Cruz's polarizing endorsements may be doing more harm than good
Fox News Latino ^ | February 8, 2016 | Based on reporting by the Associated Press

PETERBOROUGH, N.H. - As the campaign shifted this week to New Hampshire, which hosts the nation's second primary contest on Tuesday, Sen. Ted Cruz continued to promote the endorsements of high-profile figures from his party's far-right fringe.

But while polarizing endorsements may be popular among the passionate conservatives who usually decide primary contests, they could turn off the swing voters and independents who typically decide general elections.

One of Cruz's backers is his national co-chairman Iowa Rep. Steve King, a leading voice on immigration who has compared those who cross the border illegally to drug mules and livestock...

Perhaps endorsements from Chris Matthews and Piers Morgan would make FOX Snooze feel a bit more comfortable.

Every conservative is “polarizing” to the media.

That is, unless they are “controversial.”

Right, so you’re posting HuffPo articles and now Fox News Latino (which I suppose is geared towards the millions of illegal Hispanics in our country). I share King’s sentiments on illegal immigration and such endorsements will be a net positive on the issue. Perhaps you should check the DNC for further anti-Cruz screeds.

I am a Trump supporter, but Steve King is a good man with great integrity. The GOPe hates him because he opposes them on the immigration issue.

When Huffington Post isn’t *quite* far enough left for you, you can always turn to Fox News Latino for your daily Cruz slander.

This is kinda silly. The worry should be about bad legislation Ted is putting through without notice.

Ted Cruz’s Federal Education “Choice” Kills the American Dream

[snip]By Dangling Title I Money to ALL Parents, Sen. Ted Cruz Accelerates Federal Control Over All Private, Religious, and Homeschools, and Blankets Common Core Equitably to ALL Schools in America With His Proposed Bill, S 306.

On Oct. 26, 2015, The Blaze quoted Sen. Ted Cruz as saying, “School Choice Is Today’s ‘Civil Rights’ Issue.” But before you get excited about this, ask Sen. Ted Cruz what he means when he uses the term “choice.....If I had not read the sponsors of this bill I would think this legislation came right out of President Obama’s Equity Plan called For Each and Every Child: A STRATEGY FOR EDUCATION EQUITY AND EXCELLENCE.

OR some of the smarmy people he hires

Sen. Cruz hires some questionable people...this is the guy who pulled the Carson is quitting scam, and he’s done it before.

Jeff Roe Linked Once Again To Political Lies
http://www.yeoldejournalist.com/23653-2/

[snip]It’s true that Missourians play dirty politics, perhaps none more so than Jeff Roe, the guy behind the House of Cards ad. Known as the “Karl Rove of Missouri,” he got his start in politics in 1994, according to Mother Jones, and helmed successful campaigns for Missouri Republican Congressman Sam Graves. Opponents have described Graves’s campaign staff as “evil”; other phrases used to describe Roes’s campaigns include “intimidating” and “very, very bad.” It’s also worth noting that while Missourians are trying to figure out what to do about Roe, he’s taking his hardball talents to the big leagues. Late last year, Ted Cruz, the Republican senator who no one really likes, announced Roe would be heading up his presidential campaign.

OR some of the slimes (open border Chamber of Commmerce associatess) his pacs finance him with.

And this is how they do it....Special interest groups, pacs like pay off the talking heads of radio. This is nothing new. GW BUSH paid off several to push his policies and it came out of YOUR tax $$...like Armstrong Williams, who now works for Ben Carson.

Headline: Who’s funding this pro-Ted Cruz super PAC?
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/06/politics/ted-cruz-super-pac/index.html

[snip] Stand for Truth, Inc., an emerging player in the orbit of often clashing constellation of pro-Cruz super PACs, recently pledged to air more than $4 million in television ads to back Cruz in Iowa and South Carolina. Super PACs can accept unlimited contributions but are required to disclose their financial backers.

Ok, the guy running this outfit is Eric Lycan, LAWYER is all wound up with the US Chamber of Commerce. I do find it MOST interesting that many of Cruz’s supporters/funders are open border, free traitors (TPP). Their filing also shows they spent $42,000 to create digital advertising for Ted Cruz, and...
.....wait for it...
..... spent $192,594.00 for “RADIO ADVERTISING”.
It makes a person wonder which radio broadcasters might have picked up some of that Pro-Ted Cruz advertising money?

Everyone: Do not fail to read the source article in full.

I thought Trump supporters had seen that attacking Cruz from the left was not very smart. Guess not.

FOX was co-opted by the Obama administration, an event described in the book by David Axlerod, in an obscure little paragraph.

FOX noticeably switched its conservative opposition to the open borders crowd, by supporting Establishment Republicans, Reince Priebus and the Cheap Labor Express influence.

This is EXACTLY why the FOX pundits push ABT, anybody but TRUMP.

Let me go out on a limb and say that Cruz can fit their narrative and FOX will make Cruz their OCTOBER SURPRISE, 2016.

Why?

Because Cruz is the legalese legend, who has yet to say that he holds TRUMP’s coat tail on deportation of ALL Illegal Invaders, who are not “caught”, by the hundreds of thousands.

Cruz wants EVerify to do it for him by putting it up for a vote on Capital Hill, where he already KNOWS it will FAIL.

TRUMP will simply enforce CURRENT law, without the hanky panky that rules congressional “debate”.

These Capital Hill boys are already bought out and in favor of AMNESTY.

Cruz knows this. FOX will see it. FOX will back Cruz, if they must. Easy.

I see no one on that list they compiled backing Cruz who I regard as anyone but honorable, moral individuals speaking the truth.

Is this the best they can produce against Ted?

And Fergus Cullen who was bad-mouthing Cruz is a raving illegal amnesty supporter of the highest caliber, outdistancing Rubio in every way.

Obama was endorsed by the Communist USA party, the Castros from Cuba, Chavez from Venezuela, etc.

Cruz’s endorsements are polarizing?!

By the time he wins the primaries he will be picking up endorsements from folks currently endorsing others. Dumb article.
