Shows that all you know about Cruz or Edwards is the talking points you like to hear.

We're talking about someones ethics across the board and just like Carlo Gambino was only married once and didn't run around on his wife isn't proof he was a wonderful person across the board. What Cruz does or doesn't do with regard to his wife and other women could easily have less to do with his integrity than with his understanding his target audience.

Rumors and tales about chasing skirt help a democrat with the democrat target audience and turn off the republican target audience. Curz is marketing himself to a different audience therefore some things are less of an indication of his overall ethics than they would be were he not making a career of marketing himself.

I don't have any use for people who aren't faithful to their spouse but I've also been around the block enough times to know there are people who are faithful to their spouse only as a means to an end. Rich old bastards die every day leaving a large or small fortune to faithful young things, for example.

So, if he's faithful that doesn't count because he stayed married and faithful as a political move. And if Trump has gone through a series of wives, that's okay because he will be faithful to the last one, but if Edwards was unfaithful that's bad, and if Newt had more than one wife that nixed him from consideration?

You guys have such cognitive dissonance the Kool-Aid just can't be the problem. More like crack.

Want to talk about across the board ethics?

Let's have a taste from that well, shall we?

Trump traded every motorist in the US and any user of small engines down the river (10% less fuel mileage, fuel system and engine destruction for small and marine engines) AND as a bonus said he'd keep the EPA to enforce that (only the most anti-industry agency in the Federal Government), all to curry favor with Iowa's Governor and the ethanol lobby after they had a cartwheeling sh*tfit because Cruz said he'd get rid of the mandate.

How he is going to keep the EPA and "Make America Great again" is beyond me. That Agency has done all it can to kill off the domestic energy industry and has virtually succeeded with coal and coal fired power plants. (Without energy, how are you going to power or fuel the economic recovery. Factories don't run on fairy dust.)

Those are the people who think your exhaled breath contains a pollutant (CO2) and have usurped the power to regulate that.

They have also deemed they have the power to regulate 'intermittent wetlands' (aka: "mud puddles"), so don't let your kid splash in them or fill in the one in the driveway, or they'll take your property. They are a rogue agency which has polluted rivers and attempted to change the borders of a State.

Trump said he would keep the agency, not abolish it, otherwise he couldn't use them to fully enforce the ethanol mandate.

Now, your 'faithful deal maker' did that 'deal' for Iowa.

Not California, not Florida, not New York or Ohio, but Iowa (the support of the Governor whose son is an Ethanol Industry lobbyist--ain't that a touch of bid'ness as usual).

He made a "deal".

He has a tremendous number of our assets and rights he can trade elsewhere to make a 'deal' and you fools are getting sold down the river and don't even hear the splash of the paddle wheel. If you did, you'd shout it out.
