Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)’s America’s Liberty Super PAC is out with a new ad attacking Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) as a “Canadian” who supports President Obama on domestic surveillance extensions in the Patriot Act.
The extreme-style smackdown ad features Paul as the shirtless hero of a Sunday brawl in the Senate over the NSA and the right to privacy.
Featuring a picture of Cruz with Obama and the backdrop of a Canadian flag, the ad calls the Texas Senator a “capitulating Canadian” who is “backing Barack’s bill.”
Technically, the ad is not endorsed by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)'s campaign, but the Super PAC is endorsed by Paul and led by former campaign strategist Jesse Benton, who married into the Paul family and worked for not only Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)’s Senate campaign but also Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign.
A spokesperson for Cruz’s campaign declined to comment on the ad, the latest hit on Cruz, who was once an ally of Rand Paul’s until they both began preparing for a 2016 run for president.
The friction between the two Senators has been growing, after Cruz criticized Paul on the campaign trail for voting against the USA Freedom Act — a bill that includes restrictions on the NSA’s ability to collect phone records in bulk, but failed to earn support from privacy advocates...

Ted Cruz Ping! Rand is ready to grandstand and he is ready to be as much of a kook as his father. That’s about it.
The last couple of days have pretty much put me off of Paul. I always knew he father was a dangerous nut case and I’m beginning to think he falls into the same category.
Except that this is not misinformation. Ted Cruz unequivocally supports TPA:
http://www.cruz.senate.gov/?id=2332&p=press_release
He also supports increasing the H1B visa cap (the OUTSOURCING Visa) by 500%
Why freepers are not questioning Cruz’s stance on these Obama-backed issues, rather than calling out those who point out his stance, is beyond me.
There is no misinformation that Rand Paul welcomes gay marriage, endorses how the police were treated in Baltimore and letting the criminal element do what ever they please.
Is the birth certificate going to be a problem. Conservatives never get the concessions liberals get so what happened with Obama is irrelevant.
It is my understanding that a child born to American parents while in another country can claim either citizenship according to the parents desire. This is what happens with military personnel all the time.
Well, Rand would get better ratings if he attacked Obama on the issue instead of trolling on other right wing candidates. In fact Jeb trolled big time on Rand, so why is Rand going after Cruz? Seems like he is sucking for votes
It seems that I get a new reason every week to move Rand further down my list. He is almost across the line titled, “won’t vote for these candidates.”
Hey Rand!!
Hillary is over there dumb ass.
shessh.
Ping!
As I keep pointing out.
Rand Paul doesn’t just attack conservatives and conservatism, he creates enduring sound bites and attacks for the left and the media to use against us.
Libertarians are at war with conservatism.
Ron Paul, Rand Paul and Berney Sanders, the bopsie Triplets, the 3 stooges.
Rand Paul and his most radical supports are only in it to stir the pot ( no pun intended ) and cause trouble.
Rand Paul can not be taken seriously nor Donald Trump.
As a Paulestinian, how do you rationalize Rand standing with Yertl McConnell on so many issues? Is that like the tactic where Muslims can lie for the good of Islam? Ted Cruz has explained his stance on TPA. It’s easy to find. Every once in awhile you’re going to be on the same side as a president of an opposing party, that’s how the government works. And I love how you call H1-B the OUTSOURCING visa instead of the “helping US industry build things” visa. Even in Texas we can’t always find all the technical workers we need locally. Are you an American Indian (aka Native American) or did your family come here from somewhere else?
Except that the perceived ‘need’ is manufactured:

H1B’s are being abused like clockwork and US Citizen STEM grads can’t find jobs, because corporate america would rather hire a non-american citizen:

Not to mention H1B’s are literally the #1 driver of Islamic immigration:

Still support em?
Had another propagandist troll a few weeks ago harp on me about the supposed information that Ted Cruz wants to increase H1b visas 500%.
Nothing wrong with “ Legal “ immigration.
Why is he sending this type of stuff out?
It is months before an actual primary. Spend time on Hillary and Obama because people paying attention now are not the types to be looking for a candidate. We already have the person we back.
The Pauls are an embarrassment.
Too bad one of my best friends actually believes the nation needs a President Paul;he also is derisive of that stupid Palin and “lipstick on a pig”.Sometimes friends strain our flexibility.
The acorn does not fall far from the tree.
Guessin Rand likes being in the Congress, cause he is torpedoing everything else.
