bill-11b:The irony of course, is a liberal claiming to stand on facts. http://blog.chron.com/txpotomac/2013/03/half-of-ted-cruzs-political-claims-are-false-politifact-reports/Half of Ted Cruz’s political claims are false, PolitiFact reportsSince his arrival on the national political scene, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has been making headlines.He has become a hero to many on the right because of his relentless attacks on the Obama administration and his aggressive brand of constitutional conservatism. But liberals have likened the outspoken Houston Republican to the late Joe McCarthy, dubbed him the Senate’s “biggest loser” and, now point to the PolitiFact web site’s finding that he, well, often doesn’t tell the truth.PolitiFact is a Pulitzer prize winning project that rates the claims of office-seekers and office-holders. Its Texas branch is headed up by the Austin American-Statesman’s Gardner Selby, one of the most respected political reporters in the state capital.To assess Cruz’s accuracy rate, PolitiFact investigated 14 of the senator’s statements and found that he wasn’t telling the truth 50 percent of the time.Ted’s managed to score ‘True” or “Mostly true” a mere 8% of the time. The guy’s a snake oil salesman and you’re all falling for him. -- source link
