The integrity of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been questioned repeatedly on the campaign trail. In fact, his chief presidential rival Donald Trump has taken to calling him “Lyin’ Ted” at every opportunity.
And it doesn’t look like things are going to get any easier for the Cruz campaign.
Monday, federal securities regulators charged Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — a political ally and friend of Cruz — with four counts of civil fraud. That piles on even more legal troubles for Paxton, who is already under criminal indictment for allegations that he deceived friends and wealthy investors — at least once with high-pressure tactics.
Cruz had campaigned for Paxton in his last election, appearing on stage at Paxton’s political rallies and referring to him as a “good friend” and “tireless conservative warrior.”
The lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission provoked new calls from critics that Paxton should resign but no public response from state Republican leaders, including Gov. Greg Abbott. Cruz’s campaign has also been mum on the situation.
Paxton, who has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of securities fraud handed up by a Texas grand jury last summer, has said he won’t step down and has faced no public pressure from state leaders to do so. But questions about his private financial dealings have made for a tumultuous first 16 months on the job.
The new federal lawsuit essentially mirrors the charges in Paxton’s criminal case — that in 2011 he defrauded investors in a high-tech startup called Servergy Inc., a data server company. But a new 26-page federal court filing provides a far more detailed narrative of Paxton’s alleged misdeeds than what has previously been made public.
The SEC describes how Paxton allegedly betrayed a friend, raised $840,000 and pressured one investor to make a “hasty decision” to immediately invest, thereby increasing the value of Servergy stock that Paxton received as commission. Paxton’s investor recruiting took when he was still a state legislator.
SEC investigators say Paxton claimed he planned to invest $100,000 of his own money into Servergy but that company founder Bill Mapp refused. The lawsuit alleges Paxton said Mapp told him, “I can’t take your money. God doesn’t want me to take your money.” Paxton claimed he accepted Servergy shares as a gift, according to the lawsuit.
But both state prosecutors and now the SEC accuse Paxton of never telling investors Servergy paid him to raise money.
The investors wouldn’t have invested had they “known Paxton was being paid to promote the company,” the lawsuit reads.
Those same allegations led to Paxton’s indictment in his hometown and facing a possible sentence of five to 99 years in prison if convicted. By filing a civil lawsuit, federal regulators aren’t seeking prison time but instead want Paxton to pay back “any ill-gotten gains or unjust enrichment” and be ordered to pay additional financial penalties.
SEC investigators allege that one investor considered Paxton “a personal friend” and believed that Paxton was also investing in the company. According to the lawsuit, that investor “grew worried” when promises about product shipment failed to materialize, and that Paxton “did nothing” to determine whether those company milestones were true.
Paxton attorney Bill Mateja said he was surprised the SEC chose to file the charges a year after Paxton’s criminal indictment.
“Like the criminal matter, Mr. Paxton vehemently denies the allegations in the civil lawsuit and looks forward to not only all of the facts coming out, but also to establishing his innocence in both the civil and criminal matters,” Mateja said.
During a heated GOP primary race in 2014, Paxton admitted to breaking state securities laws by not disclosing how he received commissions for referring his private law clients to a financial planner. He paid a $1,000 fine, downplayed it as an oversight and went on to handily beat an establishment Republican who counted former President George W. Bush as a supporter.
A Dallas state appeals court is scheduled to take up the criminal indictments next month.

Where do you get this report? Surf the web? Where?
The Horn News
Is Cruz running holding his Bible high in the air as his campaign lies.
They think it will help deflect any lighting bolts.
Donald Trump is the one who was “holding the Bible high.” Remember? Trump is a fake Christian.
Cruz is to stupid to know the establishment is only using to go after Trump. They hate his guts.
Thomas Canavin, I’m sure Cruz realizes should they eliminate Trump by hook or crook, the Elite Establishment will come after him. Sadly, in this acrid and corrupt political environment in order to win in the first place you don’t reject support from those you know could and likely will become your enemies.
Consider the support Trump gets from white supremacists. He doesn’t reject it. But Trump IS NOT a racial or ethnic bigot. Securing our borders, deporting illegals, and vetting legal immigrants are all commonsense measures that ARE the FIRST DUTIES of the federal government. The SECOND DUTY of the federal government is to protect the rights and benefits of CITIZENS.
