Cleveland Tea Party Patriots does not endorse Ted Cruz
Jenny-Beth Martin
sent out a message from Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund with the following:
After four rounds
of national voting, the supporters and activists of Tea Party Patriots Citizens
Fund have spoken. And they have
decided to endorse Ted Cruz for President.
. . . [fund-raising
pitch] . . .
Our mission now is
to harness all the might and fury of the Tea Party movement to build a massive
grassroots operation for Senator Cruz.
Unlike the TPP
Citizens Fund, Cleveland Tea Party Patriots does not endorse candidates. When we tabulate
report cards on candidates based on positions related to the three core values
of Tea Party Patriots, we leave it to the voter to decide for him/herself who
to support.
In this case,
Cleveland Tea Party Patriots emphatically rejects the above mandate that
dictates that all Tea Party Patriots support Ted Cruz. What about patriots who
support other candidates, whether, e.g., Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, or Donald
Trump?
In particular, Cleveland
Tea Party Patriots is dismayed with the endorsement of Ted Cruz for several
reasons, including Cruz’s decisions and actions within the Republican
Establishment (GOPe). Not too long ago, when Glenn Beck withdrew his support from Sen.
Rand Paul and transferred that support to Sen. Ted Cruz [via Conservative Treehouse]:
Beck
claims he became disgusted with the Senator [Paul] when he made a deal with
Mitch McConnell.
. . .
The
deal was to go along with Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell’s overall
objectives, electoral objectives AND legislative objectives, as the GOP entered
into the 2014 mid-term election cycle.
. . . [BUT]
Both
Rand Paul and Ted Cruz agreed to stay out of the mid-term elections for
incumbents at the request of Mitch McConnell.
Remember,
this agreement is the set up to the Mississippi fiasco of 2014 with Thad
Cochran and Chris McDaniel. The agreement gave both Rand Paul and Ted
Cruz leadership approvals for their 2016 presidential race.
. . .
Remember the 2014 Mississippi Primary
Fraud?
Here’s is a video/audio [Mark
Levin on the radio] you must ABSOLUTELY listen to, in order to understand
what’s going on today – AND – how radio host Mark Levin has been covering for
Senator Ted Cruz for more than just a couple of months.
. . .
Senator Cruz
states the campaign conduct in the Mississippi runoff was “incredibly
disappointing” etc. and even goes on to say an investigation is warranted.
Eventually,
[Sundance at Conservative Treehouse] found out who paid for those racist attack
ads [against McDaniel], and who paid for the phone calls, and who paid for the
Democrats to come out and support Thad Cochran in the Mississippi primary
runoff.
. . .
It was the National
Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC).
. . .
The NRSC, the
actual Republican Party itself, was funding racist attack ads against its own
party candidate, Chris McDaniel, in the runoff primary race.
Who was the Vice
Chairman of the NRSC for Grassroots Outreach? TED CRUZ. Links galore to the
videos of TV interviews, the FEC filing documents, and so on are here.
Treehouse predicted
that Cruz would lose the Iowa caucus. As we all know, Cruz won. Treehouse’s
prediction notwithstanding, the information on the blogsite is documented and
linked. Check out the video and audio clips in particular.
