[Flashback 2014] Ted Cruz: "what happened in Mississippi was appalling"... Really? Really Ted?
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | July 8 2014 | Sundance

Posted on 01/21/2016 11:23:38 AM PST by Greetings_Puny_Humans

It would be more than important to listen to this audio/video interview with Mark Levin before dropping below the fold:

[See link for video]

You'll note that Senator Ted Cruz seems to express disgust and outrage against the tactics deployed by what he calls the "DC Machine". Cruz states that their conduct in the Mississippi runoff was "incredibly disappointing" etc.

However, we now know -from specific documentation provided by internal research into the activity around the Mississippi campaign- that the National Republican Senatorial Campaign, the NRSC, was the financier for the attack ads against Chris McDaniel.

So who is the "DC Machine", this "leadership of the NRSC", that Senator Ted Cruz is so "incredibly disappointed" in?

So let me get this straight: You think Cruz ordered the attack ads on McDaniel?

Cruz allocated funds to smear McDaniel. I remember Senators coming out of that meeting covering their faces or hanging their heads. Couldn't get out of there fast enough. But records reveal their betrayal.

If this is scandalous, I don’t know what to call donating to Sharpton or using Soros as a sugar daddy.

Yet, McDaniel is the chair of the Cruz campaign in Mississippi and has nothing but great things to say about Ted.

Guilt by association is a funny line of attack coming from the pro-Trump crowd, and it is more than a little bit hypocritical.

I don’t hear anyone saying Cruz ordered the attacks. But he didn’t reveal the funding situation at the time. It doesn’t fit the narrative of Cruz always being at odds with the inside game.

OK. Why are you and your anti-Cruz buddies posting so many articles from this anti-Cruz blog?

theconservativetreehouse.com — specifically a coward who hides behind the cute name “sundance” — is a slanderous site, weak on facts and rich in misrepresentation and innuendo and hyperbole.

That blog grinds out a lot of anti-Cruz content daily. Publishing every single anti-Cruz article on FR makes it seem like there’s an avalanche of anti-Cruz sentiment. But it’s all coming from one anonymous blogger, sundance on theconservativetreehouse.com

You anti-Cruz people are so overwhelmingly tiring.

FWIW, McDaniel chairing Cruz's campaign does not prove that Cruz didn't know about the funding situation and yet not reveal it at the time.

It's a non-sequitor situation.

No doubt the poster of this repeated misinformation would be surprised to find out that the NRSC also went after Cruz even though he was co-chair. This is the way Trumpsters hope to muddy the water and stay away from topics like ethanol subsidies, single payer healthcare, bank bailouts, the purchasing of political favors and the obama stimulus plan,,, and personal attacks. all things that The Donald is on record as supporting (or doing!)

Yes. Cruz is satan incarnate. Not a virtuous blood cell in his body. Trump is messiah and he and his apostles have declared it so.

Welcome to the reality distortion of the primary season.

Sundance misinforms readers by omitting all the context of the story.

In doing so joins all the other grossly dishonest political commentators this season.

He was Vice Chairman. Besides lots of "conservative" talk, Cruz never came out to support the conservative in the race when the NRSC was paying for those racist attack ads. He sat it out and blamed unnamed DC evil doers later.

It is up to you to prove it. Otherwise you are just another lying sack. I can prove that Trump donated 50,000 to McConnells Super Pac. Not that it makes a difference to a mushy moderate.

Well, you know, it's interesting.

I was nosing around on a leftwing anti-Freeper blog, and I saw GPH mentioned by one of the members as though he was familiar to him.

That's really weird. Don't you think that's weird?

Many are fooled by Cruz’s consistent denials of many things he’s done, didn’t understand TPA, didn’t know he was a Canadia citizen, just missed filings with FEC on Goldman & Citibank.

McDaniel is a trusting sort. But Chris doesn’t talk against Trump either. His main focus is to get someone in office who can change status quo.

It’s from a valid source, in spite of Cruzers attacking the source. I’ll expect that it should be denied by Cruz himself if it becomes a big enough story. Perhaps since he was on the committee he could provide a list of whose campaigns they did support. If money from that committee went into that dirty primary smear campaign and nobody spoke out in public, that’s of course unacceptable.