Both candidates know this, although Trump is far more vocal about it, and it appeals to a very frustrated and angry conservative patriotic segment of our population.
Well duh, you might try to Google The Marshall Report just for a start genious.
Lol
Richard-
Gotta say, that’s hilarious; you call someone a name that derogates their intelligence, and MISSPELL it! ROFL!
(“genius” is correct; “genious”? *snork*)
You notice how this issue moves right up to the front of the news. Cruz is guilty before proven innocent. Skipping right over Hillary’s crap. The news media and Obama are all in bed together. At this rate we will be offering America to the Muslim culture with this next election. Congress is not doing their job. God please bless America and remove the Muslim culture from this earth.
As Trump frequently was on stage with the politicians he bribed,including Madam Cankle and Willie Boy,I guess he too was involved in White Water,stealing FBI files,failing to save the lives of Americans in Libya and elsewhere,stock fraud,wherein she “earned”$100,000 for a $500 investment in one week,etc. About as convincing as the pathetic National Enquirer story published by Trump’s “pal”,naming Roger Stone,his dirty tricks man within the body of the story, BUT NO ONE ELSE.Evaluate facts rather than wishful blather.
Cruz is as bad as Hillary. Glen Beck called him Moses. What an ahole he is. He some help with a shrink
So someone expresses support for Ted Cruz. He turns out to be a dirtbag. Ted Cruz is NOT responsible for the misdeeds of a person who identifies himself as a supporter.
Just who has ever insinuated that Trump was involved with Clinton in “White Water, stealing FBI files, failing to save the lives of Americans in Libya and elsewhere, stock fraud, wherein she “earned” $100,000 for a $500 investment in one week, etc.”?
I think you’re trying to obfuscate and misdirect the matter. Still, Trump has had his share of problems, but let’s not play the demagogue.
By the way, I’m not a fan of The Bully Trump.
Why will you blame Obama for any crookedness committed by republicans? How racist can you be?
Herc, I hope you’re being satirical. However, with all the blame put on a white president by Mr. Obama and his followers, would that make them racist?
At least cruz isn’t treated as badly as Trump. Sad how the media controls people’s minds like puppets.
You are correct. I don’t know how most people can’t see that. It’s time Now! to beat the establishment
if they don’t get obambam and hil–liar–y out of our white house we are doomed. vote for DONALD TRUMP WE HAVE A CHANCE.
Perfect .I like your statement.
What about the governor? Previous governor? Teddy seems to attract like minded people. A fine fella who mastered dirty tricks from dirty people. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Big deal! Heidi isn’t running for president. When the bank bail out was voted on Ted Cruz voted against it. Besides, there is nothing wrong with working for a bank! Remember, Trump supported the bail out and he is running!
This is what people will get if they vote for Clinton. Nothing but corruption.
Corruption will be continue with any establishment candidate.
Really? I don’t think the Trumpsters will want to go there. Look at all of Trump’s mafia buddies who are in prison. Give me a break! This guy from Texas is most likely a victim of the Obama “Justice” Department. Obama hates Texas!
