Cruz Flies to Romney's Defense in Spat With Trump Over Mormonism
Newsmax ^ | March 19, 2016

Posted on 03/20/2016 4:44:12 AM PDT by kevcol

Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz, campaigning in Utah, called Donald Trump's attacks on Mitt Romney Mormon affiliation "sad" and "disgraceful.''

"It was sad yesterday to see Donald Trump stand up in Utah and call into question Mitt Romney's faith," the Texas senator told reporters on Saturday after a rally in Draper ahead of the state's Republican nominating contest on March 22.

Trump asked a crowd if Mitt Romney was really a Mormon.
So by his own words he was either ignorant or questioning Romney’s faith.
Stupid or mean, take your pick.
Just the facts, Mam, just the facts.

This is another “dirty trick” and “campaign lie”
by the endless liar, known as Sen. Goldman Cruz (Canada).

Rat Romney always takes the DNC/Soros side and lies to his voters. THAT is a fact.

Romney - the Magic RINO:
"I'm not running as the Republican view
or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.

(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)

The very last thing a Mor_on can do is accuse another of racism. They were institutional racists until 1978 when God changed his mind, according to their “Prophet”.

The only people blaming you will be the Left. The rest of us will be laughing at you.

Trump didn’t attack Romney on Mormon religion he attacked him on Mormon culture. Mormons win at life - objective truth. Romney lost to a Kenyan with a bike helmet. The joke is obvious.

Ted would be in a different position had he not taken the South for granted. Donald didn’t and he won Teds natural constituency

If it’s fair to question Romney’s Mormonism then is it also fair to question Trump’s Presbyterianism?

Rather ironic that a Mormon would bring up race

Fine, you have the talking points, but does Trump asking a crowd if a major Mormon figure like Mitt Romney is really a Mormon not constitute questioning the man’s faith?
Forget the hate and lies about Ted Cruz that ooze from the Trump compost heap, Ted Cruz is first and foremost a constitutional conservative who takes the Bill of Rights very seriously and to have a potential president mock the importance of the 1st Amendment with impudent derision alarms us all.
Granted, Trump is no conservative but at least he should be consistent in his pretending to be one.

Ironic that those who said even worse about Romney (and Mormonism) will jump to his side because Cruz has (what kind of deals is Cruz making anyway .. what is being promised for a shot if he manages a contested convention???) decided to protect his latest benefactor????

Cruz is an anointed messiah IN A SICK CULT THAT THINKS THEY NEED TO BE IN POWER BEFORE CHRIST CAN COME BACK......the “seven mountain" dominionist theories are kookier than the mass suicide Jonestown cult in Guyana.

I wish you people who hate Cruz with a such a burning passion would stop being disingenuous, bordering on outright lying about seven mountain" dominionist...

First of all it's not a cult in any shape or form by any definition...per Dr. Walter Martin

Secondly, this whole dishonest narrative is based on one preacher making those comments after Cruz father preached at a church...

There is no evidence Cruz is has extreme Dominionist beliefs call for religion in every aspect of government.

From their website:
The 7 mountains initiative is not an initiative to establish dominion over all the earth or in governments. It is an initiative that seeks to love and serve all people on the earth. As followers of Christ, we believe we are called to love all people, regardless of faith, lifestyle or gender orientation. God loves all people. He provides guidelines for living as found in the Holy Scriptures and we support those guidelines as a people called to love and obey His calling upon our lives. Jesus invites all people into this destiny, but not all will come. We are called to model what Christ taught when He prayed that what was in heaven would be manifested on earth through a people known for their love of one another and others. That means His love and grace would be extended to all people.

No, I am not a Dominionist, but really dislike the lying and disingenuousness demonizing people of faith from people like yourself who SHOULD know better...promoting a agenda

“Another irony is that Cruz’s supporters here question Trump’s faith ad infinitum.”

Indeed and they are attributing religious fanaticism to Trump supporters, and here is Cruz accepting all these religious proclamations.

And here on FR Cruz supporters know for a fact, what kind of Christian Trump is and whether or not he reads the Bible.

I would think that Mormons would find Glenn Beck’s pronouncement that Cruz is the “fulfillment of Mormon prophecy” to be offensive.
___________________________________________

Not if the Mormons have already done to Cruz what they did to Obama and made him a bona fided Mormon...

In June 2008 the mormons “dead dunked” (baptism for the dead) Stanley Ann Dunham , the long dead atheist mother of Barak Obama into Mormonism, married her to her already married boyfriend Obama Sr, gave her all kinds of Mormon “endowments” and high honors and “sealed her to her 2 living children thus making them Mormons with all those Mormon goodies too...

and low and behold according to their religion, we now have a Mormon in the White House...

By now the same has been done to Ted Cruz to make him palatable and acceptable to the Mormons...one of his Christian ancestors has been dead dunked into Mormonism and sealed to Ted making him a Mormon ready to take his place as president for life and savior of the United States and the Constitution...

How important is the ceremony of baptism for the dead to make them Mormons to the cult members ???

teenagers usually do it as an outing on Saturdays they go to a mormon temple and spend all day being dunked “in the name of” and then the dead person for whom unbeknownst to the prior Christian the ghastly blasphemous is performed for is added to the rolls thus padding the Mormon membership and satisfying the minds and hearts of the cultists who think they have saved the soul of the person from the Mormon H...

William Mitt Romney himself as a teenager did do this same thing...

Every Mormon can access the web pages that list those who have had this after death “religious experience”

I found my own ancestors and discovered I as one of the descendants living at the time had been “sealed” to them thus making me a full Mormon also...then Obama was elected and too many people read of his mother the newly minted Mormon and the Mormon president and so the pages were closed to all non-Mormons...

If you know someone, they can look up the people that have been dead dunked..for me it was sad and disgusting to find the names of my family ...

The Mormons were told to undo the creremony for Obama and his mother but unfortunately there is no undoing in the Mormon religio0us literature once dead dunked the dead person and his/her family are stuck with the pagan doings...

Flame away this is what the Mormons believe not me...

Ive just known of much of this since 1968...

The Mormon jesus started out as just a very good man and became a god...

My LORD Jesus Christ was always God...

The Snake can apply to Mormonism just as easily...

Let’s face it—your guy Cruz is floundering and glomming onto anyone whom he thinks will help his sinking campaign. Today, it’s Mitt. Yesterday, it was Moveon.org.

‘Trump attacked Willard(a rat) Romney, not Mormons.’

Right. Cruz might win this one battle. But to kiss the Establishment ring? He’s poisoning his career.
