THE DIRTY TRICKS CAMPAIGN=> Cruz Camp and Cronies Continue the Disgusting and Dishonest Antics
Gateway Pundit ^ | 02/16/16 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/16/2016 1:12:19 PM PST by Enlightened1

Last week nasty anti-Trump robocalls started running in South Carolina. Donald Trump accused the Cruz camp of being behind the calls.

Of course, Senator Cruz denied having anything to do with the ads.
But it was a lie.
And now there is proof that a Cruz PAC is behind the nasty anti-Trump and anti-Rubio robocalls.

The Washington Post reported:

Natalie Barrett, a 53-year-old schoolteacher from Westminster, got a robo-call earlier this month and ended up furious.

It started off simple enough, an automated man’s voice asking her age and gender, then quizzing her on which Republican candidates she liked. But when she selected Sen. Marco Rubio as one of her choices, she said, things got nasty.

“That’s when he said, ‘Did you know that Marco Rubio and the Gang of Eight are for amnesty?’” she recalled in a phone interview. “And then the gentleman said he’s for letting 11 million illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. and that he was for letting Syrians cross the borders freely.”

Barrett said she found the call — which continued to say negative things about Rubio before taking shots at Donald Trump for being a supporter of eminent domain — to be “negative” and “unfair,” but she couldn’t figure out right away who it was from. The voice said the poll was conducted by some place called Remington Research.

She told her Rubio-supporting friend about the call; her friend told the campaign. They said they knew exactly what Remington Research was: a consulting firm started by Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe.

“These tactics are becoming all too common in this race and indicative of our opponents’ campaigns that are willing to say or do anything to win an election,”

Really? After it your posted it the first time... why don't you acknowledge.. that this is just a smear from the Rubio campaign that you continue to spread.

UPDATE (3:24 p.m.): Responding to Gowdy's comments, Cruz spokesman Rick Tyler criticized the Rubio surrogate for "throwing around wild accusations without any evidence whatsoever," pointing specifically to the Facebook page, which he said the Cruz campaign had nothing to do with

"This is called a smear campaign, and it's beneath the dignity of a sitting member of the House of Representatives," Tyler said before asking, "does the Marco Rubio campaign really believe it's going to smear it's way to victory?"


This is a smear by Rubio's team against Cruz about a facebook page that was created by no telling who. For all we know, somebody from the Trump campaign could have done it.

Yeah, we don’t need any more of McCain apologizing for a radio host calling Obama “Hussein” and him telling his town halls Obama would make a good President.

We need hardcore robocalls saying Hillary is a secret Muslim lesbian communist.

There’s something/someone with deep pockets behind this all.

Curious, to find out who it ends up being.

The Cruz campaign already has a clear pattern of election sham, with ethics and morals only Goldman Sachs could admire. Who ya gunna to believe?

Ultimately, this all plays into Trump’s hands. When he challenges Cruz’s eligibility somewhere within the jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit... he now will have ample justification and few will blame him.

All Trump has to do then is file a suit that has enough merit to not get dismissed. During the court battle his team must present enough “evidence” that on appeal a couple liberal judges will have enough wiggle room to boot Cruz out of the race. The third more conservative judge will write a dissenting opinion. It will get appealed to the Supreme Court where it then will either be refused or be deadlocked... either way the decision of two liberal judges from the most liberal Federal Circuit in the country will now make the decision.

It is sad but true. Thank the Republican Senate for confirming 300 hand picked Obama judges and John Poindexter for luring Justice Scalia to his “ranch” with a free offer.

Yes it was Senator Cruz Pack, and attacks were not just limited to Trump. You OBVIOUSLY did not read the entire article. Here I will repost you the part where it mentions attacking Trump. Read it and weep. Cruz has been caught again.....

Barrett said she found the call — which continued to say negative things about Rubio before taking shots at Donald Trump for being a supporter of eminent domain — to be “negative” and “unfair,” but she couldn’t figure out right away who it was from. The voice said the poll was conducted by some place called Remington Research.

She told her Rubio-supporting friend about the call; her friend told the campaign. They said they knew exactly what Remington Research was: a consulting firm started by Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign manager, Jeff Roe.

“These tactics are becoming all too common in this race and indicative of our opponents’ campaigns that are willing to say or do anything to win an election,” Rich Beeson, Rubio’s deputy campaign manager, said. “This is nothing more than a deliberate effort to peddle false information in the hopes of deceiving voters.”

These are just typical political election tricks. The Libs have mastered most of them. Why do we complain when one of ours uses these tactics? I want a President that can go Toe-To-Toe with the Libs. The Libs according to our side do not fight fair. Well now we have an equally creative candidate!

Politics is like Hockey, until you knock out an opponent's tooth no one respects you in the game!

Former GOP Senator Blasts Pathological Liar Ted Cruz for Constantly Misleading Americans October 18, 2015 By Allen Clifton 22 Comments I’ve made no secret of my total disdain for Sen. Ted Cruz. He epitomizes everything that’s wrong with the Republican party. He is, without a doubt, one of the most dishonest people in Washington and, in my opinion, a complete sociopath.

All total lies. The D.C. cartel elites have blasted Cruz at every opportunity and have said they like Trump better because they can “deal” with him. Trump is the one who praised TARP in the media when it was done, Cruz opposed it. Cruz’ donors are pro-life conservative patriots willing to sacrifice their money to save America from the socialist, atheist, liberal Democrat regime.

Trump IS the 1% corrupt donor class. He is part of the corrupt D.C. cartel. Only Trump can be counted on to keep the corrupt money flowing through D.C. to keep the business as usual that has been very good for him going. And Trump will say and do ANYTHING to get elected. He’s flip-flopped on almost everything he’s ever said to make himself more palatable to GOP primary voters.

Cruz has nothing to do with his PACs. He can’t legally.

Thank’s for quoting more of those damning, true facts about Trump and Rubio. I pray Cruz’ PACs call everyone in the country to tell them the truth before it’s too late.

And Rubio and Trump are saints? Really?

If you watch Trump especially will attack somebody for whatever his weakness is.

Every time Cruz states a fact even a direct quote.... Trump won’t let him finish and calls it a lie.

I guarantee a Hillary win if Cruz is the nominee. And, don’t post your fake match up polls either. Cruz and Rubio can’t even beat Trump in the polls, yet they are supposed to win against Hillary? Is this Common core logic or what? SMH at the stupidity of the American people.
