Ted Cruz's Latest Mailer Is Almost Too Much To Be Believed

[meow2u3]

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is out with a deceptive new mailer that masquerades as official government business and promises people there's a "check enclosed" when it's actually asking for money instead.

A New Jersey resident sent The Huffington Post the latest piece of mail he received from Cruz's campaign. The envelope appears to have come from Cruz's Senate office and has his name printed the same way it often is for Senate business. In small type the mailer clarifies that it is for "personal" matters and was not sent at taxpayers' expense. It also promises a check.

But the check inside -- which is made out to the Cruz campaign, not to the voter -- is fake. The accompanying letter promises that a "group of generous supporters" have promised to match donations received in response to the mailer.

1. Fake mailers, using photos of people (American Legion) without asking. What's next?

3. Cruz is a deceitful fuckwad. Of course ...

that's considered padding one's CV in the Republican party.

2. this is a pretty common direct mail tactic, isn't it?

official looking envelopes, vague promises of money on the outside, or penalties for not acting. he's using one the finest tools America's invented to gull the gullable: the Christo-Bircherian Grifting Industry.

he may not get the nomination this year, but Rafael's not going anywhere; he's going to be running for a looooooooooooong time.

4. Ha, I've gotten 2 good sized mailings from Ben Carson thanking me for my continued support.

Thank God I'm not a confused person. Both of them had a beautiful 8x10 portrait of him.
