I got bored with this column quickly. Did it ever actually mention any of the so-called lies?

I second the question. Anybody see any actual "lies" cited in the piece?

PROJECTION. When liberals attack, it is because it is something they have done or are planning to do.

After the 2004 elections, Robert Kennedy, Jr. wrote a detailed article first accusing George W. Bush of tampering with voting machines in Ohio and secondly how it could be done. Fast forward to 2008 and 2012, and what happened? Voting machines all over the country were tampered with, IN EXACTLY THE WAY KENNEDY DESCRIBED.

It is amazing how much VENOM she pack into the first 3 sentences. Almost as amazing as her failing to list one lie that Cruz told in a story that she wrote to convey what a huge liar he is.

Simply review presidential history.

Governors don’t have a much better track record verses senators or anyone else for that matter. There been really bad ones across the board.

They are frightened because they cannot pretend that he is stupid...and he fights back. The liberals don’t know how to handle an opponent who isn’t a patsy.

I had to read closely to find the lies. She mentions three, none of which are actually “lies.”
Lie #1. He disagrees with leftist group-think on global warming. He is anti-science.
Lie #2. He believes cities with strict gun control have higher crime rates.he makes the fatal conceit of thinking free citizens should defend themselves.
Lie #3. “The number of IRS agents.” She doesn’t explain this.

The author is insane. And to think she is a professor somewhere teaching young skulls full of mush.

I guess the author just can’t accept the truth

What’s dangerous is the current level of insanity exhibited by the left. They are positively bat-sh** crazy.

ok, I stopped reading after several paragraphy. Does the author actually mention any of the lies that Cruz supportively said. Author talked about multiples lies without mentioning a single one. A search of google of lies doesn’t prove anything, it could be 1 lie written multiple times by multiple leftist media and then repeated ad nasuem the same 1

Exactly! Searched for at least one example...nada.

Any right minded-ed thinking to this ‘Professor’ must be ‘extreme conservative” and as for the most lies told and the great number if ‘googled’, different universe, etc. Snort! how soon will US forget the falsehoods told by our current pResient would be found when given the same scrutiny? The faux-knowledgeable one is ASing US. Attempting to apply to Cruz the many negatives that their own great idol owns. This —not only shows their fear, but their ignorance as well. Check the underwear -you’ll more than likely find it needs changing.

the author attempts to define a lie as words spoken that disagree with the left. If someone say something that is incorrect, thats not a lie, the person is simply wrong. You have to know what you said is wrong to be considered a lie and the author want to relax that rules that define a lie so it could be all encompassing

Truth be told, basically the author lied about Cruz lying

I am so tired of hearing this idea that governors make the best presidents, which has not been borne out by history.

Over the past 100 years (or so) we have had 8 presidents with prior gubernatorial experience:

Theodore Roosevelt
Woodrow Wilson
Calvin Coolidge
Franklin Roosevelt
Jimmy Carter
Ronald Reagan
Bill Clinton
George W. Bush

With the exceptions of Ronald Reagan and Calvin Coolidge, the remaining six have been unmitigated disasters.

That's hardly an encouraging record.

And Reagan wasn’t a great president because he was a governor. He was a great president because he understood what America was all about, loved liberty, limited government and free markets, and knew how to sell it.

I like a lot of what I know about Scott Walker, but the fact is that he appears to be a supporter of amnesty/immigration reform -- which is a deal killer as for as I am concerned.

Ted Cruz is the ONLY consistent, articulate conservative candidate who seems to understand the proper role of the federal government in all respects.

I believe that when one looks at the whole pack, Cruz is the only one who has the brains, the principles and the experience to save this country, if in fact it can be saved after 100 years of Progressive leftist infestation by both parties.

Recall also the research showing that viewers of Fox News actually know less about the world than people who watch no news of any kind.

This person is using alinsky's rules for radicals and the precepts of 1984 to maximum effect {for the article}.

Black is white, right is wrong, peace is war.

The author is insane. And to think she is a professor somewhere teaching young skulls full of mush.

Based on the many, many articles I have read by or about modern college professors, this author is pretty typical.

That's why colleges today are moron factories dedicated primarily to leftist indoctrination and stuffing young skulls full of mush with even more mush.

I truly question the judgment of anyone who decides to go to college today to study any sort of degree program other than STEM and maybe business) -- especially if they have to go into debt to do it.

“Googling ‘Ted Cruz lies’ pulls back an astonishing 7,890,000 results”

My Googling “Obama lies” pulled up a measly 98,400,000.

Proof positive that Ted Cruz Lies. / sarc
