Alternatives to "CRUZ"Republic? (Opus by one of the pillars of Free Republic...NOT!)

Posted on 03/25/2016 9:26:33 AM PDT by pacificus

This place, which I've visited nearly 10 times a day since 2000, has become the TED-CRUZRepublic.

It's not sad, its just the end of this place for me. I'm shredding my freeper card and moving on.

What other sites are out there where can conservatives get access to news and perspective that isnt 100% moderated/censored by followers of the Senator from Texas?

The what?

The Money Transfer ... half a million ... very unusual ...

People were left scratching their heads in July when Keep the Promise 1, one of a conglomerate of super PACs funded by deep-pocketed Cruz supporters (the others are cleverly named Keep the Promise PAC, Keep the Promise II and Keep the Promise III; don’t strain yourself, guys), revealed in its financial disclosures a $500,000 donation to Fiorina’s campaign.

Keep the Promise 1 had a healthy $10 million on hand from a $11 million donation from hedge fund CEO Robert Mercer as of the end of June. But it only spent $536,169. A little for legal services. A little for surveys. And a whole lot for Fiorina.

Even the Federal Election Commission is perplexed. The super PAC was (purposely?) vague about the donation, describing it on its FEC filing as “other disbursement.”

So, the FEC, as it does, sent a letter Wednesday asking for “a brief statement or description of why each disbursement was made.”

Something like: Well, just in case…

The donation to Fiorina was made June 18, which shows tremendous foresight. Fiorina was barely registering then, not yet revealed as the scrappy underdog with killer debate skills. And Donald Trump had yet to steal most of Cruz’s disenchanted voters.

The super PAC’s treasurer Jacquelyn James did not respond to our request for comment. Maybe the FEC will have better luck.

If you hate FR & Trump as much, why don’t you join them? Is it because the cause you represent is not that of Cruz’s but something else?

Pray tell us.

I’ve been here longer than most — since 1998. It’s a good site, but lately it’s been overrun by newbie Trumpkins who presume to question the conservatism of the rest of us.

What is conservative about your role as COO/Press Director of the Council of Khalistan?

I’m for freedom for people when they’re suffering oppressive rule. And you?

And what’s wrong with that? PACs are allowed to support candidates if they choose.

I love FR; I’ve been here longer than you have. Don’t lecture me about conservatism.

I don’t hate Trump. I do not support him. I don’t think he has the temperament to be president nor do I support him on policy when there is a more conservative alternative.

We already have one petulant child in the White House. We don’t need another one.

It has the appearance of evil.

Lol! Me too teddy copies another pro-Trump meme. And it only took team Cruz four months to come up with an answer.

Cruznadians are known for their unoriginality.

TBP has no problem with evil - he is a mouthpiece for the Paki government.

Ah, the old Muslim/Khalistani terrorist = freedom fighter meme

So, how was your trip to Islamabad? Have you come back with fresh propaganda/talking points?

Psst, might want to read this - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3421722/posts

You’re posting on the wrong site with your “sleeper troll” pro-Paki nonsense.

As usual, you deflect. Can you answer this question raised up thread - What is conservative about your role as COO/Press Director of the Council of Khalistan?

There are only a handful of tards that still buy into the 7th king’s BS. Why leave now?

No you haven’t - you never have. Your CoK sucking posts on FR are a disgrace.

Admin - CoK is Council of Khalistan for which TBP is COO and press director.
