Did you not see that Cruz’s campaign manager took ownership of this?

I noticed that. I may live in a small town, but I really do not know my neighbors. Would not want them to have my name and voting record. smh

Doesn’t change the fact that he has pages of endorsements from politicians and public figures, more than Trump does, and that he has great parents and a loving wife and family.

Well that settles it. Pages of lawyers like him and he has a wife and kid. That's enough for me. SMH

Those endorsers aren't real happy right now, and I don't see what his family has to do with it.

Nobody cares about his family, or Trump's or Huckabee's for that matter.

This is crazy and it smells like a Beck idea. If this is real, Cruz is not only toast, he’s burnt toast.

Finally, they got a round tuit.

LOL

Now that’s what I call hands on.

That looks like it’s pretty close to in over their head.

This is sad to watch a mob mentality grow from a knee-jerk reaction to a supposedly Trump,uh sorry cruz mailer-but I can see this mentality every time I listen to trump,so my old tagline needs the added-survived obama/trump holding out for any honest conservative president within the next 30 yrs.

"I sent them the nastiest letter that I had ever written."<\p>

Good on you for that.

We live in a drafty old house and my wife and I usually leave the thermostat somewhere in the mid 60s to save money. We went from two people to five. My sister-in-law was sick for months with some serious medical issues. Our two nieces were used to Southern California winters where their dad was stationed. We had to turn the heat up, plus they were all using a lot of hot water, the lights, appliances and everything else. Of course our power usage went up. It is bazaar to get a "shaming" letter from someone or organization who doesn't have a clue about your situation. If my minister wants to shame me into doing something that is fine. That is his job. Outside of normal campaigning Ted Cruz should mind his own business.

He was doing so well, coming in a strong second. WHY. WHY did someone in his campaign think this was a good idea, and why did Cruz approve of it?

How could anyone ever think that shaming and angering citizens will encourage any voting at all, let alone for the shaming candidate? I don’t want anyone tattling my private business to my neighbors.

They are so invested in their belief that Trump is a fraud who won’t do what he says that they would rather have Hillary as president than take a chance on being proven wrong.

It's very underhanded. As I said before make sure you pick up one of these to celebrate Ted's result in Iowa:

It doesn’t need justifying....looks like Cruz adopted a Trump tactic so you Trupsters should be celebrating he’s grown some mojos and worthy of admiration.

Caww, did you see the nice formal invitation to caucus including instructions, helpful hints a all the proper paper-work required that was sent out by the Trump campaign? Class too, is a Trump tactic.

You are also creepy.

Wow. Reading all it's infantile justifications, I agree.

I suppose I should be shocked, but, I am not. It is good his ‘conservative’ values are getting exposed.

You’re right, and the Cruz team uses new and complex technology for ‘data mining’ to a fine degree (religion, car, # of kids, mortgage, shoe size, favorite beer - well almost). He relies on it heavily, but as we see, the trouble with computers is GIGO.

It probably will backfire, after all, what kid who gets an “F” ever believes it’s his own fault? No one likes to be called a “FAILURE”.
