He is..the cartel is in Washington DC led by politicans like Barack Obama that want to knee cap an entire industry that employs millions of Americans and provides the retirement incomes for millions more..Al Gore actually demanded an end to fossil fuels in like 15 years which would destroy our economy and plunge us back 150 years.

This means Cruz has an additional source for funds going forward, but most of the oil companies aren’t in great shape right now.

It’s important that the non-Trump candidate has the funds to wage a war of attrition against Trump in the winner take all primaries.

I’m assuming it will basically be a two man race soon.

So you want Ted to be on the take from big oil?

"On the take".

"Big Oil".

That sounds so concerning.

Oh geez, what can we do about that?

Political campaigns should not take in donations and spend money to gain exposure.

Instead all candidate exposure should come from our trusted gatekeepers, Big Media. Or our candidates should be oligarchs who finance their own campaigns.

All other political free speech tied to private donations should be stopped by Big Government.

John McCain and our trusted politicians in Congress need to limit this form of "free speech" (sneer) as soon as possible.

Wow.

Google it.

I believe that this is the 5th time this month that I’ve been called a liberal or a leftists on FR.

Never in 16 years has this happened until Cruzbots.

I’m pretty much over you AND your candidate.

Yup. So industries will throw tons of money for a candidate and expect nothing...

In what world?

They’re ALL buying something and you darn well know it.

Nothing says taking a wrecking ball to the Uni-party like supporting TARP, Stimulus, Obama Care mandate, the union bail outs, supporting Cindy Sheehan and code pink, doing deals with Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, supporting Mitch McConnell over Matt Bevin and doing so because Mitch brings the bacon back to his state, and supporting the ethanol scam, funding of Planned Parenthood.

Yeah that Trumpster, he’s a real wrecking ball that one! /s (so you are a leftist)

What the hell is wrong with you people?

Followers reflect their leadership and Cruz supporters are disgusting.

I will never vote for your candidate.

You’re calling me a leftist by referencing something that I didn’t even say?

Do you have a fever? Should we send help?

I”m calling you a leftist by who you support. And yes deary, it’s a valid test.

When you support a leftist, you are one. Or you’re fooled. One of the two. Which is it?
