“Cruz and Rubio are nothing but second rate con men. Exposed and finished off. A first rate con man is someone like a Bernie Madoff. Cruz couldnt even shine Bernies shoes. Hes DONE.”
What does that say about certain politicians who are urging Rubio to run again for his Senate seat?

You're like one of those fanatical Jap soldiers who never got the memo that the war is over, ain't ya? The war is over. We lost.

Loving to see FreeRepublic using Alinski tactics against Ted Cruz.
. It’s not enough to simply lie about your opponent. You must attack him where he has his greatest strength. If his appeal is that he is a good man, who keeps his word, loves his family, etc., then that’s exactly where he must be discredited. Alynski credits Lucifer in his book as one of the inspirations for his theory, and I can see why. Defamation is an evil on the same level as murder and adultery. They all made the 10 Commandments. Something to consider before going down that dark path.

WTF are you smoking?

Cruz is NOT a good man. He was masquerading as one, and conned a lot of people. He lied to the voters of Texas, a lie of omission, conveniently neglecting to tell them that he was a Canadian citizen when he was chasing their votes to get to the U.S. Senate. A 'good man' would not mask his background in order to gain higher office.
Cruz does NOT keep his word. He pledged to support the GOP nominee and he has been ominously silent while conducting continued efforts to undermine Trump by seeking to seize control of party functions related to rule making and the platform.
Cruz might love his family, but even a casual review of his children's reactions to him while he sought to use them as cheap campaign props, in addition to the shallow manipulations seen in the outtakes from his political commercials speaks volumes about his family relationships, and it's not good. Toss in the insane 'Dominionist / Seven Mountains' claptrap cult preaching from his loony tune father, and 'family' is not a topic where you want to go.
Alynski credits Lucifer in his book as one of the inspirations for his theory, and I can see why. Defamation is an evil on the same level as murder and adultery. They all made the 10 Commandments. Something to consider before going down that dark path.
Preach that to Cruz, he has engaged in far more defamation and spouted off more lies about Trump than nearly any other candidate.
Finally, work harder to take your own advice:
I dont post as much as I used to actually. I try to stay off the Trump threads.

You accuse him of a lack of character?Yes, I accuse Cruz of lack of character. My evidence includes his campaign tactics, his campaign manager, his allegiance with Glen Beck, his lack of disclosure on Goldman Sachs loans & his multitude of documented lies.

...who epitomizes what it means to be a Republican.Yes, Cruz is the epitome of the GOPe, but that is not what it means to be a Republican. He is the epitome of the Bushes, McCain, Romney...not a conservative in the bunch.
Cruz, utterly amoral (ask the National Enquirer); a liar (ask Ben Carson); never a Conservative (Heidi - - - Goldman-Sachs, CFR, Globalist); a TPP sort of guy; etc.

Incidentally, what is this fairly new phenomenon of summoning all of the flying monkeys to your aid when responding to someone? It’s really strange; kinda gives the impression of insecurity.

Gee, project much?That spastic attempt at the old "I'm Rubber, You're Glue" defense notwithstanding, the point nonetheless stands. You're clearly in willing, glassy-eyed thrall to what the electorate ultimately (and quire rightly, I might add) came to recognize as a gibbering, self-aggrandizing lunatic; shying away from him electorally, en masse, as one might a proffered handful of live beetles.
Completely within your rights to do so, of course... but, still: wear it. Own it.

How shrewd you are. I guess my National Merit Scholarship, Magna cum lauds college degree and medical degree are all part of a huge ruse. I won’t list my IQ score (well above genius level).
Spare me the condescension, numbnuts.
