It takes some special nerve for Ted to keep demanding ALL of Trump’s returns, when he won’t do it! He was a day later than he promised and then only realeased a summary, but is all over TV today pissing and moaning about Trump who never promised the American people this in the first place...but TED DID. HE LIED.

[snip] Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz released portions of his tax returns on Saturday — a day later than promised — and continued hammering rival Donald Trump for not disclosing his own IRS payments.

For 2011 to 2014, Cruz’s campaign released two pages of tax returns for each year. The documents, like those released earlier Saturday by fellow GOP contender Sen. Marco Rubio — don’t reveal many details like which tax breaks he claimed or how much he gave to charity.

SORRY about the source...the ‘conservative’ media won’t report that it was only a summary by Ted.

For decades, it has been obvious that the RNC/’conservative’ media uses the Christian right just like the Left uses Blacks, latinos & Gays.

We have been sold out.

‘been weaponized’?? what’s he talking about?

it was created as a weapon to be used on a civil population in order to keep them in line. after all, they couldn’t shoot people to get more money... so they just gave people bills, confiscated property, and leaned wages.

this isn’t new.

if he thinks anyone in fedgov would allow him to abolish it, he’s insane.

it’s the source of their gravy train and if there’s one thing fedgov loves... it’s gravy

“We hear this crap every four years and nothing ever changes after the election!”

That’s because we refuse to clean out our own house first instead of demanding the left clean out theirs.

Ted Cruz Says IRS Has Been 'Weaponized'

Another CRuznadian flip flop. He was against the IRS weaponizing, before he went FULL ROMNEY and was against it.

It is time for the IRS to go. Unfortunately, Trumps not calling for the abolition of the IRS. In fact, I heard him in an interview supporting a progressive tax structure. Albeit different that what is there today, but still leaving the IRS intact.

BAD IDEA!

Now that we know for certain the IRS was used as a weapon against conservative groups and against woman that accused Bill Clinton, we have the momentum to move toward a simple tax code w/o the likes of the IRS.

It is the most un-American agency in the ferrule gubbamint. Guilty until you prove your innocence.

Begin the deportation process paying off at $1000 per head for those that are bounty hunters. And an extra $1000 for each felony the deportee has committed other than running the border. Any illegal with three or more felonies can be shot on sight.

Actually, if you look at the court cases Cruz has argued and won, you’d conclude that he has been consequential in, e.g., protecting the sovereignty of the State of Texas and in upholding the Second Amendment. Those are two of many examples.

These cases are not flashy, and require sustained attention and thinking to understand; thus, you do not understand them.

You Trumpsters should admit that you care nothing for principles or for liberty. Like the RINO Christie, you’re willing to sell out to a statist liberal - in your case for the sake of the momentary rush you get when Trump insults someone who hurt your feelings.

Because you’re weak, you need someone who you perceive to be a strongman.

You said...
“Abolishing the IRS, which has been part of Cruz’ platform since the beginning, and replacing it with a flat tax used to be a pretty popular idea around here.”

It seems there’s alot of ideas that were popular or unpopular around here are not so much depending if a certain candidate opposes or supports them

The Cult of Personality has taken over. Nothing like it since maybe the Camelot thingy got sold to the American people.

Would you buy a used Camelot from that guy?
