She’ll get that money back in a couple of days.
I have listened to Rush for a lot of years. I have heard him say he doesn't care who wins, and that he never endorses, and never goes negative on a candidate that has a chance of being the R nominee.
Towards the end of February, I actually stopped listening to him for two and a half months because he broke his own promise. Although not endorsing him, he flat out carried his water, and tried to destroy Trump for those months. He mischaracterized, exaggerated, left things out deleterious to Cruz, it was embarrassing.
I only started listening again the past month or so, and although he is still pretty good, although he has nominally joined the Trump train, I simply do not trust him as I did for the twenty years prior.
He was wrong, he blew it and he owes his audience an apology.
First order of business: A US President can’t be foreign born!
When is Cruz up for reelection?
‘In fairness, I don’t disagree that Rush admired Cruz over his conservative principles. What Conservative didn’t?’
Anyone with the slightest shred of a conservative principle is working as hard as they can right now to defeat Hillary. That leaves Cruz out—unless he’s said something that I missed?
2018
Dunno, no way to verify or deny it, and a foreign bank isn't going to release any info. As an aside, John Roberts was photographed carrying a brief case into a Crete bank.
I don’t know, I think he’d be open to bribery. His principles seem fluid.
Ted Cruz is a danger to the Republic. He should be removed from the Senate and expelled from this country as soon as possible. I guarantee you his meeting with Obama and Hillary and Jared was productive for him politically and not just in exchange for his refusal to endorse Trump.
His father was a known communist collaborator with the Castro regime. That is a known fact. Ted is no American citizen. Born in a foreign nation of foreign citizen parents, who had repatriated to Canada. He has not lived with his wife for many YEARS. A lying fraud.
Good riddance to the betraying and manipulative judas mole.
“If you ever followed my comments you would know I’ve been a Trump AND Cruz supporter practically from the get-go.”
Well, I haven’t followed your comments, and to tell you the truth, I’ve never even noticed your handle, despite your old sign up date. Perhaps you just don’t comment very often. Dunno.
If you supprted Trump AND Cruz during the primary, you fall within the great big middle of the FR community. Most Freepers held onto some shred of hope for Ted for the longest time. I did, too, for a time, but that diminished week by week, as I began to learn more about him.
In fact, I jumped in with both feet to support Ted when he announced. He was my Senator, and I’d voted to help him get to Washington. I even donated money to his presidential campaign four times. That’s something I’ve never done for any politician. But due to Ted’s performance in the primary, I went from 100% to 0% support for him, within twelve months.
When he comes up for re-election, I will be donating to his primary challenger.
As for Rush, you’re free to think whatever you like about him. I used to get angry when people called him an entertainer. I traded a lot of harsh words with others on his behalf. But Rush has moved my personal opinion needle, just as Ted did. Just not quite so much, and not nearly as fast. In my view, El Rushbo is a mere shadow of his former self. He’s passed the long plateau of his radio career, and is now on the downhill side. As a loyal listener of 18 years, that’s my observation.
“I think Cruz’ purpose was to talk big and loud about THE CONSTITUTION, THE CONSTITUTION, THE CONSITUTION!!! and then sneak in the globalist TPP trade deal.”
Exactamundo!
I’m gonna tell you something. As I began to learn (and discover) more and more about Ted, a curious discomfort began to come over me. There were just too many eerie parallels between his life track, and Obama’s. Others noticed it, too. Some have even taken the time and effort to create side by side comparisons of the two.
The intersecting points between them are so numerous, it’s hard to keep from thinking that the two of them were groomed by the same master, with the same end goals in mind.
With the events of the last week as a cherry on top, I’m now convinced that that’s the case.
You know, more and more people are beginning to believe in what was called “conspiracy theories” just a few years ago. Conspiracies must have been going on since the pharos. Wherever there are places where powerful people meet (like Washington, for example) you are going to see conspiracies because that is just the way it works. Power hungry people have learned that they can get away with more if they are sneaky about it so they are secretive about their underhanded plans.
I used to believe the Warren Commission but I don’t believe it now. Look at the assassinations and assassination attempts since 1963. John Kennedy was killed in 1963, Robert Kennedy was killed in 1968, Martin Luther King was killed in 1968, then Gerald Ford was shot at around 1975 and there was the assassination attempt on Reagan in 1981. John F. Kennedy Jr. was killed when his plane went down over the ocean which may or may not have been an assassination. Ted Kennedy also had a small plane accident that he survived. You can eliminate the two plane crashes because it can’t be proven but that still leaves JFK, RFK, MLK, Gerald Ford and Reagan—five assassinations or assassination attempts between 1963 and 1981.
I get the sneaking suspicion that the “Dominionist” preaching that Ted’s father does is intended to spread confusion within the church. It might be a pseudo conservative version of “Liberation Theology”. Dominionism may be a way of co-opting the conservative Christians, Cruz was the ideal leader of a new movement because he was “anointed”(cough,cough).
FDR said a long time ago, “There is no such thing as coincidence in politics.”
If it looks suspicious (Cruz rides Air Force One just days before the convention), it’s because there’s real skulduggery afoot.
He was so rude to Trump callers as to embarrass me. If you watched his ditto cam you would understand what I mean. I have been a Rush listener since I discovered him SoCal. I have been a 24/7 member since the first day he announced it because he hinted at a 4th hour for members.
Rush is a globalist. His job was to talk conservative but to keep away from the issues that the globalists want—their big trade deals and their corporatist control of Washington.
It was just one lady, looked like code pink.