I believe that possibly T. Cruz may be exactly what Donald Trump has been accusing Ted Cruz as to being Lying Ted & Just Maybe Ted Cruz is a Wolf in Sheep Clothing & A plant in this system to continue to keep the GOP running as usual & We the People have had more than We the People should have to DEAL with. They don’t want their ($$$$ APPLE CART TOPPLED) or their control of it messed with & want lawlessness & unconstitutional behavior to continue controlling WE the PEOPLE & BIG GOVERNMENT to be running the USA & forget about WE THE PEOPLE & ONE NATION UNDER GOD & IN GOD WE TRUST & want to continue speaking & promising to be “Christians & Conservatives & when it all started to be exposed with John Boehner in his position & telling We the People he was taking care & backing the Conservatives as they all tell We the People exactly what WE want to hear & exactly what We are praying for as “Our Christian Nation is being turned into an Ungodly breeding ground for satanic control in many different names IE: Radical Terrorism population throughout the USA & the White House is being run by them & since finding out when Obama used the Quran when he was sworn into office & He now states openly the USA is not a CHRISTIAN NATION & how all along of his comments about transforming America like there was some sort of need for change & Our Founding Fathers Documents were outdated. These original DOCUMENTS for Our Free Nation were created with the use of “THE HOLY BIBLE” which is the only “BOOK” in HISTORY of all mankind that has always been extremely pertinent with all time eras. We need to kick out all TRAITORS before it is too late to SAVE the only FREE CHRISTIAN NATION B4 the USA IS A RADICAL ISLAM NATION & WE the PEOPLE cannot allow this president & his administration to stay there any longer. We are already in “CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE STATUS” how many days will it be B4 IT IS TOO LATE TO STOP EVIL RUNNING OUR/WE THE PEOPLE’S MOST PRIZED POSSESSION OF OUR CREATOR GOD ALONG WITH ISRAEL. Freedom is not FREE & must BE FOUGHT FOR & WE CAN’T PUT THIS OFF ANY LONGER WE MUST GET RIGHT WITH OUR GOD & WHAT THE REAL REASON THE USA IS HERE & NOW. We the USA has always been A LIGHT HOUSE TO THE LOST & THE SALT OF THE EARTH NATION & FRIENDS with ISRAEL & GOD HAS HONORED THE USA FOR THIS BUT since Obama has destroyed as much of our friendship with Israel that will leave Our USA without GO’s covering, protection & Blessings & the AMERICAN DREAM OF A FREE NATION where all mankind is equal & wipe out the reason the “PILGRIMS” came here “FREEDOM TO LIVE A LIFE WHERE WE COULD WORSHIP THE ONE & ONLY CREATOR GOD & HIS SON JESUS “THE LAMB OF GOD WHO TOOK AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD @ CALVARY FOR ALL MANKIND SO WE could SPEND ETERNITY WITH OUR CREATOR IN HEAVEN & THE “TRINTY” WE MUST STOP & GET RID OF THE EVIL THAT IS DESTROYING THE USA AMEN !!!
Typical Cruz behavior. Cruz is a typical lawyer and politician that can’t be trusted. He needs to be dumped, and Trump should be nominated. However, that shows you how crooked the GOP is that they would support a snake like Cruz. Hillary, or whomever the Democrats nominate, would eat him alive. He espouses Christian and moral rhetoric but is no more Christian than is Satan. Yet, I fear he could get the nomination because the GOP can control him, they cannot control Trump.
Trump has just got to win rest of states!!! I want to see this illegal stuff tied to Cruz in the news!!!
I can’t stand a liar and cheat. That’s what he is.
Here is why they are trying to stop cruz. Read this:
https://thehornnews.com/revealed-obama-planning-nuclear-option-supreme-court-fight/
I can’t stand people that accuse people of lying and cheating on nothing but hearsay. Get the facts before you start accusing people on just talking points.
Well try Iowa Cruz outfit cost Dr.Carson allot of votes.Ask Rubio about Hawaii ask about the photoshopped Ads what had to be removed.
Still buying the false story about what happened in Iowa? It was CNN that caused the problem.
MARTIN YOU BETTER WAKE UP BEFORE IT TOO LATE. BEEN PROVEN CRUZ IS A LIAR.
Then don’t trust Trump
The Flim-Flam man Moedecai Jones aka as Ted Cruz, master of backstabbing, corkscrewing and dirty dealing, his speciality is rigged punchboards and stuffing ballot. Ones.
Lyin’ Ted Cruz has chosen to lie down with the dog Paxton and has been laden with Paxton fleas. Lyin’ Ted chooses to associate himself with liars, cheaters, prostitutes, thieves, traitors, money launderers, and whatever gutter crap attaches itself to his shoes. He stinks to high heavens. Yet he comes across as this holier-than-thou bible thumper. He is the original sheep in wolf’s clothing. Ted, didn’t your mother teach you that honesty is the best policy? And didn’t she teach you to respect women, ESPECIALLY your wife? CUT THE CRAP, TED CRUZ AND SHOW YOUR TRUE SELF!!! Or are you even capable of doing that? IF you are illegally chosen the nominee, the millions who have voted for Donald Trump will give their vote elsewhere….CAPICE????
