The ads we're being treated to this cycle are certainly a treat.
Cruz’s Misleading Ad on Military Cuts
A Ted Cruz TV ad running in South Carolina blames President Obama for “threatening 3,000 jobs at Fort Jackson.” Actually, only 180 jobs were cut. The potential for deeper cuts was avoided by a budget bill signed last year by Obama — and opposed by Cruz.
The ad’s claim is based on a worst-case projection from a 2014 U.S. Army report which is now long out of date, and never came to pass. “That [3,000 figure] ended up being the 180,” Fort Jackson spokesman Patrick Jones told us.

I understand, and I am with you... I just am no longer surprised by the bull**** campaign ads put forth. At all.

I'm not surprised either. But what else are we going to talk about?

I don't know... perhaps another celebrity on the outs with her own career will release a desperate but "unauthorized" sex tape with some poor bastard that will later end up bastardized and sued.

(Can anyone tell I am in a terrible and jaded mood yet?)

Besides it being very misleading and bordering on an out and out lie.

Thankfully for the Republicans, Obama isn't running this time. He already beat their ass TWICE. So why is Cruz targeting Obama?

Rubio focused on Obama for almost 10 minutes during yesterday's debate. Listening to Rubio talk, you'd think Obama is leaving the nation in the same shape Bush did.

The nation is doing way better then when Bush left office. The GOP needs to stop acting like we're doomed.

The funniest thing about it, IMO, is this. ^^^ lol.

The bill that kept the jobs, was opposed by Cruz. But Cruz won't get much criticism for this because he's blaming Obama, but Obama is running so there's no chance he'll call him out on this. He's not running against any Dems, so right now they would care either. And none of the other Republicans will probably call him out, because the Ad only seems to be attacking Obama.

But if by some miracle he's gets the GOP nom, the Dems will have a field day with this.

Yeah, most of the GOP candidates still think Obama's running again. And there's a reason for it.
