Currently, Ted Cruz is trying to pose as an aw-shucks country lawyer, despite his elite connections. But the problem is that those connections are out there for all to see. And one of the most troubling is his wife Heidi, a Goldman Sachs investment manager who served on the task force which wrote the report on “Building a North American Community,†a direct attack on American independence.
It includes a recommendation to build a European Union style abolition of borders between Mexico and the United States.
Lay the groundwork for the freer flow of people within North America. The three governments should commit themselves to the long-term goal of dramatically diminishing the need for the current intensity of the governments’ physical control of cross-border traffic, travel, and trade within North America. A long-term goal for a North American border action plan should be joint screening of travelers from third countries at their first point of entry into North America and the elimination of most controls over the temporary movement of these travelers within North America.

Just calling you out when you post misinformation. I was just poking fun at you for using the phrase common sense, you know that is a loaded term these days.
PFL
Well, if we’re trashing family can we talk about Fred Trump PLEASE.Who's stopping you?
Bill Clinton raping and molesting women and Hillary’s treatment of them is old news too. Are we not suppose to talk about it?
Move on. Right? /S
Market forces are defined differently for the globalist bankers. Markets for them are impenetrable and rigged to benefit outfits like Goldman Sachs. Proprietary trading desks for the big banks would have years with almost no daily losses.
I lifted that quote from < href="http://blogcritics.org/anatomy-of-a-smear-heidi-cruz/">here. It didn't include the two sentences you've quoted.
This issue has apparently been beaten to death already during his senatorial campaign.
I'm not finding anything in her views on this that's cause for concern. There are substantial economic problems in the region and they've been exploited by socialist revolutionaries to foment unrest and civil war to the detriment of the people there. I believe she's correct that capitalist private sector investment and development would help mitigate that.
I'll be happy to listen to any contrary arguments you might have if you believe otherwise.
BACKSTORY Cruz/s Senate election fairy tale has become legendary.
Cruz/s campaign narrative.....portraying himself as a scrappy populist putting everything on the line to overcome a wealthy establishment opponent.
He was whining in the media, telling trusting Texans that that he, and his faithful little wife, were forced to liquidate their entire family savings (of slightly more than $1 million) to fuel a come-from-behind win in the Republican primary.
NOW TRUSTING TEXANS LEARN Cruz did not liquidate family assets.....he got his hands on over a million dollars from his hefty margin accounts at G/S and Citibank......and did not disclose this on FEC reports (to keep it a secret from trusting Texans).
Cruz did not disclose loans on FEC reports (required by law) b/c Texans would have discovered he was not the aw-shucks rube he pretended to be. He continued the rube act in order to milk votes from trusting Texans.
At the same time, he also did not disclose he was a dual Canadian citizen......the Harvard-educated lawyer w/ two Ivy League degrees said he didn't know.
Good victory lap, Liz.
Cruz is doing a DISASTROUS job of spinning this.
If he fails to turn this around, it’s better we see his glass jaw now than to see it after he’s nominated.
I think Greetings Puny Humans has a devastating brain. Not one to tangle with in a debate. I thank God for him being on this forum as well as other smart people.
As for being a ‘common sense’ 2nd Amendment guy, I don’t know about GPH, but I myself believe that common sense is absolutely necessary.
1. I don’t want ISIS guys buying rocket launchers and tommy guns at the the liquor store.
2. I don’t want to deregulate nuclear bombs.
3. I don’t want cops killed with teflon-tipped bullets or bullets with mercury in them or anything like that.
At the same time, guns should be affordable, NOT taxed. Nor should ammo. Nor should less dangerous forms of self-defense be hard to access. No taxes on them either.
So maybe the Constitution needs a little modernizing on this issue, guys? I would not mind letting states have the most say.
HOW/D THEY DO THAT? When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities. Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America.
The labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances. But the purpose of this complex financial architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to get rich and avoid scrutiny.
Well I guess you’re easily impressed, I can tell from your ridiculous screed about common sense gun control. Where did you get that? Bloomberg talking points?
“Trump is the one running for office.”
Bingo. And Cruz is running for president, not Mrs. Cruz.
That is why I was a little surprised when you tried to attack candidate Cruz through his wife . . . remember that?
I just wanted to see if a cheap shot is as apparent when I do it and when you do it.
CONSERVATIVES would mind very much any further encroachment on the GOD-GIVEN right to keep and bear arms. I don’t trust Anrew Cuomo or Jerry Brown or Dannell Malloy or Krispy Kreme or a raft of other state anti-gun quislings with such patently unconstitutional power and more than I trust Obozo or BATF.
What, exactly, does that mean?
Americans of goodwill don't want to see any law enforcement officers murdered period. Do you have some other view?
Of possible interest flashback....

(Major donor to his failed AG, then successful Senate run.)
‘we should have been beating those kids with sticks!!! I mean, showing compassions to a bunch of parentless kids’
That photo is just teeming with patentless children, isn’t it?
The parentless children meme was a hoax. It was Obama’s lie/way of generating sympathy.
‘I’m not finding anything in her views on this that’s cause for concern.’
That’s tautological for a Cruz supporter.
If Trump had said the exact same thing...the firestorm would never end.
Thanks for the summation. Anyone who believes Cruz didn’t know he was a dual citizen has gone too far in their support. It’s like an Obot insisting that not only did Obama not claim to his own literary agent that he was born in Kenya, he had no idea they were advertising him that way. If you have to make yourself look moronic to believe your candidate, you’ve sacrificed all objectivity and put blind faith in its place.
I.e.: you’ve gone too far.
Cruz told Levin he used the Wall Street loans for the campaign/s TV ads......but these loans have never been reported as campaign related. Cruz does not need the FEC/s permission to fully disclose the info. What is he hiding?
EXHIBIT ONE <><> In January 2016, the New York Times reported that Cruz and his wife had taken out low-interest loans from Goldman Sachs (her employer) and Citibank, and failed to report the nearly $1 million in loans on Federal Election Commission disclosure statements as required by law.[97]
Cruz disclosed the loans on his Senate financial disclosure forms in July 2012, but not on the Federal Election Commission form.[98]
The loans were largely repaid by later campaign fundraising.....even though Cruz/s spox recently said no donor paid off the loans.
A spokesperson for Cruz said his failure to report the loans to the FEC was “inadvertent” and said he would be filing supplementary paperwork.[97]
EXHIBIT TWO <><> Time magazine reported on a potential violation of ethics rules by Senate candidate Cruz. ........by failing to publicly disclose his financial relationship with Caribbean Equity Partners Investment Holdings during the 2012 campaign, Cruz called his failure to disclose these connections an inadvertent omission.[96]
