The funny thing about this Cruz scandal is that it the source of it was likely the golden boy of several people around here.
I mentioned that!

:)

BTW.............. I THOUGHT I would get a lot more from that MEN IN BLACK reference to the validity of the Enquirer.

..............sigh, tough crowd today.............

I don't see it as "slandering' Cruz as much as "revealing" the Enquirer for what they really are.

The purpose of the Article in the Enquirer was to do as much damage as possible to Cruz and his Candidacy.......I don't think the Enquirer folks are Christian..........dunno, maybe? But, they don't seem to care who they slander.

As for being appropriate here on C.C.

I would suggest you venture over to the BDF and review some of the threads there! :)

This is the News Forum, and when FNC/CNN/and the other Media outlets began to report on it, it did become News.

There is another thread here displaying the "silly" stuff, and the "nasty" stuff being said about one of the Candidates or the other...........showing how messy/nasty this Political process truly is.

Edited to provide link:

I have been over to the BDF and the so-called brethren do the same slandering over there too which I am sad to say...:eek:

That sure was a strange way of "revealing" the Enquirer for what they really are ( which I agree with you 100% that the Enquirer is trash )....but the poster said "It wouldn't surprise me a bit if it's true."....the intent of posting the article was made clear to malign a fellow brother in the Lord and to cause suspicion which has been unfounded . That is what is disturbing to me....

I agree that the "rag" is definitely not Christian and it is full of garbage. ...:)

Politically, I wouldn't trust Cruz as far as I could spit. He's leveraging his Christianity to try to get votes, so if he's guilty of hypocrisy, I hope he's exposed.

So Cruz started the photo brouhaha while hiding behind his operatives?
That's what Donald claims...........but not many, other than HIS followers are buying it......... :)

Get it?

"buying it"

Get it?

Why do we post garbage from the National Enquirer known for spewing trash and lies about people in a Christian forum? And Cruz is a Christian brother too. Is this how we are to treat fellow brothers in the Lord?

This junk is ungodly behavior and does nothing but stir up divisions and malice amongst the brethren.

The only solid man of God on the venue and we join in on trashing him.

Wow

Wait..........WHUT?

What does that say about Kasich?

:)

Not everyone is trashing him..........posting what is in the News does not equate to believing what is in the News ya know.

:)

Trump-ites crying about all the Trump bashing and now Cruz-ers crying about the Cruz bashing?

Where was everyone when both Cruz and Trump were BASHING Bush, Rubio, and Carson?


Yeah, it'll be ok............. :)

I think elections are great for "revealing' how we operate in the flesh as can be seen by the malice and slander generated against our Christian brethren.

I happen to agree with that............AND when I was posting the NUMEROUS comments about how easily believers lay aside their Faith when they enter the voting booth...........I didn't get too very much support...........soooooo, I kinda know how it feels........ :)

However, let us be sure that "WE" are bashing christian brothers and sisters, and not simply commenting on or posting what is being reported in the News.

Otherwise, it's sorta the pot ---- kettle thing isn't it?

:)

Now, on the PUT THEM ALL TO THE SWORD thread I authored, I gave my thoughts about Cruz, and others. Can refer to that, and then offer opinions.

Wow
I must have missed the memo that said being Christian immunizes people from scrutiny. Nor did I receive the one that said having an opinion about someone was trashing him. I'll check my inbox...

I have a strong feeling that this whole affair thing started with Trump. Considering that he is good friends with Mr. Pecker. My theory is that Mr. Trump did not like what a PAC did about the public photos on his wife and used it as an excuse to lash out at Mr. Cruz and his family.

You know what that tells me? Either, Mr. Trump is ashamed that his wife posed for pictures in the nude or he gave the idea to the PAC for more publicity to start drama with Mr. Cruz.

Often times we forget who these men are. They are not the savior, they are not going to suddenly make america perfect. Mr. Trump likes to play dirty, because he's an entertainer. He understands what will catch the peoples eye and says things that play with peoples' favor through their emotions. The crazy thing is, what Mr. Trump says has very little substance.
Mr. Cruz has his faults too. I highly doubt that any of them include affairs. He' voted on a bill that wasn't what was best for us, sometimes he hasn't been there to vote for bills because he's campaigning. BUT that is the price every Senator pays when they decide to run for president. The people who work for him ran some ads that weren't accurate. He apologized and took responsibility for it. These people are humans, you know: imperfect.

When did we forget that?

I'll make it no secret, I'm in for Mr. Cruz. But I always try to see both sides of everything and keep my feet, and expectations, firmly plant on the rock. These men are not gods to me, but I see everyday that many people view them as such.

Idolatry, that's what that is.

Lets just say you guys local pastor,a good godly man,gets raided by the FBI and they claim he has kiddie porn on his computer.

Lets say he has vehemently slammed Obama and homosexuals,and gay marriage.
Lets say when the feds raided his house,they took the laptop to their technicians and installed the porn themselves.

What will be your communities reaction????

"I knew he was a pervert"
"shoot the %##$* "

And ours?

The same crucifiction

I know it's wrong to make fun of people, but he really DOES look like Count Chocula. And Donald has the worst comb over ever. It looks like a loose piece of roofing.
