I don't think FR should tolerate or accommodate serial lying and dirty tricks from any candidate. It besmirches the good people here.

Now you really wonder about the Cruzers here who say the craziest things---who's paying them? Goldman Sachs?

They tell lies here about the candidates eerily similar tactically to the latest Ted Cruz dirty trick lie. The Cruzers know the lies will fool some people, just as Ted knew that if just some Carson supporters could be fooled for just a short amount of time, it would be good for Cruz. The Glenn Beck post, the mailer---Cruz has shown, as the Cruzers on FR have shown, that there is no limit to how low they will go.

Time to do to the Cruzers what was done to the Romneyites four years ago: ban. Cruzers started their own forum anyway, from which to encourage people to stop donating to FR and making fun of wounded warriors and amputees. So there's a sewer they can go to and be at home in.

Ban Cruzers. Make FR Great Again.

I've read FR since practically Day One and elections get passionate but have never read the accusatory level of hatred, pettiness, and intimidation that the Cruz followers have against all others. It makes me even more suspicious of the honor of this candidate. Sure, people didn't like Romney or McCain, loved or hated Palin, and were often disappointed or outright angry at Bush or Dole, but these Cruz supporters are vicious and quickly angered and personal.

There is a real chance that for the first time in almost 25 years, FR will be undermined by the agenda of people who want to literally silence their temporary competition instead of build long-term electoral support.

This is not a lie it is based on the fact that Carson schedule shows him returning home to Florida rather than campaigning hard. That is a signal that he is no longer taking the race seriously and is likely about to drop out.

Yeah, because nothing says “Free Republic” like banning dissenting opinion. You sure you’re not a Democrat?

“Ban Cruzers”

We’re not going anywhere and neither is our WINNING candidate. Suck it up and get over it.

What did Cruz do or say, specifically, that you find offensive?

You understand that CNN reported this, and that a Twitter user with under 4,000 followers tweeted it? That’s it.

OK, your statements go beyond the pot-and-kettle. It’s like the event horizon calling the kettle black...

If you want to reduce the snark level around here, you might want to deal with the log in your own eye first...
