Ted Cruz campaign pulls advertisement because it includes softcore porn star

[HAPPY2BME]

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s newest advertisement is relatively tame, though his campaign may think it's too hot for TV after learning that one of the actresses in it has starred in softcore pornography.

Amy Lindsay had a speaking role in the Texas senator’s “Conservatives Anonymous,” where a circle of support group members, one of whom walks in wearing a Marco Rubio shirt, talk about feeling betrayed.


A Ted Cruz campaign ad called "Conservatives Anonymous" has been pulled because actress Amy Lindsay (right) previously featured in softcore pornographic films.

However, the blonde actress’s IMDB page shows previously been featured in productions much racier than this year’s presidential contest, including "Kinky Sex Club," "The Erotic Traveler" and "Co-Ed Confidential."

The ad, where Lindsay says, “Maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time,” was pulled from YouTube as outlets began reporting on Cruz’s newfound connection to 2015’s "Carnal Wishes."

 “The actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the production company,” spokesman Rick Tyler said.

“Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad,” he told Buzzfeed.



Lindsay said she was "disappointed" that the spot giving her national exposure has been taken offline.

 Lindsay has also appeared in non-erotic shows such as "Star Trek: Voyager" and "Pacific Blue." Her website says she has been nominated for an Emmy as an associate producer of documentaries.

“Extremely disappointed the #TedCruz campaign pulled the national television spot I had a role in,” the candidate’s fellow Texas native said.

Lindsay told Buzzfeed that she does not do hardcore pornography, and is a conservative Christian currently deciding between Cruz and Donald Trump in the Republican primary.

The Cruz campaign's foray toward the risqué came as he battles to get the votes of Evangelicals in the South Carolina contest next weekend.

On Thursday the Iowa caucus winner spoke at the "Pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom" Carolina Values Summit at Winthrop University.

The silly things people get hung up on...

She's an actress, looking for work. It's not easy.

Besides, politicians these days don't typically denounce pornography like they did even 20 years ago. The Internet pretty much blew the cover off any attempt to do that.

The ad, where Lindsay says, “Maybe you should vote for more than just a pretty face next time”  ...

I don't like the sound of that. Stick to Rubio's position on the issues and his inexperience, not his looks.

Cruz seems to be losing his focus on issues that really matter to voters - namely, watching our country circle the toilet on it's way down.  That ad with the boy playing with the Trump doll and demolishing the dollhouse was the epitome of stupid.  And now this, "Conservatives Anonymous"?  It seems like he's got some bad people giving him bad advice.

His campaign manager Jeff Roe specializes in sleazy tactics. At the end of every ad, Cruz himself says he approves of the sleaze.

That's the inevitable conclusion.

This!

This is brilliant. The damned thing has gone viral even though he's pulled it.

Once the boys found out there was a porn actress in the ad, their hands couldn't move fast enough trying to find it online.

Free advertising is great.  Figuring out how to get free advertising is even greater.

This is certainly no worse than Trump announcing that he'd date his own daughter if he could.

No worse?  Like you said at he start, it is brilliant.  And funny as Hell too.  The grasshopper learns...or had a nice accident.  We need more funny in this campaign, desperately.

I can't find it on the web that it was his kids.  Someone on Fox just said it when they played it yesterday

It's the nature of this campaign, alas. Consider that Trump employs the services of Roger Stone, another notorious and self-admitted sleaze artist.

Not that I like it, but you have to be prepared to, as the cliché goes, "fight fire with fire."

I thought the same thing...soon as I heard it.

He gets humongous exposure now.....for FREE!
