Indignant about the allegations? Yes.
Fighting to protect his “honor and character” in Court? No. Wonder why. It’s been almost a week. Lawsuits can be filed almost immediately. But, not here. Strange. Very strange.

The Enquirer said there are rumors, we don’t know if they are true blah, blah, blah.

So what on earth could Cruz sue over?

[BuckeyeTexan]

No. No strange.

Cruz cannot sue NE for libel based on incorrect, harmful allegations that damaged his reputation. He is a public figure. To prevail in a libel case, Cruz would have to prove that NE acted with malice and knew the allegations to be false.

Because the article is very, very carefully worded to protect NE against lawsuits. That is what they do. No names,named. Private detectives are digging into at least five affairs Ted Cruz supposedly had,” claimed a Washington insider. Private detectives digging. Supposedly had. Claimed nameless insider.

Sets the gossips to twittering, but no grounds for a lawsuit since it does not ACTUALLY accuse him of having am affair or affairs. And there is no one to question about sources. Nasty, ugly marriage and career destroying innuendo with no concrete way to counter it.

If you deny it those who wish you ill will not believe and will continue to spread the rumors and speculate and create “proof” out of thin air. If you do not deny it, then those who wish you ill, will say your lack of denial means the rumors are true and spend hours celebrating your downfall.

The way politics are going no decent human being will be willing to run for office and risk his/her family and reputation. Even if the candidate is pure as driven snow all it takes is one article in National Inquirer full of words like “supposed” and “rumored” by unnamed “insiders” to ruin that candidate's reputation. We will be left with only the scum of the earth as politicians, because only they have no regard for their reputation.
