It’s simple to find out — but you have to be interested IN finding out.

Ah yes, the haughty insult tool ... you’re such a good example of Freerepublic. NOT

It wasn't very nice, but do you know why he said what he did about libel law?

A public figure must prove "actual malice" to win a libel suit, and that suit can take years and many millions of dollars to win.

Actual malice means that the publisher was more than just wrong; the publisher must either have KNOWN the story was false or, at least, have actually harbored a serious doubt about it. This rule effectively shields a publisher from liability of some (often well-bribed) liars come forward and lie. (And even if the libeled public figure wins, like I said, victory can come years later at the cost of millions.)

So the "Cruz didn't sue, so it must be true" reasoning is faulty at best.

You have an opinion fashioned by you loyalty to the Cruz image. That is admirable. But the methodology of slinging insults at anyone not agreeing with that is suspiciously divisive.

Yeah but Trumps threats of filing lawsuits based on his own words in political ads and then not doing it is a sign of integrity! That there is a Man’s man. A leader of men!

You betcha! Long live lying Donnie, his royal Eminence. The fearless leader of the Trump Republic guard.

All hail king donnie. Blessed be his name.

So where is Heidi? Says she is missing. If she truly is missing and hiding since Friday, when affair accusations came out,then I think that speaks volumes.

They could if they have her password. But there are also pictures of her in Wisconsin today.

Odd, I did several searches and can't find any pictures of her in Wisconsin today.

Only see two tweets, are they hers?

Not really. She has two kids and is off to Wisconsin for the campaign. Give a Mom the benefit of doubt that she spent some parent time with two little girls having Easter.

My opinion about the "he didn't sue, so it must be true" has dick to do with my loyalty to any candidate. (Yes, my top candidate right now is Cruz, though.) It has to do with my knowledge of the law. Public figures who are libeled are often less harmed by NOT suing than by suing. And I'm not the one who insulted you; some other guy did.

I'm sorry, I tried. Or rather, I'm sorry I tried.

“Billy Sol Estes” really? What do you think about the theories that Lyndon had something to do with with the JFK assassination?

I can't say for sure she put out those two tweets. Then again, I don't see much proof for most of what is posted on this entire topic.

I concur (with what you mean; what you say is sarcastic). Trump often threatens to "probably" sue someone. He rarely follows through. When he does sue for defamation, it often backfires spectacularly (see #1 in http://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2013/03/the-lawsuits-of-donald-trump/273819/), but don't tell his most devoted acolytes that. Not that they'd listen, or care if they did.

Of course, not everyone pulling for Trump is dump or blind to his sore spots. Most here aren't. But many are.

And I was referring to the poster who wrote the insult, the one to whose defense you appeared to come. I did not send any kind of insult your way.

Just so you know, I believe the publishing of such an insinuation as this regarding Ted Cruz, in a presidential nominating race, raises to the level of malice aforethought if not true. And immediate filing would be quite successful, and there are thousands of lawyers who would rush to take the case.

And the unidentified (so far) women must be sweating bullets as I am sure they will be identified in due time. Both ladies identified so far who swear they never did the deed with Cruz, why haven’t they brought suit? Good point VerySadAmerican.

Very Odd again, clicked on the link and it's a "Bing" search and it shows those pictures dated 1 or 2 days ago.

Did a Google search and it shows those same pictures dated 5 or 6 days ago.

They're the same pictures dated very differently, odd.

Specificly state their case. What did the N.E. accuse them of?

Hint: It didn’t. It implied it based on stating rumors that was brought to them.

Campaigns and politics are about perception. And whether he committed adultery or not it looks like Cruz is handling this very ham handedly. It wouldn’t cost him anything to mention a lawsuit against the NE. And it wouldn’t cost him anything to state outright that he never cheated on Heidi. If he did cheat and the NE has evidence of it then he is toast. But by not more specifically denying the infidelities he adds more fuel to the fire. If he’s hoping for some triumphant acclimation of innocence that’s not likely. Frankly I’m not sure what Cruz is doing here but it’s only fanning the flames.

And I would support Cruz against Hitlery, adultery or not. He’s an ivy league lawyer and a parasite, but he’s not Hitlery. Much as I detest the Pubes their “We’re not as bad as the Democrats” strategy will probably work again. And it makes me ill to contemplate voting for GOP scum. But.... Hitlery. No sane person could sit it out and let that evil evil hag achieve the Presidency. I’m no historian but I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single politician in our entire history as a nation who caused more harm to this country or was dogged by more scandals or left more ruined lives in its wake.
