Ron Paul: Cruz 'owned by Goldman Sachs'
The Hill ^

Posted on 02/05/2016 12:34:22 PM PST by springwater13

Former Rep. Ron Paul is lashing out at Ted Cruz, calling the GOP presidential contender too close to Wall Street.

"People are liking Cruz. They think he's for the free market, and he's owned by Goldman Sachs," the former Texas lawmaker said on Fox Business Network's "Varney & Company," according to Politico.

"I mean, he and [Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton] have more in common than we would have with either Cruz or [Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump] or any of them so I just don't think there is much picking," Paul added.

I don’t know, plenty of people around here are willing to give credence to Jimmy Carter including St Ted.

At least Ron Paul is not Jimmah!

The Clintons are probably worth $150 million or more.

The $760,000 is pocket change for the lady who campaigns on income inequality, of which she is very knowledgeable.

If $71,000 means Cruz is “owned” by Goldman Sachs

I would add GS's 71K is a small fraction of Cruz's 40 million dollar PACs.

How idiotic. Trump is the guy who supported the TARP bailout of the banks.

My mistake - I read 'Rand' not Ron.

Old Crank is more accurate.

Rand/Ron... what’s the difference?

Like my daddy used to say; “The nut don’t fall far from the tree”.

lol.

I wish someone would offer some evidence of this "ownership".

I swear I've never seen so many absolutely fact-free accusations leveled at one guy.

Hahahaha

As Danny Blather once proclaimed it’s not the facts of the case, but rather the seriousness of the allegation that matters.

The thing that get’s me is I didn’t realize there were so many “conservatives” that agreed with that mindset.

He warned you that they would come at him with everything and anything they could come up with before the Caucus in Iowa. It appears the Press has given up on Bush and gone full throttle for the Cuban Con Man-Marco Rubio.
