Of course, to be perfectly honest; every swinging dick here who is apologizing for Cruz, would also be tripping over their own feet to come to Trump's defense had he also been guilty of failing to report a loan to The Federal Election Committee as required by the law, and pulling that same sort of flim flam on the voters.
Not really.

It's obvious really. The "slime ball", to use your own words, is the candidate who hid his loan, as well as his financial association with the lenders, from the voters, and didn't report them as required by law. Not the guy who followed the law and adhered to the legal reporting requirements regarding his political donations. I'm sure you'd have given Donald Trump a similar pass had he done the same as Cruz in this matter.

You drive anywhere this morning? Yesterday? Did you happen to go over the speed limit, not come to a complete stop at a stop sign? How about making sure you had your turn signal on 300ft before you made the turn? Things required by law. Pretty sure I should just question everything you post now, even things I agree with.

And so many think Cruz is not an establishment candidate. Do you know who else carries Goldman Sach's water? BHO. The establishment isn't the RNC, it's Wall Street. He got a fucking loan from them. That doesn't mean he's carrying their water. Show me where Cruz has used his position in the Senate to make legislation, cast votes, or otherwise exploit his influence to unfairly favor Goldman Sach's. If he's done that I wanna know. I'm a huge Ted supporter but if he's dirty I wanna know. Simply taking out a loan at a fair market rate using his assets as collateral and paying it back is not dirty though. He could have gotten that loan anywhere. If Ted is carrying water for Goldman Sachs what's in it for him? What did Goldman Sachs give him in return? Just a loan? That's what banks do. It doesn't appear he was given an extraordinary deal in any way. It just doesn't appear to be dirty in any way. |

To me that would just show Cruz was the weaker hopeful just like it's being seen that !Jeb! is. Don't leave openings in your armor for your competition to exploit. Simple as that. If one is going to get into the grease pit of presidential primary politics to work on a POTUS run then one should expect to get some grease on them along with skinned-up knuckles.

Does that make him the superior candidate to elect to the presidency on that one single issue? I don't know; but Donald is the one and only financiallyn independent candidate who has run for President since, well.......forever.

He didn't hide it. It was disclosed in other records. It just want properly disclosed by his campaign manager apparently. There is no indication he was given a favor or did anything in return. If that qualifies him as a slime ball then everyone who has ever taken out a loan is a slime ball. This shit is nonsense. |

Cruz oppo dump month continues.
Birtherism didn't work last week. So now it's the fact his wife believed so much in her husband's campaign, she took out a loan they repaid and publicly disclosed while they were being out-spent by the establishment, 25-1. Which was disclosed publicly weeks prior to the election back in 2012, and was reported on over two years ago by multiple outlets. So it's not even a New York Times "scoop" but a rehash. Yes, it should've been disclosed on the FEC form, but if they wanted to hide it why did they disclose it at all? And how come the FEC didn't launch an investigation about this two years ago if it wasn't a nothing burger? You only have 8 days until Cruz returns to close out Iowa, trolls, and you've got to come stronger than this. I mean, seriously, by this point in Iowa eight years ago we were subjected to Huckabee is a Christian socialist and his son killed dogs at a summer camp (and yes, I'm serious that happened). Frankly, I expected better this go-around. Caught you slippin. |

LOL. Because the some lawyer working on behalf of the GOPe and JEB bush having filed some "complaint" with the SEC means that " Trump has violated federal election law" and is exactly the same thing as Cruz's refusal to report campaign loans and their documents to,the Federal Election committee as required by law and fooling the voters as to how his campaign was being funded by Goldman Sachs. "A Republican lawyer working on behalf of outside groups supporting Jeb Bush for president filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday alleging that Donald Trump is illegally mixing his campaign interests with corporate business.??"

Show me where Cruz has used his position in the Senate to make legislation, cast votes, or otherwise exploit his influence to unfairly favor Goldman Sach's. If he's done that I wanna know. I'm a huge Ted supporter but if he's dirty I wanna know. Simply taking out a loan at a fair market rate using his assets as collateral and paying it back is not dirty though. He could have gotten that loan anywhere. If Ted is carrying water for Goldman Sachs what's in it for him? What did Goldman Sachs give him in return? Just a loan? That's what banks do. It doesn't appear he was given an extraordinary deal in any way. It just doesn't appear to be dirty in any way. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: How soon some of us forget. The Senator voted FOR Corker-Cardin (the bill which set up the Iran nuclear trade deal after he voted AGAINST it and he voted FOR "fast track authority" before he voted AGAINST it. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Obviously, as evidenced by 100% of his voting record. OH WAIT, that doesn't help your cause at all. Cruz 2016 How soon some of us forget. The Senator voted FOR Corker-Cardin (the bill which set up the Iran nuclear trade deal after he voted AGAINST it and he voted FOR "fast track authority" before he voted AGAINST it. This game of CHESS is very hard for people to understand who only play checkers and appear to have a losing record at that. Crown him. |

How is Canuck Cruz getting a Goldman Sachs loan worse than the Clintons setting up a billion dollar shell corporation/charity and using it to launder/funnel money into Hillary's campaign, while paying themselves a metric fuckton to administrate it? It's not worse; it's just business as usual among the political and donor classes. VOTE FOR CRUZ......BECAUSE....BUSINESS AS USUAL CRUZ...BECAUSE HILLARY IS EVEN MORE DISHONEST |

Quoted:
In after the snarky Cruz apologists, especially those intellectually dishonest hucksters that brayed like jackasses to the effect that Heidi Cruz's position as an important Managing Director at Goldman Sachs and one of the most powerful people on Wall Street was of no consequence to the Cruz campaign. Cruz has been bought and paid for like a cheap suit.
Ironic sigline is ironic.
You're not the only one who has found that one amusing. |

LOL. Because the some lawyer working on behalf of the GOPe and JEB bush having filed some "complaint" with the SEC means that " Trump has violated federal election law" and is exactly the same thing as Cruz's refusal to report campaign loans and their documents to,the Federal Election committee as required by law and fooling the voters as to how his campaign was being funded by Goldman Sachs. "A Republican lawyer working on behalf of outside groups supporting Jeb Bush for president filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday alleging that Donald Trump is illegally mixing his campaign interests with corporate business.??"

My point being, why is campaign finance the cross you decided to carry? Instead of a political position? Because it speaks to both the honestly and viability of a candidate and it's important. So its OK when Trump violates federal election law, but its not ok when Cruz does it. Yeah, that really speaks to your honesty.

I don't know whether you're stupid or intellectually dishonest - I'm tending to believe the latter since you are (or were) an admitted political operative in NY - but the issue in federal election law is not who makes the complaint; its what the actual violation was. Nice attempt to deflect the issue, but the real issue here is Trump's use of Trump Organization resources for Trump's own political purposes, which is an illegal in kind donation. The documents are out there on the net and I've linked to them. Alan Garten from the Trump Organization sent cease and desist letters, on Trump Organization letterhead, on behalf of Trump's political campaign, which is an illegal in kind donation. Sorather than trying to deflect the issue, why don't you address it head on? Also, since you believe Clark Spies making the complaint to the FEC is not necessarily proof of wrongdoing by Trump, who made the complaint about Cruz, or did the FEC take up the matter sua sponte? ETA - personally, I don't think either alleged violation is really that noteworthy, except Clark Spies response to Alan Garten was hilarious. |
