Who Is The Real Ted Cruz?
Daily Caller ^ | 1/26/2015 | Roger Stone

Posted on 01/26/2016 2:42:42 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Vladimir Lenin said, "There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel."

I can't think of a better description of Ted Cruz's relationship with the DC-Wall Street Establishment - Cruz being the scoundrel of course. Cruz's claim of not being a tool of the political elite is like Bill Clinton telling the world, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Webster's definition of a scoundrel is a dishonest or unscrupulous person, and Cruz has become quite adroit at saying one thing while his history shows him doing the other. Rather than the outsider he claims to be, Ted Cruz is the ultimate insider, former top Bush 41 policy aide and globalist, Ivy Leaguer, and establishment insider.

Not many conservatives coming out of Princeton and Harvard. "I'm just sayin,'" Ted, as said in the debate.

There is no better example of this than Calgary Ted's actions surrounding the big Wall Street banks and their secret funding of his political ascension. Cruz has been gorging at the table of the ultimate insider of all insiders - Goldman Sachs and Citibank .

You may recall in a recent Fox Business Network debate that Cruz, in Mr. Haney from Green Acres voice, declared to one of the moderators, "The opening question [moderator Jerry Seib] asked -- would you bailout the big banks again -- nobody gave you an answer to that. I will give you an answer -- absolutely not."

What else would you expect a scoundrel to say who had secretly secured big sweetheart loans from Goldman and Citibank -- by leveraging his retirement accounts -- to fund his 2012 U.S. Senate campaign.

...secured big sweetheart loans from...

I once secured a loan from my 401k. Is that considered a "big sweetheart" loan?

” “There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.””

Unfortunately, describes Trump to a tee. The way he’s been cozying up to not just the establishment but the Rats establishment has totally turned me off to him.

Roger Stone is a well know bottom feeder scumbag who started out in politics doing dirty tricks for the Nixon campaign.

He and his wife were involved in wife swapping scandal in the 90’s he of course denounced and went after a domestic who worked for him. Years later he admitted to the ads he and his wife placed.

I was surprised Trump ever let this dirtbag near his campaign. However seeing his style it is no surprise Trump got involved with Stone.

From 2007:

Battles are just battles. Cruz didn’t win any Senate battles. It was all talk to make himself look good so he could run as a die hard conservative, even though he was a Bushie. He used the Senate as a launch pad for a POTUS run even though he had no Senate success record to add creds to be POTUS. This run is merely a notch in his belt of ambition to him.

Elect him and you are going to get another Bush administration coupled with more hate than before.

No thanks..

I’ll vote for him if he is all that is left, but will do it with disappointment.

Life and the means to protect it. Not only has Ted Cruz “walked the talk”, he’s often times the lone voice in opposition to the Obama agenda.

No one else has said defund AND PROSECUTE PLANNED PARENTHOOD. If you won’t stand for innocent lives, your not a candidate I would support.He has also stood up to the sodomites....

Cruz: “When A Mayor Of A City Chooses Twice To March In A Parade Celebrating Pride, That’s A Statement – And It’s Not A Statement I Agree With.” “Cruz: What I am saying is that when a mayor of a city chooses twice to march in a parade celebrating gay pride, that’s a statement - and it’s not a statement I agree with.” [KERA, 2/22/12; VIDEO]

Trump doesn’t support any of these prior to this campaign, yet claims to have adopted all since.

Trump is a windsock candidate, his “principles” defined haphazardly depending on poll shifts or pandering opportunity. Since he counters those who disagree with him, other candidates, as well as other pundits with wild, baseless and irrelevant attacks then he can’t cry Wolf when the tables are turned and he’s the focus of their wrath.

Pot calling the kettle black.

Quite obvious you nor Trump have nothing really to use against Cruz, why else the homemade mud you churned up?

Is there no honor in the Trump camp?

You’re joking, right?

He has billions of dollars in loans with big banks. You compare cozying up to Bush to cozying up to Pelosi, Schumer, Reid? Supporting ethanol subsidies?

I used to support Trump because I liked his style and thought that he had changed from the positions he held a few years ago. But his very recent statements of “reaching across the aisle” have totally turned me off to him. I have no idea what he will do if he were to get elected. I see no foundation to build on.

Still grasping for thin air.

You better hope the hateful indies show up to actually vote. The voters that actually think for themselves will not vote Trump, he’s just too easy to see through.

“The air here is very clear. You better hope the hateful indies show up to actually vote. The voters that actually think for themselves will not vote Cruz, the non-NBC. He’s just too easy to see through.

See how that works? Stop taking things to a personal level (”you”). GROW UP.
