... You have below zero credibility. And clearly no shame at all at stinkin’ up the joint around here.

Thank you for your kind words. I have noticed you always call for backups when you post to me, thank you for that also. None of what you said disputes the fact that super PACS can raise unlimited money, indeed individuals give millions of dollars to PACS.

I never did an opus. The moderators put it on my thread. I used to like your guy and defend him. Funny how the precious snowflakes on FR cannot tolerate anyone who does not agree with them and takes their que from Trump and trash all who do not support him. That is why Trump appears to have now hit his ceiling. We will soon know if he can break it.

‘(via audio recording):
“If you hit your max then we have a table for you that is the unlimited table,” Keet Lewis, a bundler for the campaign and co-host of a Dec. 30 fundraiser in Dallas, says on the recording provided to POLITICO. “It can take corporate dollars, it can take partnership dollars, and that’s the super PAC, Stand for Truth, so pick up some of that information.” (link)’

So your theory is that this isn’t really a Cruz bundler, talking about reaching donor max and an alternate PAC? It’s a hoax?

The bigger story is that the Establishment Super PAC was set up for Cruz with massive Establishment donors BEFORE the Primary race began.

Yes, the panic and feverish effort to set up the fix was in as soon as Trump came down the escalator. The whole stinking corrupt Uniparty system needs to be obliterated. Why voters do not understand that the corrupt political criminal enterprise is the problem most threatening to the future of this country is dumbfounding to me.

But, of course, Ted will not be beholden to anyone once he claws his reptilian way into office.

Now, now Miss M, don't you think you're being a little harsh on all those more honorable reptilians?!?

To properly atone, I encourage you to watch this episode of 'Untalkative Bunny' and how we can ALL get along with our reptilian friends ... ;)

You used to watch cartoons on Saturday morning didn't you?

I think you'll enjoy this ... lol :)

Try addressing the issue of the PAC working with Cruz being a McConnell related PAC. Mitch and Ted, a sideshow meant to trick the public.

Super PACs don't have the same restrictions that individuals have in donations, money
gathering for candidates. Here are three Super PACs that have been onboard for Cruz since back
in 2015. Their orginal start up money was millions from three different groups in TX.

KEEP THE PROMISE PACS

 

Mid-year reports (to June 30, 2015) Receipts
Disbursements
COH

[FEC] Keep the Promise PAC
  $  1,826,500.00 $96,944.26 $  1,729,555.74

[FEC]
Keep the Promise I
$11,007,096.00 $536,169.90 $10,470,926.10

[FEC]
Keep the Promise II
$10,000,000.00
-
$10,000,000.00

[FEC]
Keep the Promise III
$15,000,000.00 $5,025.00
$14,994,975.00






Keep the Promise I - $11,000,000 from Robert Mercer, co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund.
Keep the Promise II - $10,000,000 from Toby Neugebauer, co-founder of Quantum Energy Partners, a Houston private equity firm.
Keep the Promise III - $15,000,000 from the Wilks family: $5,000,000 each from Farris and Jo Ann Wilks, and $2,500,000 each from Daniel and Staci Wilks.  Farris and Daniel Wilks are brothers, based in Texas, who founded Frac Tech, and sold the firm in May 2011 for $3.5 billion according to Forbes.

I followed the same progression you did. Now the puzzle pieces all fit so nicely. One of them is why didn't Cruzers go after Kasich vigorously when he was still under the radar? Their answers made no sense. Now we know for sure that Kasich is part of the nomination-stealing game. The only ones Cruz went after are the true outsiders, after playing them as long as he could.....Trump, Carson, Rubio (yeah, Rubio)

My big unanswered question was from one of the ubibquitous, omnipresent, and totally annoying campaign donation solicitations. If I would give whatever I could to Cruz, it would be matched three-to-one by a generous donor! I wanted to know who that generous donor was and if that was a violation of campaign law. They weren't donating in my name, and the campaign has upward limits to individual donations, so wouldn't that money be going through a PAC? Shouldn't I know who's donating in my name? Isn't that campaign coordination with a PAC?

I never got an answer. I wish someone in the Trump campaign would answer my emails. I questioned what's going on about that and in February how the "Trump slate" in Cuyahoga County had been filled in secret as near as I could figure.

Anyway, after all this, I've descended to "find a way to put Cruz in prison".

Bill Mitchell ‏@mitchellvii 10h10 hours ago

That Paul Ryan "Running For President" ad was a shot across Cruz's bow that the GOPe has NO INTENTION of giving him the Nomination.

****************************************

Bill Mitchell ‏@mitchellvii 3h3 hours ago

The GOPe is staffing, endorsing and financing Cruz as IF he's their guy - BUT Paul Ryan is airing POTUS ads? Oh Ted, you are their DUFF.

'Backups'? It's called a *ping* list you ding-dong.

None of what you said disputes the fact that super PACS can raise unlimited money, indeed individuals give millions of dollars to PACS.

Dispute the story which was first published on Politico then. Your reaction is the typical knee jerk reflex we've all come to expect from frenzied Cruz Worshipers.

I never did an opus. The moderators put it on my thread. I used to like your guy and defend him.

I doubt that. I never saw anything but venom from you about Trump.

Funny how the precious snowflakes

"PRECIOUS SNOWFLAKES" ?!!? Oh BWHHAHA!!

LibbyBooHoo, that phrase should have been *invented* just for you. "Who put the snow in the snowflake, YOU did baby, YOU did!"

...on FR cannot tolerate anyone who does not agree with them and takes their que from Trump and trash all who do not support him. That is why Trump appears to have now hit his ceiling. We will soon know if he can break it.

You've been zotted at least three times. Maybe you view that as the FR equivalent of accidentally sticking your finger in a live electrical outlet, i.e. "oh you didn't mean to do that"?

Thanks for the cheap laughs this morning, usually I'd pay a cover charge for this kind of entertainment.

Try the veal baby, it's delish!

Sketchy Ted Cruz.

Cheating Ted Cruz.

Lyin’ Ted Cruz.

Anyone detecting a pattern here?


All childish name calling would be the pattern

It is not name calling when it is true.

But, carry on.

Photos can be misleading in how things are projected. I don't know how tall Heidi Cruz is but she
must be very short. The photo makes her look real short when compared to the 5'8" tall Edward.

Nobody’s wearing a gorgeous stainless halo in this race; not Donald, not Ted, none of the others.

I’m more disappointed to see Ted looking that way given the potential he had, than to see others looking that way. From him who receives much, much is expected.

I pray that the Lord brings great wisdom to all the parties of this race. As it is, they will do things with varying degrees of honesty or dishonesty, and will make accusations with varying degrees of accuracy or inaccuracy. And the smell will continue to linger over US politics even when the ones who did not formally win have gone their way. It’s rancid already and is slowly getting worse.

Donald would have more hope if he began to listen better to the potential participants in his populist parade. I don’t think all America that might support the agenda that he is assembling, is fond of his over-the-top WWE demeanor, even though he’s garnered a plurality. I hope this dawns on his campaign managers and that they will be courageous enough not to just be yes-men to Donald.

For Ted to re-embrace the Lord in public view and show consequences from this in the manner he insists his campaign carry on, would also be a salutary thing for this race. There’s no need for him to wear God on his sleeve, or at least not only there; his heart is the proper place for that.