I capice you don’t know what you are talking about
YOU THE ONE THAT’S GOT YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND. BETTER WISE UP KK.
I cant stand people who are just straight up stupid . cruz is a senator a politician a lying politican he dont care about this country he just after the spotlight. Tell me why is it a mexican can jump the borded give brith and the child has U S citizen ship ( so they claim ) lying ted is a Canadian not an American .. He shouldnt even be allowed to clean toilets with out a work visa. If the g o p dont stop lying about the count their going to have a big problem are they that stupid and self absorbed that they think we the people wont demand the truth we already know trumps won . its like they have picked this country apart pick by pick in the last ten plus years pick by pick by pick weve been pick apart pick by pick
LYIN DONNY. .changes his stance like we change our clothes..there is nothing being charged against Cruz..check facts before believing any site
And….
Didn’t your mother ever teach you that if you couldn’t say something nice, to not say anything at all?
And…
It’s wrong to spread rumors that are not true.
Dd, you mean like the bully blackmailing extorting Trump does?
I tend to agree.
Typical Trump behavior when loses he cries out lier. That really speaks to the how he is going to fix America. Throwing out insults and false accusations will not make America Great Agin. No one wants to follow that kind of a leader.
Is this article about Trump and how did I miss this?? Duh!! Oh wait!! It’s about the establishment glory hole boy, cruz!!
This whole article is an attempt to make it seem like Cruz has done something wrong because he knows someone who may have done something wrong. I do not know who is at the bottom of it but I am unimpressed. I believe that Cruz is America’s only hope of being saved. If you vote Trump, you vote for someone who has a history of shady business deals who is in the game for his own self aggrandizement. In my opinion, he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. If he ever gets into office, his supporters will be sadly disappointed when they see that his promises will not be fulfilled and Trump will just wheel and deal with the Dems and RINOs in Washington DC.
Hey Rich, I couldn’t have said it better and couldn’t agree more. It’ll be just like this Obama administration lies lies and more lies. Where’s the transparency that he promised? Where is we can keep our physician if we want two? Oh wait he did say that America would get a change, WOW! we did get a major change, A complete makeover of what America really is and has ever been!
RICHARD WHY DO YOU THINK A RICH MAN LIKE TRUMP NEEDS TO BE PRESIDENT. HE DON’T NEED THIS JOB HE HAS PLENTY OF MONEY AND HE IS USING IT TO HELP AMERICA AND SOME FOLKS ARE TOO STUPID TO SEE IT. WAKE UP BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. JUST SIT AND STUDY ABOUT IT AND REMEMBER HE IS SPENDING HIS MONEY TO HELP FOOLS TO GET OUT OF THE TROUBLE WE ARE IN. THE OTHERS LIKE CRUZ IS SPENDING YOUR MONEY AND HE’S BEEN IN THERE FOR A WHILE AND DONE NOTHING. THEY PROMISED TO STOP OBAMA CARE IF ELECTED BUT HAVE ANY OF THEM EVEN TRIED, NO THEY WILL NOT EVEN BRING IT UP. CRUZ IS IN THERE AND COULD HAVE PUT IT UP TO CONGRESS BUT HE HASN’T. WHY NOT. HE DID NOTHING HE SAID HE WOULD DO JUST LIKE THE REST OF THEM. WAKE UP AMERICA. DONALD TRUMP IS YOUR ONLY HOPE TO HELP US OUT OF THIS MESS THAT OBAMBAM HAS PUT US IN. CHECK OBAVBAM’S POCKETS AND SEE WHO’S THERE. IM SURE YOU WILL FIND CRUZ. HAVE A GOOD DAY.
Why does Trump want to be president? It’s due to his narcissism.
As for Cruz doing nothing to repeal the ACA, please explain the bill, S.336/S.339 – ObamaCare Repeal Act, he introduced to do just that. You can find it at http://www.cruz.senate.gov/files/documents/Bills/20150202_Obamacare_Repeal_Act.pdf, https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/336, and https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/339
You asked, “Cruz is in there and could have put it up to Congress but he hasn’t. Why not?” So please explain your comment in light of the fact Cruz was the one who introduced the aforementioned act.
