Look what I came up with out of (one of) Cruz's SuperPacs....
$500,000 given to Carly Fiorina's SuperPac in June of 2015!
Gee, why would that happen? You know, Fiorina is an advocate for, among other things, The DREAM act, Muslims everywhere (especially in the United States) and damn the Jihadists among them, a global, multicultural society (her words, not mine), and is even associated with The Clinton Global initiative!
Oh, and of course she believes Climate Change is not only real it's man-made and she's a Common Core supporter. All of this is not secret and most of it she proudly talked about during her (suicidal) campaign.
A competitive race was being held between candidates that had wildly-divergent views with competing SuperPacs all trying to beat each other's brains out.... right?
Or is the truth a bit more..... complex? After all it's not like damn near the entire Bush team hasn't shown up over at Cruz's campaign recently. Oh wait.... they did.
Might Ted really be the globalist and one-worlder that his wife is known to be, since she's on the CFR and works for Goldman? Might there be a bit of game-playing going on, since $500,000 certainly did flow from one organization to the other....
Now add to that an endorsement from a woman who offshored like crazy, firing people at not just one but two companies, destroying a wide swath of good-paying American jobs!
That, my friends, is what you're "buying" with a vote for Cruz -- more offshoring, more lost jobs and more personal financial******delivered by a so-called "conservative outsider."
Taqiyya is not only for muslims, you know.
It appears it's also a good moniker for Ted Cruz.
Or maybe we should just call him Nixon.
My assertion: Ted Cruz is a Wall Street, globalist, one-world plant. If you support him this nation dies.
PS: The Pac is formally run by Robert Mercer, a hedge fund co-CEO and one of the largest individual donors over the last couple of election cycles. Yeah, a hedgie.

I don't like Cruz and find him creepy. Everyone I've talked to finds Cruz creepy. Either they like him, but find him creepy, or don't like him and find him creepy.
Definition of creepy: causing an unpleasant feeling of fear or unease.
Often, feeling unease about someone is because they are LYING!
This video of Cruz in his high school days talking about world domination is pretty creepy!

"Richard Nixon is a no-good lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, hed lie just to keep his hand in[Nixon is] the easiest man to beat. Harry Truman, 1960
Nixon pretended to be far right. But he opened up US for China, made our currency unbacked, and created EPA. He was the real Manchurian Candidate.

Ignore any nitwits trying to adorn you with a tinfoil hat for uttering stuff like:
"Ted Cruz is a Wall Street, globalist, one-world plant."
How could it be otherwise, being Cruz is married to Goldman Sachs (revolving door of government/fedreserve and private high finance) & the CFR*.
*Though the CFR comes up often in materials and conversations dealing with international conspiracies, one needs just read their openly published and distributed journal and examine the records of members in order to figure out what these characters are up to.

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
I get it, there is a big pile of stink all over this campaign.
However I'm having difficulty reconciling that with the uphill-battle which was the Senate primary he went through here in TX. It was a long campaign, expensive, and framed as "tea party" vs. "establishment" much like Rubio's Senate campaign. Was that all a grand show for the masses, or did he flip later?

I had a woman come to my door last week, smartphone in hand, and she wanted to ask me some questions about Ted Cruz. I told her that her questions were irrelevant since he did not meet the constitutionally mandated requirements for becoming president. She looked at me with a funny look on her face, and left. Obviously, she was not one of my former American Government students. They are all very familiar with the Constitution, as written.

Makes you wonder how many plants there've been over the years....
good point..
When you consider that we're a somewhat conservative nation that does NOT want to be like Europe and then you consider that Europe is exactly the direction these bastards who get elected over and over are taking us...
My back of the envelope estimation of how many have been plants puts my figure at "most of them".

Cruz has become quite adroit at saying one thing while his history shows him doing the other. Rather than the outsider he claims to be, Ted Cruz is the ultimate insider, former top Bush 41 policy aide and globalist, Ivy Leaguer, and establishment insider. There is no better example of this than Calgary Teds actions surrounding the big Wall Street banks and their secret funding of his political ascension. Oil and Gas Millions fund this guy Cruz has been gorging at the table of the ultimate insider of all insiders Goldman Sachs and Citibank. His TPP support is the proof in the pudding.
I have recently had to sever a friendship that went back to 1975, due to Cruz Rabidity.
My former friend is a one-issue guy, listening only to what Cruz says about his faith. My friend dismisses all of the other enormous issues, including CRBA, Goldman Sachs, his easily-obtainable and well-documented positions on all sides of many issues.
People are going rabid over this election. One more instance of how thin and brittle people are becoming.
@Tsherry: Ideologues gonna ideologue. Whether the issue is conservative, liberal, AGW, gun control, or as in your friend's case, religion.

