Poor poor pitiful Ted Cruz

[planosteve]

From Ted Cruz's latest fund raising letter:

Finances: “The cost of campaigning back and forth across the country for president is increasingly expensive, but Heidi and I are willing to invest our livelihoods into this sacrifice.

Personal time: “You think of this the least, but as a candidate, my days are no longer my own. Days start before dawn and many times don't end until early the next morning. There is almost no personal time when you run for president.”

“I've chosen to sacrifice part of mine and my families (sic) lives to run for President -- but I think you will agree with me that the sacrifice is well worth it.”

Cruz, currently scuffling along in the second tier of Republican candidates, added a note of urgency to the appeal, because candidates are reaching the end of the second quarter reporting period and want to show the best fundraising numbers they can to create a sense of momentum. “Time is critical,” he writes.

The message id signed “For liberty, Ted Cruz” but it doesn’t end there.

Apparently concerned that he hadn’t stressed just how much he is giving up to run for president, Cruz throws in a post-script: “I’ve chosen to make some steep, necessary sacrifices in our fight to restore America. Will you join me with your gift of $250 or $100? OR if $35 or $10 is a stretch gift for you, I will be grateful for every dollar you can sacrifice and will ensure it is faithfully used.”

So Cruz is a RINO?

[ralph]

[Sangersteve]

I searched to find even one candidate NOT looking for donations.

Even Rand is begging, Hillary and Bernie are begging.

What make's Ted's request different?

I fired off an e-mail to him letting him know to address you as.."Dear Kookburger."

Glad to help.

think that many of these candidates both rino and dem have cash pipelines to foreign governments , individuals and domestic enemies of the US that donate cash to them . Some probably get cash donations from mexico , 'la raza' and 'mecha' .

I tried not to laugh. Not laughing at you, Steve. Laughing with you.

That was the 2nd letter I got from Cruz. The first pretended to be a survey asking what I thought on various issues. Does anyone really think Cruz gives a rat's ass about my opinion? It was just an excuse to ask for money.

Steve, whoever it was that said here is that this is the way they all do it..was correct.

Not defending them..I got letters like that for years..Federal and State.

They finally stopped when they realized I have never given a cent to a politician..and never would..even those I like..like Ted Cruz.

Perhaps for entertainment value ?

I agree.

Clearly none of them give a rat's ass about our opinions. Those stupid "surveys" have been used forever to raise funds. I never fill them out because it's a waste of my time. The few times I did fill them out, years ago, the result was phone calls pimping for money. I told them if I was going to donate I'd donate to an individual candidate and not a political machine. Again, years ago, I made the mistake of sending a contribution to the RNC. Thought I'd never get rid of them. I've never made another contribution except to some local candidates. Bug the hell out of me and I won't send you a single penny - idiots.

[Red Oak]

Cruz has done much better representing my opinion than Kay barely Republican or that wishy-washy embarrassment Coryn.

Channel your Cruz derangement, go find some one to run against him.

Wendy and Dewhurst are well rested, and Perry will need something to fall back on. .

[BigTex]

Wendy who?