Also please explain why you don’t believe Cruz filibustered the stop gap funding bill that funded the ACA in the fall of 2013. Also, what about Cruz’s opposition to Obama’s Trade Bill and Clean Power Plan, a radical environmentalist boondoggle?
By the way, why the SCREAMING? Is it to hide the canards, innuendos, and prevarications about Cruz? Do you hate him that much that you believe demagoguery is acceptable? I hope not.
PS; I was a Carson supporter but WILL vote for Trump warts and all if he’s the GOP nominee. We just can’t afford the traitor Clinton or the communist Sanders if the Republic is to survive. I’m sure you believe the same.
“Birds of a feather…. Seems Cruz and his friends are always FORGETTING to DISCLOSE something!! More like, let’s see if I can get away with it, if I get caught I’ll just say I forgot!!!
AMEN. YOU ARE CORRECT.
I agree with you.
What an idiot report. Ted has been busy working on his campaign so how the hell does he have time to investigate Paxton? The liberal media needs to spend more time investigating and reporting “Hellary’s” (yes I spelled it that way on purpose) criminal activities. I can’t believe her followers are so blinded. Because of all the super adoration she has built up a super ego. When you have that super ego and believe your own hype it makes you stupid.
Cruz tells us what is he going to do. That is not typical and has it occurred to you Obama sent the IRS after the Tea Party. How do you know he is not hitting Cruz’s friends with the same method with the Security and Exchange. I do not trust Obama and never trust his words. Cruz you can trust. We know that in Texas!
Humbug!!
kjones-
Just curious about why you trust Cruz:
Is it because of his Canadian citizenship?
Is it because of his lying under his oath of office?
Is it because he’s not qualified to be the president of the United States?
Is it because of his support from Big Oil?
Is it because of the Bush Crime family endorsement(and money)?
Is it because he admitted to stealing Carson’s votes in Iowa(but didn’t give them back)?
Is it because of the multiple women this hypocrite had affairs with?
Is it because of all the DC Madam’s hookers he used?
Is it because he’s fully on-board with his CFR/Goldman-Sachs wife who wants a NAU that erases US borders?
Is it because of his pasty skin? no-neck? Bean teeth?
Is it because he looks like a cross between a sleazy used car salesman and a nerdy Dracula?
Is it because he was a cross-dresser in college who raided women’s dorms so that he could peep on them?
Just curious…
14th amendment says he can’t be president. He is a Canadian and 7 mountain Dominionist. Snake oil salesman. Ted Rafael Cruz.
This case about his American citizenship has already been settled in court. Forget about it.
If you’re referring to the Pennsylvania case, no, it has NOT “been decided.” It’s on appeal. The “judge” in the case ruled that SCOTUS had never addressed the issue of natural born status, which is either a lie on his part or simple ignorance; i was able to find FOUR such cases simply by googling, ergo a reversible error.
Look, there’s only 4 types of citizenship in America i’m aware of:
14th Amendment – requires only that the child be born on US soil, parentage irrelevant. Ineligible for the presidency.
Naturalized – requires legal immigration, passing the test, taking the Loyalty oath. Ineligible for the presidency.
Native-born – requires ONE parent to be a citizen. Ineligible for the presidency.
Natural born – requires BOTH parents to be citizens, doesn’t even matter what country they’re born in. Eligible for the presidency.
Cruz was born IN Canada, so not a 14th Amendment citizen.
His mother VOTED in Canadian elections, which ONLY Canadian citizens can do; she had to have relinquished her US citizenship to do that, because Canadian Law PROHIBITED dual citizenship at the time of Cruz’ birth.
His father was NEVER a US citizen, and afaik, is still a Canadian citizen to this day – ergo, Cruz is INELIGIBLE.
Cruz himself agrees that he was a Canadian citizen until May of 2014. How did he become a US citizen? Some say “through his mother’s citizenship.” Even IF the US accepted dual citizenship at the time, Canada did NOT…AND, since his dad was NOT a US Citizen, he’s NOT “natural born.” It’s doubtful that he’s even a citizen AT ALL, but even if you grant that he could have US citizenship through his mother, he’s NOT a ‘Natural Born” citizen by any stretch of the imagination(or the Law).
