Ted Cruz pulls ad featuring soft-core porn star

[jakeXT]

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz's campaign  pulled an ad after it was revealed one of the actresses in it has been in adult movies.

Buzzfeed was the first to report the campaign had pulled the ad,  titled "Conservatives Anonymous," from its website after it learned actress Amy Lindsay has been in films with names such as "Confessions of a Lap Dancer," "Kinky Sex Club," and "The Sex Spa II: Body Work."

In the Cruz video, Lindsay plays a member of a self-help type group made up of Republican voters who said they are disappointed by Marco Rubio, a Florida Senator who is also seeking the GOP nomination.

"Maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time," she tells the group.

2. Cruz going all out for Evangelicals

But isn't the south like the biggest consumers of porn?

12. Good call! The ad and the removal of the ad was a win-win strategy for him.

A very calculated move.

15. Utah is the leader of porn consumption

20. Conservatives use way more porn

there's been studies on this. They're repressed. Liberals tend to have more satisfying sexual relationships.

3. Ironically Trump could have run with the same actress,

bragged about it, and got more votes from his "base".

4. Thinks Ted: "I KNEW she looked familiar!" nt

Neurologist explains why it’s hard to look at Ted Cruz’s creepy ‘unsettling’ face

Tom Boggioni | 06 Feb 2016 @ 10:56 ET

As he has risen in the polls, more attention is being paid to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s overall electability as a man who looks, as one fellow Princeton classmate described him: “about as telegenic as an undertaker.”

~ snip ~

Writing in Psychology Today, Cytowic noted that Cruz’s “atypical expressions” left him “uneasy,” and that he was not alone among people who have watched Cruz up-close and from afar.

“Note how many colleagues and former associates ‘loathe’ him. A Bush alumnus told the New York Times’ Frank Bruni, ‘Why do people take such an instant dislike to Ted Cruz? It just saves time.’ Former Senate Majority leader Bob Dole says, ‘Nobody likes him,’ while Rep. Peter King sees ‘malice.'” Cytowic wrote. “According to The Washington Post, screenwriter Craig Mazin, Cruz’s former Princeton roommate, has called him a ‘huge asshole,’ and ‘creepy.’ He’s Tweeted, ‘Getting emails blaming me for not smothering Ted Cruz in his sleep in 1988.’ The distaste for Cruz even extends beyond the US: Germans say Backpfeifengesicht, meaning a face in need of a good punch.”

“Downturned expressions usually signal disagreeableness or disgust. But I honestly don’t know because such an expression is rare in the context of public presentations that are meant to win people over. He may well be unaware that the message of his body language is incongruent with his words,” he said before concluding, “Google ‘Ted Cruz smiling,’ and judge for yourself. For the record I am not a Democrat. I’m at a loss to verbalize what unsettles me so when I watch the freshman senator. But it leaves me cold.”

18. He hails from Uncanny Valley, Calgary, Canada

Actually, when I Googled "Ted Cruz uncanny valley" I saw I was t the first person to put those two ideas together.

6. Oh yea, he's playing the part of Born Again Christian on this campaign. Don't want to

give the religiously insane any wrong ideas about his moral superiorities over the far left.

14. A conservative who likes Cruz and Trump!

[Xyzse]

8. ROFLMAO...

So...
My question is, how did they find out?

I mean seriously... Who blew the whistle on this one? Quite curious, and corollary question is, how did they know?

[joeybee12]

9. What gets me is she says she agrees with Cruz' conservative Christian values...

Amazing

[Kingofalldems]

10. Was it a teen tit movie?

He wants to be in one.

[petronius]

11. "MILF", "Radio Erotica", "Animal Lust", "Star Trek: Voyager" -- she does have a shameful

record!


(But seriously, what a lame reason to pull an ad, or to shame a professional actress...)

[eissa]

13. What is it with porn actresses and the GOP?

First Jenna Jameson endorsed Romney, now this. I mean, I get they like being fucked, but that can't be the only reason.

[spanone]

16. that ad is comedy gold

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

17. "Sex Spa II" really failed to capitalize on the high bar the original set. n/m
