Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign announced Tuesday that Neil Bush has joined his finance team, even though Bush was involved in a financial scandal that reportedly cost U.S. taxpayers more than a billion dollars, and though he once admitted to sex romps in Asia during his divorce proceedings.
Cruz stated in the announcement that he was “thrilled to welcome these new members to our outstanding team,” adding that the new hires were “further testament that conservatives are continuing to unite behind this campaign.”
A federal agency ruled in 1991 that Bush, former President George W. Bush’s brother, had multiple conflicts of interest while he was a director at the federally insured Silverado Savings and Loan in the 1980s, The Los Angeles Times reported.
Office of Thrift Supervision director T. Timothy Ryan Jr. said at the time that Bush “engaged in unsafe and unsound practices and breaches of his fiduciary duties involving multiple conflicts of interest.”
Bush improperly hid his business dealings with some who were borrowing from Silverado, Ryan ruled. Bush was ordered to follow strict rules of conduct if he ever worked at another savings and loan association.
In 2003, The Washington Post reported that Silverado lent $140 million to Denver developers Ken Good and Bill Walters, even though “the two men’s real estate empires were collapsing.” Good used some of that money to invest in Bush’s oil exploration company JNB Exploration. (Walters had also given JNB $150,000 in start-up money.)
“While serving on the Silverado board, Bush helped arrange a $900,000 line of credit from Silverado for a drilling venture in Argentina in which he and Good were partners,” according to the Post.

Cruz values ain’t what they used to be.
Strike 1: TPP
Strike 2: Neil Bush
Strike 3: ??????
Neil Bush, brother of Jeb Bush. All that one needs to know about the Cruz campaign.
I really have to wonder what Cruz is thinking here. If Trump took on this guy, I would feel the same way about him.
Strike 3: How about the “win at all costs” campaigning in Iowa? Want a strike 4?: on some threads, there’s a link to the things Cruz said about Trump supporters being “low information”.
[ Strike 3: How about the “win at all costs” campaigning in Iowa? ]
As if Trump didn’t attack Cruz initially because he was see as a threat. and a re-tweet of a CNN story is not a Nefarious Plot.

Trump in his own words loves the poorly educated people...
Guilt by association? Is that where you’re going with this?
Corker Bill
You have to be really low information to support Cruz at this point.
Now Romney AND Bush will be on the ballot in November. Great job Teddy. Dems are laughing all the way to the bank.
“I really have to wonder what Cruz is thinking here. If Trump took on this guy, I would feel the same way about him.”
Same here. I thought Cruz was supposed to be the intelligent candidate.
As well he should. Without them, he'd be nothing.
Doesn’t matter. We NEED Ted to win because he’s the anointed one!
Maybe he's good at his job? Just a thought.
But he’s going to take on the Washington cartel...

Forgot about that i had that lumped into the TPP bill in my head.
So great who the hell am i supposed to vote for now.
I can’t vote for Cruz, I cannot vote for Trump (I honestly don;t trust the guy not to flip back to some of his own liberal stances once elected).
I guess it is back to “Who do I vote AGAINST” again for the umpteenth time...
Doesn’t matter. We NEED Ted to win because he’s the anointed one!
Yep. Anointed by Bishop Romney and the Bush Cartel.
“Maybe he’s good at his job?”
