Ted Cruz camp mocks Bible:

Why do you do this Tom? I have seen you post this at least 3 or 4 times and it is just one big lie. What you posted has no reflection on Ted personally and actually not his camp either... the camp would actually be defending the Bible if they honestly thought Rubio was mocking it.

The problem was in the heat of an election they didn't take heed of Proverbs 25:8 .... They didn't do their research (someone in a liberal Penn college newspaper mistitled the words Rubio said and they took their word for it)... In their haste, they put Cruz in a bad light though no fault of his own. What could Cruz do? He did the right thing and asked the staffer to resign immediately the next day. Cruz also futher added that Rubio made a "light-hearted comment" (read innocent and somewhat sweet)...

Rubio was right to be upset at first, but he then used the situation to push too hard and eventually it made him look petty IMHO. Instead of placing some blame where it belonged (student newspaper that still to this day suggests it reported what they heard Rubio say, but could not prove it due to unclear audio). Cruz took responsibility for his staff not heeding the words from the book (Proverbs) Rubio referred them to (and I quoted verse and chapter above).

During an election there is often hundreds of employees, all of them human. A few are going to make mistakes... but assigning blame from one of them to Cruz again is petty, especially in light that Cruz didn't make the mistake and Cruz did not cover for the obvious mistake. There is a long way to say Cruz ran a dirty campaign in this instance to something like Trump posting a faked picture on Twitter of Jeb Bush picking his nose, and you know it.

Personally stuff like this (posting obvious debunked lies) gets my goat. #HighRoad

Ted Cruz BLINDSIDES Lifelong Politicians With New Measure That Could End Their Careers

It would not end their careers. They'd be grandfathered. Truman was grandfathered when the 22nd Amendment passed but chose not to run again.
