Pro-Huckabee SuperPAC Takes Aim At Cruz's Faith in New Ad
NBC News ^ | January 27, 2016 | Vaughn Hillyard and Carrie Dann

Posted on 01/27/2016 2:15:58 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

A new ad questioning Ted Cruz's commitment to his religious faith will hit Iowa airwaves Wednesday, just days before the high-stakes Iowa caucus.

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

In the ad, which was created by a superPAC backing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, two women discuss Cruz's reported comments on gay marriage and what they call his paltry donations to churches and charities.

"I heard something about Ted Cruz -- that gay marriage wouldn't be a top priority for him?" says one woman. The other replies "He said it at a fundraiser in New York City. He tells them one thing -- tells Iowans another."(continued)

And yet he ignores Trump, a man who owns/owned casinos and a strip club. Typical Huckabee, out to be a hitman against another candidate despite having no chance of winning on his own.

The GOPe Rinos gnash their teeth and sit on the sidelines, full of jealousy and rage.

“There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out.

Luke 13:28

But Huck has nothing to say about Trump’s claim to be a Christian?

He’s being paid to attack Cruz, not Trump.

Huck allowing himself to be used like this lowers my opinion of Huck, just like negative from any candidate reflects more on the candidate than the target.

Same questioner: “So would you say it’s like a top-three priority for you — fighting gay marriage?”

Cruz: “No. I would say defending the Constitution is a top priority. And that cuts across the whole spectrum — whether it’s defending [the] First Amendment, defending religious liberty, stopping courts from making public policy issues that are left to the people.

Cruz answers that the top priority is defending the Constitution which covers defining marriage.

Yet, the Huckster continues to lie, lie, lie, lie, lie.

There was a release of tax information for the years 2006-2010.

Do you put your church offerings on your taxes?

Trump has billions and donates a lower percentage than Cruz.

Remember during the last debate when Trump made that stirring speech about the 9/11 first responders in response to Cruz's "New York Values" comment? I'll bet all the Trump supporters were so proud about how much Trump supported those first responders. But did he really?

"In the aftermath of the 2001 terror attack on the World Trade Center, Donald Trump, a billionaire son of New York City, did not make a single charitable donation to any of the not-for-profit groups that provided aid to survivors, rescue workers, or the families of cops and firemen who died trying to save others, Internal Revenue Service records show.

Since 2001, the Trump foundation's tax returns contain a single donation that is identifiable with a 9/11 charity. In 2006, Trump gave $1000 to a controversial Scientology program that administered treatment to firemen who inhaled toxins while working on the World Trade Center pile. The New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Fund, co-founded by actor Tom Cruise, relied on a "Purification Rundown" invented by L. Ron Hubbard, the crackpot founder of Scientology."

And you really want to make an issue over whether or not Cruz gave as much to his church as you think he should have?

Never met the man. But if I did I would be prepared for the aroma of Vitalis and Old Spice.
