Cruz failed to disclose second 2012 loan: report? Provided by The Hill Cruz failed to disclose second 2012 loan: report
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) reportedly failed to disclose a second loan for as much as $500,000 from Citibank to fund his 2012 Senate campaign, according to a letter he sent to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on Thursday.
The disclosure comes after the Republican presidential candidate was already facing scrutiny for failing to adequately report a Goldman Sachs loan of up to $500,000 he also used to fund his 2012 bid.
The one-page letter, obtained by the New York Times, said both loans were ?inadvertently omitted? from the required filings.
The Citibank loan was a line of credit, according to the Times. It is not clear from the letter what collateral, if any, was used to obtain it.
Cruz has claimed on the campaign trail that he and his wife, Heidi, who works at Goldman Sachs, liquidated their entire family savings of more than $1 million to fund his long-shot Senate bid.
The issue of Cruz?s loan came up in Thursday night?s Republican primary debate, in which the senator blamed a ?paperwork error? and said he had disclosed the loan in a separate filing.
?But, yes, I made a paperwork error, disclosing it on one piece of paper instead of the other,? he said. ?But if that?s the best hit the New York Times has got, they?d better go back to the well.?
Republican primary front-runner Donald Trump, who is running neck-and-neck with Cruz in the Iowa caucuses, has called the loan a ?very big thing,? but so far refrained from attacking Cruz directly on the issue.

The Obamas? Chicago Home

Q: Does Obama have a real estate problem?
A: A political patron from whom he bought a strip of land is under federal indictment, but there?s no evidence Obama did anything improper.
FULL QUESTION
Was Obama?s real estate deal in Illinois really an issue?
FULL ANSWER
Here?s what happened: In 2005, Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, bid $1.65 million for a house on the south side of Chicago. According to newspaper reports, the owner was also trying to sell an undeveloped parcel of land adjacent to the property Obama was buying, and he wanted the sales of the two to close on the same day. Obama has said that he mentioned he was buying the house to a longtime political patron, Antoin (Tony) Rezko, a developer. Rezko?s wife wound up buying the lot adjacent to Obama?s. At the request of the Obamas, who were seeking a bit more space for their yard, she later sold them a 10-foot wide strip, or about one-sixth, of her land. The Obamas paid $104,500 for it, or about one-sixth of what Mrs. Rezko had paid for the entire property.
Obama doesn?t appear to have reaped any financial advantages from the transactions. The reason the deal has received a good bit of attention is that Tony Rezko ? whose political contributions to Illinois? former governor, Obama and others totaled in the hundreds of thousands of dollars ? was known to be under federal investigation at the time the Obamas were purchasing their home. In 2006, Rezko was indicted in three federal cases: Two involved fraud schemes in which he allegedly demanded payments from firms wanting work from the enormous Illinois teachers? pension fund and from those wanting favorable rulings from a state board that regulates the building of new hospital facilities. In the third, he was charged with fraudulently obtaining more than $10 million in loans for a pizza restaurant business; in December 2007, prosecutors added more fraud counts to that indictment.
Obama has a relationship with Rezko that dates back many years, but there?s no indication Obama did anything improper. Shortly after finishing law school, Obama, who had turned down a job offer from the developer, went to work at a law firm where he represented some community groups that partnered with Rezko to apply for housing rehabilitation loans. As a state legislator, he wrote letters to city and state officials in support of Rezko?s efforts to build apartments for the elderly with government money; the senator asserts that this was a project the community wanted. Obama got together with Rezko a couple of times a year, he has said.
Obama has donated campaign contributions from Rezko and his associates to charity, and he said in 2006, when the real estate transaction was reported by the press, that he made a ?boneheaded? mistake by participating in the deal when it was known that Rezko was being investigated. ?I regret it,? Obama said. ?I?m going to make sure from this point on I don?t even come close to the line.?

what a great man
What a great President
Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump took aim at rival Ted Cruz in a series of Saturday morning tweets, taunting Cruz over challenges to his citizenship and reports that he did not disclose campaign loans.
Trump has tried to stoke concerns that Cruz would face legal challenges to his eligibility for president because he was born in Canada. After a Friday lawsuit questioning exactly that, Trump took a victory lap.
?Ted Cruz was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen until 15 months ago. Lawsuits have just been filed with more to follow. I told you so,? he wrote.
The billionaire businessman also tied concerns about Cruz?s citizenship to questions about loans for his 2012 Senate campaign that Cruz reportedly failed to disclose to the Federal Election Commission.
A series of New York Times reports in recent days accuse Cruz of getting two loans up to $500,000 each from Citibank and Goldman Sachs to fund his long-shot 2012 race for the Texas Senate seat, and not fully disclosing them to campaign finance authorities.
Cruz dismissed the controversy as a ?paperwork error? during Thursday?s GOP presidential debate, implying that the first Times report was attacking him unfairly to bring down his presidential campaign.
Trump on Saturday called Cruz?s explanation ?not believable,? adding that ?Goldman Sachs owns him, he will do anything they demand.?

cant imagine how hedge and skul will be able to live with it for 8 longgggggggg years
Start with 1964 and Barry Goldwater's "Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice" (not to mention his opposition to the Civil Rights Act). Then careen through Richard Nixon's embrace of "the silent majority" and his 1968 dog whistle campaign slogan, "This time, vote like your whole world depended on it." Pause as Ronald Reagan opens his 1980 general election campaign at the Neshoba County Fair in Mississippi, just miles from the earthen dam where the bodies of civil rights organizers Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney were found. Here's George H.W. Bush and Willie Horton; and the Karl Rove-orchestrated whispering campaign on behalf of Dubya against John McCain in 2000, implying that McCain had fathered an illegitimate black child.
All of this and so much more have created the current Republican pickle. Add fear mongering that tramples reason and truth, the thoughtless pursuit of profit at the expense of factories and jobs, the slavish devotion to the hands that feed the party its campaign cash. Then stir in the desecration of checks and balances and the chronic dysfunction of government decried by those most responsible for it, in the manner of the fireman turned arsonist who strikes the match, then wrings his hands at the charred ruins he created.
This is not to say that Republicans invented inertia, corruption and dirty, race-baiting tricks, but you get the picture. GOP, you've really done it this time -- tickled the tail once too often and now you're paying the price, as are the rest of us. At risk is not just electoral defeat but the collapse of an already frail democracy. Here be dragons.

I voted against Clinton twice :lol: I voted against Algore and Kerry, I didn't vote for McCain I voted against Obama twice , I vote against people not necessarily for someone
if you only knew how stupid that way of thinking is
why dont you just say I only vote GOP no matter who the democrats put up.
I dont vote for a person who will change America for the better.
I dont care if the GOP elect is a stupid, crook, weasal, lieing sack of horseshit, he still gets my vote.
:facepalm:
Cruz is running a shell game. There's no evidence his father came to the USA legally (no visa). There's no record of the marriage of his parents in the United States (and wouldn't Cruz Sr. have received a green card at the time of marriage?...yet there's no evidence of that.)...his father and mother were both on the eligibility rolls to vote in Canada (have to be a citizen for that)...Cruz Sr. ony has an online preacher ordination (so do I. I've been ordained by the Church of the Latter Day Dude)...and Mom lied about having a son who died with her first husband in London (it was not his son and they were divorced) ....Cruz Sr. lied about his communist activities with Castro and Cruz Jr. lied about his campaign loans from Wall Street. There are so many lies, it's gotta be a con. Oh, and he's NOT a Natural Born Citizen.
The fact that he had Canadian citizenship until November of 2014 is damning here. Dual citizens are forbidden to run for the presidency I believe.
