I was all in for Cruz but after hearing that he drank beer I’m going to have to vote for Democrats now said no one ever.

[QT3.14]

In comparison, Al Sharpton was given a pass on Tawana Brawley when he ran for prez.

If it wasn't for double-standards, the Left would have no standards.

[Fiji Hill]

It’s Texas, gotta be Lone Star.

Pedernales is better.

[Baynative]

This is a problem for the baby killers who elected a doper ...I don’t get it!

[SamAdams76]

I was made to dump beer too!

I was 17 years old and working in a supermarket. After work, one of my co-workers scored some beer and four of us sat in my father's car after work in the parking lot, listening to some Zeppelin and knocking back some suds.

Suddenly we see high beam flashlights shining through the window and a cop tells us to get out of the car. We sheepishly exited the car and the officer checked our IDs and looked us over. He took note of my address. He then had us dump the rest of our beer out into the street and told me that the party was over and to take my friends home and that he'd better not see us for the rest of the night. He even said he was going to drive by my house later to make sure my car was parked outside.

It's probably incredible for anybody under 40 to believe this, but there was actually a time in America when cops did not automatically haul you into jail for every little thing. Especially if you were a clean cut kid who was just out for a little fun. If you were polite to the police officers and showed some respect, they would usually cut you a break and send you on your way

[PROCON]

OK, that's it, I can't vote for a man who leads a life of crime.

I've never done anything wrong my entire life and expect my elected officials to follow my pure ways.

I guess I'm all in for Hillary, she's squeaky clean and a true American patriot.

[Chode]

and still the faggot cokehead in the white hut gets a pass...

[StAntKnee]

“The revelation was discovered in an application, obtained by BuzzFeed, which Cruz completed for the position of Texas solicitor general back in 2003.”
___________________________________________

If I read that right, this wasn’t a juvie record but of a public adult record, an application which Cruz filled out and admitted the indiscretion.

[capydick]

Here we go - expect more of this on all the candidates - well, the Republican candidates, RAT candidates are perfect.

[matt1234]

I approve this message.

[stanne]

This is not a problem for them. Ted Cruz is the problem for them

When people decide they don’t care about the left not liking their candidate, that is when it won’t matter

The left still hates Reagan and wheeled out that awful jimmy carter, just today, yet, for his ‘thoughts’ on Islamic behavior

Forty years from now the left will be propping up Chelsea Clinton for her ‘views’ and theyll blow off former pres Cruz who saved us from certain doom because everyone knows...well, you know the drill

‘After graduating from Princeton, Cruz attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995 with a Juris Doctor degree.[6][38] While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[5] Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant.”[18][39] At Harvard Law, Cruz was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics.[40]’

[piasa]

An unopened case of beer?

Looks like the libs are going to have to forge a scandal again if this is the best they can do.

[richmwill]

Wow. I had two speeding tickets in my younger days, I guess that would be their “big revelation” about me lol.

[Personal Responsibility]

So what? Our current President has admitted to smoking weed and doing coke.

[haircutter]

His Rivals should be nervous...

He will be a strong candidate, he speaks well, looks Presidential, and doesn't back down..

I always thought the records of Minors were keep secret? If the MSM can find and see the records of Ted Cruz, then I want the records of the dead Michael Brown made available for all to see, especially those stupid protesters.

The MSM needs to refresh their memories on Ted and Bob and Jack Kennedy. And lets not forget the background of Bill ‘zipper boy’ Clinton...the list of those connected to the Clinton's that died suddenly and mysteriously needs to be hitting the Internet, so we can remind Hillary...

Personally Ted Cruz will be my choice for POTUS come 2016. And if Free Republic wants to treat him like they did Mitt Romney, then I will quietly leave.
I really like Mitt Romney and supported him, was so disappointed when he was treated so nasty by FR. I will not support him this time, as there are too many good choices that are mentioned but not yet declared.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Seriously? The “progressive”, commie lib fags are going back to 1987 to smear Ted Cruz? ROTFL! Those people are truly braindead. Probably too many “recreational” drugs.

[redlegplanner]

exactly.

In heaven there is no beer.
That’s why we drink it here (Right Here!)
When we’re gone from here,
all our friends will be drinking all our beer!

[driftless2]

Next he’ll be found to have chewed gum in class without offering any to his classmates. Also probably went through a stop sign while riding his bike to school. Oh, they’re really digging up damaging goods on Cruz. (snicker)

[PA Engineer]

Already, the media has vetted Ted Cruz more than Obama.

Excellent point.

[cva66snipe]

I kept two 5 gallon jugs in my bedroom. One jug with the juice, sugar, and yeast. It had a cork with a tube out of the top running into another jug filled with water. Mighty fine wine :>}
