Ted Cruz admits a bit too much about influence of corporate cash
#1
https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show...h-n1265952

"This is the point in the drama when Republicans usually shrug their shoulders, call these companies "job creators," and start to cut their taxes. Not this time. This time, we won't look the other way on Coca-Cola's $12 billion in back taxes owed. This time, when Major League Baseball lobbies to preserve its multibillion-dollar antitrust exception, we'll say no thank you. This time, when Boeing asks for billions in corporate welfare, we'll simply let the Export-Import Bank expire."

My question is, why should it be okay to look the other way on $12 billion in back taxes owed when the Corporations do what you want them to do and donate to your PAC, but not okay when they speak out against your ideology?   Angry

Is this not corruption at it's worst?

It is.  Both sides are guilty.  Ted is just saying the quiet part out loud and has his panties in a wad because corporations are going against the Big Lie.

Ted Cruz is one of the worst beings the universe has ever spit out.

He cowardly sucked up to  someone who tried to soil the reputation of his wife and father;  he blamed his child to save face for sneaking out of the country while his constituents froze ; this monster even abandoned his little pet. 

Would you trust this ?

I bet Hooter has that picture in his office. Big Grin 

I loved Ted's excuse for sleeping in Biden's speech.  It was "boring, but radical."  So Radical he couldn't keep his eyes open.

Below are some of the statements that Trump and Cruz have made about the other, funny stuff, that is unless they are leaders of your country.

Trump: "This guy Ted Cruz is the single biggest liar I have ever dealt with in my life. I mean it. ... He will lie about anything. I've met much tougher people than Ted Cruz. He's like a baby. ... He's like a little baby. Soft, weak, little baby by comparison. But for lying, he's the best I've ever seen. ... A guy like Ted Cruz, he has no clue. He never employed anybody. He's a nasty, nasty guy."

Trump: "Ted Cruz, he's seriously — he's got a mental problem. Ted Cruz is a liar. He's got a problem, that he's a liar. I've never seen anybody [lie] to that extent."

Trump then retweeted an unflattering photo of Cruz's wife, Heidi, next to a picture of his wife, Melania. The caption read: "No need to 'spill the beans.' The images are worth a thousand words."

Trump: "I think he's crazy — honestly, I think he's crazy. ... Ted does not have the temperament to be doing this.

Trump: "The State of Iowa should disqualify Ted Cruz from the most recent election on the basis that he cheated- a total fraud!"

Cruz: Trump is a "narcissist" and "serial philanderer" and "morality doesn't exist" for him.

Cruz: "Donald can't defend his own record. Whenever you point out what he's actually said, he just screams, 'liar.' He insults you. He attacks you. He makes it personal, and he gets very rattled. He doesn't like anyone pointing to his actual, substantive record. And I think that's a sign of weakness."

Cruz: "This man is a pathological liar. He doesn't know the difference between truth and lies. He lies — practically every word that comes out of his mouth."

Cruz: "I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father. ... that pledge was not a blanket commitment that if you go and slander and attack Heidi, that I'm going to nonetheless come like a servile puppy dog and say, 'thank you very much for maligning my wife and my father.'"

Cruz: "Maybe it is the case that Donald, there have been multiple media reports about Donald's business dealings with the mob, with the mafia. Maybe his taxes show those business dealings are a lot more extensive than has been reported"

Cruz: "We need a commander in chief, not a Twitterer-in-chief. ... I don't know anyone who would be comfortable with someone who behaves this way having his finger on the button. I mean, we're liable to wake up one morning, and Donald, if he were president, would have nuked Denmark."

Cruz: "I think in terms of a commander in chief, we ought to have someone who isn't springing out of bed to tweet in a frantic response to the latest polls. I think the American people is looking for a commander in chief who is stable and steady and a calm hand to keep this country safe."

What a pathetic group of socialists we have on parade here on BGR. We have a Democrat president in the White House writing trillions of dollars of checks on a non-existent national bank account and all these idiots want to do is dwell on the past instead of facing up to the catastrophes that lie ahead.

Anybody who is amused by Ted Cruz's and Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric in the 2016 Republican primaries should familiarize themselves with VP Harris's assessment of the current occupant of the Oval Office - but seriously, you idiots should start looking forward for a change. Harris was right about Biden but that has no bearing on the present or on the future. Biden is a sexist, a racist, a pedophile, and a traitor, but he is president. I don't blame you for attempting to distract from the train wreck in the White House, but your desperate tactics are very transparent.

So you're saying that it's okay to lie as long as you are campaigning for PresidentHuh That's very interesting.

My guess is that they really believed they were telling the truth then and at least one of them is lying through his teeth now. If i were Cruz, me and Trump would have been throwing them down the next time we met after he disparaged my family.

No, I what I said is very clear but playing dumb seems to be in your wheelhouse. I was very critical of Donald Trump during the 2016 primaries and Ted Cruz was my top pick but the 2016 primaries ended more than five years ago. You can spend all of your time ignoring the senile elephant in the Oval Office if you want, but all you are doing is highlighting your extreme partisanship. Repeating the lines that you are not a socialist and you are not a fan of socialism as you actively support socialism is far from convincing.

Interesting that you cannot even spell BACKBONE, Twin Ticks, but there are not many multisyllabic words that you CAN spell.  Big Grin You are nothing but leach draining resources from Americans who work hard to put food on their tables.

Ted Cruz’s 2016 ‘Running Mate’ Reveals Why She’s ‘Very Disappointed’ In Him

I have to say I’m very disappointed in Ted. I’ve been very disappointed in Ted for some time now,” she responded. “I tried to help Ted’s candidacy because I thought it would be tragic and terrible if Donald Trump were the Republican party’s nominee. Turns out I was right about Donald Trump. And sadly, it appears, I was wrong about Ted Cruz.”

It was the “age-old siren song” of “access to power and money and influence,” replied Fiorina. “The trouble is a lot of politicians care mostly about winning and they’re willing to abandon their principles in order to win.”
