Lyin’ Ted, Cryin’ Glenn, Snarly Carly, and now “Silverado Neil”...

Will Mike Lee bring his own clown car or do they have one waiting for him?

For the same reason that we should ignore endorsements by Rush, Beck, Mitt, Rove and other powerful insiders, we should ignore endorsements by the crazies and by other sinners.

We should each be responsible for our own pick.

Convicted cop killer Edgar Tamayo Arias executed after Cruz fought Bush administrations request for new hearings.

Humberto Leal Garcia Jr., a Mexican national convicted of raping and killing a 16-year-old girl in 1994, was executed by lethal injection in Texas. Ted Cruz, the state’s solicitor general argued the case against President Bush’s administration push for new hearings .

Mexican national Jose Ernesto Medellin, whose death penalty conviction in the rape and murder of two teen girls sparked international controversy, was put to death in Texas after Ted Cruz argued and won the case before the Supreme Court.
President George W. Bush had reluctantly made that demand for a new hearing after an international court concluded Medellin was improperly denied access to his consulate before his original prosecution.

So Stone is now Trump’s proxy again? Let’s compare proxies!

Stone was Dole’s campaign advisor who came up with the wonderful idea of using Dole’s nomination acceptance speech to attack Pat Buchanan and immigration enforcers. Stone’s ex-wife founded Republicans for Choice. Dole’s ex-wife founded “It’s My Party PAC,” created to drive conservatives out of the Republican Party.

Neil was on the Board of Trustees of Silverado Savings and Loans. He didn’t “defraud” taxpayers of anything. Like vast numbers of S&L’s, it went under in 1991, attracting attention because of its ties to then-President George Bush. Neil was cleared of criminal wrong-doing, but was fined for making loans to business partners without a proper paper trail to identify his ties to the business partners. Suits against Silverado were settled, with Neil paying only $50,000.

Like Donald Trump, himself, Neil has business deals with China. Trump has used promises of EB-1 visas to Chinese firms in exchange for securing financing for his real estate ventures, which is highly unethical and will assuredly dog his entire presidency. Neil, on the other hand, advises Chinese entrepreneurs of how to navigate Chinese (Yes, chiefly CHINESE, not AMERICAN) regulations.

Drudge - sold his soul to Trump. He no longer is a reliable unbiased source. And big deal, Cruz used to work for Bush. I find it rather laughable, if not outright hypocritical, that people are trying to do a “gotcha” on Cruz, because he worked with and knows the Bush family, yet completely ignore (or worse, defend) all the ties Trump has to the Clintons. Not to mention all the other Democrats Trump has ties to....

But God forbid the same standards are applied to Trump, that are applied to all the other candidates...

That said, in case people don’t know...

Ted is more than qualified to be POTUS. WAY more than any of the other candidates. He has a consistent record that supports his knowledge, experience and ability to do the #1 job a President is supposed to do, and that is as the head of the executive branch of the federal government, to ensure that all the nation’s laws are “faithfully executed.” And knowing the constitution as he does, and upholding and fighting for it, as he has, consistently, gives him the upper hand on being qualified.

Here is more of his record and experience, and yes, he has created jobs. Maybe not working FOR him, but he has helped create private sector jobs.

Ted Cruz loved the Constitution and debating since high school. He spent a lot of time on debating teams and actually made small amounts of money speaking at places like the VFW and American Legion which he saved an applied to college.

Ted Cruz worked his way through college; Princeton and Harvard and specialized in constitutional law. He finished at the top of his class, was considered one of the most brilliant students and as such, was selected to clerk for the Chief Justice William Rehnquist of the Supreme Court. This is an honor that only goes to the very best and brightest and immerse you in constitutional law.

After Cruz finished his clerkships, he took a position with Cooper, Carvin & Rosenthal, now known as Cooper & Kirk, LLC, from 1997 to 1998. While with the firm, Cruz worked on matters relating to the National Rifle Association, and helped prepare testimony for the impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton.

