Tell you bosses in India to get some new screen names. We've caught on to the fake posters.

Yes, I am Sriram from Bangalore and all your politics belongs to me. Your real problem is that you don't have the balls to engage due to feeling of insecurity and ignorance. So you feel compelled to jump in with something safe where no one can figure out you don't have a clue what you are talking about. My advice to you, finish high school.

Yeah and most of belongs in the mad house, as you can’t argue with non arguments on points.

“At the end of the day when people go vote, people are gonna remember of the two it was Marco Rubio that was a member of the Gang of Eight and Ted Cruz that wasn’t.”

No.

They will remember that Rubio was man enough to own his past support for amnesty but Cruz took a different path. He decided to lie and treat his supporters like idiots:

First he trashed Trump behind his back and now this. Not good.

It’s hard to find fault with Ted Cruz. Rubio is a kid in comparison. He and Bush came across as petulant kids in parts of the debate. I can see why more candidates don’t drop out. Who are they going to endorse? Most of them are RINOs and the conservatives are leading the pack. They will look like fools if they endorse someone with numbers in the single digits. I think most of them will go away mad and not endorse anyone. Trump doesn’t need their support or their money. He has flaws but he is the perfect candidate. That being said I hope people eventually see Cruz is the better choice.

No?
So why have you been spewing out Rubio’s anti-Cruz lies on every Cruz thread lately then?

Rush has to back the only real, consistent conservative with the battle scars to prove it. It’s an easy call. Same as he and Mark Levin backed Cruz when Donald “reach across the isle” McCain attacked Ted Cruz from the left using GOPe talking points.

Cruz was on the news tonight. Lord he did not answer the amnesty question well at all. He started smirking and really was stumped. Poor guy new he needed to give some BS answer but was taken aback by the getting caught in the cookie jar. It was amazing. The only time I saw him screw up.

Nope.
What every conservative remembers about Marco Rubio is he won his fight for the US Senate only because of massive support from the Tea Party and that one of the very first time things he did in congress was to form an alliances with the Tea party's bitterest enemies, Charles Schumer, Duck Durbin, Barack Obama and write and bring to the vote the biggest amnesty program this country has ever seen. He stabbed those who fought to put him in congress in the back. That is what conservatives remember him. This is why after Rubio and his SPACs have run a massive campaign attack ads against Ted Cruz in Iowa repeating his lies for over 4 weeks, Cruz's poll numbers quadrupled in the DMR poll. Caucus voters are not stupid. They remember the gang of eight very well.

And How did that attack against Cruz from Trump from the left go? Trump managed to get conservative talk radio to massively back Cruz over Trump in that fight. Cruz came out the winner.

WHAT is that supposed to mean or convey?

Grow up.

News for you.

Some of us, dare I say, several of us, support and like both Trump and Cruz, including Jim Robinson and me.

As a matter of fact, I have sent a goodly sum of money to Cruz’s campaign.

I’ve also purchased 3 baseball caps from Trump’s online store.

I will be happy if either wins the nomination.

I’ll be thrilled if both are the GOP ticket.

Rubio is a LIAR,
While running to become one of my senators he stated he was NOT for amnesty.Yet even today that is his position that he IS for amnesty.
He is a LIAR/

The mockery is intended for a faction of posters who continue to lie and smear Ted Cruz even after they are proved wrong multiple times. They have no interest in the truth, only to grab on to a talking point that has been disproved.

The fact that Sessions, Lee e.t.c came out to back Cruz's point, does not matter to them.

If there is any thread saying anything positive about Cruz, they will get on the thread so fast to cr@p all over the thread, derail the thread from the subject being discussed.

If any popular conservatives say positive things about Ted Cruz or especially back him, that is just intolerable to them.

They will post a multitude of vanities to talk down Ted Cruz, to re-hash discredited talking points e.t.c.

If there is any good news posted about Ted's campaign, this group of people sound like they are about to collapse and pass out from anger/anxiety.

Onyx, I know you are not part of this group. They are the ones I call Trumpettes.

I've freemailed the original poster to let him have the honors.

Here is the thread:

and, in particular, this post showing Trump using fake posters on various social media:

I don’t think anyone objects to Trump supporters.

He has moved the conversation where it needs to go; says all the right things; and I would happily vote for Trump.

It’s the sudden 24/7 bashing of Cruz that is absurd — and it’s not you or the other known, respected, Freepers. There is a contingent of stale accounts that have suddenly become very, very active bashing Cruz.

I have not spewed out anything based on what Rubio has said. I have been paying attention. That is why Cruz's words mean nothing to me ether. Cruz talks a good game, but when push comes to shove, and he has to decide between representing his constituents over the GOPe, Cruz will side with the GOPe just as he has done in the past with TPA and the corker bill.
