DIRTY TRICKS IN IOWA BY CRUZ CAMPAIGN... AND LET THE POOR DIE

  FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES, JAN. 30, 2016: 
[SCROLL DOWN TO 2nd ARTICLE AT THAT SITE, AFTER READING #1]

"Iowa’s secretary of state chastised the presidential campaign of Senator Ted Cruz on Saturday for sending a mailer that he said violated “the spirit of the Iowa caucuses” and misrepresented state election law.

The mailer, flagged by a handful of Twitter users and confirmed as authentic by the Cruz campaign, included a warning of a “voting violation” in capital letters at the top of the page.

It informed voters they were receiving a notice “because of low expected voter turnout in your area.”

“Your individual voting history as well as your neighbors’ are public record,” the flier read. 

“Their scores are published below, and many of them will see your score as well. CAUCUS ON MONDAY TO IMPROVE YOUR SCORE and please encourage your neighbors to caucus as well.  

A follow-up notice may be issued following Monday’s caucuses.”

Below the text was a list of names, letter grades and percentage scores.

IT'S A BLATANT LIE, BUT THE SEC. OF STATE WAS KINDER...

The secretary of state, Paul D. Pate, called the effort “misleading.”

“Accusing citizens of Iowa of a ‘voting violation’ based on Iowa caucus participation, or lack thereof, is false representation of an official act,” Mr. Pate said.

 “There is no such thing as an election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or statement to the contrary is wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in the spirit of the Iowa caucuses.”

Mr. Pate added that his office never “grades” voters, nor does it maintain records of caucus participation. 

He said that the office also did not “distribute” voter records, but they were available “for purchase for political purposes only, under Iowa Code.”

CRUZ CAMPAIGN ADMITS SENDING THE FLIERS.

The Cruz campaign confirmed the mailers had originated from the campaign and said there was nothing inappropriate about the materials.
“These mailers are common practice to increase voter turnout,” said Matt Schultz, the campaign’s Iowa state chairman and a former Iowa secretary of state.

 “Our mailer was modeled after the very successful 2014 mailers that the Republican Party of Iowa distributed to motivate Republican voters to vote, and which helped elect numerous Republican candidates during that cycle.”

BINGO! 
"VERY SUCCESSFUL SCARE TACTIC BEFORE"...RIGHT?
DIRTY TRICKS...A CAMPAIGN TOOL.

THE FOLLOWING STRUCK CLOSE TO HOME AS IT IS THE IDENTICAL SCENARIO A BROTHER OF ONE OF MY SONS-IN-LAW EXPERIENCED....UNABLE TO AFFORD HEALTH CARE UNTIL "OBAMACARE" AND BY THEN IT WAS TOO LATE.

Uncomfortable Question for Ted Cruz on Obamacare Silences the Room

HUBBARD, Iowa — " Senator Ted Cruz is often asked about doing away with President Obama’s health care law. He is less rarely pressed by voters on what will replace it.

But at a middle school cafeteria here, a man, Mike Valde, presented him with a tragic tale.

 His brother-in-law Mark was a barber — “a small-business man,” he said. He had never had a paid vacation day. He received health insurance at last because of the Affordable Care Act. He began to feel sick and went to a doctor.

“He had never been to a doctor for years,” Mr. Valde, 63, of Coralville, Iowa, said. “Multiple tumors behind his heart, his liver, his pancreas. And they said, ‘We’re sorry, sir, there’s nothing we can do for you.’ ”

The room was silent.

“Mark never had health care until Obama care,” Mr. Valde continued. “What are you going to replace it with?”

Mr. Cruz expressed condolences and pivoted quickly to a well-worn answer assailing the health care law.

Mr. Cruz said “millions of Americans” had lost their jobs and their doctors as a result of the law, and that many had “seen their premiums skyrocket.”

THAT WAS NOT THE QUESTION, YOU IGNORANT, HEARTLESS PUTZ!

Mr. Valde — who said in an interview later that he did in fact intend to caucus for Mrs. Clinton — pressed on.

“My question is, what are you going to replace it with?” he said.

Mr. Cruz said he was getting there, but had to lay out the problems with the law first. 

[BS, BS, BS! HE WAS STALLING BECAUSE THE LYING CANADIAN DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER!]

 “There are millions of stories on the other side,” he said, describing voters who had liked their insurance plans and lost them because the plans did not provide the level of coverage the new law required.

Mr. Cruz turned back to Mr. Valde. “Your father-in-law, he couldn’t afford it,” he said.

“Brother-in-law,” Mr. Valde said.

“Your brother-in-law couldn’t afford it,” Mr. Cruz said.

“Right,” Mr. Valde said. “But he could afford it — he finally got it under Obama.”

“He would have gotten it earlier, if he could have afforded it earlier,” Mr. Cruz said. “But because of government regulations he couldn’t.”

NO, YOU SCHMUCK!
HE DIDN'T HAVE THE FREAKING MONEY!
 

Moments later, Mr. Cruz wrapped up and Mr. Valde sat down."

CRUZ DODGED THE QUESTION...BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLAN FOR AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE IN THE GOP'S CART.

THE GOP DOESN'T GIVE ONE WEE DAMN IF THE POOR HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, CAN SEE A DOCTOR, HAVE FOOD TO EAT, OR IF THEIR CHILDREN DO.

WHY NOT JUST ADMIT IT?

THE ELITISTS IN BOTH PARTIES DON'T GIVE TWO CENTS ABOUT THE MIDDLE OR "LOWER" CLASSES IN AMERICA.

CAN'T SEE A DOCTOR BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS LAYING AROUND?

TOUGH! 

