Seriously, How Can Ted Cruz Supporters Defend This?…
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | Febtruary 2, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 02/03/2016 10:04:12 AM PST by COUNTrecount

Earlier today Ted Cruz sent out a blitz of fundraising emails on the heels of his Iowa victory. Here's an example (screen grabbed), and pay attention to the two bullet points Cruz puts at the bottom of email:

D’Souza went to jail for that. You can’t give money to someone for the purpose of them donating it to a candidate. It’s illegal. So, if they did that, they’d be in jail.

Levin was particularly nasty to “birthers” for questioning 0bunghole’s fake birth cert. and NBC non-status. He was in attack mode about it. That showed me right then and there what he is made of. Now he’s exposing himself even more.

Many trying to destroy Cruz. Do not seem to care that our nation is being destroyed, just as long as his or her ‘perfect’ choice is not smeared and is the person to elect. On that basis, we the voters, have for many, many years done an absolutely abysmal job. But, do not worry, this time it will be different. Good luck to us all.

"It's all for the greater good."

Years ago I long dated a very liberal/progressive from the NE.
(I plead innocent by reason of Auburn hair induced insanity)

Naturally, she is on the "Global Warming/Climate Change is Our Fault" blame and gravy train.

She's actually very bright. But when I saw her not long ago and the subject came up, I asked her about how she could support such an obvious lie?

"It's all for the greater good."

No wonder we had problems...

Lol, look up the English common law on what a naturally born citizen is.
An English subject who gave birth in Paris, gave birth to an English subject, not a Frenchman.

The Trump campaign is stupid and desperate.

He is only going to drive Cruz supporters to Rubio if Cruz ultimately is defeated.

Keep it up cultists.m

Nor does it change because of the demands and/ or delusions of Cruz’s supporters.

“Either Cruz is part of the establishment or he is temporarily being used by them so they can kill off Trump. “

______________________________

Or, the other way around...Trump has been out with knives flying since Cruz challenged him in the polls...Cruz has been hitting back...

Now, Trump losing IA has sent him over the edge...he’s doing his level best to destroy his own candidacy with his sore loser schtick...

To correct your asinine post, they are NOT all DC lobbyists. Do you even know what a lobbyist is? You really should check the things you receive before you post them elsewhere and represent them accurately - assuming you have an interest in being accurate, that is.

Most of the firms on that list probably employ lobbyists, as does virtually every bloc of our economy, from corn growers, to aircraft manufacturers, to energy producers. Lobbyists exist for two reasons: 1) to protect businesses and other interests from the government - especially overly burdensome regulations; and 2) to obtain favored treatment from the government on behalf of their paying clients.

For reference, here is a link to a list of the top DC lobbying firms.

https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/top.php?indexType=l&showYear=2015

You’ll note that NONE of those are on the list and only two have EVER been registered lobbyists. To be fair, Baker Botts LLP and Morgan Lewis LLP were registered lobbyists in 2015, which is something Cruz should definitely address.

Now, just to complete the picture, how about posting a list that shows Trump’s loans from major international investment banks and his personal ownership of funds or stock in those banks. Hint: Trump has not only loans from Goldman, but also owns stock and funds with Goldman.

I quote: Eight of the Republican presidential hopefuls, Trump, Cruz, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, and Jim Gilmore said in financial disclosures that were largely filed between June and August last year that they had owned Goldman funds or Goldman stock, and in some cases both. The disclosures mostly cover the period from the beginning of 2014 to the middle of last year.

Yes, I know... Regarding Trump, it doesn’t matter...

I guess we’ll just have to nominate Santorum. That will make the gay communists very happy.

Btw, why doesn’t sue Cruz and test his theory Ted is not a citizen. He has standing.

The fact he doesn’t sue tells you all you need to know about what a phony issue this is.

A court would shove it down Trumps throat and humiliate him,

Liars do as Liars do, they go out, look you straight in the face with a straight face and they LIE! They are pros at it! So I do not care what was said in December, I care what their actual record is on the subject and their record does not support this new found so called ‘conservative’ stance on immigration.

Really, Ted Cruz went to the border with Glenda “cry baby” Beck and stood there, handing out toys to children whose illegal parents, had just brought them over the border and did not say one word publicly about how the parents need to take the child back home and bring them back legally so to teach their children respect for their future country.

Cruz did this as a sitting US Senator, so please, dispense with the lies, actions speak louder than words! And immigration is just the tip of the iceberg where Cruz's true political loyalties are concerned, which are not in the best interest of the United States citizenry at large because they do not respect the limited powers given to the government by ‘we the people’ via the US Constitution.

It's getting to the point where I am becoming disillusioned with BOTH DT and Cruz...but where's my alternative? Despite what many of us may think to the contrary, the establishment/enemedia is doing an AMAZING job dividing Conservatives in preparation for the "business as usual" forcing of the right(conservatives) to choose a milquetoast candidate once again...

The most prescient statement ever uttered is that history has, and always will, repeat itself ad infinitum.

What does this even mean:
“And in the end, though, what the senator is trying to do, as well, is save and expand our legal immigration system.”
