I am aware of what he said. But I follow actions, not words. Cruz now has a history of saying one thing for the “camera”, and something quite the opposite in private sessions.

I used to like him, but did a lot of research, and, disappointed, now longer trust what he says, which is whatever will advance his political ambition, and bring in the “ft cat” money to his campaign.

I am old enough to have learned this the hard way, believe me. His antics in Iowa, and now on the ground in S.C. should give anyone who isn’t a camp follower pause.

I hate the messianic tone he uses, and I am devout. He is a pharisee in my opinion, but I am not to judge, and could be wrong - I just use my common sense.

All politicians have different talking points on stage vs. private conversations. e.g. Romney’s 49%

All politicians try to appeal to the voting block they are seeking. e.g. DT TWO Corinthians to show his biblical knowledge but who would believe he does personal devotions?

The Iowa / Carson thing is way over blown. Anti Cruz folks are caterwalling about it, I’m not discounting it but I do understand all political campaigns seize on things for political advantage.

DT’s and Rubio’s liar liar pants on fire schtick is cover fire for their own positions and record.

The tell is when people that cannot muster a defense start calling their opponents liars.

Leave the liar tripe for where it’s deserved, Clinton and Obama.
