Gowdy calls for Cruz to denounce 'underhanded tactics'
The Washington Examiner ^ | 2/16/2016 | AL WEAVER

Posted on 02/16/2016 12:38:53 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Trey Gowdy, a South Carolina congressman who supports Marco Rubio, called for Ted Cruz to repudiate the most recent bit of "underhanded tactics" ahead of the South Carolina primary.

"In the last week, we have seen a systematic effort by Sen. Cruz and his allies to spread false information and outright lies in the hopes of winning votes by appealing to our lowest common denominator," Gowdy said. "Now, Its been reported that a fake Facebook page has been used to fool South Carolinians into thinking that I no longer support Marco Rubio and that I'm instead supporting Ted Cruz.

"Nothing could be further from the truth and I'm demanding that Sen. Cruz and his campaign repudiate these dishonest and underhanded tactics," Gowdy continued. "We can have a debate about the future of our party and our country. But we need not leave our integrity behind."

In the Facebook post at hand by a page titled "Trey Gowdy Prayers," it says that the most recent debate "revealed [Rubio's] total lack of integrity, intillect and foresight," before switching the faux endorsement to Cruz.

As a nurse of 40 years I could have assured a logical person that Medicaid is not accepted by many doctors and there are few sliding scale clinics that do PAPS and manual breast exams so no kiddo services like those are not readily available to lower income women.

As you express concern about who Trump associates with that is what makes Cruz disgusting associations pertinent. Apparently your vocabulary doesn’t mean you have good logic my mistake. No further need to discus anything with a Cruz cult member like you.

I’m looking hard. Looking, looking.....

Nope. Fresh out of sympathy.

What are you talking about? PP doesn’t do breas exams. They refer. There are plenty of government institutions that provide these services. Even if there weren’t, why should we still allow PP to operate? They are more harmful to women then they are helpful. Women are constantly injured at PP clinics. They sell dead children after harvesting their organs. Tell me why our tax money should pay for such disgusting practices? Furthermore, who will check to make sure they aren’t doing abortions? Not government officials, I can tell you that.

Go ahead and run away and prevaricate. That is evidently your custom. You cannot deny Trunp’s associates are as slimy as himself else you wouldn’t have to try to cover up for him by attacking Cruz.

Boy you aren’t too well informed PP doesn’t do mammograms but they do manual exams and more tumors are found on manual exam than on mammogram. Research and find those institutions that do PAPS and manual exams and maybe you can provide that list for every town so woman can have the information genius. Others have been unable to.

Hospital do abortions who monitors that. PP as Trump says should not do abortions nor ever be funded if they do. The issue would be to stop all abortion.

Prevaricate wow another big word...does Trump’s ego bother you because you see yourself. Cruz associates are slim regardless of who anyone else associates with. One is not absolved of slim because of anyone else has issues. Carson, Rubio seems everyone is target for Cruz and no one likes him. All the work he did for Bush since 2000 and even he can’t stand Cruz.

You’re giving Cruz too much credit. He picked his people. And hasn’t fired anyone. He’s at the heart of these dirty tactics.

“Cruz seems like a good man surrounded by idiots. “

Sadly enough, Cruz is the one who has chosen to surround himself with these kinds of people, including the ones running his extremely nasty campaign.

Again, they offer services that other organizations do. As of right now, abortion is legal. PP, however, consistently breaks the law and harms women. The difference between hospitals and Planned Parenthood is that hospitals typically aren’t A) killing kids and selling their body parts to be used in vile experiments, and B) they aren’t using taxpayer dollars in the same way as PP, if they use tax dollars at all. I cannot believe that anyone on this website would defend PP or advocate that we keep it around. Any “wonderful” things PP does are outweighed by the horrific and inhumane things it does. Good Lord, they do things you would have seen inside a Nazi camp.

You seem to be hung up on my usage of “big” words. Do you have an inferiority complex or something? There is nothing wrong with using “big” words. It’s what educated people do. I’m glad that you see and admit Trump has an enormous ego. Finally, something we agree on.

Your last part is nigh indecipherable. Do you even proofread? I feel like an illegal alien right out of Mexico has a better handle on the English language than you do.

From what I can tell, you are trying to act like Carson and Rubio are A) the only candidates besides Trump and Cruz, and B) that theirs is the only opinion on Cruz worth having. Of course they won’t like him. He is beating them. Numerous major and respected Conservative have backed Cruz. You also seem to be hung up on the fact that he isn’t liked. What does being liked have to do with sticking with your beliefs? What does being liked have to do with politics? Just remember, “It is better to be alone than in bad company.” He is liked by voters and people who are not in Washington. That is what is important here.

You keep bringing up non-issues like your idol does and use his talking points as if they somehow support your nonsensical screed. Then you act as if being liked and supported by RINOS and traitors is something for which one should strive. It’s really not.

You are a pathetic child and if you can’t read English take a course. Educated? I have a masters degree (magna cum laude) from Miami University so no inferiority complex but very regretful for thinking to complementing you. Your lack of medical knowledge is very apparent and that you are a petty twerp is also.

I could say more but I try not to swear especially at ..well you know what you are.

nobody has to ‘attack’ Cruz. He does so many dirty and dishonest things we just need to talk about them.

‘You are a pathetic child and if you can’t read English take a course. Educated? I have a masters degree (magna cum laude) from Miami University so no inferiority complex but very regretful for thinking to complementing you.’

Oh that’s hilarious. You’re attacking about her English while writing nonsensical things like ‘so no inferiority complex but very regretful for thinking to complementing you.’’

Unless your MS is in engineering, math, or the hard sciences, it’s worthless. Liberal arts degrees are worth the paper they’re printed in and that’s about it, as well as some of the BS degrees.

Wtf? You cannot type a sentence like a normal human being. Reread what you wrote. You repeatedly used the same words throughout your text in areas that didn’t make sense. Your grammar is atrocious, and you seem to be incapable of using punctuation correctly. Your diatribe became more and more incoherent as you went on. It wasn’t just a few typos, either. If you are so educated, then why do you insist on bringing up my use of “big” words? It’s a stylistic aspect.

Furthermore, that is not a question of “medical knowledge”. It is a practical subject on taxes and insurance. There are plenty of government funded places that could provide the same “care” that PP does. There is no need to keep the corrupt organization around. Any suggestion to do so is immoral.

“I could say more but I try not to swear especially at ..well you know what you are.”

Do tell. Don’t be shy. Just go ahead and say it.
