Thanks for the link to that post. Unfortunately, we know the other side will do this and worse to all the candidates and, sadly, to their spouses as well.
I linked that actual full CFR report. I quoted it, I did not summarize or characterize it.
This has nothing to do with the the John Birch Society, that's a smear and name calling to deflect the actual facts.
I trust people to read the report for themselves. Heidi Cruz is clearly listed as one of the "Task Force Members" and the authorship of the paper is attributed to the Task Force. Further Task Force Members could choose to endorse the report. She did. (This can be seen on page 9 of the report).
In summary, this is the furthest thing from a "smear campaign", I'm merely providing a pointer to Ms. Cruz's own work. If that's a smear you have a different view of that term than I do.
