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.

You would think this was the Huff-n-puff posts first exposure to any sort of election mailers and that the author of this article just got of the ship from Alpha Centarus.

Trumpophiles would post a screed from the devil himself if it bashed Ted Cruz.

It helps to expose the shrinking violets in need of a fainting couch.

Exactly. There used to be a day when HuffPo, Mother JOnes, and The Nation were laughed at here at FR. Nowadays, they are gospel truth if it is proTrump or antiCruz.

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

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

Ummm, running AGAINST ethanol in Iowa, and winning, is NOT “politics as usual”.

In addition to getting this one here in Arizona, I recently got the “$1 in the envelope” mailing from Ted. I kept the $1. Now that I have gotten to know more about him, I am regretting my early financial support. Much better to donate to the FreeRepublic.com!
