As a general principle no conversations have involved more varied opinions than discussions about the supposed “conservative” media and their seeming cognitive dissonance when it comes to issues surrounding Senator Ted Cruz.
Some people think these voices were just hoodwinked by Cruz and now their ego won’t permit them to admit the falsehood. Others think the pundits are too close to the candidate to see the inherent issues and contradictions; some propose their punditry is connected to financial motives. Perhaps it’s a combination therein, but many people just can’t figure it out...
All of those aforementioned voices know this fact. Limbaugh, Levin, Beck and Loesch are not stupid, they know the construct of how this all came down.
You see, it takes an intentional action to ignore the truth of how Senator Ted Cruz created, supported, and advocated for Trade Promotion Authority. An advocate cannot claim a position fundamentally disconnected from reality without intentionally desiring to do so.
That’s why these pundit voices cannot be just merely making mistakes, flawed thinking, or errors in judgment. It’s not intellectual dishonesty at play here, it’s just flat out ordinary dishonesty.
Lying.

You see, it takes an intentional action to ignore the truth of how Senator Ted Cruz created, supported, and advocated for Trade Promotion Authority. An advocate cannot claim a position fundamentally disconnected from reality without intentionally desiring to do so.
This is the key point and the best insight into the deep dishonesty of Ted Cruz. Cruz says he has always been against Obamatrade yet he campaigned to enable it with TPA. Those actions do not match. Only a slick lawyer career politican would try that type of flim flam. TPA is where he lost me for good after being a supporter of his for many years.
All true.
I would not lump Limbaugh in with Beck. Levin, I would.
whatever the reasons, once trust is lost, it’s oh so hard to get back again.
Well... Loesch works for Beck so no surprise that she has thrown in with the TDS crowd.
why did Perot hate Bush Sr so much?...
and why does Trump hate Dubya so much?
why was the hate so strong that Perot got Clintoon elected?...
same goes for Trump...
either traditional pubs KNOW that Trump is a fake and is deliberately collapsing all other regular decent pubs JUST so he can personally hand the prez. to the witch...
OR....
he really is going against the billion dollar rat/pub establishment....
either way...we citizens are not involved...we are not needed as they battle out this end all wars battle...
we have not chosen these candidates and we will not elect them...
TPTB will decide for us....
all we really know is its about money and power...and power is money....and they all want it in some way...
This is the beginning of the end of “conservative” corporate talk radio. They heavyweights will never recover their credibility. The Dems must be ecstatic.
Limbaugh has always been for lopsided government managed cheap labor deals like Nafta and TPP. The proof they’ve sold out is they never mention the people who are pushing these trade deals and open borders and the real people who run the GOP show like GROVER NORQUIST, CESAR CONDA (who OWNS Rubio and Paul Ryan), Steven Moore.
Cruz flat out lied about the McConnell run-in....acted like he was lied to, that he misunderstood. Between the lies on trade & his vile stand with Blacklivesmatter & Moveon.org on the Friday night of the Chicago attack on Trump’s crowd he lost me, forever.
I know they are lying, I want to know why they are lying to us, well, some of us are former listeners so they aren’t lying to us anymore.....
Agree. Limbaugh has been agnostic on Trump.
Cruz is a rock-solid constitutional conservative who will restore America to greatness.
But for some reason, the pro-abortion supporter of Hillary, Reid and Schummer, and the guy whose economic illiteracy thinks Apple will produce iPhones in America is the favorite of many who call themselves conservatives. Trump is just another establishment dealmaker.
Even beyond TPA,I know Limbaugh is a liar and a sneaky one.
I know Limbaugh will scream bloody murder
He claimed that after the New York Times story him backing off the Gang of 8 which he even admitted he was there but the story was an attempt to destroy his career.
The rest I don't even care about anymore.
How is that Rush used the same talking points as beck a few hours later?