I've turned into a one-issue guy over the last few years.. That issue is my families survival. Open-border policies impact my chance at survival in many ways and I believe many states are on the cusp of becoming CA.. A few more imported 3rd world voters and they'll be there.. That makes immigration my number one issue this time around.. Probably shoulda been playing closer attention to it long before now.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.. The left has embraced allowing an in-your-face full-on border invasion... The right has embraced a less obvious behind-the-scenes approach with their H1B programs, etc.. Both are equally devastating to the middle-class and rule of law..
I can't entertain the idea of backing a guy that I suspect might have thrown in with the globalists on this issue. The stakes are too high..
@Smacktle agree, I've never really been against him, just never fully trusted him.. Now I can say I'm definitely against him.
Edit: Freakin Rush is explaining Trump's success as basically a "cult of personality".. That's BS and every bit as much insulting as Cruz saying I'm just stupid.. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2016/0.... he's as clueless as everybody else on this.. Shame on him.

I just had a robo call from an entity bravely showing up on my caller ID as "Private Caller". It was an anti-Trump call. I listened all the way through it. They did rapidly announce that it was from a PAC, and very quickly said the phone number to contact said PAC. I am amazed. The Illinois Primary in on Tuesday, and normally it decides absolutely nothing. The Establishment must be really getting worried if they are calling up people to smear Trump this time around and in this benighted State.
In his Prince, Machiavelli frequently uses the examples of the lion and of the fox. My experience with a fair number of politicians these days, is that most are neither lions, nor foxes. Instead most are just weasels.
As for single issue Bible Thumpers for Cruz, the late Conservative Russell Kirk, considered Christianity to be the anti-ideology. If you are a Christian, in his learned opinion, you do not need an ideology, Christianity suffices as a world view.
Just had a very poorly recorded robo call from some outfit calling themselves Patriotic Veterans. The shill was questioning why Trump had 5 draft deferments. That is no more than Dick Cheney, and he is a noted chickenhawk. Bush the Junior got into the Texas Air National Guard, when it was almost impossible to do so to evade the draft, and bravely learned how to fly a plane not used in combat in Vietnam. Then, there are Cruz's and Rubio's war records... Most of us who fought over there didn't have any choice, we were conscripted. Perhaps Cruz the Constitutional Originalist can show me the section of the 13th Amendment allowing military involuntary servitude. I have yet to see it myself.
I can't say I'm totally surprised on that one.. That's kind of a big blow to Cruz though, don't ya think? He's the guy who's supposed to be getting the evangelist bloc.. hehe.
Could a Trump/Carson ticket be in the making and would that be a good thing? He's got to know the medical industry is raping the American people.. I'm not sure I'd want him in the WH.

I'm remembering the February 6 debate introductions on ABC. That was a monumentally screwed up moment of stagecraft, believe me. Amateur stage managers (like me) do not miss entrances to that degree.
Let's remember how it went:
Christie was called first, did it right.
Carson maybe missed hearing his name, which is where a stage manager was needed out of camera view at his side to kickstart him.
Cruz blows right past Carson, who is now visibly in the entrance tunnel. That's jerk moment #1.
Trump comes to stand at Carson's side and stays there until a semblance of order is restored. That's classy moment #1.
Rubio blows right past Trump and Carson, looking pretty smug or something. That's jerk moment #2.
Bush walks past both of them, but either taps Trump on the upper arm or maybe pushes him aside for a moment. (Slo-mo shows an apparently rather angry Donald Trump and a sort of confused looking Ben Carson.) That's jerk moment #3.
Kasich either doesn't get called or doesn't hear his name, and stands back.
Trump allows Carson to enter the stage, waits for the applause to subside, and then takes the stage in a pretty dignified manner. That's classy moment #2.
Christie asks if he can introduce Kasich. The announcer calls Kasich, and he enters.
I'm thinking Carson's endorsement, if it happens, is nothing more than a little bit of "nice guy payback" at this point.
In the South we have a little saying, "Class and breeding will tell."