Cruz joined the George W. Bush presidential campaign in 1999 as a domestic policy adviser, advising then-Governor George W. Bush on a wide range of policy and legal matters, including civil justice, criminal justice, constitutional law, immigration, and government reform. In other words, in private practice and working for George Bush, Ted Cruz was no ordinary lawyer. He was immersed in the policies and values we hold dear today.

Where it gets really good
After working for George Bush, he was appointed to work at the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) as director of policy planning. In that role, he cut through the red tape and regulations to help create tens of thousands of jobs. Ted Cruz knew if you de-regulate, you unchain business and growth occurs.

While working at the FTC, he was asked to become the Solicitor General of Texas by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. The office had been established in 1999 to handle appeals involving the state, but Abbott hired Cruz with the idea that Cruz would take a “leadership role in the United States in articulating a vision of strict constructionism.”

As Solicitor General, Cruz argued before the Supreme Court of the United States nine times.

Ted fought before the supreme court for our “right to keep and bear arms” in the most famous gun rights case to date; District of Columbia v Heller. In addition to his success in Heller, Cruz successfully defended the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5–4.

Ted fought before the supreme court in the famous Medellin v. Texas case where he battled the UN, World Court, 90 countries and even George W. Bush to defend American sovereignty and won. Anyone that thinks Ted favors the NWO or world dominion better look at this because nothing could be further than from the truth. Ted feels that no country and certainly not the U.N. can tell the United States what to do. All power is vested in our own government of the people and the constitution.

When Ted Cruz decide to run for the Senate, he was going up against the incumbent democrat who had deep pockets. When he told his party and looked for support, they told him “wait your turn” because they had already picked out a RINO for the job. Ted went against the and went “grass roots to the people” winning the election by a landslide.

In the Senate, Ted has fought time and time again to protect our rights and fight the left. In many cases, he has had to fight his own party as well when they so easily give in and cut deals. He is not considered an insider in any way, shape or form. He has called for border security, a wall, deportation and fought amnesty since before 2012.

Oh for crying out loud, people!! Just because a member of the Bush family decides to support Cruz or Trump, that DOES NOT MAKE EITHER ONE AN ESTABLISHMENT HACK! Bottome line, the Establishment HATES both candidates and would love nothing more than to take BOTH of them out!

Hot damn, I’m getting so sick and tired of the mudslinging from both sides.

There is a local talk show host who has no warm feeling toward the Bush family. Yet he claims that Neil Bush has been unjustly attacked. High finance bores me to tears, so I never looked into it.

Not Answering the Caul
National Journal: Hotline Latest Edition (USA) - October 27, 2011

EXCERPT

Cruz “has become a cause célèbre for tea party activists around the country.” But he “does have establishment ties.” Cruz mgr John Drogin is a former staffer to NRSC chair John Cornyn (R). Drogin “is a known quantity” in TX circles, “and his decision to sign on with Cruz gives the campaign credibility” with GOPers in D.C. and Austin. Cornyn “is not getting involved publicly in the primary” ( Livingston, Roll Call, 10/27). Snake Oil

Cruz “has been focusing some of his harshest campaign trail rhetoric on that longtime villain of those suspicious of U.S. internationalism”: The Council on Foreign Relations. During a speech to a GOP women’s group last week, Cruz said the Council on Foreign Relations is “a pit of vipers.” When asked about the Council at another event on Oct. 15, Cruz called the organization “a pernicious nest of snakes” that is “working to undermine our sovereignty,” according to “video provided by someone who opposes his candidacy.”

But Cruz’s wife, Heidi Cruz, “was an active member” of the Council on Foreign Relations until this June. She was a member until June on a 5-year “term membership” program, “an official at the organization confirmed.”

Cruz spokesperson James Bernsen: “It was never the main point of that debate and this race isn’t about the CFR, this race is about who’s going be the best senator from Texas. ...