Why has Cruz “sealed” his birth and citizenship records? Because he knows damn-well he’s NOT natural-born, ergo NOT qualified for the Presidency, and therefore is COMMITTING FRAUD by even running! He should be ARRESTED(and convicted) for violating his oath of office, not be allowed to continue to steal delegates and continue to defraud all those contributing to a campaign that is illegitimate and he KNOWS is illegitimate from jump. He should also be required to refund EVERY PENNY donated to his campaign, too.
So does this mean if proven Cruz isn’t eligible his votes & the electoral that they are currently working toward would go to Trump? Also when this all started with so many running on the Republican ticket it doesn’t in my mind seem legal that those who dropped out that their supporters choices should be wasted but shared among the remaining. I think the numbers they are currently trying to accumulate are for naught. I believe that each & every citizen’s vote should be counted & applied to whom the USA citizens want to vote for in November should be the ones that are used to elect/vote in the new president & stop the part that they are currently in & all the money that they use for this part could certainly be used to help the USA get out of debt. It appears all these years that I have voted my votes never counted anyway. They said that the reason Obama was re-elected was due to many people voting more than their allotted “one vote” per person & that many made up voter from dead people & large Hispanic families not citizens is how Obama won his second time which is “voter” fraud. Nixon & Clinton were pretty questionable individual characters in their illegal activities but Obama is like a “Real Crime War Lord Thug” with all the illegal things he’s gotten away with & killing a 16 year old US citizen in another country using a DRONE I was watching the report on that issue as Obama bragged what a good shooter he was during this murder & how he was trying to rid the father not the son. Then the deal “FAST N FURIOUS” gun running w/Mexico. Obama has an extremely long list of unconstitutional illegal issues he has gotten away with. Also the massive amounts of executive orders because Congress wasn’t acting fast enough for his ego should all be recalled & repealed along with the useless health program that was “FRAUD” & “LIES” & no one read it & there were many hidden agenda’s in between the lines re: health care like the BLM & government/public/private property & domain issues being pushed through when the ACA was created but since like Nancy Pelosi said “WE HAVE TO PASS THE ACA SO WE CAN READ IT & FIND OUT WHAT WAS IN IT”‘ Now that comment certainly wasn’t in the best interest of “We the People” but Birds of a feather flock together sure comes to mind when a politician is threatened that their illegal activities could be leaked to the public with proof. Greed & lots of $$$ Lost will cause ignorant & weak people to do almost anything to keep their LOSS of LOVE of MONEY !!! We should have kept more Men of God in Our Governmental Positions than Lawyers & maybe We the People would have had a better chance of having servant minded people serving in our governmental positions than Money-Hungry & Greedy. The Founding Fathers didn’t get hardly any compensation & it was that way for a long time nor did they get life long positions like SCOTUS. The USA needs to Repent to God & ask for forgiveness & have God Almighty RULE & REIGN OVER THE USA & WE the PEOPLE wouldn’t have all of this “EVIL ACTIVITY” going on in Our Nation. Just like a PYRAMID whoever is at the TOP & this all rolls down setting the MORALITY of the People down under the leader of a NATION !!!
Get real, get a new argument. You people really need to find something credible to talk about
This is a major news story, because it is linked to Senator Cruz. If this story was reported about 90% of all Representatives/Senators we wouldn’t even pay attention, because it has become so commonplace. Throughout the campaign, Cruz has been let down by several close associates. First by whomever sent the Carson Email, and later by more campaign snafus. Most of Cruz’ supporters believe he is honest. But he is being ‘schooled’ in this campaign. Too bad for Cruz and for America!! And all Trump supporters had better realize that the slime trying to bring down Cruz will try hard to do the same to Trump. They don’t want an outsider to win–at all costs!!
Snakes run with snakes.
I find it hard to believe that he the most unliked person in the senate. Will bring unity to the congress and senate to get things done. If elected it will be another 4 more years of nothing of importance getting done in Washington!! Except for special interest and sponsor groups that supported his campaign . Mr. Cruz is a wolf in sheeps clothing. If he gets the nod to run for president. It will be another loss for republican party.
Trump won’t be a loss, he will be a disaster with worldwide circumstances
The word is cronys. It is obvious that Cruz is part of the establishment. The “through the bums out” group.
