Will the latest news about Ted Cruz hurt his chances for the 2016 GOP nomination? Click to learn the betting odds for the junior Texas senator and other contenders for the Oval Office.
When Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was a teenager, he was caught doing teenage things, as revealed in documents obtained by BuzzFeed.
In his application to become Texas solicitor general, Cruz was required to list any prior convictions. That included one "guilty plea for minor in possession of alcohol."
Apparently when Cruz was a high school senior in 1987, authorities found an unopened case of beer in his vehicle. They gave him a ticket....

You got away lightly, Pal. Sounds like you were a more serious delinquent than Ted. Turn yourself in now before your guilt eats you alive!
lol x 4
For the purpose of tearing down a Republican watch liberals all become tea totalitarians for a few days.
Is that 24 cans all with actuated pull-tabs? One can opened?
Is there such a thing as a closed case of beer? Where the cardboard is glued against itself? Im so confused.
Such smears are like the mock outrage over toe tapping and improper texting.
They are designed to sour the social conservatives on this or that candidate (even if it just means staying home).
Consider this, we hear all the long day about how Albert Gore Junior “won” the popular vote (without a national recount) by 0.51% of the vote.
On the eve of that election, the media released a news account (October Surprise) about GW Bush’s decades old DWI arrest. It’s been shown that cost him several points on election day.

The 11th-hour campaign revelation that then-GOP presidential candidate George W. Bush had been arrested in Maine in 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol gave Al Gore the boost he needed to claim the popular vote in the 2000 presidential election, Gore’s former campaign spokesman Chris Lehane admitted late Tuesday.
“Obviously, I think it did have an impact on the election,” Lehane told WABC Radio’s John Batchelor and Paul Alexander.
“It was a very close election. All of our internal polls show that it was literally a dead heat,” the former top Goreman added. “I think there was a small percentage but a critical percentage of people who were literally themselves up in the air until the last 24 hours.
“And when the DWI story broke, for a lot of people who were on the fence trying to figure out which way to go, that sort of pushed them to towards Gore. They had real reservations about Bush’s judgment and whether he was up to the job.”
...”There is something of a mystery that has unfolded since we broke the story,” reported Fox News Channel’s Carl Cameron just four days before the election.
“And that is that part of the arrest record and the state of Maine’s documentation of George Bush’s driving record and arrest record in Maine was faxed to news agencies all over the country after we were on the air with it at 6 o’clock Eastern time.”
...The question of who was behind the blast fax effort remains a mystery, but whoever it was succeeded in turning the 2000 election into a constitutional crisis...
Did he eat dogs and attend radical madrassas? Were his mentors radical, terrorist Marxists? Was he born in Kenya?
