Ted Cruz doesn’t want you to know who’s bankrolling his road to the White House

[UCmeNdc]

By now it seems pretty clear that Senator Ted Cruz has a plan to occupy the White House. But he doesn’t want people to know too much about it.

And he definitely doesn’t want you to know about the special interests that have already begun to bankroll his political ambitions.

That’s why the Texas senator’s latest crusade targets the Federal Communications Commission — and its efforts to better identify the funders of political ads.

Cruz has placed a hold on the Senate confirmation of Tom Wheeler to head the agency, despite bipartisan agreement to vote on Wheeler without delay. Cruz wants assurances from Wheeler that the FCC won’t follow the law and require disclosure of the real funders for dark-money political groups that clog the airwaves with negative and misleading ads.

1. To think someone is paying big money to serve that shit sandwich...

2. Tell Cruz that he can always introduce a bill to repeal the law!

So a sitting US Senator wants an agency to not apply a law that was passed by Congress? Cruz is acting more and more like the anointed one every day isn't he?

6. Does not belive in laws he doesn't like.

And acts on that lack of belief ...

3. We can only HOPE that Cruz is the nominee...

He is far worse than Romney. He's more radical and he's got so much that we can throw against him. Sure, the nutjob wing of the Republican party loves him. That's about 20 percent of the Republican party. Independents, reasonable Republicans and Democrats will be repelled by him.

Let the teafools celebrate that "their guy" is finally on the ticket. We can all stand back and watch Cruz lose in a landslide to any Democrat that we offer.

It will be fun.

4. Cruz is proving up his dictatorship skills. Just remember how he lead the House GOP's by the nose.

This piece of crap is out to hurt the US as much as possible. If we do not vet him stopped we could be facing the most horrible time ever in the US. I am amazed of the dummies who contribute.

5. when was the last time that a member of the US House of Represenatives was elected president?

anyone know?

[GeorgeGist]

7. Do you think Cruz is a member?

8. That's right. He's a Senator. Sorry.

I was confused for a moment, since he seems to call the shots there.

9. yeah no kidding

I honestly feel that when ever anybody votes, before they vote they should look at the Federal Election Commission financial disclosure reports and also their states' disclosure reports. For me that would be the Public Disclosure Commission of the State of Washington.

10. Ted Cruz has no Chance to win US Presidency

Ted Cruz appeals to the 18% of the republicans that are tea partiers. Even in a Republican primary he will not get the votes of the majority moderate republicans that voted for Romney in the last republican primary elections.

12. welcome to DU
