Mother Jones’ Character Assassination of Cruz’s Winning Political Strategist

Mother Jones is so upset that Ted Cruz  hired a consultant who’s capable of winning elections, the magazine smeared him by invoking a Missouri-based controversy even it admits he hasn’t genuinely been linked to. The magazine waited until deep in the second paragraph to point that out.

It was no surprise on Monday when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) formally announced his presidential bid. By last summer, he was making key hires for his campaign crew. And this included recruiting a controversial Missouri-based political operative named Jeff Roe, who is known for his ruthless, bare-knuckled style and who has recently been in the news due to a tragic death.

What Mother Jones is doing here is absolutely akin to what it pretends to be denouncing. Forget that the tragic events in Missouri aren’t linked to Roe, let’s spend a couple hundred words writing about it before bothering to point that out. This is a shameful act of character assassination on the part of Mother Jones, plain and simple. And it shouldn’t be ignored.

bad enough he is catching it heavy from the left wing BUT that was expected. The sickening thing is what some of the right is doing. I believe it was Ben Franklin who said, If we don’t hang together, we will hang separately.

I think for a great many voters, rejection by RINOs will be taken as the highest endorsement Cruz can get.

That sounds OK to me, its not like he destroyed government emails.

Liberals are squealing about Cruz worse than pigs caught running around In a mosque.
