MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is out with a deceptive new mailer that masquerades as official government business and promises people there's a "check enclosed" when it's actually asking for money instead.

A New Jersey resident sent The Huffington Post the latest piece of mail he received from Cruz's campaign. The envelope appears to have come from Cruz's Senate office and has his name printed the same way it often is for Senate business. In small type the mailer clarifies that it is for "personal" matters and was not sent at taxpayers' expense. It also promises a check...

I get crappy mailers every day from all republican candidates. It’s all BS. They go in the round file.

The other thing I don’t read is Huffington list.

"As much as he denies it, Ted Cruz is politics as usual."

I am still wondering how anyone campaigns for office without politics. ???????

However, his deceptive campaign machine tactics are.

I think he was offered money and power and immediately caved on Gang of 8. Donald Trump’s Senior Policy Adviser, Stephen Miller, is telling a story about Marco Rubio......

Pot falsely calling kettle black, are you?

In shrink terms its call PROJECTION, my lemming FRiend.

I do not support Cruz but this is BS.

Many of the high powered marketing services use this.

I think that I recall that one of the Tea Party organizations have done it.

Huff should do us another great service by writing and expose on crab grass in Curz’s yard.

Well this is typical fund raising schlock but its refreshing to get stuff from Donald Trump and all he is ever doing is sending you informational stuff and never has his hand out.

Thank you for posting farcical accusation meant to appeal to people that don’t read beyond the headline mantra of “dirty trick” and I support Ted Cruz that much more knowing the leftist HuffPo is coming at him. P.S. check will be sent to Mr. Cruz.

Ted is cheap. In Philly, a typical Dem voter wants a carton of cigarettes and a six pack.

it’s part of conversation and adults know how to deal with it

As childish as it may be I'll just ignore leftwing rags with little or no credibility.

I’m not backing Rafael, but this doesn’t seem shady. I can’t really expect people thinking they are getting money in the mail from a politician...

Well, unless they’re a Democrat!

what did that tough guy Trump do when he was asked where he stood on Ethanol?
What has he said about working with Nancy? Reid? McConnell?

Trump doesn’t scare me near as much as his cult worshippers do.

What mental midget would ever think that Ted Cruz was sending them money? This is a non story.

They are Cousins to the Iowa Rubes that went home instead of Caucusing after hearing of Carson's plans to fly to Floriduh on CNN.

They are Also waiting with baited breath for the Publishers Clearing House Prize van to pull in the driveway any second now. Beucause they have paperwork that tells them they ALREADY are winners! Whoopie, let's have a block parteeeh.
