A super PAC that launched a smear ad on Melania Trump in Utah has been linked to former GOP presidential candidate and Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.
According to Breitbart, the Make America Awesome PAC, which ran the smear ad in Utah about Melania’s nude modeling, is run by political consultant Liz Mair.
Unfortunately, Mair isn’t that bright. On Make America Awesome’s website, it tells potential donors, “If you would like to donate by mail, send checks to: Make America Awesome PO Box 26141 Alexandria, VA 22313.”
Problem: P.O. Box 26141 is also the mailing address for Carly for America, the official organization for Fiorina’s former presidential campaign. It’s since been re-purposed as a general-issue political action committee.
Whoops.
Mair’s advertisement touched off a Twitter war between the Cruz and Trump campaigns over each candidate’s wives, during which Cruz has vigorously accused Trump of playing dirty. Fiorina, for her part, has been an ardent supporter of Cruz’s campaign these last few weeks, linking the original smear ad back to Cruz for the first time.
The smear advertisement against Melania (it’s disgusting and underhanded enough that we’re not going to show it here; I assure you that you can find it easily enough on Facebook if you’re so inclined) also managed to incur the wrath of some liberals who felt that it was “shaming” Melania.
Mair was open about the fact that she didn’t actually believe in the ad’s content, she just wanted to win.
…and we have indicators that for them, Melania posing nude is disturbing and bothersome. I'm fine w her having done it, but they're not.

And if that wasn’t enough, here’s a more succinct summation of Mair’s moral scruples on the issue.
.@emilycrockett I'm fine w Melania's prior work. But I'm not a Mormon woman. I also want to defeat her husband.

Lovely. Of course, you, loyal reader, could argue that Mair paid for the ads; can we really prove collaboration between Fiorina and Mair?
While we can’t definitively prove it, we can come pretty close. See, Make America Awesome’s filings with the FEC show that, on its own, the PAC doesn’t have enough money to Make America Even Slightly Different Than Before. It only lists seven donors who gave over $200, in 2015-16, for a total of only $2,000. (That will pay for the post office box, but not a whole lot more.)
Fiorina made a bold stand for women’s issues during the campaign, pointing out Hillary Clinton’s “war on women” on multiple occasions. It’s a shame to see her, acting as a surrogate for Ted Cruz, maligning Donald Trump’s wife as a sort of modern-day Jezebel to get votes.
In one simple act, both Mair and Fiorina have thrown away whatever scruples and decency they may have had. If it turns out a desperate Ted Cruz is behind this, too, we can only say the same for him.
Please like and share on Facebook and Twitter if you agree this smear campaign is disgraceful.
The sin same that is in your heart
Ben 2:25 the two of them were naked, the man and the woman, but they were not embarrassed
You verse you quoted did not come until the very end of the serpent story when God was handing out the punishment for disobeying him. Read the entire chapter before your verse.
We have truly passed the Rubicon here at FR!
It is if this is some bizarre episode of the Twilight Zone. Freeper's with Bible verses in their tag lines acting like wicked jackals breathlessly passing baseless slander and gossip. The one you responded to ( a women no less) defending a women posing naked a men's magazines for money, quoting Bible verses to show that is ok and you are the one with the problem because you say otherwise. You can't make this stuff up. No one would believe you.
It's as if some collective madness has taken hold. This is scary.
You have a wonderful day!
I agree, I rarely post on any of the election threads anymore. It has turned into an insane asylum.
The woman you are referring to accused me of having the devil in my heart, or some such nonsense. I’ll bet she has never even noticed me before and she has no idea what I am about.
Posing nude in a men's magazine is not a "higher calling". Being sexually seductive is not the face of Jesus.
I hope your day is blessed.
