His parents were sent to Canada to groom Ted for his ultimate mission of destroying the Republican Party.

The Batista Gang wants Cuba back.

Or is it just an act?

with a very active Messiah complex.

Say it isn't so.. or Not!

Cruz scRews.

It's written in his own name!

100% of the time.

If his lips are moving he is lying.

Not 3/4's of the time 100% of the time. cruz wouldn't know the truth if it whacked him in the ass and made him breakfast with bacon even afterwards.

It's a fixture of their Philosophy.

His party is furious with him and the money people want to make sure he's nowhere near the primaries in 2016 - they're going to do everything they can to bury him so I expect these kinds of stories are going to be dripping out over the next year to cripple him and make it so he wont be able to even campaign for others. Should be fun to watch.

The Crowd can go from following you to chasing after you at the drop of a hat. Oh and BTW Hey Edwardo, why are you running so fast and, Isn't that you hat on the ground behind you?

They are reminding him of who's the boss.

Al Capone on tax evasion. Whatever works.

Besides, people in congress don't go to jail for tax issues, just ask Charlie Rangel.

the wrong spoon.

Fictions at 11

Right out of the cesspool (R).

A Caribbean Cruz line!

Chilling article.

Welcome to DU, saluda!

Legionaires Cruz,

The Salmonella Cruz,

or the poop in a bag Cruz

since he is out to disable the CDC, we may get all three!

IRS should audit him since that investment. He is a tax cheat.

cheating scumbag, I don't believe this was a bad as it seems. I hate to say this, but I wonder if there isn't a race element as well. It started with a 6k donation to a friend from school. (I believe it was Harvard, and the guy was a Rhodes scholar). This guy is from Jamaica. I assume he's black. He began an investment firm and Cruz signed on as one of the original advisors/officers and put in a small amount. He consulted periodically until his wife began working for GWB. At that time he sold his interest, was given 25k cash and a promissory note basically (I think it was shares in a company) for his interest. Cruz reported it, received a letter from the election commission that he was divested, and went on about his business. The company is now inactive, the guy moved to Atlanta, and I guess the promissory note was left out there accruing interest.
I have to say, it doesn't seem very suspicious (I'm sure he's done much, much worse) and I'm sure the rank and file Republicans are trying to discredit him, but I have to wonder why with this story. Maybe because it's so complicated they figure Repubs will just turn on him without asking questions, or is it something more nefarious? Do they figure that the racist tea baggers will find out about Cruz' black friend and then let their bigotry do the rest? Marsha Blackburn had much worse involving her campaign and the Repubs covered it up. Ditto Bachman with the Iowa thing. I have to wonder if their angle isn't something else.

that he's black just because he's from Jamaica. The right wing types from Jamaica, the sort that would be likely to work for GWB, are almost all white. Yes, there are white folks still in Jamaica. They have walled themselves off from the rank and file Jamaicans.

and found this in an article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution,

"David Panton is no stranger to trailblazing. He was the youngest member of his undergraduate class at Princeton University at the age of 20. Then, at Harvard Law School, he was one of two black presidents in the history of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. The other was President Barack Obama"

listing a company that no longer exists, etc. says to me he's laundered the money.

should expel Rafael.

is a Regional manager at Goldman Sachs. I wonder how much money they made hedging bets that the US would default. Why isn't more made of this, esp with this pious sanctimonious ass hat. He doesn't take the insurance that the Senate gets because his wife's is better. And this from the guy that wants to get rid of Obamacare.

call for a massive hatchet job on Cruz in writing. Calling Greg Palast or Matt Taibbi.

Please, sign Move On's petition to try GOP Leadership for Sedition. Hopefully D.U. will do a thread on this.

I'd say it's more the widespread lack of backbone and intelligence that lets their mindset get driven over the cliff that should be their concern. Emotional thinkers. They'll spawn another Cruz if they ditch this one. Ryan will probably reprise his role with just a little less toxicity.

Still don't have their finger on the switch - hope they don't find it before 2014.

Cross your fingers everyone at DU, because I smell a scandal with the possibility of resignation, termination and hopefully a felony conviction.

My future pity-party ensemble is rehearsing as we speak.

I have a feeling the GOP is turning over every stone imaginable to bury this dude.

Rafael Theodor doesn't qualify.
