Ted Cruz lies and savages a friends bill without warning or reason. He lost his only friend in the senate.
Read the whole thing.

That the best you got? Come back when you’re beyond the childish antics. You just can’t get over the fact you have shoved your foot into it. But that’s ok I too have done the same. But you chose to double down. You seem to believe that someone’s longevity is akin to another taking notice of a post. When proven wrong you decide to continue the barrage. AbsoluteJustice go look it up I’ve made mention of the account multiple times and on many occasions.
Instead of feeling all mighty behind a keyboard have the fortitude to man up an say oh man I screwed that one. I’d look more highly upon you if you had. This is one Jarhead that doesn’t take Sh!t from anyone and especially a keyboard warrior
> It is tougher on violent offenders,” Lee sputtered. “That statement is inaccurate…. We’re not letting out violent offenders. That is false.”
>Lee’s communications director, Conn Carroll, confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack—and, in Lee’s view, misrepresent—his friend’s bill.
Polite words for lying.
>Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown, which Cruz spearheaded, insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare, the president might go along. As McKay Coppins reports in his new book, The Wilderness, Cruz’s own staff never actually expected the gambit to work. To Cruz’s colleagues, it was a pointless and damaging exercise, but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort.
One more lie.
>But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it’s not about Cruz’s style or his positions. It’s his disingenuousness—and inability to produce results. “He knows his tactics are bound to fail, but pursues them to debase his Republican colleagues under false pretenses and endear himself to the base as the only authentic conservative,” said the expert, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he runs an organization that does not endorse candidates. But the effort doesn’t result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare—all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz. “He is incapable of delivering anything but theater,” the expert added.
And finally what we’ve been observing from Cruz this entire primary.
BTW, Cruz will never, ever lose the Lyin’ Ted label. It just fits him far to well.
I am tired of the talk radio circuit pushing this myth that he is an “outsider” because he is not liked in the Senate. I don’t really consider that proof of an outsider—filibustering or getting in a verbal tussle with Mitch McConnell.
Its almost like the narrative is that there are 99 liberals in the Senate and Ted Cruz is the only conservative, thus he is hated.
What is more of a determination of whether he is an outsider would be the positions he takes. However, his platform is really identical to your typical Republican party candidate and positions.
“Cruz will never, ever lose the Lyin’ Ted label.”
I agree. From what I hear from Texas voters around FR he probably will lose his Senate seat.
He lies with the ease of BJC
Ted will be my senator until he runs for governor.
Man, I guess he spits on little old ladies and kicks puppies too. Look guys, Trump will win the nomination and I’m sure you folks are high fiving and having a great ole time. In your place I would be. But don’t you think enough is enough? “Piling on” is the phrase that comes to mind.
Cruz has what is known as a low social IQ.
To him, other people are merely tools he can use in his building up himself.
I always get a kick out of seeing the various ways and means someone with a particular sign on date explains how “they’ve been here so long - but it doesn’t show because.....”
I forgot my password early on and what I did was send an email to JR and asked him what it was. He emailed me with it very soon thereafter.
But don’t you think enough is enough? “Piling on” is the phrase that comes to mind.
All he has to do is drop out of the race. Since he is not, who knows what kind of dirty tricks he has up his sleeve. Until he drops out, no, it is not piling on.
If Cruz would face reality and hang it up, the opposition would stop, too. But he continues his slashing about, winning nothing, but shanghai-ing a wayward delegate here and there, piling them up for that ephemeral 4th ballot victory he’s banking on. So OF COURSE we’ll continue to oppose him. Get a clue.
Cruz has no respect for himself (because he knows himself more than anyone, he knows the lying from family to canidate)... How can respect anyone who fell for it?
Funny /s : Admin at the time - JR or otherwise - made me create a new account. All I cared about were my prior posts.
dunno....I’d expect JR or whoever had more time then.
Bkmk
Really? What lies are you referring to? DC hates Cruz because he tried to fight their power. That is why Trump’supporter Boehner hates him.. at least that is what Trump said in his daily call in to Fox news, when he said he could make the deals with congress.
For someone who claims to be an outsider, Cruz sure seems to believe that what is good for him is taboo for others....
Every minute Cruz stays in the race, he's forcing Trump to fight a two-front war.
In case nobody has noticed, Hillary has shifted into General Election mode (and not against Cruz). She knows who her opponent is going to be.
It's time for Cruz (and Kasich) to grow up, bow out and endorse Trump. This crap has gone on long enough.
