary fake and imposter!

Ted Cruz is a bit of an illusion, not unlike a character we watch in any other TV sitcom.

Now, some illusions are better than others, but the dangerous illusions are the ones we believe are the absolute keys to our happiness or are the keys to keeping said happiness safe from all threats.

Can you see how/why Satan loves this stuff? It's because once hooked into the world with beliefs like that, we're so easy...

Satan then uses those "keys", whether keeping them just out of our reach or doling them out like a drug dealer or whatever, to get people to do all sorts of things they say and believe they would never, ever do.

Salespeople, of which politicians are a subset, have a natural understanding of this truth at the level of instinct and wield this knowledge to their advantage, for good or for bad, often as easily as breathing.

And with that soundtrack playing in the background, we open the door to Election 2016 and in steps Ted Cruz.

Poor conservatives, long hungry, proud and abused, are now perfectly primed for their "Never say never" test that the these interesting times have prepared just for them.

Let the test begin:

Our Political Savior, "Made in Canada/Naturalized in America" Ted Cruz, is really a Natural Born American Citizen and eligible for POTUS!
Okay...now that the target is downrange...
"Ready on the Right! Ready on the Left? Ready on the Firing Line:

Commence JUSTIFICATION!

And justify they do!

"Did you know that "Made in Canada from Cuban and American parts" actually means: "100% American"?

Oh yeah, of course it does...what else would it mean? Duh?"

"And don't pay any attention to the refs throwing flags up and down the field for this blatant "Truth in labeling" violation.

They're just angry Trumpters having a tantrum....LOL!!!"

Falsify or justify, see how easily, even willingly, we fall?

This is US falling for literally the Oldest trick in the Book.

You cannot give ONE example of HOW that applies to TED CRUZ.
But NUMEROUS EXAMPLES AND LINKS can be given of tRUMP doing those things.
That's WHY your blood boiled with anger when you read it !
