I do sincerely praise Jesus for what He gave you, but sadly Ted and his dad aren't like you.

I like Cruz's father as well.

Re: Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official
When Cruz was campaigning against Dewhurst, he was skewered for being anti-sanctuary cities.
Always doing the right thing.

Senate Republicans Lash Out at Ted Cruz
In his campaign for the United States Senate, Ted Cruz has continuously attacked David Dewhurst for not leading Texas, particularly through the state senate, to an even more crazy conservative status.
Cruz insists that we don't do enough to attack immigrants enough through an “Anti-Sanctuary Cities” bill, even though statewide policy in regards to immigrants are the same as “sanctuary city” municipal policies

Ted Cruz Makes Waves: Raises $51 Million in Second Quarter
Senator Ted Cruz isn’t only the most talked about Republican presidential candidate of the entire field on social media, he’s also doing well fundraising-wise. The senator from Texas announced yesterday that his campaign and allied PACs raised more than $51 million in the second quarter. This means that he’s one of the few candidates who’s actually able to build a war chest necessary to beat a) progressive Republican Jeb Bush and, after that, b) progressive Democrat Hillary Clinton.

N.Y. Times keeps Cruz off bestseller list
The New York Times informed HarperCollins this week that it will not include Ted Cruz's new biography on its forthcoming bestsellers list, despite the fact that the book has sold more copies in its first week than all but two of the Times' bestselling titles, the On Media blog has learned.

HarperCollins Refutes New York Times Claim That Ted Cruz Tried To Game Bestseller List
By publicly refuting the Times’ claim , HarperCollins is taking on one of the most influential forces in the publishing industry — an exceedingly rare move for any large publisher.
Here is Andreadis’ complete statement:

Ted Cruz campaign calls out the NYT to produce their lying evidence.
“We call on the Times, release your so-called ‘evidence.’ Demonstrate that your charge isn’t simply a naked fabrication, designed to cover up your own partisan agenda,” Tyler continued. “And, if you cannot do so, then issue a public apology to Senator Cruz and Harper Collins editor Adam Bellow for making false charges against them.”

I don't know why the NYT is so worried about Ted Cruz. It's apparent the the GOP Establishment is going to buy the election for Jeb Bush, having raised $114 M. I'm not voting for Jeb - ever.

New York Times Is Lying: Cruz Campaign Calls on the Times to Release Their Evidence or Issue a Formal Apology
07/10/15
HOUSTON, Texas — Yesterday, news broke that the New York Times had omitted Cruz’s best-selling book A Time for Truth from their best-seller list.
Bookscan, a subscription service that tracks the vast majority of book sales in America, is usually a reliable indicator of the New York Times bestseller list. For example, this week’s #1 and #2 books on Bookscan are also #1 and #2 on the NYT list. But the #3 book, Cruz’s A Time for Truth, has been omitted altogether from the top twenty spots on the New York Times list.
This is despite the fact that Cruz’s book sold more copies last week than 18 of the 20 books on the list.
Their decision to blackball Cruz’s book suggests that the Times very much does not want people to read the book.
The Times’s initial explanation was cryptic: “We have uniform standards that we apply to our best seller list, which includes an analysis of book sales that goes beyond simply the number of books sold.”
When the Times was roundly condemned for its obvious political bias, they issued a revised statement: “In the case of this book, the overwhelming preponderance of evidence was that sales were limited to strategic bulk purchases.”
This statement is false, and the Times knows it.
There were no “strategic bulk purchases.” Cruz spent last week on a nation-wide book tour, signing copies of his book at multiple locations. Booksellers at each event had long lines—sometimes over 400 people per event.
Pictures from some of these signings may be found here: Arlington, TX, Katy, TX, and Sioux City, IA.
Simultaneously, Cruz’s book was ranked the #1 political seller on Amazon, and made it as high as the #9 overall seller (across all categories, including fiction).
“The Times is presumably embarrassed by having their obvious partisan bias called out. But their response—alleging ‘strategic bulk purchases’—is a blatant falsehood,” said Cruz campaign spokesperson Rick Tyler. “The evidence is directly to the contrary. In leveling this false charge, the Times has tried to impugn the integrity of Senator Cruz and of his publisher Harper Collins.”
“We call on the Times, release your so-called ‘evidence.’ Demonstrate that your charge isn’t simply a naked fabrication, designed to cover up your own partisan agenda. And, if you cannot do so, then issue a public apology to Senator Cruz and Harper Collins editor Adam Bellow for making false charges against them.”

Hahahahahahaha! Get out of here!  LOL!
You reminded me that I picked up a $2 book written by Meghan McCain at Barnes and Noble. It was about her time on the road when her father was running for President. Boy, she is a piece of work and the book certainly reflected that. I read it and then walked over to the trash can and threw it away. Hahahahaha!
