Ted Cruz is hoping Rush Limbaugh can push him over the top in next Tuesday's New Hampshire Republican primary. Here's a spot that the senator from Texas is running on a Boston sports radio station, using the conservative yakker's words to brand Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, who holds a slight edge in the race for second place, as a pro-amnesty hypocrite:
Rush Limbaugh: "If you're looking for the Republican candidate who is the most steadfastly opposed to liberalism, whose agenda is oriented toward stopping it and thwarting it and defeating it, it's Ted Cruz."
Narrator: "Rush is right. It's Ted Cruz who's led our fights in Washington. To secure our border. To stop taxpayer-funded benefits for illegal immigrants. And it was Cruz who stood up for us against the Washington establishment. When the Gang of Eight proposed amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants, it was wrong. Ted Cruz fought them. But what about Marco Rubio? When Rubio ran for Senate, he made this pledge:
Marco Rubio: "I will never support it, never have and never will support any effort to grant blanket legalization amnesty."
Rush Limbaugh: "That's what he said. It's not what he did. It was Marco Rubio that was a member of the Gang of Eight, and Ted Cruz that wasn't."
Narrator: Ted Cruz, the only one we can trust."

LOL....this puts Rush in quite the conundrum, doesn’t it?? Which amnesty PAC paid candidate does he choose??? Oh noes :)
I love seeing CRuzers hail the word of Jimmah!!
Very telling :D
Go Jimmah.....keep talking....Trump’s numbers go up, when you do!!
ROTFLMAO!
Rush is talking about Rubio now explaining it all. ;^)
Man what are you smoking?
You like Rubio?????????
Yes! Another smart move by Cruz.
Rick Santorum backed Rubio but when questioned could not name one accomplishment Rubio had in the Senate. Not one.
No, he has not.
Poor Rush....he’s being pulled from that fence, in two directions :D
?? Nope.
RUSH can’t say anymore that he’s not endorsing a candidate if he doesn’t disavow this AD
Post 31 is for you.
That’s what I would think - these aren’t words from someone at a public event, they’re words taken from Limbaugh’s (copyrighted) radio show. Does Cruz even have the legal right to use these clips without Limbaugh’s permission - or has Limbaugh GIVEN him permission?
Cheap insults is all you’ve got. LOL @ you.
~~Go Trump Go~~~~Go Trump Go~~~~Go Trump Go~~~~Go Trump Go~~

LOL!!
Is this the same Rush that’s preaching how rock solid conservative Rubio is?
Thought so.
Are you serious? Jimmy Carter supporting Trump is a good thing?
He basically said he’s for Trump because Cruz can’t be bought or changed on core values.
So you think one of the worst Dem presidents in history ... until Obama took the throne ... is an excellent endorsement for Trump.
Well, Okay then.
You are a fine person to criticize someone else’s posts. You go on every thread saying ‘Go Trump Go.’
You consider that substantive?
Ted Cruz is the only candidate who doesn’t change positions daily.
Yesterday, Trump was spitting bullets. He was gonna sue Ted, by gosh, yes he was.
Today, oh, I’ve forgotten all that ... and Ted is a fine fellow...I might take him for my veep.
Trump is not exactly a model of stability, is he?
