I've been seeing this fake Cruz "news story" making the rounds on Facebook and it's already bamboozled some of my less-sharp pals. 
 There's a fake USATODAY website out there (usatoday.com.co), with the look of USATODAY, that claims Ted Cruz stated that U.S. Military veterans should "self-fund via sales of cookies, like the Girl Scouts."

    They gotta lie because the truth won't achieve their goals. LOL!

    Just one more reason to avoid FB like the plague.

    I went to the fake site. It really is funny all the things they come up with. Amazing how many believe all that crap.

    Exactly. That lie burned Sarah and we’ve got to nip this one in the bud, too.

    I went to the fake site. It really is funny all the things they come up with. Amazing how many believe all that crap.I've seen a few of their "news" stories posted here as well.
"B-b-but it's USA Today!"
"Um, no. It's not."

    Heck. I don't believe half of what the real USA Today publishes. I used to like the page that had one story from each state. It's hard to completely bias a story in one or two sentences.

    He IS! drool.... unfortunately for me, I only like smart men (and of course there’s the little fact that I’m not near good looking enough for someone like him, not even in the same galaxy)

     I only like smart men I take actors at face value ... a cute one is a cute one, even if he's not the sharpest knife in the chandelier. There are so few I think are cute that I can't afford to consider their brains.

    I was presuming he wasn’t smart because of him falling for this line so easily.

    Plenty of FReepers fall for John Semmens’ “Semi-News,” even though it’s been on here for years and years.
He could be a dip, but if you only see him in a role ... especially a role from the 1990s ... what difference does it make?

This is not he. It is a young musician with the same name.
