1. It’s the NYT.

2. They don’t mind if someone could upset republicans and fracture conservatives one from the other by starting rumors like: “Republican are backstabbing and smearing Cruz.” It works for them.

What can you do about it? don’t bite the bait.

Mr. Cruz, a Canadian-born lawyer who won an upset primary victory last year...

Well played, NYT -- well played.

Huffpo today is still flogging that idiotic “Cruz=McCarthy” talking point they got from their DNC bosses.

NYT going after Ted Cruz isn't as funny as the AP attacking the most anti-Obama state in the union, Utah, with this gem of a headline: Unyielding GOP politicians doing what voters ask Imagine that. Disgusting.

It was news to me also, I think that fact that they bothered to put it in the article gives it that “to be continued….” status if his popularity rises.

could be that’s how liberals operate. place a little known “fact” in an article then in a couple months or years point back to that skewed article to “prove” your point. They did that trick a lot with Palin over the years. sadly many “conservatives” believed them. It’s a hard tactic to defend against.

If I had a choice between Rubio or Cruz, I would vote for Cruz if it came down to presidental vote.

yeap 10 out of 10 times. rubio is ok. Nothing really against him. Just don’t like the “friends” he keeps. Always think I can’t be 100% sure where is loyalties are. Cruz so far has shown where his are. Rubio plays closer to the vest.

Yes, but it doesn’t matter. Just happens to have been American soil then…until stupid Carter gave away…another travesty. He could have been born anywhere, to one (legal) American parent. Alas, the hypocritical left are going to argue until they’re blue…when they covered up all discussions about Obama, or would do so again for any leftist.

yeap they will with a staight face say Cruz is illegal but Obama wasn’t it.

He/she was being sarcastic.

Hat Trick on February 16, 2013 at 12:37 PM

yes I know. Just pointing out the irony of one who did everything he/she/it could to destroy a conservative over the last 4 years calling out the dems for the same actions… pot meet kettle.
