Ted Cruz's Canadian, Goldman Sachs values
Mofo Politics ^ | Jan. 17, 2016 | MP

Posted on 01/18/2016 4:03:54 AM PST by VitacoreVision



In the back-and-forth over "New York values", Team Cruz is now circulating a video of Trump espousing more liberal positions, 17 years ago.

It worth noting, however, that Ted Cruz espoused more liberal positions– in some cases– just 17 weeks ago…

Green Cards

In 2013, Cruz proposed doubling "the overall worldwide green card caps from 675,000 visas per year to 1.35 million per year (not including refugees and asylum-seekers)."

He flip-flopped in 2015.

Guest Workers

In 2013, Cruz proposed raising the number of H-1Bs from 65,000 to 325,000.

He flip-flopped in 2015.

Amnesty

In 2013, Cruz proposed an amendment “to provide a legal status for those who are here illegally”. In 2014, he handed out teddy bears to illegal aliens.

He flip-flopped in 2015.

Birthright Citizenship

In 2011, Cruz defended birthright citizenship.

He flip-flopped in 2015.

TPP

In April, Cruz joined Paul Ryan in support of Obama’s TPP.

He flip-flopped in June.

Snowden

When the GOP’s libertarian wing was ascendant in 2013, Cruz thanked Edward Snowden for “a considerable public service”.

He flip-flopped in January.

Crop Insurance

Cruz initially voted w/ budget hawks to cut crop insurance.

He flip-flopped after blow back from Iowa farmers.

On TPP, he told Chris Wallace that underlings misled him.

Miss Smarmelade, you mama should have taught you not to fib.

The fact is that Cruz never said any such thing to Chris Wallace or anyone else. You are lying straight up.

What Ted Cruz told Chris Wallace was that there was an innocent staff screw up about the order of the vote. This was wholly inadvertent, not intentional as would be be the case if he had been misled by them.

You are a shameless and immoral liar. I suppose that I ought not be surprised -as your lack of moral character is very appropriate considering the similar lack of character and ethics of your favorite.

Interesting but not enough for Trump to overcome all the things about him I detest.

Your personal attacks mean nothing to me. You do not know me and I do not know you. In fact, I’ve never heard of you. You Cruz types are doing the old Rick Perry supporter routine of demonizing non-supporters and trying to get them banned. Been there, done that, and I’m still here.

Cruz indeed blamed underlings as you admit in your post “...Ted Cruz told Chris Wallace was that there was an innocent staff screw up...” (I don’t remember him using the word “innocent” but I’ll grant you that

Really? Highly intelligent people don't rely on others. They form their own opinions. Isn't this equivalent to voting on the bill before reading it?

In the case of Cruz switching his vote on crop insurance its even worse...Cruz is blaming his staff for mixing up the order of the votes when in fact he switched his vote after Sen. Pat Roberts told him a no vote would hurt him in Iowa.

Cruz folks are starting to behave like Linda Blair in The Exorcist. Nothing new during primary season. Just bring out the Cross and Holy Water - it’ll protect you against their hysteric abuse.

I’m getting mixed up on what he blamed on his staff. Everything, I guess.

I kept waiting for someone to post an article or video from Cruz’s appearance on Fox but it never happened.

Now I know why...

One word.....UNCTUOUS!

You should know by now the Trumpophiles do not let the facts get in the way of a good narrative.

Please, be specific. What did I post that's "stupid and dishonest"?

FWIW, when I disagreed with you, I never expressed an opinion that your views are "stupid and dishonest". Where is that nastiness coming from?

Amen. Been a fan of Trump since I was a kid on my first trip to New York. In the past week I’ve been completely turned off. As much by the irrationality of supporters as Trumps return to using leftist attacks. I went from Trump being my first or second choice to being off my list. If he gets off this track I might be able to get back in board. If he’s going to act like a democrat, I am out. He did it to attwck Walker using Bernie Sanders like attacks. I gave him a pass because it was early and it became clear Walkers campaign had become a mess and he didn’t have the fire to run. Now he’s doing it again. Not presidential and certainly not conservative.

I just responded to him.....
....and should not have held back on what I really thought!

He was rude, insulting and mean.

Exorcist indeed!!!!!!

I’ve always hated the Exorcist.....tore up the book when it first came out, it was so offensive.
......So I know what you mean!

Who was it? Sometimes during primary season, it’s best to keep a list of freepers you don’t want to communicate with!
