Ted Cruz sex scandal

[farout]

That was my first thought.

Why was that your first thought?

 

[farout]

Making sexual purity part of their political "brand" sure keeps coming back to bite Republicans in the heiny.

If a persons character is one that demonstrates faithfulness in areas that is the higher road to take, that is rather unusual. If one truly lives by the principals of being totally and completely faithful to their spouse then there is no shame. However if a person says one thing and does the opposite that is more than a shame, that's a sham.

Sadly We has seen too many say one thing and live an all together different lifestyle.

What's tenuous about it? Cruz talks the Christian talk, but he seems decidedly not to walk the Christian walk.

And your proof of that is ... National Inquirer?

When Trump's own spokeswoman claims it 100% lies.

 

[farout]

I always figured that Ted Cruz's Bible thumping was just an act, especially since he showed no remorse or compassion for the people hurt when he refused to raise the debt ceiling.

I think you are wrong. I believe Ted Cruz was so convicted that raising the debt needed to stop at that point. But as we have seen the debt keeps being raised as if there is no end in sight as to how much we can borrow from China, Japan, and Germany. Any country dumb enough to loan the US money to cover our loan payments is taking a very risky chance, Future generations left to pay these loans won't be able to do anything but pay on these loans. We are sealing the next generations with a strong possibility of collapse of our governments monetary system. How they will be able to worm their way out will take an act of heaven to do so.

With all this in mind Cruz was most like a prophet yelling in the dark that calamity was coming! At the time I was upset with Curz as well, not I think he was right!

When you accuse someone who says they are genuinely walking the Christian walk, and you say that that ted Cruz is is decidedly not, give and example. That is something that makes what you say worth saying.

Every decent person should vote against Donald. Religion has nothing to do with it.

He demonstrates exactly what I have told our children they should not say or be like!

look at his demonstrated treatment of the disadvantaged.
Look

So Cruz was responsible for it all by himself? what did he do or not do?

 

[JustOneWay]

Ted Cruz an adulterer? LOL Seems like that is his and his wife's business.

That is pretty funny, and I really do not like these National Enquirer type threads.

Legit lols.

If that's the case, then he's a fool. Refusing to raise the debt ceiling doesn't mean you stop accruing debt. It only means that you stop paying for the debt you've already accrued, i.e. default.

But as we have seen the debt keeps being raised as if there is no end in sight as to how much we can borrow from China, Japan, and Germany. Any country dumb enough to loan the US money to cover our loan payments is taking a very risky chance

Not according to anybody who actually has money at stake in this - if the US were truly perceived as risky, then our interest rates would be higher. But they're not. They're low.

Ironically, Ted's plan to not raise the debt ceiling and the ensuing default WOULD cause us to be perceived as riskier

Considering about 50% of men cheat on their wives (and by the way, almost as many wives cheat on their husbands), there is a chance these allegations are true.

We have also seen, these conservative Christian types, that taught their high moral ground, get burned before that they are living a double life.

I have not seen any hard evidence yet, so it may or may not be true. At the end of the day, many politicians have affairs; some discovered, some not discovered and they still are able to do their jobs, just like any CEO or executive is still able to do their job.

Now, with these high moral ground candidates, the affair thing is more damaging, no question, but I need more evidence to conclude any of this is true.

Ironically, personal debt never works that way.

Go deep into debt and see just how many bankers willingly let you borrow even more. A balanced budget amendment has been long overdue. The cartel in Washington can't resist doling out public money to themselves and their supporters ... money taken from the taxpayers.

THE SIMPLE FLAT TAX PLAN | Ted Cruz 2016

“Imagine 4.9 million new jobs. Instead of Obama’s income stagnation, imagine average wages rising 12.2 percent over the next decade. Capital investment rising 43.9 percent. And every income-level seeing double-digit increases in after-tax income. Imagine exports and manufacturing jobs booming. Our trade deficit falling as the tax bias against American made goods is eliminated. Imagine a 10 percent income tax, with every American filling out his or her taxes on a postcard or iPhone app. And abolishing the IRS as we know it.” – Ted Cruz​

Yes! This rag is a slanderous dirt digging make things up to make money piece of trash paper.

The church I pastored LITTLE VALLEY CHURCH in Rainbow Valley, AZ, near Buckeye, AZ in 1994. The church was being forced closed by the Maricopa County, AZ board. The road our church was on was just a gravel road and it was graded and maintained by the county. The church had maybe 6 to ten cars on a Sunday morning. But the county demanded the church pave our parking lot because of the dust in the air! The church could not afford the $40,000.00 to pave it. The church could not raise the funds by the time frame to county gave. The church was either to close or fine the pastor and trustees, which left no options, so the church closed.

A day care bought the church, and did not have to pave the parking lot. There was more cars for the day care everyday that the church would have had for a month. That was a clear case of discrimination against a church.

The National Enquirer came in, and interviewed me and took pictures and made a report. Their report was on page 2. The National Inquirer got things so messed up and twisted facts and events. In the end it made me look like a missionary to a foreign land with people so poor they could hardly buy food, let alone have a pastor. This paper is a truth twister and makes their report come out any way they want.

As for Maricopa County, I hope those who did this will someday see the damage they did.

Maybe you are right and maybe you are wrong.

What will you do if the story has merit?

Apparently, it's not true in the least. Multiple women named in the article, including a Trump campaign spokeswoman have categorically denied the accusations.

Note that @KatrinaPierson isn't just calling this a lie. She's saying, correctly that it's not even plausible: "the absurdity is obvious"
...
So, overall: those of you hyping #CruzSexScandal are pushing a smear against 5 innocent woman. That's pathetic & you should be ashamed.

I just don't see this working out well for Trump.

I would expect the women to deny the allegations, even if the allegations are true.

Because women always deny these things?

Now, you're calling women liars?

If people have enough self motivation to do so, they will deny being involved in an affair, yes.

Not unusual, in the least.

Noting that typically women readily admit to affairs with well-known politicians. As the editor of Texas Monthly pointed out, the admissions almost always come out quickly. That doesn't seem to be happening here. Just sayin ...

Do you know that just the slightest inference of a pastor being unfaithful will destroy his ministry? Nales no difference that he has been an example of purity, just such a slightest doubt can get him fired!

Your suggestion that Cruz may be like 50% of cheating men has brought doubt in some peoples mind. Is that what you intended to do?

Words can kill. I read of a woman who was told by a busybody that she saw her husband with a woman a couple of times. The wife who was very insecure and had some depression and was seeing a doctor for her depression. The busybody even said she thought he was having an affair. the wife became so depressed that she killed herself. Her husband and her sister were planning a surprise birthday party for his wife.

Words kill people!
