It's a sewer out there.

Not for me to say. I was just wondering.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

It makes sense to me that this story was planted by the establishment to knock Cruz down and make room for their Mailman candidate.

[DiogenesLamp]

I will say... it could be both sides are being played by the GOPe...

Feed the Trump wife story out to get Trump hard after Cruz

Feed the Cruz affair story out to get Cruz hard after Trump

It escalates into MAD mutually assured destruction...taking out both

GOPe pick up the pieces afterward..... the timing of the two attacks are interesting

This is an idea that has occurred to me as well. Not just the GOPe, but also the left could be helping to push this stuff. Both men are a threat to both organizations.

See, see! Trump’s harsh, vile campaign rhetoric has gotten everyone at each other’s throats!
BURN THIS INTERNET DOWN!

I agree wholeheartedly. Trumps done more in 8 months to split us up than Barack has done in 8 years. Hillary’s going to chew him up and spit him out because a lot of women I know who are Republicans hate what Trump’s doing. We supported Carly before she left. Now they don’t know if they’ll even vote.

[[It’s not manly to violate God’s commands. It’s cowardice, the true antithesis of faith. False accusations are sin. No war is worth losing one’s soul for.]]

Precisely! I just posted about this same thing- I’ll repost here:

Yep- because after all there aint ‘nothin funner’ than destroying someone especially when none of the facts are truly known- Just the presumption of guilt is all that’s needed for people to get all excited about- It’s called bearing false witness and gossip monguering- people love to tear others down and jump all over any unsupported wild allegations as though they were gospel fact i n their lust to see others destroyed-

Exodus 23:1

“You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.

Proverbs 16:28

A perverse man spreads strife, And a slanderer separates intimate friends.

Proverbs 20:19
Verse Concepts

He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets, Therefore do not associate with a gossip.

1 Timothy 5:13

At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.

Leviticus 19:16

‘You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the LORD.

Exodus 20:16

“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

Proverbs 18:6-7

A fool’s lips bring strife, And his mouth calls for blows. A fool’s mouth is his ruin, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

Proverbs 6:16-19

There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him: ... A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.

Proverbs 10:18

He who conceals hatred has lying lips, And he who spreads slander is a fool.

Psalm 34:13

Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit

Proverbs 11:13

He who goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is trustworthy conceals a matter

Psalm 141:3

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.

Titus 3:2

to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.

Psalm 101:5

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.

Romans 1:29-30

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,

IF it turns out Ted is not guilty of infidelity, many on this forum WILL be guilty of bearing false witness and slander-

It would be much wiser for people to wait until the facts are known and evidence comes forth than to jump on a scandal rag story as though it were gospel truth because if it turns out to be false- many will be guilty of spreading hateful disgusting lies about Ted, and doing so gleefully it appears-

[Gritty]

Thanks.

Everybody needs to calm down instead of shooting everybody on our side.

[DiogenesLamp]

Here's a recent article by David Horowitz that should be read, just about this issue:

Horowitz: How Not To Fight Our Enemies. Some Republicans seem more intent on destroying their allies

I'll read it after i've responded to the thread's messages to me. Thanks.

[richardtavor]

I agree Diogenesis..We have become what we hate. Free Republic has degraded itself to the level of the Democratic Underground. Honestly, we all need to ask ourselves how such hate has crept into this forum. I believe it is because we have all lost our faith in the system, and we have all become terribly afraid (probably in 2012). Is Trump the solution? Is Cruz? I don’t think that we need a presidential Messiah, we need to look within ourselves and think about what we are doing. If we continue to tear each other apart, we will have nothing left but hate. I do not like that world.

[CaptainPhilFan]

Commenting to show my support.

Both sides slinging mud - it would be moronic to only believe one against the other. Neither is perfect and both are better than Cankles.

I will gladly vote either one and consider them both better choices than McCain or Romney.

For anyone to sit this one out on their High Horse is so irresponsible, it’s suicidal.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Simple....folks......It’s the American voters that are the fools. Ted Cruz started all this with “his” Melania nude posting!!! Whatever goes around comes around!!! Ted Cruz and all the Reupublican (Romney, Beck, Fiorina, etc., vermin that back him are the lowest form of humand & politcal sleaze that exists!!! End of story!!! America deserves the vermin they vote for.......and Ted Cruz is by far the worst of them!!!

[DiogenesLamp]

If it’s Trump or Hillary it doesn’t matter to me who wins. I’m set to be successful either way. If this country is sorry enough to elect either of them then the country get’s what it deserves. I’m not voting for either of them. It will be someone else who elects either of them.

Let me ask you to consider this: If Hillary wins, Hillary doesn't go to prison. If Trump wins, Hillary might very well go to prison.

Isn't the chance of seeing her go to prison even a little bit appealing to you?

I certainly could not forgive myself if I passed up such an opportunity.

[lucky american]

Stop it! How many mistresses did Trump have? Wasn’t Melania one of them while he was married to Ivana?
You see, it’s stupid to repeat lies until you believe they are true.

[US_MilitaryRules]

Then JimRob ought to ban you.

[kjam22]

I would love to see Hillary in Orange.... but not enough to vote for Donald Trump. Not to mention, just because he says he'll prosecute her doesn't mean he will. There is always another deal to be had.

Nope... I won't vote for either of those two. They are two of a kind. They both want to be king.

[DiogenesLamp]

You’re right, DL; the Republican presidential contest has become a laughingstock. Instead of a debate over reduction in the size of Fedzilla, destroying ISIS, and securing the border, it’s a Junior High food fight. What—or who—could have caused this level of juvenile behavior?

We need to get a grip on ourselves, and hope and pray the candidates get a grip on themselves. This tabloid, juvenile, insult throwing stuff needs to stop.

[Caipirabob]

Lol!

[Paradox]

I can be successful under whatever administration is elected.

Well then if its all about you, perhaps you are on the wrong side, politically..

[kjam22]

Ban me for not voting?? For not voting for Donald Trump instead of Hillary Clinton? Really? wow....

[DiogenesLamp]

Washington Times “reporter” that supposedly confirms Ted Cruz had “affairs” was himself previously fired for altering newspaper headlines w/o authorization

My initial reaction is to just dismiss these accusations of affairs by Ted Cruz. I am reminded of the accusations of Affairs against Niki Haley.

I am not going to lend credence to this stuff without either a confession or compelling proof.

[kjam22]

I’m not on the wrong side. I’m a principled, values voting conservative. That’s what I’ll vote for.
