Except he didn’t quit. You guys keep ignoring that little fact. Easily disprovable if a non-sleazy candidate picks up the phone and calls his fellow candidate. I notice Trump and all the other candidates (aside from Rubio) didn’t run around proclaiming Carson left the election. And why would he leave? Common sense would say he’d stay in at least past the caucus. From his point of view, it makes no sense.

So, your contention is that any time there is a negative news report about a candidate, other candidates should check with the candidate first before repeating the story?

And you support TRUMP?? King of the "they say," "I heard," "people are saying" weasel-word method of spreading rumors?

No, only major announcements like they’re leaving the campaign to pursue a different line of work. Seems like good sense to me if not to Cruz geniuses.

You have a history of inability to comprehend like the TPP. The men I served with and especially those this nation lost, which was quite was quite a few, paid too high a price for Cruz and his old man to lie and further sell us out. BTW, several of the men I know say Rubio’s brother was SF.I will look it up. I had no idea.

No, it’s Cruz responsibility not to lie and cheat a candidate out of his fair share of votes. That shouldn’t be too much to ask of the smartest person - outside of Hillary Clinton, that is - to run for office.

Mario Rubio did serve in Special Forces. He was in the 7th Group. My friends are usually correct. He is quite older then Marco.

Good job on your history. You probably weren’t even born when that took place. Many supported Castro until he showed his real colors Kind of like Trump.....

What about, say, speculation that a candidate is not eligible to run for President? Should other candidates check that one out before circulating that rumor?

How about rumors that a candidate received "very low interest" loans for their campaign? Should those be checked out first?

Point is, your candidate will spread any news, any rumor, any bit of information--true or false, verified or not--about anyone who gets in his way.

I see I am getting under your skin. One of life’s small pleasures.

A notion is a belief, a fact not so much. I am surprised that you are having trouble with that. All the ad hominem in the universe isn’t going to change that.

I take it by your outrage that you did not support Trumps slandering of the good Dr. I’ll take you at your word on that. But it does lead to an obvious question. Was Trumps slandering of Dr. Carson as a psychopath admirable politics while the Cruz campaigns repeating a news report an immoral act worthy of shunning?

Your voter fraud assertion is simply asinine. Repeating or disseminating press reports is covered by the First Amendment S is Trumps slanderous speech regarding Carson.

Good luck in NH!

I think I have a higher opinion of Iowa conservative voters than some. Voters motivated enough to attend the Caucuses do not seem like the type to be led around like sheep. Dr. Carson outperformed his average poll numbers by about 2%.

What did you think of it when Trump railed about Carson being a psychopath with homicidal tendencies which drove Carson’s numbers down in Iowa from about 30 to 9%?

“Cruz is sleazy”

I think Carson owes Ted an apology: http://thefivepilgrims.com/2016/02/03/a-quick-fact-sheet-of-the-cruz-carson-controversy/

I apologize if this is already being discussed on FR threads, but I browsed and didn’t see it jump out at me. This is about Jeff Roe, from 2010:


Quote: “””An e-mail sent to news media outlets and a “tweet” issued by a fake Twitter account announced that Eckersley had suspended his campaign due to personal reasons.

Eckersley blames his opponent, Republican Billy Long, for sending out the hoax days before the election.

“You know this is dirty politics. This is Jeff Roe-style management. “””

http://www.missourinet.com/2010/10/29/eckersley-calls-e-mail-a-hoax-says-hes-still-in-the-race-audio/


An old Jeff Roe trick....most recently used by Ted Cruz. Mr. Cruz probably doesn’t realize who he has working for him - or doesn’t care.

I agree. Looks like the same Cruz groupies always say the same BS.
