Anti-Cruz group launches $1.5 million ad blitz in South Carolina
POLUTICO ^ | February 10, 2016 | ALEX ISENSTADT

Ted Cruz's critics are wasting no time hitting him in South Carolina.

American Future Fund, a conservative group that spent heavily against Cruz in Iowa, will begin airing a TV commercial in South Carolina that labels Cruz as "weak" on national security -- a damaging label in military-heavy South Carolina. The spot ties Cruz to Bernie Sanders, the liberal insurgent who's gaining momentum in the Democratic primary, and President Barack Obama. "Ted Cruz talks tough on national security. But look at his record. Cruz voted with Bernie Sanders against defense spending," the ad says. "Cruz sided with Obama to weaken our ability to track terrorists."

The commercial also attempts to paint Cruz as soft on undocumented immigrants, an issue where he has painted himself as the GOP field's strongest candidate of border security -- as well as its strongest opponent of "amnesty" for people who entered the country illegally. The issue is a high priority for GOP voters, particularly in conservative South Carolina.

Whereas, Cruz stood for many hours on the Senate floor, filibustering Obozocare...the ONLY Pub Senator to launch that fight!
(For the record, Rubio and Paul helped him out for a stint or two...)

Trump gave OReilly 1,000,000 for track chairs every penny of that goes to the cause!!! He also gave to the charity that houses the families in DC while the soldiers are in Walter Reed can’t remember the name of the organization!!!

Cruz was never for partial birth abortion. Cruz was never for abortion. Cruz can say with 100% accuracy that he never donated to Planned Parenthood.

I'll move my self righteous hypocrisy back into the sunlight now.

You can't deny the truth of the article, but try to impugn the post. That is typical of Teddy Bares. But, facts are facts, no matter who presents them. Cruz has been AWOL from his duties as a Senator. He is just another lying first-term power-hungry lawyer like his mentor, Obama!

You know, I was really hoping that the Trumpster, with all his $$$, would actually prove that Obozo was a Kenyan, fake BC, foreign student visa, never went to Hahvahd charlatan....
Wha happened? Still waiting...not enough money?

Didn’t know of any associations like you put out, but after hearing what the PAC had put out, my first thought was that it was Rubio support. Same fast and loose with facts and the truth.

I was also reading today about a big super PAC established to take down TRUMP. A guy from the Wall Street Journal was crowing about it. He was saying that it does not support any candidate, that it’s only purpose is to destroy TRUMP. South Carolina is going to be a horror show. I hope the TRUMPSTERS and CRUZERS don’t kill each other off and a GLOBALIST GOPer gets the nomination. What a nightmare!

Just trying to match my personal level of venom to the level of venom in the message that I’m replying to. Better this than trying to escalate it; that just leaves everyone really mad instead of mostly mad.
