Senator Ted Cruz Has Avoided Many Important and Uncomfortable Questions

Last edited Sat Feb 16, 2013, 05:54 PM - Edit history (2)

Senator Ted Cruz has taken a lot of heat for his questioning of Senator Hagel during Hagel’s confirmation hearings. This criticism, for simply be brave enough to do his job correctly, is far, far out of bounds. Not since Joe McCarthy has there been a senator willing to destroy reputations with outrageous and false insinuations to such a degree. And the country has suffered from that dearth of courageous statesmen. Bravo Mr. Cruz, Bravo!

Since I recognize and applaud Ted Cruz in his pursuit of character assassinations for their own sake, I’m sure he will be more than happy to assist me in my own intrepid investigation.

There are many nights during the past two decades where Ted Cruz has not accounted for his whereabouts. It does not necessarily mean he was having sex with prepubescent boys he bought on the black market on the nights in question, but he has refused to answer... which just leads to speculation. I'm not saying these boys were ages 4 to 8 years old, but they could have been. Some of them he could have kidnapped himself and kept in his basement until they were too old for him to lust after, then he may have sold them to others in a group he may belong to that buy and trade young boys regularly on the Internet. If those boys exist, and I'm not saying that they do, they must be terribly traumatized now; some of them may have even committed suicide due to Cruz's inhumane and monstrous treatment.


Senator, the ball is in your court.

No answers either.

Not a single answer.

Is it true that he and Rush spent time together with boys and drugs in the Dominican Republic?

I think it's telling that he has not answered these questions.

Where was he when those things were going on? Can he account for his time?

I think we deserve to know the answers.

questions about attending late-night Satanic cult gatherings in exclusive Dallas highrises and whether he has a personal relationship with the Devil. He's acutely aware that knowledge of this wouldn't sit well with his Christian constituents, but don't they deserve religious transparency from their elected officials?

He's an altogether shady character, in my book.

ed, I have proof that your family was expelled from Canada (the country where you were born) after it was discovered that your father not only fought for Castro, but also worked as a spy for him. I also have proof that you are being paid by the Castro regime to infiltrate the US government and pass state secrets along to your communist masters. It is breaking news all over Canada today. Do you care to comment on your communist connections to Castro and the reason why you were thrown out of Canada? I also have the official post-it notes from CSIS that carefully detail these truths. The only thing that hasn't been verfied is the amount you are being paid by the Castro/Chavez regimes. Estimates are between $50,000 and $1.5 million. Can you prove that my assertions are not correct?

another writer:
We know absolutely nothing about the personal compensation Cruz received in 2008, 2009 or 2010. We do not know, for example, if he received compensation from the Mafia for supplying them with videotapes of his sexual activities with children and animals. It may be that he spoke at the annual NAMBLA convention. We just don't know.

.....seriously, Ted Cruz would NOT debate his Dem. opponent at all in his election; so, really, he has not been questioned about a lot of things that people should know. I think he may have made a joint appearance with his Dem. opponent, but it was not televised that I knew of. He had a primary opponent, but don't know if he had to debate him, either.

Legend has it Johnson told one of his aides -- "Go out there and tell 'em {Texas Governor Coke Stevenson} was caught having sex with a farm animal."

"But, Lyndon," the aide protested, "you know that's not true!"

"Of course it's not true!" Johnson responded impatiently. "That's not the point. Tell it anyway -- and make him deny it..."

43. Is Ted Cruz a real American?
Sun Feb 17, 2013, 11:54 AM
Feb 2013

Check out his campaign's biography:

http://www.tedcruz.org/bio/

First of all, he was born in Canada, during a time when young men fled to Canada to avoid the draft duringthe Vietnam era.

According to his biography, his father "fought in the Cuban revolution", was imprisoned and fled to the US in 1957.

Here's the rub. The revolution did not gain steam until 1958 and Castro came to power in 1959. If Cruz' father was imprisoned, it would have been by the previous (Batista) regime, which was fighting Castro and the Communists. Was Cruz's parents Communists?

Why won't Cruz tell the truth about his involvement with Communists?

He was born in 1970 And he did not serve in the military....Chickenhawk. He could have served in the GUlF war.. He would have been 20 -21.


Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where his parents, Eleanor Darragh and Rafael Cruz, were working in the oil business.[7][8] His father, in 1957 during the Cuban Revolution, was a Cuban immigrant to the United States.[9] His mother, an American, was reared in Delaware, in a family of Irish and Italian descent.[8][10] Cruz's family returned to the U.S. when he was four years old.[9]

Cruz was born and spent the first four years of his life in Calgary before his parents returned to Houston. His father was jailed and tortured by the Fulgencio Batista regime and fought for Fidel Castro in the Cuban Revolution[37] but "didn't know Castro was a Communist" and later became a staunch critic of Castro when "the rebel leader took control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent.

Cruz and his wife, Heidi Nelson Cruz, have two daughters, Caroline Camille and Catherine Christiane. Cruz met his wife while working on the George W. Bush presidential campaign of 2000. Cruz's wife is currently head of the Southwest Region in the Investment Management Division of Goldman, Sachs & Co. and previously worked in the White House for Condoleezza Rice and in New York as an investment banker.[41]
