Except that this is not misinformation. Ted Cruz unequivocally supports TPA:

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.

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

Oh yes it is.

It's called Propaganda because it uses yellow journalism tactics trying to call into question Senator Cruz's Natural Born Citizen status, but you knew that, didn't you?!?

Nice diversionary tactic though, bringing up the TPA.

BTW, I also support both the TPA and the raising the H1B cap BASED ON NEED as stated by Senator Cruz.

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?

“Why freepers are not questioning Cruz’s stance on these Obama-backed issues...”

We don’t need to question his stance, we already know he is wrong on those issues. However, if we rank issues in terms of relative importance at this point in time, those issues probably wouldn’t even crack the top twenty.

On the more important issues, Cruz is the only conservative option around, so we can’t exactly say he is disqualified because he holds the wrong position on relatively unimportant issues.

Why does Rand Paul support the Castro Regime ?

Why does Rand Paul support Obama related issues and policy towards Cuba ?

Because LOVE IS BLIND?

If you follow my posts you will discover that I have posted mostly positive stuff about many candidates. That proves I am not a robot for any candidate, and that I look at life positively and inclusively. Glass is half full, not half empty. On the other hand I have observed the most negative posts are from supporters of senator Cruz denigrating other republican candidates. You rarely see that from Walker supporters, Rubio supporters, or any other candidate supporters.

I think Cruz supporters are doing a great harm to their candidate. It is delusional to think that more people will flock to their candidate if they denigrate others. It is the worst strategy if you want to succeed in business, or in a corporation. Friends are harder to make, enemies are easier to make. If Cruz supporters are so negative about others, is senator Cruz built from the same cloth? Denigrating and excluding others? I don't think so. From what I have seen, senator Cruz is always graceful to other republicans. Policy differences for sure. But you do not see him calling others kooks or other graceless epithets.

Because they are on a honeymoon with Cruz. They cannot and will not accept that he has several flaws when it comes to issues...or if they do, they downplay the flaws as unimportant.

Interesting tho, a real double standard in my book...if Jeb had theses same positions—on Iran, the Patriot act and H-1B visas, I suspect many of these same posters they would be all over him.

I have not made up my mind for whom I will vote—still researching, and it really won’t matter as I don’t live in an early primary state—decision will be made long before I pull a lever.

However,I am very disappointed that anyone who questions is considered a troll and attacked. Seems it always gets this way around here during election season. :(

Cruz’s stance with the H-1B visas is a deal-breaker for me. It’s down to Scott Walker.
Every single person working on an H-1B visa has taken a job that an American can fill. Every single one; no exceptions.
