Sunday Reflection - Tolerance And Hypocrisy

Weasel/ human hybrid Sen. Tailgunner Ted" Cruz, yesterday:

"It was sad yesterday to see Donald Trump stand up in Utah and call into question Mitt Romney's faith," the Texas senator told reporters on Saturday after a rally in Draper ahead of the state's Republican nominating contest on March 22.

"That has no place in politics; that is wrong. It's disgraceful to call into question the faith of another, and that is an attack that I think doesn't belong in Utah and it doesn't belong in politics."  (our emphasis)

Sad and disgraceful, yes.

Now, let's go to September 2015 when "Tailgunner Ted" was asked to respond directly if he thought President Obama was a Christian::

“The president’s faith is between him and God. I’m not going to speculate on the president’s faith."   (our emphasis)

Finally, let us quote from holy roller "Tailgunner Ted's" favorite book, specifically Matthew 7:5:

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. 

Situational tolerance is not tolerance at all;  it's hypocrisy. And it's sad and disgraceful.

Ted Cruz, Hypocrisy-Eligible

On top of questions surrounding his "natural born" eligibility to be President (a case of the chickens coming home to roost), it seems Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz (R-Calgary), Man of the People and scourge of Wall Street, has a bit of an authenticity problem:

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz failed to disclose to the Federal Election Commission a loan from Goldman Sachs for as much as $500,000 that was used to help finance his successful 2012 U.S. Senate campaign, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.

The loan does not appear in reports the Ted Cruz for Senate Committee filed with the FEC, in which candidates are required to disclose the source of money they borrow to finance their campaigns, the newspaper reported.  [snip]

In 2012, Cruz was campaigning for the Texas Senate seat as a populist firebrand who criticized Wall Street bailouts and the influence of big banks in Washington, and the loans could have conveyed the wrong impression about his candidacy, the Times said.  [snip]

Cruz and his wife, Heidi, who is on leave as a managing director at Goldman Sachs, also received a loan from Citibank for up to $500,000, but it was not clear whether that money was used in the campaign, the newspaper said.  (our emphasis)

Of course, it should be no surprise to anyone that "Tailgunner Ted" is a dishonest, flaming hypocrite.  That he would use a loan ("bailout"?) from a Wall Street villain like Goldman Sachs to help finance his "populist," anti- Wall Street campaign in 2012 is just another instance of this dangerous demagogue saying and doing whatever it takes to advance his despicable career.
