Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is just appalled at the tone of the GOP presidential race. Shame on his opponents.

"Oh, listen, there's no doubt that both Donald [Trump] and Marco [Rubio] got very personal, got very nasty. And both of them, when you point to their records, they follow the same pattern," Cruz lamented in an interview with CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday. "They scream, 'Liar, liar, liar,' they impugn your integrity, they attack your character."

"And as you know, from the very beginning of this campaign, nearly a year now, I have consistently refused to respond in kind," he continued. "I am not going to impugn anyone's integrity, I am not going to attack their character. And in fact, I will happily praise both Donald Trump and Marco Rubio as men whom I admire, as people who -- I'm not going to go personal with them."

While there has been plenty of nastiness to go around, Cruz and his campaign certainly haven't been above the fray. In fact, many of the dirtiest attacks during the primary in South Carolina -- a state known for dirty politics -- seemed to come from Cruz and his allies.