CAN'T AFFORD $300 PRESCRIPTIONS?
WHO CARES...EXCEPT THE DYING, THE SICK, THE ONES IN PAIN?

CAN'T SHELL OUT $5000 FOR A CT SCAN TO DIAGNOSE WHAT'S KILLING YOU?
TOO BAD!
YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE UPPER CLASS!

DISGUSTING...UTTERLY AND SADLY AND ALWAYS DISGUSTING WHEN AN AMERICAN CITIZEN ASKS A SIMPLE QUESTION AND A LYING, UNFEELING, SELF-CENTERED POLITICIAN WON'T ANSWER, AND DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN.

EVEN WORSE THAT OVER HALF OF AMERICA'S PEOPLE ARE CONDEMNED TO GO BACK TO NO HEALTH INSURANCE AT ALL WHILE THE GOP AND A FEW DEMOCRATS PULL THE PLUG ON ANY HOPE THEY HAD TO AFFORD HEALTH CARE.

LIKE ALAN GRAYSON SAID SO WELL, "THE GOP PLAN FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD HEALTH CARE?
DON'T GET SICK!"

BUT IF YOU DO, PLAN TO STAY SICK, UNTIL, LIKE SO MANY, YOU SIMPLY DIE.

I WATCHED IT HAPPEN ALL MY LIFE. 
THE POOR HAD NO HOPE TO GET MEDICAL HELP WHEN THEY NEEDED IT AND I PERSONALLY SAW DOZENS DIE BECAUSE OF THAT...LACK OF MONEY.  


WATCHED IT AT A SOUTHERN HOSPITAL FOR 8 YEARS...
SHOWING UP BY AMBULANCE AT AN EMERGENCY ROOM AFTER THEY COLLAPSED, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN TREATED, AND DEATH AVOIDED JUST MONTHS PRIOR TO THEIR COLLAPSE, HAD ESCALATED, AND WHEN WE SAW THEM, IT WAS JUST TOO LATE.

"DON'T YOU THINK I'D HAVE GOTTEN HELP SOONER IF I COULD HAVE AFFORDED IT?" ONE YOUNG MAN RAGED.
"I'M GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF MONEY! I DIDN'T HAVE ANY! I WORKED SINCE I WAS 13 AND NEVER HAD MONEY LEFT. IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY!"


OBAMACARE IS NOT THE BEST ANSWER, BUT THERE IS AN ANSWER. 
ALL AMERICANS NEED TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO SEE A DOCTOR, GET MEDICINES, LIVE!

ELITISTS MAY NOT THINK SO, BUT ANYONE WITH A HEART, ANYONE WITH COMPASSION, ANY ETHICAL HUMAN WOULD THINK SO.

COUNT CRUZ OUT ON ALL THOSE.

HE HAS THE BEST HEALTH CARE WE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS CAN PROVIDE FOR HIM AND THE REST OF CONGRESS.


ALL ELITIST BASTARDS BE DAMNED!

I AM SICK OF THEIR "WAR ON POVERTY"...THE WAR AGAINST THE POOR AND THE MIDDLE CLASS!

POSTSCRIPT:

Cruz was asked at a presidential campaign stop Saturday in Ida Grove, Iowa, if he could improve school lunches there.
 
Cruz said he couldn’t, but then drew cheers for saying he wants to abolish the U.S. Department of Education and leave decisions like what to serve for lunch to states and local school districts.

LIAR!
IT'S ALREADY UP TO THE STATES, BUT THEY LIKE THAT FEDERAL MONEY SO THEY SIGN UP FOR FEDERAL LUNCH PROGRAMS!
EACH STATE GETS THAT CHOICE!

Cruz says he recently had lunch his second-grade daughter’s school and was served eggs and waffles. Cruz says he found that “bizarre.”

Cruz says when his wife is first lady “it means French fries are coming back to school.”


THERE WILL BE NO OR FEWER SCHOOL LUNCHES IF THE GOP HAS ITS WAY! 

DID HE ASK A KID WHOSE ONLY MEAL IS SCHOOL LUNCH IF EGGS AND WAFFLES WAS "BIZARRE" TO THEM?
DOES ANY POLITICIAN GIVE A DAMN IF EGGS MEAN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HUNGRY ALL DAY AND NOT BEING HUNGRY?

THE GOP AND SOME DEMOCRATS HAVE LONG FOUGHT TO STOP PROVIDING SCHOOL LUNCHES, ESPECIALLY FREE LUNCHES TO KIDS WHOSE PARENTS CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY.

GO LOOK AT HOW MANY IN CONGRESS VOTED TO END FOOD "SUBSIDIES" TO THE ELDERLY, THE DISABLED, TO AMERICAN VETERANS, TO ALL CHILDREN!

IT'S A NATIONAL DISGRACE, THE WAY THE "UPPER CLASS" IS TRYING TO WIPE OUT EVERYONE "BENEATH THEM", THE ELDERLY, THE VETS, AND KIDS.

NO MORE "MEALS ON WHEELS" HERE, AND ONE LOCAL ORGANIZATION BLAMED DEFUNDING OF THAT FOR THE DEATH BY STARVATION OF AN ELDERLY BLACK GENTLEMAN.

THAT ONE MEAL WAS ALL HE HAD....HE WAS ALONE IN THE WORLD...HE COULDN'T EVEN AFFORD A PHONE, ELECTRICITY, SO HE DIED. 


ONLY AFTER HE DIED, AFTER HE STARVED TO DEATH, DID ANYONE REALIZE ANY OF THE ABOVE....
WHY?


IT'S JUST HOW IT IS IN AMERIKA, INC.
