Maybe Cruz should sue Trump.
Trump has fabricated untruths on numerous occasions.
Yea, what we need are politicians who weasel and slime to our face, like Trump.
We know we can trust them (to weasel and slime to our face).
....hippie fads are now in... Orange hair anyone??
Funny you mention Canada.Have long held that there is a thread of association with Canada that goes all the way back to the post US Revolution.
Post Articles of Confederation and the adoption of the Constitution, secession became a subject and subdued effort. With the beginning, in 1800 of the demise of the Federalists (the Hamiltonians if you like— the Central Banker party) and the rise of Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican party, impeaching Federalist judges etc— rumblings of secession began. By 1804, the Federalist’s power base was reduced to 3 states- MA, DE, and CT (sound familiar— the current “seat” of ultra leftie socialist/marxist liberalism and the corporate bankers HQ).
Timothy Pickering of Massachusetts and a few Federalists wanted to create a separate New England confederation, combining with lower Canada to form a new pro-British nation! The Hartford Convention in 1814 voiced all this, but the end of the War of 1812 slowed them up. These political alignments and anglo-philia persist to this day IMHO, by elitist demo-RINO WASP Progressives and Canadian Socialists (really the UK since Canada is a Commonwealth). The Brits are “still at it” —what they tried to do in the War of 1812— which, notably the Federalists were rabidly against (hence their beginnings of separation). Would contend the push by these same elitists for National Romney-obamaumaocare— modeled on the disastrous UK NHS and the equally failing Canadian version— is yet another extension of this “empire-loving” anglophilic Progressivism, with the handy benefit to the oligarchy of cost shifting healthcare onto the backs of the working people and forced taxation. Continued elimination of State’s Rights in this regard and others.
Later merchant oligarch expressions of secession were espoused by the next gestation of these Federalists— seizing on the issue of slavery as a premise or a “cause” to cover their real objectives: continuing the aristocracy and oligarchy through expansion in the West. The Texas Republic drove them crazy with concern and focus about this.
“Henceforth, the watchword of every uncompromising abolitionist, of every friend of God and liberty, must be, both in a religious and political sense — ‘NO UNION WITH SLAVEHOLDERS”— William Lloyd Garrison, abolitionist.
A study of the Founders, delineates the political divide that continued. Madison did not think the Constitution allowed secession, but southerners and many northerners— did.
“Only repeated, multiplied oppressions placing it beyond all doubt that their rulers had formed settled plans to deprive them of their liberties, could warrant the concerted resistance of the people against their government”—John Adams
The flag similarity to the Union Jack is somewhat noteworthy- but it is only one of the battle flags, not the southern country’s flag. Instead the linkage is far more sinister with Canada and the NE Progressive elites of the Uniparty. Of more concern is the greasy promotion of Hillary. Trump vs. Hillary does not do well at all nationally. Hillary as a criminal— will NOT be removed. Sanders is a flat out communist. We are being played.
Soros has a lot of enemies— surprised it hasn’t happened from say the Russian mob, or the House of Saud, in view of his meddling with Iran and obamaumao/jean kerry’.
It was a super PAC. If you recall Trump asked that candidates request super pacs disband and give the money back. He would not allow a super pack to be established in his name. Said he didn’t know the guy setting it up.
Super PACs coordinate with the campaigns before they are officially formed. They are hardly rogue operations. Career politican Cruz has signed off on this sleaze no doubt.
And here's a few standard Trump supporters responses:
"He didn't mean that." "He's just saying that to win." "It's going to be great."
So then Trump signed off on his super PACS before he told them to disband?
Sounds sleazy, greasy and dishonest.
Whom shall we believe? Sheriff Joe Arpaio - the gold standard on fighting illegals who backs Trump - or 'Glen the Becktist' who welcomes illegals with 'Teddy CRuz bears'?
Exactly correct with the cellophane shield of saying “Trump is NOT beholden to special interests, lobbyists and PACs” To which, I would say, people need to consider just WHOM Trump employs as his OWN lobbyists— hmmm?
This “i’m not part of the establishment” crap is just that— he IS a definite wing of the establishment. And if one does not judge him on the basis of PAST history and highly malleable (to use Jimmy Carter’s description of Trump as the preferable candidate)opinions and support-— well then someone is fooling themselves. The very first delusion— “self delusion” and crowd (herd) dynamics. This is NOT over.
So then Trump signed off on his super PACS before he told them to disband?
No, Trump told them to get lost. Cruz, OTOH, green lighted millions in anonymous, money laundered donations. Nothing principled or conservative about that. Sorry.
Believe Trump's own words about expediting them back. Believe Trump's own words about "legalizing them". Believe Trump's own words how he might consider even citizenship for them later.
And BTW, Cruz went back to DC after visiting the border and fought Obama's DACA amnesty. That's why he went to the border.
I don’t recall hearing that Cruz was a big defender of the Confederate flag. There have been numerous cases involving the Confederate flag, and Confederate monuments in TX, has he ever taken a stand against ongoing efforts to remove them?
I know Cruz did say that the issue of the Confederate flag in SC was for the people of SC to decide, but I didn’t hear him oppose removing it, so that is why this particular line of attack was so underhanded.
There is no time that Ted Cruz is speaking that I don’t see it as him speaking before a jury in a Court of Law. He always sounds like he is giving oral arguments. The dramatic pauses, the pacing back and forth, the argumentation, his presentation to the public is no different than his presentation to a jury in a case he is representing. Ted Cruz is just another shyster lawyer.
Your Second Post: No, Trump told them to get lost.
Trump told his super PACs to get lost AFTER they were formed and after they were in operation. And as you said in your first post, super PACs coordinate with campaigns before they are officially formed.
So therefor, Trump signed off on his super PACS and then went out and criticized other people using super PACs. When he was finally called out on his hypocrisy, it was only then that he disbanded his super Pacs.
That's slippery, dishonest and hypocritical.
There is no evidence that Cruz approved this robocall.
It's "underhanded" to suggest that he did.
Thanks for this Ted
It’s my flag too
Expedite everyone back is a blatant lie by Cruz and his bots to cover Cruz's desire not to sent any illegal back. Trump wants them all sent back with quality professionals and exemplary students put to the front of the line.
But lie and distort all you want. Here is a hint, "Nobody is listening to you and nobody cares what you think."
Cruz can’t dodge his PAC’s activity.
