Cruz hates New York values — but likes New York money
The Hill ^ | 01/15/16 | Jonathan Swan

Posted on 04/07/2016 9:13:53 AM PDT by xzins

Cruz’s presidential campaign has raised at least $470,851 from New York donors in the first three quarters of fundraising this primary season, making the state his fourth most lucrative in the U.S., according to the nonpartisan campaign finance group the Center for Responsive Politics.

Not only that, but Cruz’s second-largest super-PAC contribution — a check for $11 million — came from financier Robert Mercer, whose hedge fund Renaissance Technologies is headquartered in East Setauket, N.Y.

Cruz’s New York-based presidential campaign donors include executives at Wall Street firms, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Citigroup and, among others, the hedge fund Paulson & Co., founded by billionaire John Paulson. ...

Cruz sends me multiple emails every single day begging for money.

And it’s EXACTLY the same format used by TV preachers and Televangelists.

Seriously

I think Ted knows he is being used like $2 whore.
The GOPe will throw him in the gutter while they try to pick some loser that will surely be beaten by Hitlery and Rat mob.

The GOPe has already thrown TWO major elections. They do not care. They will throw a third to keep their little DC empires going.

Truly like what I thought Cruz was,
until he voted to allow a vote on ObamaTRADE
even after admitting it was SECRET,
and then looking under the “hood”, we see
Goldman Sachs, bribery payoffs, dirty tricks,
judge costumes, false accusations, .....

Just like all the candidates will hate California “values.” But they’ll sure as hell take their west coast money.

What are New York Values?

New York State workers banned from non-essential visits to Mississippi because of anti-LGBT law

New York likes cross-dressing males being able to use the women and little girl's restrooms.

I’ll have to have a talk with him as his is slated to do 20 an hour, so he is slacking on the job.

I’m a free lancer.

I think it’s only about the 4th or 5th. My computer’s slow, because I’m doing a full virus scan, so it’s hard to get anything posted.

I just distrust Cruz that much.

Nor does it ask “What kind of money?”

The green kind.

In June, Ted Cruz promised on NPR that opposition to gay marriage would be “front and center” in his 2016 campaign.

In July, he said the Supreme Court’s decision allowing same-sex marriage was the “very definition of tyranny” and urged states to ignore the ruling.

But in December, behind closed doors at a big-dollar Manhattan fundraiser, the quickly ascending presidential candidate assured a Republican gay-rights supporter that a Cruz administration would not make fighting same-sex marriage a top priority.

Well remember now it was a Texas case that the face of Jesus ignored that his friends the Supremes used to make same sex marriage the law of the land... How about Cruz, slipping into NYC to collect his pay off from his gay billionaire friends... On the way to Iowa to fleece those Evangelicals of the votes... Yeah, boy let us talk about Texas values in contrast to NY values.... Have you all already forgotten L B J?

Well if you get tired of posting and reposting this Cruz v. New York garbage, you could always go back to the “Cuban Mistress Crisis” crap or even the newest made up lies about the DC Madam.

All that money didn’t originate in New York so stop referring to it as New York money.

I've been trying to figure out whether these are Trump trolls or DNC trolls.

Remember Rush's plan to infiltrate the democrat primary to help select the weaker opponent a few years back?
Since Trump does much better in open primaries than in closed primaries; I wonder if there is a similar plan afoot from the democrat side?

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy gave us same-sex marriage, not Ted Cruz.

Ted Cruz has successfully defended mine & your 1st and 2nd Amendment rights before the Supreme Court.

Thank You Ted!
