Cruz's father: 'Check the fruit' before voting
WND ^ | 2/7/2016 | PAUL BREMMER

Posted on 02/07/2016 6:23:23 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Rafael Cruz, the father of GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, is warning Americans to do some serious fruit-checking before they vote this election season.

"There are many campaign conservatives - people that will tell you what you want to hear," Cruz said during a recent interview on the Jesse Lee Peterson Show. "What I recommend is stop listening to the rhetoric, look at their record. Stop listening to what they say. Look at what they've done and what they do.

"Jesus put it this way: 'You shall know them by their fruits.' Check the fruit."

Cruz believes if voters examine the fruits his son Ted has borne, they will see they can trust him. He noted Ted has been at the forefront of many battles, such as the fight to repeal Obamacare, the fight to preserve the Second Amendment, and the fight for the right to life.

Jesse Lee Peterson, the host, told Rafael how much he values Ted's principled stands in the Senate.

"I think most Americans appreciate the way he stood up to the RINO Republicans and others who would not deal with Barack Obama the proper way, just allowing him to do whatever he wants," said Peterson, a WND columnist and author of "The Antidote." "For me, that stood out like nothing else. I do appreciate that."

The elder Cruz, who authored the new book "A Time for Action: Empowering the Faithful to Reclaim America," replied that's the very reason so many Washington insiders dislike Ted, because he exposes the establishment.

Every Republican candidate is a conservative until after the election.

And voters fall for it over and over.

He went on to say, “if someone claims something isn’t lying, but the ‘wise use of words,’ they ain’t got no fruit.”

The Book of Cruz

For the Lord has sent unto us a messiah from Havana by way of Calgary yeah unto the very gates of Austin.

We only have to believe and accept Cruz into our hearts and we will be saved and Cruz will heal our nation. Yea send him unto the very gates of the heathens in Washington. He will smite the liberals and smite the GOPes and yea even the RINOs, and yea they will feel his mighty power.

He will be seated on a mighty throne in Washington and the members of Congress and yea even the priests of the Supreme Court and the hoards of bureaucrats shall bow their knee unto to him. For he is the mighty Cruz and the Deliverer and Defender of the Constitution.

For the Lord has sent us a mighty naturalized citizen from Canada unto the United States to deliver us from our wicked ways. He shall show us the true way as none other. Woe unto those with New York values. For they are an abomination unto his eyes.

For unto him and his followers the Lord has shown the true way of conservatism. All others shall be cast into the lake of fire.

Yea only believe and the mighty and true Cruz will deliver us from abomination. /s

This fairy tale brought to you by Goldman Sachs.

We now return you to our regular programing.

Go Trump!

Must be talking about Lindsey Graham. Even though he’s not running anymore.

Trump’s fruit is the issues he put on the table that the media forced to discuss.

I agree. I phrased it badly. I mean everyone appears to be a conservative before an election. Cruz is the only presidential candidate proven to be a conservative AFTER the election.

His life was crap. He found Christ. You mock him and consequently what being a true, saved Christian (as spoken about by Jesus in the New Testament) is all about and what effect it will have on one’s life.

Bravo.
