South Carolina Anti-Cruz Group Pours $1.5 Million Into Ad Blitz
Youtube & Vote It! Election 2016 ^ | Feb 10, 2016

Posted on 02/11/2016 12:12:45 PM PST by Red Steel

The conservative group American Future Fund will begin airing a TV commercial in South Carolina that labels Republican presidential hopeful Ted Cruz as "weak" on national security, an especially damaging claim in the military-heavy state. The ad likens Cruz to Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders and President Barack Obama. According to the ad, "Ted Cruz talks tough on national security. But look at his record. Cruz voted with Bernie Sanders against defense spending," and the ad also claims "Cruz sided with Obama to weaken our ability to track terrorists." The Anti-Cruz group - run by GOP bigwig Nick Ryan, is spending $1.5 million to air the commercial, and previously spent heavily campaigning against the Texas Senator in Iowa.

That dangerous commercial that Cruz put out showing boys playing with dolls is so typical of Cruz. He goes to gay parties and now wants to confuse kids with their God given roles. Why does Cruz want little boys playing with dolls? He doesn’t seem conservative to me.

People are so mad at the beltway in general and the GOPe in particular, that any add against Cruz may, at this point, only help him. . especially when they find out it's related to a pro-Ethanol crony-capitalist group from Iowa.

This is NOT a group from South Carolina...
This is a group from Iowa who has ties to the Iowa Governor.

This group is the remnants of the Romney for President campaign of 2012. Big time liberals beholden to the ethanol subsidy.

Of course, I bet they LOVE Trump given his kissing of the ethanol subsidy rear... just like any good liberal would.

Military Industrial Complex PAC. Why are the people of SC so favorable towards warmongers who wave the flag? Hopefully they can rise above it this time, as well as Cruz’ Elmer Gantry act.

I will be going to see the good Senator this weekend in Aiken.

According to the email I got...

Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck will be in Aiken on Monday, February 15th at The Etherredge Center (471 University Pkwy, Aiken, SC 29801) on the campus at USC Aiken. Tickets are FREE...

Cruz and Beck teaming up again. Beck makes my skin crawl.

The American Future Fund is an Iowa-based 501(c)(4) tax-exempt organization affiliated with the Center to Protect Patient Rights.

American Future Fund was founded by individuals who worked for Mitt Romney’s 2008 bid for the Republican U.S. Presidential nomination. Nick Ryan, an adviser to Republican US Representative Jim Nussle, founded the organization in 2007, with Nicole Schlinger, a GOP leader in Iowa, as its president. Its current president is Iowa Republican state Sen. Sandra Greiner.

Are we having fun yet?

I’m not for Cruz, but I still think it sucks...throw a rock and hide your hand.

that’s what they are. weasels.

in the context of things, trump and cruz supporters are saying much worse things to each other than Cruz and Trump are saying :)

If trump wins and cruz is in the senate, i’m sure they’ll get on fine.

My brother has lived in Charleston for 40 years. Despises Bush and says all the people he’s ran into are voting for Trump.
