What Ted Bush did is lie to the people of Texas about self funding his senate campaign while actually funding it with sweetheart loans from GS and Citibank. The FEC has already asked Cruz to disclose the terms of those loans and he refuses to do so. That makes me suspect that Calgary Ted is hiding something. The FEC have not been after Trump for anything as far as I know. The fact is that Ted Bush is a slime ball with a history of violating FEC regulations. I would not be surprised if he is violating the rules again, given his history.

Sigh. This is simply not true.

Cruz received a margin loan, not a "sweetheart" loan and filed necessary paperwork, save a required FEC disclosure, which he filed upon being notified by the FEC.

There is no reason he would have purposely neglected to file this paperwork, as he had already given public notice he had acquired it.

Self-funding does not rule out loan money. Get over it. I self-funded a business start-up, borrowing money to make it feasible.

A smart lawyer facing hostile investigations knows that the best way to kill a witch hunt is to act within his rights to refuse to release info to overstepping, hostile bureaucrats. Under the law, a loan is a loan is a loan.

Clamming up within one's rights is like refusing to talk to cops except through a lawyer. Too bad that it makes some people suspicious that you're guilty of wrongdoing; it's still the best thing to do. Get over it.

In other words, Cruz didn't lie to the people of Texas--no matter what the terms of the loan were. A loan is a loan is a loan. Only Trump and his fanatical scandal-mongers push the issue with vicious name-calling--without any support whatsoever.

You're on the side of a really bad guy, IMHO. Trump's reckless, slash-and-burn style of accusation after accusation after accusation has suckered you--and it shows up as a really bad spirit on FR.

(Do you really believe that Cruz was responsible for Obamacare being adjudicated as Constitutional? Trump said that he was. [Where does Trump's over-the-top viciousness, with no real regard for even obvious truth, leave guys like you?])
