Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)’s America’s Liberty Super PAC is out with a new ad attacking Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as a “Canadian” who supports President Obama on domestic surveillance extensions in the Patriot Act.
The extreme-style smackdown ad features Paul as the shirtless hero of a Sunday brawl in the Senate over the NSA and the right to privacy.
Featuring a picture of Cruz with Obama and the backdrop of a Canadian flag, the ad calls the Texas Senator a “capitulating Canadian” who is “backing Barack’s bill.”
Technically, the ad is not endorsed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)'s campaign, but the Super PAC is endorsed by Paul and led by former campaign strategist Jesse Benton, who married into the Paul family and worked for not only Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)’s Senate campaign but also Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign.
A spokesperson for Cruz’s campaign declined to comment on the ad, the latest hit on Cruz, who was once an ally of Rand Paul’s until they both began preparing for a 2016 run for president.
The friction between the two Senators has been growing, after Cruz criticized Paul on the campaign trail for voting against the USA Freedom Act — a bill that includes restrictions on the NSA’s ability to collect phone records in bulk, but failed to earn support from privacy advocates...

Yeah - it’s only been happening for a decade:

And five years ago:
And last year:
And this year - at Disney nonetheless:
So keep living in the dark if it serves you.
Amazing, they are claiming they can get a non citizen cheap for that career position than a US citizen when there are laws already on the books to prevent that, also it sounds like something the Clintons would do.
The whole meme of the women wage gap is primised upon the so called wage gap between men and women.
And now, we here propaganda that companies , if they play their cards right can get slave labor cheaper than US citizens.
Sounds more like illegal funny business is going on.
Like someone who is not reporting their taxes to the IRS, if they can hire a non-citizen cheaper than a US citizen.
Wow-Desperate much Paul campaign?
Except that this is not misinformation. Ted Cruz unequivocally supports TPA:
http://www.cruz.senate.gov/?id=2332&p=press_release
He also supports increasing the H1B visa cap (the OUTSOURCING Visa) by 500%
Why freepers are not questioning Cruz’s stance on these Obama-backed issues, rather than calling out those who point out his stance, is beyond me.
Interesting tho, a real double standard in my book...if Jeb had theses same positions—on Iran, the Patriot act and H-1B visas, I suspect many of these same posters they would be all over him.
I have not made up my mind for whom I will vote—still researching, and it really won’t matter as I don’t live in an early primary state—decision will be made long before I pull a lever.
However,I am very disappointed that anyone who questions is considered a troll and attacked. Seems it always gets this way around here during election season. :(

Not just survivors, also those with some common sense.
Well then, here
search bot data they can try to disclaim.
Why does Rand Paul support Obama’s agenda and policies towards Cuba ?
Rand Paul : Fidel Castro’s buddy.
They will claim, not true, why then did Rush Limbaugh talk with someone who called in on his show today and talked about this ?
That would be knee pads.
“I also support both the TPA and the raising the H1B cap BASED ON NEED as stated by Senator Cruz.”
Support the TPA? Well maybe you can inform us what is in the bill. Cruz can’t, although he voted for it.
Drudge highlighted what Disney was doing in Florida. Disney was forcing its American workers to train their Indian replacements who had a H-1B visa. Same thing happened with an utility company in California.
Who is your preferred canidate then ?
H-1b visas, is Legal immigration.
We are a nation of immigrants.
Illegal immigration is a far greater problem.
“Can you back that up with facts?’
That (#41 post) is what Senator Sessions said, and he read the bill. I would consider that a fact. We, of course, did not have access to the bill, since it was classified, so that is why we have to quote someone we trust. Do you trust Obama?
In my opinion, the Republicans and the Republican candidates for president are making a colossal mistake by not rising to stoutly defend the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, the document torpedoed by the Patriot Act. Either they stand up for the Constitution, or they should take a hike.
The Orwellian named Patriot Act was so repugnant that sunset provisions had to be attached. Americans don’t like being spied on by their government who view all citizens as suspects now. That was the intended upshot of the Patriot Act which, according to FBI, hasn’t resulted in even one terrorist captured. Fourteen years of the Act and not one. Americans are citizen not suspects! They don’t like all their private correspondences, internet activity, financial transactions, and every private thing monitored, scooped up and saved by Big Brother to use one way or the other.
“The FBI tripled its use of bulk collection under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which allows government agents to compel businesses to turn over records and documents, and increasingly scooped up records of Americans who had no ties to official terrorism investigations.”
A federal court panel ruled Section 215 of the Patriot Act illegal, and McConnell, and senate Republicans would vote to extend Section 215?
Meanwhile, Obama loves the Patriot Act. He’s in his glory spying on everyomne he doesn’t like and blackmailing them. That’s why he signed two extensions of it without any changes to it.
Seize the day, Republicans. Stand up for the Fourth Amendment and against Big Brother. Millions of voters will be repelled if you don’t.
I’m still undecided. Anyone who doesn’t support this H1B crap mainly, because it is decimating my industry. Yes - this one is a singlular issue for me.
Cruz, Rubio and Jeb have all come out in support of increasing the H1B cap, an act that requires either ignorance of how it’s being abused, or getting donations from the abusers.
Some candidates have yet to clarify their position on it. Rand Paul has not taken a stance on it at all. I know Fiorina supports it, because she made use of it while she ran HP into the ditch.
It’s a shame Cruz has taken the wrong side because I really like him on most else.
And you need to read some those articles I posted. Legal immigration is a problem if it’s abused and used to artificially lower the cost of labor - which is precisely what’s being done with these visas.

