Ted Cruz Campaign Halts Ad Because of Actress’s Film History

[brooklynite]

Source: New York Times

The campaign of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas released a biting negative ad against Senator Marco Rubio of Florida on Thursday, featuring a mock focus group and a woman decrying Mr. Rubio as nothing more than a “pretty face.”

Few will see that ad, however. The woman who made the comment in the ad is a soft-core pornography actress.

The woman, Amy Lindsay, as first reported by BuzzFeed, has appeared in multiple movies with titles like “Carnal Wishes,” “Insatiable Desires” and “Private Sex Club.” Ms. Lindsay told BuzzFeed that she was a Christian conservative and a Republican, deciding between supporting Mr. Cruz or Donald J. Trump.

The Cruz campaign pulled the ad soon after the report on Thursday.

3. After a little googling I'm not sure you can even call it "soft" core. At least it...

wasn't for me.

5. 2 points

1. At least Daddy Dearest knows that calling him ass ugly is an insult to asses and Rubio's average face is "pretty" by comparison.

2. Daddy Dearest's idea of "pretty" is porn stars.

If A=B and B=C then A=C then Marco Rubio would make a pretty porn star.

Or something.

6. Ha! I bet too many Republicans recognized her

and would have recognized her if it had been released.

[Feeling the Bern]

7. soft core? Simulated Sex scenes? I guess a fake candidate with fake American citizenship

needs a fake porn actress for his fake ads.

Now if he gets Jenna Jameson, Heather Hunter, Tera Patrick or Christy Canyon to do ads, I might give him a little more.

23. I used to attend the National Religious Broadcasters

convention and trade show at the HUGE Marriott in Anaheim, CA. It was a work thing. The first year I went into the largest bar you had ever seen. It was nearly empty. I asked the bartender if it would be a tough week. He said actually it would be the busiest week of the year...for delivering cocktails, wine, and beer to individual rooms. Hypocrites. He also said the hotel would break records for porn revenue on the TVs. LOL.

24. Well, no one will accuse Eduardo Rafael of being 'a pretty face'

It has been true since the dawn of humankind.

Cruz is a blinkered idiot.

29. This one and the really silly one about the chldren tearing down the playhous makes me doubt his

decision making abilities.

30. It was on purpose

I've worked on too many campaigns.

You generate a harmless "scandal" like this. News and people talk about it and go see the ad.

A fake scandal is worth millions in free ad revenue. Heck, it's on the front page of the Democratic Underground. Talk about exposure!

For example, you've seen the ad now, right? A lot of people have seen the ad because they want to see the pretty girl.

And it even plays into the theme: a pretty face (Rubio/the stripper) will trick you.

Cruz's group is clever, and I have zero doubt they did this on purpose.

It's brilliant. Again, DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THIS DOUCHEBAG. He's very, very clever. He's also a true believer wingnut.
