Ted Cruz's Latest Dirty Trick Is Almost Too Much To Be Believed
The Huffington Post ^ | February 7, 2016 | Amanda Terkel

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 think it’s getting to the point one can’t tell Free Repuclic threads from Democrat Underground threads. This is how deranged the Trump vs. Cruz battle has become on here.

 

This has nothing to do with the Trump/Cruz arguments. FR has always reported on the LIES of the other side. If all we do is surrond ourselves with the truth, then how will we know a lie when the enemy advances it.

It's to our benefit to expose these lies from these liberal sites and in doing so - let the TRUTH shine on.

Good grief.

This is an extremely common ploy for fund raising.

If that’s their best shot then they’ve got nothing.

And I’m a Trump supporter.

And as your post shows, you and your ilk accuse everyone who do not support Cruz of anything and everything; furthermore there is no insult that could be made against Trump or his supporters that is too vile for you to write. Whatever it is, no matter how slanderous, no matter how stupid and silly, no matter how obviously patently untrue it is, no matter how contradictory, you write it. One day he Trump dries his hair, the next day his hair is fake, yada, yada, yada, etc.! You people are making this forum tiresome and unreadable!

Talk about kill the messenger! Instead of checking for yourselves or EVEN CARING if it’s true, you just poke at the source! LIBERAL TACTICS and very dishonest.

There is dozens of sources for this!

Rafael Cruz should demand Fiorina’s corrupt PAC give back the $500,000 the Cruz PAC funneled to her PAC. Maybe then he could avoid these 3rd rate political tactics.

Exactly. Kinda sad it needs to be stated again.

And this one is SO pathetic, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.