Why I can’t support Ted:
http://www.cruz.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=137
If he would reverse that position, or clarify how he intends to stop the outright abuse while increasing the cap, he probably has my vote.
“It’s legislation to rein in the out of control powers of a president that is out of control”
Obama was very much in control of this bill, and was overjoyed the Senate passed it. Are you saying that Obama wanted his power curtailed and was overjoyed when his power was in fact curtailed?
“propaganda of those with a agenda.”
Incidentally, my agenda is the same as most of the people on this site, which is help make sure that the United States remains the bastion of freedom and liberty it has always been and to elect someone who thinks the same way.
“We are a nation of immigrants”
Congratulations. You have drunk the democrat Kool Aid. I’m too tired to run down the stats, but as Ann Coulter stated, we are a nation of settlers. Every nation, every nation on earth is peopled by migrants who moved in. Even if that were truth, there is no imperative for us to give our country away.
Ted Cruz has explained his stance on TPA. It’s easy to find. Every once in awhile you’re going to be on the same side as a president of an opposing party, that’s how the government works. And I love how you call H1-B the OUTSOURCING visa instead of the “helping US industry build things” visa. Even in Texas we can’t always find all the technical workers we need locally. Are you an American Indian (aka Native American) or did your family come here from somewhere else?
If you can’t find IT workers locally- even in Texas?, WTH do you need to recruit form India when we have unemployed citizens with families, unemployed newly graduated students with debt up to their eyeballs, etc.? How about recruiting some of those American Citizens....
“Are you an American Indian (aka Native American) or did your family come here from somewhere else?” Really? That is the argument for throwing open the floodgate for immigrants? Oh, and yes my family came here from somewhere (actually on the Mayflower), but throughout the years immigration has fluctuated depending on the needs of the country, not Google or Facebook. I feel my ancestors came and took risks and sacrificed for this country...so yeah, I think American citizens should have first dibs—and they are not getting it when Disney and Edison are making their IT people train foreign workers to replace them...
Seriously, given the country’s abysmal growth numbers revised down for first quarter, published this morning, do we really need to be importing workers to take available jobs??
It is obvious that Barry wants to flood America with foreigners—both legal and illegal to transform the country—its voting block it’s culture, etc.. So is it really wise to simply dismiss as “every once in a while you’re going to be on the same side as a president of opposing party, that’s how government works.” Geez theses days the GOPe are voting with Obama at every turn...and unfortunately, all too often that includes Ted Cruz.
BTW, did you know that the H-1B visa program can (and, therefore, likely will) expand to other occupations....more foreign workers coming here filling non-IT jobs...I don’t see how that helps “build things”...A new executive order was just signed this week to bump spouses of H-1B visa workers to the head of the line for jobs..no mention made of limiting them to IT jobs. No mention of shortages, just doing it because he can.
Oh, and I am not a Paulestian or a troll (been here longer than most), but I call em like I see em, and I don’t like Cruz’s stand on several issues.
He may be the nominee, and I will vote for him if he is, but I can’t make excuses some of his positions.
