Cruz's 2012 Senate bid bolstered by undisclosed loan from Goldman Sachs

Cruz's 2012 Senate bid bolstered by undisclosed loan from Goldman Sachs
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

DALLAS: -- As Ted Cruz tells it, the story of how he financed his upstart campaign for the U.S. Senate four years ago is an endearing example of loyalty and shared sacrifice between a married couple.

“Sweetheart, I’d like us to liquidate our entire net worth, liquid net worth, and put it into the campaign,” he says he told his wife, Heidi, who readily agreed.

But the couple’s decision to pump more than $1 million into Ted Cruz’s successful Tea Party-darling Senate bid in Texas was made easier by a large loan from Goldman Sachs, where Heidi Cruz works. That loan was not disclosed in campaign finance reports.

Those reports show that in the critical weeks before the May 2012 Republican primary, Ted Cruz — currently a leading contender for his party’s presidential nomination — put “personal funds” totaling $960,000 into his Senate campaign.

Good to see this up. Everyone should realize what an untrustworthy, devious man is Cruz. You cannot believe him or his campaign promises, which are adjusted to fit the circumstances of the day. Nowhere is it more true on immigration, for example. But this topic proves that in Cruz you are dealing with a man who is as slippery as they come. In tonight's debate, for example, he criticized Trump's "New York values," while all the time being in hock to two big New York City financial houses, Goldman Sachs and Citibank. Weasel.

He reminds me of the snake oil salesman of old. Anyone that is bankrolled by Goldman Sachs one of the biggest winners by betting against their own investors and Citibank should never be trusted. He has been bought and paid for by these snakes and has "sold out" written all over him. Any doubters should enter Anonymous on Google and read some of their statements the best one being about 30 minutes long it has been posted on here previously. Also another good read is Jekyll Island done by Glenn Beck and another shown on here the name escapes me. The internet with Google will make the dumbest person smart. It then depends do you want to live in the real world? or some government alternate one. The internet opens a lot of doors walk through.

I am unsure I see the issue in all of this. I like Cruz... on some things. However, he seems too polished, or rehearsed; like he spent years watching Ronald Reagan clips in an effort to evoke that association unconsciously in others. I just do not see the problem in this OP, but agree it could smell fishy if one thing here or there were different.

Someone has $10 in a combination of investments, savings, and a fund where they can leverage margin, clearly they lien their other assets if not paid. They paid. Where is the foul play?

The question is, what US legislator in DC isn't in the pocket of Goldman-Sachs (JP Morgan, et.al.)?

Democracy at it's best...

And the Foreign Office is promoting this so damn hard around the world...

Everyone in the Inner Beltway falls into the category of 'Weasels', 'Boneless Chickens', and 'Bottom Feeders'. What a pathetic bunch of losers. And worse still, are the clueless masses that fall for the Campaign Propaganda and vote these leaches into office in the first place. He who has the most money and the spiffiest ads wins. That fact that they are all devoid of a moral compass and will say anything to get elected seems to go right over the heads of the clueless masses. Nothing's going to change: money talks, BS walks.

Most of the these "loans" are never repaid. Trump the only possible guy who is not bought off.

According to Cruz...questioned during the debate...there were two forms requesting financial information...he supposedly fill one out completely and not the other...no excuse was given...
