Anyone catch this piece on Ted Cruz last night on the Rachel Maddow show

[kbs021]

Turned it on expecting Hillary coverage (just trying to see what they are saying about it) and instead I got some information into the 31 million that the Pacs have raised. I think it starts covering cruz in the later half of this video. Basically the man who is funding cruz heads a company who the IRS states owes them 6 billion dollars.

Yes that's him

Anyone who doesn't want to pay the IRS is okay in my book.

Sure but why wouldn't he gravitate toward Rand. Rand is much more likely to take care of the IRS in my opinion.

Because he doesn't have to or probably shares a different opinion than you?

My point is that this guy isn't a conservative juggernaut. He obviously doesn't care about getting rid of other things. It sounds like he just wants someone to get him out of trouble. I obviously want the IRS gone, but its not correct to just want this one department gone because I am in trouble with them. I think that this should be brought up against cruz. He isn't the "small donor beast" that they are saying he is

Probably because Cruz and his wife know more about tax havens.

That's possible. Just be on the lookout. Could be a similar situation that Santorum did last time. A fake conservative that had a billionaire. It doesn't matter that Cruz voted to raise the debt because of "defense" or voting for the patriot act. He has the billionaire and he was elected by the tea party.

Oh I have no doubt that Cruz is a fraud and has some really shady ties. But atm there just isn't enough concrete material out there to use against him. He's a top lawyer, he's covered his tracks relatively well.