I thought we wanted someone who was not. I would vote for anyone of these posters on this board before electing and established candidate. I have no faith in D.C. NONE!
rockinr-
i do my best to refrain from correcting another’s spelling errors – but i make an exception when i see someone ELSE doing it, and their correction is not only WRONG, but they make an error THEMSELVES in their own reply!
My Webster’s Collegiate dictionary says that the plural of “crony” is “cronies.” and you THROW someone out, not “through”(pronounced “thruuu”)
I am praying we will get our Hevenly Fathers Will for this election, I believe we are entering the time that all things are being revealed to us and our need for each person to get their sins covered by the shed blood of Jesus spilled out for each person.. Repent and get your spiritual house in order. only Christ can fix the worlds many problems when he sets his feet on the MOUNT OF OLIVES in the CITY OF GOD. Bless each person as you find your way back to him he loves each person and wants each person to know he is very near you in SPIRIT.
Shirley get your face out of the Bible. God doesn’t give a damn who leads this country and Jesus has better things to do. How egocentric and stupid of you to think that God favors the U.S. over any other country. Your holy head is in your butt.
Sounds like another Bill and HilLARRY Clinton, hobnobbing with all those upright Maddoff people, like the World Bank, CFR Members, Bilderbergers, TriLaterials and his motto is : TRUSTTed? Really? NAH
Attack Cruz ONLY after Bill and Hillary are in jail.
LMAO!!!!!!!! YOU REEP WHAT YOU SOW!!!!! TED…..YOU ARE NEXT….TRUMP 2016!!!!
As a culture/society that is composed of super wealth/corruption/lying people what can we expect from our future government leaders? You should read about what wealth/power does to a nation (Amos 4:1-3)
I’m sure we’ll hear more about this in the coming months, especially if Ted gets the Republican nomination.
HarleyVet
has you all forgot the Constitution? Ted can not run in America his father is not a natural citizen of the USA. yes his mom is that makes him a citizen but not natural and you have to be natural to run. it is in the laws. and ted the scholar should know this. Rubio is in the same mix too.
Oh sure! Throw everyone in jail except Hillary!
The video is from an event honoring Senator Ted Cruz on January 11, 2014. Ken Paxton was charged on August 3, 2015, over a year later.
CRUSE IS SO PHONY HE DOES NOT USE HIS REAL NAME!!! (RAFAEL NOT TED). HIS REAL NAME SOUNDS LIKE
THE CUBAN HE IS. THAT DRAWS TO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE TRUE FACTS OF WHO AND WHAT HE REALLY IS.
ALSO HOW HE THINKS. CUBANS HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT OUT LOOK ABOUT LIFE. NOT LIKE AMERICANS WAY
OF THINKING. NOW TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOURSELF AND ASK HOW CAN I VOTE FOR SOME ONE THAT PHONY.
That’s right Richard Cruz lied saying his father ran to this country for freedom he was kick out by Babtista when Rafael Cruz fought for Castro and was captured by Batista he came to this country 1957 and did not get his citizenship till the year of 2005 that because Rafael EDWARD (Ted) Cruz was running for the Texas state senate with eyes set for the USA senate were he cheated to be nominated with three week till election he had a add showing David Dewherst wife picture when she was arrested for a DUI that said is this what we want Dewherst stopped campaigning and lost. The same trick he pulled on DR Carson in Iowa and the picture of Mr Trump to win Utah how I know this is because I lived in Tyler Texas when he ran for state senate and the USA senate. Cruz mother first named Rafael Edward Wilson when born he first husband name then two weeks later she changed it to Cruz. Cruzes father had two girls from a privious marriage Ted half sister Marrian born nov 11 1961 Roxanna born nov 18 1962 Marrian had spent years in a Pennsylvania pen for armed robbery and later died from over douse when she was freed. Roxanna now lives in Greenville Tex. his fathers fist wife was Maria Garza Teds mother Is 85 And father 79. They ran of to Canada to avoid the Vietnam draft that’s were Rafael Edward (Ted) Wilson Crruz was born Dec22 1979. Both Eleanor and Rafael were both on drugs and alcohol when Ted was born . Rafael Cruz senior left Ted and his mother and after the Vietnam war was over he came back and sai he found God but Eleanor got a divorce you can find all this by pulling there names .com
Richard correction Ted birthday in Dec 22 1970 not 1979
I hope our country gets the president we need, rather than what we
deserve. We aren’t the nation we once were, unfortunately.
