Really ironic words, as you’re libeling Cruz.
I and others have REPEATEDLY implored the accusing tongues to produce, in quotes, Ted Cruz’s “lie”. To be a lie it has to be factually incorrect and he had to know it was factually incorrect. To this date nobody has produced even one quote that was factually incorrect.
But they sure keep on with the libel.
Not very Christian but it’s a funny thing, because their screeds of untruth are all filled with how terrible it is to lie - especially if you say you’re a Christian.
I wasn’t going to say any more about this so I guess I fell from my intentions too, but it is just too ironic and disturbing to see people condemn Cruz for lying as they lie about him lying.
Did you read I said IF Cruz used lies or did you miss that. I don’t owe you or anyone an “in quote” - Google is your friend. That is an obvious coordinated distraction from Cruz supporter and not fitting here as I said IF. That Cruz WAS SAID to have lied should suggest that he would want to avoid any suggestion in the future. I assume he would never want to face this charges for which he apologized to ever be made again.
OK, I take that back. One person mentioned an ad where it apparently said that Donald Trump got rich from eminent domain. They didn’t produce a quote but if that is what the ad said then that was not true.
The general point Cruz’s ad was making was correct - that Trump considers it OK for individuals to get rich from forcing somebody to sell. It’s the “cost of doing business”. And Trump has defended that process as well. The offer he made for the woman was more than reasonable. And sometimes the public gains a lot from eminent domain projects. The Keystone Pipeline, for instance, is a matter of national security because our dependence on foreign oil makes us vulnerable.
Eminent domain is a confusing question, and it’s OK for the candidates to debate it. It was wrong for Cruz’s ad to use the factually incorrect statement that Trump got rich off of eminent domain, if that’s what the ad said.
Regarding the Ben Carson thing, the one thing that is of questionable accuracy is the claim that Carson was going to make a big announcement that week. What I suspect happened is that CArson’s NH staffers who quit the day before to join Cruz’s team told him that CArson was planning on giving his quitting speech and that is why they left his campaign. So at the time that the Cruz campaign said it they believed it to be true and it may even have been true as suggested by his lack of campaigning. If so, then CArson changed his mind and Cruz was left truly sorry that his people had said anything about it.
The venom with all this is disturbing to me. I wish we would get back to facing this nation’s enemies and coming up with solutions. Toward that end I will try my best to ignore the venom and exaggerations and concentrate on more important things.
