“Cruz supporters seem extremely willing to give his closest surrogates a total pass on everything they say.”
I have my criticisms of Cruz and Trump. I am willing to vote for either.
You, on the other hand, joined a conservative forum 6 months ago and have done almost nothing but continuously bash the most conservative candidate in the race.
Cruz is the most pro-life, pro-family, pro-religious liberty, pro-states rights, pro-gun rights, constitutional conservative that even ran this time. His conservative ratings with EVERY conservative group have been in the high 90 to 100 percentile. He has a zero percentile rating with NARAL.
He is hated by all the right people. And oddly, you are among them.
And I’ve already heard your nonsensical arguments that endorsements by GOPe people like Graham, Romney, and McCain prove something. Is he supposed to denounce them for doing what he asked them to do by supporting him? At the same time you will argue how Trump has no obligation to denounce David Duke. Graham, Romney, McCain, et al, are supporting Cruz to use him. They don’t like him any more than Trump... probably less.
And what I am posting is mostly for the benefit of others here. Your track record leads me to believe you are a paid Trump worker who just joined here to stir the pot. Or maybe Planned Parenthood pays you per post. That might make even more sense because Cruz and Trump should be natural allies.
People like you will make it very hard for people like me to vote for Trump in November. But there is still a remote possibility of a Trump-Cruz ticket. It would be a trifecta because they would steamroll Clinton, crush the GOPe, AND make the Cruz haters around here eat crow for several years. Beautiful.
If that’s all true, then I apologize, and suppose that maybe we both jumped the gun on each other. You can look through my post history and learn that you’re not correct, though I don’t blame you if you don’t.
Your attack on my “track record” is based only on my join date. You can read through my post history if you want to, but I’ve been reading FR for over a decade and only finally joined because a small board I posted on forever closed up shop. You call me a paid shill, another personal attack (again, this happens a lot but I’m not going to get nasty over it), but if you go only a few pages back, you’ll see I don’t reciprocate this. Another Cruz fanatic, 2ndDivisionVet, also does this to me with frequency, and I actually defend him when people level the same accusation at him as both of you do toward me.
So, I guess I’m just posting this for others too. If anyone cares to believe you, my post history is there for all to see. Cruz was my strong second choice until Iowa, since then it has gone steadily downhill. Donald Trump is not a god among men, but he’s a good guy to rally behind to stomp the GOPe (which, I’m sorry to say, Cruz is a part of). And I don’t hate you or anyone else personally for supporting other candidates.
The only person who has been retarded enough in their postings to seem like a paid shill to me has been JediJones. :P