“Putin 2016”
If we were ALL, judged by our friends and associates, I dare say, we would ALL be judged as thieves, liars, drug addicts, or any number of things! Because I would love to meet the person that has not EVER associated with, (or had a family member) that is guilty of one or more of these things!!!
The only way we could avoid associating with people that have ISSUES, is to become hermits, or live in a perfect world. Niether of which is possible!!!
Although….the way our world has become, the hermit thing is looking better and better!!!
Cruz is a GLOBALIST as are most of his supporters on Wall Street. He is also supported by The New World Order Proponents G. Bush Sr., G. Bush Jr., and Jeb Bush. I wonder why that is?
Cruz is a snake in the grass he lies like hell and I don’t think we need another Texan for president …..
Ted Cruz is not the non establishment candidate that he makes himself out to be and most people believe him to be. His wife is a Wall Streeter and his biggest political donor is a hedge fund manager who gave him about 31 million which is more than he has raised in his entire political career. He also is one of those politicians who uses the ” I didn’t know excuse” just like our Muslim President. Remember the Carson Campaign Suspension fiasco and a couple of other I don’t knows during his campaign. Do we really want another President who runs a Country like ours and uses the I don’t know excuse every time he does something wrong. Give me a break folks. Cruz is not the savior people make him out to be and if you look at his record in Congress his biggest achievement (if you can call it that) was shutting down the Government for a couple of weeks. Not sure he is Presidential material and I am not sure the Country is read for a far right President.
I want to state at the outset that this comment has nothing to do with this article in particular. I am interested in sharing some bipartisan thoughts about the topic, We Are The Party, and address it to both Democrats and Republicans alike.
This election cycle has focused my thinking about the process we go through in both parties to select a candidate to represent us in the November elections. During the Democratic primaries Democrats vote for their choice but the “Party” has super delegates who are not beholding to the rank and file Democratic voter. On the Republican side it is apparent that when they don’t like who the rank and file Republicans are voting for “they” the “Party” try to decide who is going to be the nominee over the choice of the majority of their members. In both cases the Democratic and Republican parties forget that in reality you and I “Are the Party” and we should be the ones that ultimately decide who represents us.
To this end I am suggesting a voter “Revolution” where people push back hard on their respective parties and remind those in charge that you and I are the party and we really don’t care for these rules that take the ultimate say away from those of us who are also registered Democrats and Republicans. I would urge those of you who agree to write and call your respective Congressional, State and Local representatives to complain about the “process” in addition to the DNC and RNC depending on your party affiliation.
I think its time that the people involved in the political process understand that they only derive their authority from the People when we give it to them and WE need to recognize that when we acquiesce and let them do as they wish we are abrogating our individual prerogatives to have them represent us as we would like to be represented.
Those of you who feel you agree with my sentiments are free to use this statement in any comments or letters or conversations you have. It is my intention to insert this statement in the comments of every article I read online and to hopefully start a movement that will hold both political parties accountable to their members.
Thanks for reading this whether you agree or not.
I suggest we check the Political affiliation of the DOJ filing the lawsuit. This has happened before in TX. If you think politics is a rough game look what happens when the Vultures (aka Lawyers) get involved.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER!
They moved on this dam quick .Why don’t they get to Hillary Clinton that fast there the biggest lier I have ever heard of and the state dept tell the FBI to back off. our government really need for the public to get off there ass and fire them all. not one is worth a dam Obama is not good enough to shine shoes must less be President. And Hillary tax return is the same as his what going on with that.
In the interest of being fair to Cruz, he can’t be held responsible for the acts of anyone who donates to him or his campaign.
This would be like critics of Ron Paul complaining about his receiving donations from the KKK. Maybe Ted will step up and return the donation this guy gave him as a way of publicly repudiating the guy’s behavior.
LOL! i crack myself up! Betcha a nickel that Cruz ain’t about to return a dime.