I cannot forever condemn people for bad decisions made before they took on adult responsibilities and chose their direction in life. I personally am not bothered by photos like that, not that I'd choose to view them. To me, there's something about the whole concept of redemption that we regard Melania or anyone with an imperfect past in terms of the person they've become and the lives they've led once making their life decisions. Melania seems to be a beautiful person, with an inner beauty that keeps her young. Has anyone faulted her as a wife and mother?
In my view, it's Heidi that has a more disturbing meme. She chose to be a G-S banker, working on global trade deals that have impoverished US workers. She's still on leave, so it isn't her past.
We have different views on things. You're not going to change, and neither am I.
You mentioned the only two possibilities that make any sense. Could be one or the other, but it could be a package deal for both. Like that old Certs commercial, paraphrased...
“Two, two, two crimes in one”
It is perfectly possible to perform these services without comingling resources or funds. Attorneys, accountants, and other professionals routinely act as representatives for dozens of clients simultaneously without comingling issues. Your "rectal audit" would probably conclude in a couple of hours as you were shown the controls in place to keep activity segregated and you'd be forced to conclude that there is no comingling problem here.
Sure.....all above board....we trust everybody concerned, right?
Nudity is only a sin in the heart of the luster An child who ran down our church aisle while mom was trying to change his diaper is innocent to most people but not to pedophiles
If you lust after nudity it is your issue
Look within your own heart and do not judge others
I don’t disagree with the concept of redemption. After all we are all sinners.
Just confusing how Trump supporters will forgive Trump for everything he’s done but constantly attack Cruz.
Trumps wife is externally beautiful. I haven’t seen anything to demonstrate an “inner beauty”. Every appearance has been carefully choreographed. From public sources Trump was dating her while he was still married. Thats a significant downcheck in my book. Certainly worthy of forgiveness but do we forget?
Is a person with a history of sleeping with a married man and nude modeling worth of being a role model? Seems she has some explaining to do first.
Trump gives a good speech He can work a crowd brilliantly. His wife obviously spends an enormous amount of money on her appearance.
I keep asking; what has Trump actually done to warrant support from supposed conservatives? He has no record of ever doing anything for conservatives. He has a long record of supporting liberal causes.
Satan is the tempter (temptress) of man. You need to stop Scripture twisting to defend evil. She displayed her body to tempt men. You cannot justify that. I am shocked at your repeated attempts to do so. I pray the scale that blinds you will be removed from your eyes.
Matthew 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Not necessarily. He could hold off to ensnare far more suckers before pulling the net in.
You are telling someone to “not judge others” but if you look back at #89 on this thread you will see that you judged me.
That was ugly and rude and that is what FR has become and it disappoints me terribly.
I can look at her picture an not lust I view it as art
I can look at a male Olympic swimmer and not lust (my friend cannot)
I can view naked baby pictures and not lust.
Lusting is an individual problem created by different things in different people If you must lust it is not my issue whether it’s a woman, man, child. It is between you and God. Only you and the puritans and those with puritanical beliefs insist that the body be covered from neck to toe. By the way did you catch the picture of Hidey in Utah with the Mormon undergarment on under her very modest street dress. top came up to chin, sleeves to fingertips. Unreal.
What a twisted mind some people have! LOL
If my comments offend you the shoe must fit
If the shoe doesn’t fit ignore it !
You are not a man or a lesbian.
Jezebel and Delilah weren't doing God's work and neither was Melania when she stripped off her clothes.
If your church passes around GQ on Sunday morning and the Pastor has no problem with it seek out a church based on Scripture.
Posing naked to tempt men is not something that can be justified as wholesome. I am disgusted that you are trying to absolve sin using God's word. Tempting men with your naked body is sin. Get over it.
You talk with your pastor and I will with mine Have a good day. Don’t forget to ask for forgiveness!
FR has always been a place where family values and God's Word are honored. This election cycle has become a circus of lunacy.
There are FReepers who are out of here until after the election. I can only be here now and then. Look around and see who's missing.
You have a nice day, Ditter. I'm done for today.
Buh bye!
