Just like how Carson’s campaign was built on being a “nice guy,” which, once damaged, leads to massive loss in his support. Cruz is running on a “consistent,” “true,” conservative platform, which, once damaged, he will fall to pieces.

Just look at your average forum or comment sections, and you will see that, even if a lot of Freepers are still blinding themselves about Cruz’s record, I’m not the only soul who has noticed that Cruz is lying on issues that are the most important to conservatives. Cruz and his Dominionist, grifter father are also becoming more and more well known, and it is pretty much guaranteed that the GOPe is aware of these things.

Cruz will be kookified like Carson, and his fibs on immigration, his double-dealing, and all the other ugly still, will come to light.

It isn’t wise to run as the “only true conservative” in the race when you aren’t really.

His father is a grifter and a Dominionist.

Oh no!

His wife is a Goldman Sachs executive who endorsed the CFR’s North American Union proposals.

You don't say!

He himself has donors ranging from the Club for Growth on down to Goldman Sachs.

I am shocked I tell ya. Shocked!

Ok fun is over. Call me when you crazy Trumpbots actually have something damaging on Ted Cruz. Idiotic posts about his father being a “drifter”(whatever the he'll that means), simply won't cut it.

Which candidate is more consistently conservative than Cruz?

Is GOPe aware of Ivanka being best friends with Chelsea Clinton, fundraising for Corey Booker, supporting gay marriage and complaining that women don’t get equal pay for equal work?

Cruz is vulnerable.

And Trump.isnt?

That is why the NRO, Red State, all these establishment scumbags are willing to promote him as the next not-Trump.

Maybe, just maybe, it might have something to do with Ted Cruz being by far the most conservative candidate(with a lifetime ACU rating to prove it)?
Donald Trump on the other hand, is more liberal than Mitt Romney.

Ted Cruz has:
—defended the sovereignty of states’ legal system against influence by international courts

— voted against the Gang of 8 bill, fought against Obama’s amnesty programs, and has outlined exactly how he will fix our broken immigration system

— forced a government shutdown to protest increased government spending and the continued funding of Obamacare

— owns and uses firearms. Is endorsed by national law enforcement associations

— is and always has been 100% pro-life.

— believes that a robust, technologically advanced, military is the best defense a country can have. Has voted to protect military funding levels and increase service member salaries.

So here is a man who checks every single box on the Reagan-conservative questionnaire and you think it’s a good idea to question his bonafides?

Naturally, the most damaging parts are all the things you didn't quote :)

Once you've entered into a debate of "who is more consistent," iow, "our guy isn't totally consistent like he claims, but he usually is!", Cruz has already lost his platform. Once you insert the problem of lying, the platform is completely dead.

Naturally you started off your post with nonsense about his dad and his wife, so I naturally started replying to your idiotic post in the order you put them. Equally naturally, you bleat on about Ted Cruz’s wife while naturally ignoring the fact that Donald Trump’s wife is not only best friends with Hilary Clinton, she raised money for Cory Booker to boot and is a strong activist for gay marriage. I mean you just can’t make this stuff up.
You want to start a fight over wives, feel to do so. Gotta warn you tho, it’s going to get real ugly fast, and YOU WILL LOSE.

Media scum tried this trick several months ago to promote Ted over Donald. They were wishfully thinking that Ted would be easier to take down than Donald if only they could first get Ted to take down Donald.

Divide and Conquer 101.

It didn’t work then, it won’t work now. Ted’s too smart to take their poison.

You are going to need to get off the drugs.
# 1. Lamestream media never promoted Ted Cruz over Donald Trump. Lamestreams never promoted Ted Cruz. Period.
# 2. Lamestreams were attacking Ted Cruz long before Donald Trump appeared on the scene.

All true. Here's Rafael giving his Dominionist sermon about how the "kings" must go forth and conduct an end time transfer of wealth to the priestly class, all based on Dominionism's goofy reading of Rev 5:10:

Rev 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpUtt3F09A8

Also the problems in Rafael's personal story, and even claims of being a pastor, a director, and of being a professor:

http://www.alternet.org/belief/some-real-truths-about-sketchy-past-ted-cruzs-father-rafael

http://www.allthingsdemocrat.com/2014/04/the-fictitious-life-of-rafael-cruz-part-3-the-pastor-without-a-flock/

(See parts 1 and 2 of that series as well)

It's also quite likely that Rafael committed immigration fraud on top of everything else.

For his wife, the Goldman Sachs thing is common knowledge. Here she is endorsing the CFR's NAU:

http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/04/04/can-you-handle-the-truth-ted-heidi-cruz-and-the-north-american-union/

You want to start a fight over wives, feel to do so.

Ted Cruz is lying to us calling his wife a "conservative dissident" within the CFR, even though she endorsed it. It's the coverup that raises the most red flags, and provides a reason why Cruz might screw us on TPP, or might be telling Bloomberg et al. that legal status for illegal aliens is still on the table.

You link to idiotic garbage from the far left, discredited “allthingsdemocrat” as a basis for scurrilous attacks on Ted Cruz's dad, while at the general same time me totally ignoring the very real, well documented fact that Donald Trump's wife is best friends with Chelsea Clinton, held fundraising for far left Democrat Cory Booker and is a rabid advocate for gay marriage?
Let's see how that goes down with caucus voters in Iowa when we start educating them about how really insidious Donald Drump is.
Donald Trump IS THE ULTIMATE TROJAN HORSE for the Democratic Party!

All of it true and easily verifiable, despite silly denials. The information has never been "discredited" by any source.

Donald Trump's wife is best friends with Chelsea Clinton

Actually you're referring to Donald Trump's daughter who was close friends with Chelsea's husband before he married Chelsea.

Let's see how that goes down with caucus voters in Iowa

Donald Trump isn't running as the "true" conservative in the race. Ted Cruz is. That's why kookifying him and demonstrating his double talking nature on immigration renders him impotent in the face of Rubio or Jeb Bush.

That is why Cruz is a safe harbor for the RINOs to find a new and temporary "not Trump."

He can be destroyed, and easily.

Trump is a Ron Paul Wannabee. And his supporters are Ron Paul type Trumpetts. But in the end, Trump is a Hillary Clinton boy toy.

Lets let Rafael Cruz speak for himself:

https://media.perpetuatech.com/watch?v=MDFERjZDOTcyMw#

Now after listening to the man’s own words sis he say anything that a vast majority of FReepers do not agree own?

You’re pretty dense aren’t you?

Check my history. I have been one of the strongest and most consistent defenders of Ted Cruz on FR.

I saw with my eyes the print of media scumbags writing that they wished Ted Cruz would win because he was easier to take down. That’s a fact. Their attempt died after a few days. Now you get your head straight and show respect to persons that know better than you.

“In just about any other year, Mr. Cruz would be the worst-case scenario for the party’s establishment. But compared with the likes of Mr. Trump and Mr. Carson, he seems reasonable and conventional. That might let him become a candidate the party could grudgingly accept.”

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/05/upshot/ted-cruz-has-a-chance-to-win-heres-the-path.html?_r=0

Now read further and note that this NY Times scumbag writer writes that Cruz has no chance to win nationally. In other words, in his view and in the view of his homosexual editors, Cruz is to be used to take Trump down or to slow him down.

Oh, now we see the anti-Trump assholery come in full view.

Thanks for revealing yourself. It makes it easier for Freepers to dismiss such rot.
