Cruz says he won't apologize to anyone for the mailers -- suggesting he's "encouraging" people to turn out to caucus.
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Yeh Mr. GG2 is always with me. :-)
I had mentioned in another reply (another thread?) that this flyer would probably cause be to react either:
1) Wow - how rude!
2) Hmm - I need to vote - all my neighbors are.
3) Hey - none of my idiot (liberal) neighbors vote! Maybe my vote DOES count!
That is, if I even opened it up. Yes it has created a twitter storm. But lots of mass mailings like this (old campaign stuff, clearinghouse magazines, etc.) use similar things to get people to bite. I find all of that crap stupid and playing on people’s fears. But I guess in the marketing world it works.
Of course with the internet storm this latest one has created - maybe they’ll have to go back to the marketing drawing board on the pros/cons of it.
I would like to know what, if anything, was on the back of the page we have seen, or if anything else was in the envelope.
I saw one picture of other side of envelope on Twitter—I believe it said “Election Violation”
I get crap like this from various organization, etc..Open immediately, etc. They always try to make the mass mailing junk mail look official—Very annoying and creepy....
It is just not something I would expect from a supposed limited government type. Annddd he did not apologize-—he doubled down. :(
My daughter was in an “Ethics Bowl” this weekend. One of the items brought up was making not voting a civil or legal violation or something to help bring up voter turn out. I guess they do that in some countries (I think Venezuela was one of them!).
I thought to myself “It’s bad enough we have to pay taxes at the end of a gun - but have to vote with a gun pointed at you too!?”
I have yet to find an issue where Donald Trump lines up to the right of Mitt Romney.
Oh gosh! I am so sorry for the loss of your dear dad. Personal stories like yours make me so angry. Why our government lets these animals in that don’t belong here is an outrage. They have no personal responsibility for their actions and our criminal justice system, schools and hospitals are overwhelmed by people who have no right to be here. Grrrr!
Very well stated. Thanks.
The more I read about this clown the more I dislike everything about him....

Well, that’s not out of character for Cruz. He NEVER apologizes for anything EVER! His poor wife....
Remember what you told me.. Cruz would Lose.. Nope Trump Lost.. He is the Loser in Iowa.. ground game matters... Cruz got more Republican Votes than any other Republican Caucus candidate.. Even Beat Ronald Reagan.. Cruz is the real deal!!!
They are FURIOUS!
Can’t you get THAT through your addled brains?
Can I gloat now!!! Trump Lost!!! Cruz beat him!! Trump almost was in third place!!! I guess the mailer was trivial huh???
Trump insulted an entire state because the polls were favoring Carson for a while.
Intimidation involves a threat. What was the threat? The flyer is like a report card, that’s all.
You said it right.. Congratulations Go to Ted Cruz the big winner of the Iowa Caucuses.. He won the largest vote of any Republican Candidate ever over 48,000 Votes..
When Trump wins next week, I shan't ping YOU and post what you have to me, tonight.
Just remember....both Trump and Cruz just got the same amount of delegates tonight. *snicker*
You are classless.
And You are?
Maybe Trump won’t win NH!!!
I didn’t ping you I just looked up what you said to me.. and How you said it I.m just returning a little favor I thing I owe you.. Trump Lost Big Tonight.. Cruz won by the biggest vote count ever in Iowa Caucus over 48,000 votes.. Trump was suppose to win remember???
Glad Cruz didn’t apologize. He gained points for not apologizing.
Cruz won’t win N.H.; not even with using the DIRTY tricks he loves so much.
What dirty tricks?? He got out the vote and he has big MO going forward.. Big mouth Lost tonight. Which he rightly deserved.. Cruz will come in maybe 1, 2, 3.. Then win SC and sweep the south!!
