Will the latest news about Ted Cruz hurt his chances for the 2016 GOP nomination? Click to learn the betting odds for the junior Texas senator and other contenders for the Oval Office.

When Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was a teenager, he was caught doing teenage things, as revealed in documents obtained by BuzzFeed.

In his application to become Texas solicitor general, Cruz was required to list any prior convictions. That included one "guilty plea for minor in possession of alcohol."

Apparently when Cruz was a high school senior in 1987, authorities found an unopened case of beer in his vehicle. They gave him a ticket....

Well, you know what they say, “boys will be boys”, right?

Been waiting for the lib/socialists' long knives to come out against Cruz. What a bunch of pathetic nonsense. Sheesh, a teenager had beer?

If they really want to go there on Cruz, I say we bring up Clinton's and Obambi's crap, and every other foible that the dims have. What's good for the goose...

Tell that to the speaker of the house and the coke head in the white hut.

Has he eaten a dog in his past?

I think safe to say Freepers we have something in our background least ole young Ted as young buck know how to party

[stephenjohnbanker]

and when he was 10, he kissed a girl, and made her cry......

[jsanders2001]

But he’s got NOTHING compared to The One....not even remotely close. And we’d probably know a lot more if ll the people from his past would just stop dying.../s not

Apparently the Houston Chronicle has found it necessary to tell us that Ted Cruz was not raised as a Southern Baptist.

Okay, but if I find out he ate too much pie at the Church social, or pulled a girl's pig-tails in class he's offin' my list.

If Cruz looks viable as a Candidate then anything like those examples that is found will be constantly screamed from the headlines with much high indignation from the News anchors and Pundits and then the voters, while not crediting any of the "charges," even laughing at them, will absorb the atmosphere and will refrain from voting for him because they will feel there is something wrong about him.

Documents reveal that Bill Clinton smoked marijuana as a youth ... but he didn't inhale (wink,wink) ...

A regular juvenile delinquent, he is!

The media will ignore any proof that Reggie Love's pole vault bucket is located in Obama. OTOH, nevermind. Proof of that would likely get Obama a third term with this electorate.

This will have Vince Foster rolling in his grave.

Oooooh... A teenage boy in Texas has some beer. That has never happened in the history of the country! Cruz is obviously a dangerous sociopath to have done such a thing - clearly unfit for public office! [/sarcasm]
