Rubio voted yes on the Amnesty bill.

Cruz voted no.

More than that -- Rubio was one of the people who engineered the Gang of Eight amnesty bill; Cruz was one of the leaders of the fight against it.

Nobody who has been paying attention to the records of Cruz and RUbio, believe that their records are anywhere near the same

They both voted for TPA
They both voted for the corker bill
They both supported amnesty
They are both Cuban
They both have questionable eligibility

Hell they could be brother for other mothers.

It’s not Rubio why they are posting this garbage. Notice that nobody posting this story over and over again is defending Rubio. It’s an indefensible position. The point is to take out Cruz because...

It’s about Trump.

Think about it.

Some of the Trumpsters believe if they can tie Cruz to Rubio’s position on amnesty, that will damage Cruz enough to the point it would supposedly leave Trump as the only anti-amnesty, pro-deportation candidate in the race.

The Rubio camp tried to go down this slippery path that exposed Rubio Tuesday night. If they had a choice and were smart, the Rubio camp would be cutting off all attacks against Cruz on the subject because even if they somehow damage Cruz with the lies, they have to know any lost votes for Cruz wouldn’t end up with Rubio, they would end up flowing to Trump.

Hence all the various threads on the same subject posted largely by Trump supporters.

To derail the bad gang of eight legislation he offered a poison pill amendment.

Which he denied was a poison pill amendment.

Of course it was, but he lacked the integrity to so state at the time.

Those wanting an alternative to Washington politicians need to look elsewhere.

Schumer said that if there was no citizenship, there was no “reform”. Who tried to eliminate the citizenship provision (which, by the chief leader of the Gang’s own standard, destroyed the bill)? Ted Cruz!

I see you’re still trying to sow discord here.

Maybe we should ask Jose Medellin who is right in this controversy?

Can you research that for us Ratherbiaeed?

As an illegal alien I think jose’s opinion is really important.

Yes, was about to reply to you on another thread, but the faction of Trumpkins attacking Cruz IMO seem to be made up of far left liberal-atarians, bitter Paulbots and many Obamabot democraps trying to sully Cruz integrity in the primary. IMO Trumps actual Republican support is very low, but the small faction of very passionate online bloggers here on FR and other places are very active.

Which seems to be supported, if not led, by Trump's people.

Who happens to be up YUGE in the polls for the last 6 months.

Cruz is honest. Trump, OTOH...

Care to share an example where Trump has been dishonest. I'd post one for Cruz, but heck every other thread is about Cruz's dishonesty.

Luke, I am in charge now...

Give up Luke.

We are striking back, not Trump.

Don't listen when he says he's your father...

If Teflon Don can do and say some of the things he has done and said, this should be a cakewalk for Cruz.

That’s funny, I was just thinking this drive by posting is addicting, almost like being drawn to the dark side.
