It’s not just a “Trump mantra” that Ted Cruz lies. You aren’t reading the thread. There are thousands of words describing people’s reactions to the Cruz campaign that have nothing to do with Trump. That pre-date Trump commenting on them.
If Donald Trump weren’t even in this race, and Cruz had still hired Jeff Roe and played things this way, there would be many people saying the same things they are now.
Just because Cruz has a lot of people in Congress who don’t like him, doesn’t make him an honest person. I really wish that Cruz people would realize that. He can irritate all of his colleagues and still be one of them who they just all don’t like.
I don’t say Ted Cruz is a liar who treats voters like gullible commodities because of anything Donald Trump did, or because I favor some other candidate, or I love the GOPe, or anything like that.
I say those things about Ted because I have two eyes, and at some point, I can’t deny the obvious.
FreeRepublic is actually a conservative BLOG forum.
You, like most Trump supporters, automatically assume that anyone questioning Trump's Alinsky politics are Cruz supporters. Why would that be? Is that because the only Christian or Conservatives left on FreeRepublic are Cruz supporters?
As for reading 300+ posts of vitriol towards Cruz on this thread, no thanks. I know of about four consistent ethics charges against Cruz, but most have been thoroughly and completely debunked.
There's no perfect candidate out there. Trump? Give me a break. He's a casino shyster first class. He'd better be a fighter, because the Democrat party will bring up every mob connected deal, every widow he tossed on the street, union graft and pay offs he participated in, the whole ball of wax. Trump is the biggest lie in the campaign.
Bush, Rubio, Kasich, even Carson (who I respect more than any of them), they all have "problems". There was just an article out there about Rubio by an INS ICE agent which is thoroughly damning, but then again, the guy is a Border Patrol Union guy - can we believe him?
So, why toss everything conservative in slavish devotion to Trump? Why is he the one? Trump supporters remind me more of Obama's swooning acolytes than I've ever seen in 50 years of politics. Trump hasn't earned that loyalty. He's splintering not just the GOP, but the conservative movement. He's the best imitation of a wolf in sheep's clothing that I've seen.
Finally, if you'll notice, I didn't call you names, or impugn your integrity. NOT ONCE did I use a pejorative towards you or Trump. I have described what I've seen. Calling a person "nasty, just nasty, he's a liar really", as Trump is fond of doing, is meaningless. It proves NOTHING against Cruz, other than the fact that he has a lot more class that Trump, for avoiding a tit-for-tat sixth grade level war of insults.
