Rubio: Cruz 'lying about all sorts of things'

White House hopeful Marco Rubio ripped rival Ted Cruz at Saturday's presidential debate for a "pattern" of telling lies, particularly about immigration reform.

"This is a disturbing pattern now. For a number of weeks Ted Cruz has just been telling lies," Rubio said. "He's lying about all sorts of things and now he's just making things up."

The Florida senator said that Cruz had lied "about Ben Carson in Iowa," referring to the Carson campaign's accusations that Cruz's campaign spread false rumors during the caucuses that the retired neurosurgeon was dropping out of the presidental race.

Rubio's comments came as he and the Texas Republican battled over their stance in a 2013 fight in the Senate over a wide-ranging immigration reform bill.

Cruz has repeatedly knocked Rubio for working with Democrats, calling the "Gang of Eight" bill the "Rubio-Schumer amnesty plan," referring to Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), who is expected to be the next Democratic leader.

"The question for anyone on illegal immigration, is where were you in that fight," Cruz added.

Rubio, however, has pointed to amendments that the Texas senator pushed that removed a path to citizenship from the bill but kept work permits.

Asked about his tactics on the Senate's immigration bill, which ultimately stalled in the House, Cruz has said that the amendments were meant to expose Democrats' "bluff" and ultimately undermine the Gang of Eight bill.

Rubio wasn't alone at the South Carolina event in accusing Cruz of lying. Donald Trump also said Cruz "is the single biggest liar. ...This guy will say anything."

I like Trump, and I like that he tweaks the nose of the establishment, but he turns me off when he goes overboard with the insults.

You know what? I just dug into this again, and the loans apparently we're disclosed publicly on a form filed by Cruz in July 2012, weeks before the primary runoff election. So, I stand (happily) corrected. Here's a link to the time-stamped document itself in case anyone else cares to check for themselves:

I will not defend Rubio or his record, but I will wholeheartedly agree that Ted Cruz is a liar to the core.

[Just mythoughts]

Really ..?? You have no clue what you’re talking about. Cruz did not call McConnell a LIAR just for the heck of it (the way Rubio is doing to Cruz now). NO, Cruz called McConnell a LIAR .. because McConnell did lie to Cruz about a certain bill, and later Cruz found out the truth about what was in the bill (that McConnell had hid from Cruz). If you’re going to call somebody a liar .. be sure you have your FACTS straight. And .. Rubio is the one who spread the rumor about Carson .. because he saw a story from CNN .. yeah, it was CNN who started it; Rubio picked up on it .. and then it went on down the line. But, Cruz did NOT START IT. So, again, we have caught Rubio in a lie.

And you believe Cruz? I have yet to hear the actual lie, and Cruz claiming somebody lied is merely an accusation without evidence... Cruz is not a 'natural born' US citizen... so he lies worse than Obama!

A Harvard Law Schooled lawyer is the last person on God’s green earth that overlooks anything.... Everything a lawyer does is calculated... Cruz overlooked nothing...

I think a lot of people have caught on to Ted and that’s why he’s stuck at 20% in SC.

I doubt they’re all that worried. Trump signaled a while ago that he’s on their side. Between endorsing McConnell, attacking Cruz for not getting along with McConnell, and his belief in the importance of making more deals with the establishment of both parties , Trump seems pretty willing to be on their side.

[SubMareener]

I see you point! After the debate last night I have decided that I really do want a consistent conservative and the only one in the race is Ted Cruz!

[CyberAnt]

Well, you’re LYING ABOUT CRUZ. He was born of a mother who was a natural born citizen .. that automatically makes him a “natural born citizen”. PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!

ROTFLOL .. you are so stupid.

Too stupid to argue with. Goodbye.

[Jane Austen]

Both of Rubio’s parents were Cubans when he was born. He is not a natural born citizen. His support for Gang of Eight shows he has no loyalty to the USA. He has accomplished nothing. Surely we can do better than this zero as to who runs for POTUS!

Cruz did not lie, During the Amnesty fight:
Rubio was for Amnesty, to the point he sponsored the bill.
Cruz was against the Bill. Cruz offered an amendment calling Schumer and Rubio’s bluff on wanting to bring illegals out of the shadows.
Rubio is the one using the language of the amendment as if Cruz supported it, when it was used to defeat the amnesty bill.

Rubio it the one lying.

Well, you’re LYING ABOUT CRUZ. He was born of a mother who was a natural born citizen .. that automatically makes him a “natural born citizen”. PERIOD !!!!!!!!!! ROTFLOL .. you are so stupid. Too stupid to argue with. Goodbye.

It serves NO purpose for me to LIE...

I will not get down in your mud pit...

I am not a "natural born" US citizen... I was born in Germany. My parents both were/are "natural born" US citizens... But the only way they could bequeath me a "natural born" US citizenship was to have birthed me on US soil.

Both Cruz and Rubio are 'claim jumpers', thinking they are entitled to something of which neither have a legitimate claim. It takes TWO US citizen parents birthing a child on US soil to be a 'natural born' US citizen..

Some people are just plain born to believe deception.

[CyberAnt]

Well, I don’t know anything about Rubio’s parents. But, if at least one of them is not a natural born citizen, then he should not be allowed to run for President .. and I want to know why nothing is being done about that ..??

But, he’s the pet of the GOP-e so I guess that changes everything. Only the Conservative with Cuban heritage is in question ..???? Okay, I get it.
