    Two wrongs do not make a right. Cruz an unabashed Weasel and foreign born pretender to the throne who wants to be the president of our United States of America did in my opinion use his young daughters in a political ad. Yes that is a despicable act by The Weasel. But yes the editorial cartoonist for the Wash Post also did a despicable act.

    Children should never be used for political ads ( BY ANY PARTY ) and political cartoonists and "media" should never attack children

    When The Drug Addict Rushman Limbaugh made fun of Chelsea Clinton people of good moral standards were disgusted. Yes it is true that some hard core GOPPERS and Clinton haters cheered Their favorite Drug Addict.

    Wrong in wrong whether it's committed by conservatives liberals Democrats or Republicans ....

    PS I am not citing Socialists because they are just wrong by nature....

    Correct! No politician's children should be ridiculed.

    If the Weasel Cruz actually used monkeys instead of his children this carton could have been ok.

    Are those supposed to be his kids? I wouldn't have guessed that without being told. If so then that's way out of line.

    Yes the cartoon is as out of line as Weasel Cruz's use of his children in a political ad.

    Yes you are correct. Yet it is best not touch something like this because even if you are 100 % correct there is always that opening you give that leaves you exposed to being accused of "attacking" his kids. I know it disgusting but what Weasel Cruz did is disgusting also. There may be some other way to criticize the Weasel ( Cruz ) for using his kids. Maybe charges of child abuse could be brought up. I don't know...

    The sad truth is that The Weasel Cruz has gotten away with using his kids in a political ad and there is not much anyone can do. The Weasel Cruz can abuse his kids but no one can do anything without being accused of doing what The Weasel did.

    I final saw the ad that the Weasel made using his two little girls and it was disgusting. He used DR Sues dities and had one of his daughters read an anti-Hillary lost email ditty Grinch who stole Email and another about OBAM CARE. I t is ok for adults to do political ads but using children - his own children is indeed disgusting. Still I do not condone the cartoon but I also do not condone using children in political ads. Weasel Cruz - "Sir" have you no shame?"

    That is likely true but the vast majority of us good parents would never make our kids perform in a political ad as Cruz The Weasel did.

    Drones are programmed to "hate" and "attack" anyone who doesn't conform to the group think. Cruz, Paul, and Trump are all major targets because they lead the opposition to the collective. The fundamental transformation of America has begun. In-tolerance will not be tolerated. Resistance is futile.

    I don't see a problem with Cruz's kids being in an ad for their dad. They are his #1 supporters. People that support baby chop shops are never going to show respect for children. This is just an example of the left at it's best.

    And the weasel Clinton unabashedly uses her granddaughter in her campaign ads. The most recent one being "I am like your abuela" which totally bombed with Hispanics. So what do you say about weasel Clinton?

    I agree, the WaPo cartoon is vile.

    Do you think Cruz was wrong in exploiting his kids like that?

    Near every politician brings their family into ads, twirling them around in a big green field, eating dinner together, or simply surrounded by them, showing the candidate as a family man

    -- do you think it's the same thing when a candidate uses them to advance an attack ad, putting political scripted lines into the mouths of his daughters to demonize the opposition?

    Can we agree the WaPo cartoon was wrong, while at the same time saying Cruz was wrong to do that?

    Seen the politician. See his family. Oh great! His dick works!

    Good parents normally wouldn't use their children this way, but most parents are not a politicians. Every single politician uses their kids, and if they have no kids, then their Yorkshire Terriers, as a stage prop to portray themselves as being in touch with your average working family. Not just Ted Cruz, but every single politician, so if one is singling out one politician, then I don't see that you are truly offended by this time honored practice, but more likely, you have an irrational hatred of Ted Cruz and were simply looking for an objectionable action and this incident came up to affirm your views and biases.

    Even though using your kids as stage props for a campaign is despicable, using your wife as a stage prop in a sex scandal is infinitely worse. Look at Mrs. Spitzer in this video and ask if this isn't one of the cruelest and most humiliating things you have ever seen.

    One thing which I have no tolerance for is for a candidate to pimp his children in a political ad. Are you fine with Weasel Cruz pimping his kids?

    What Spitzer is Disspitzerable but are you honest enough to admit that such behavior is not partisan in that dirt bags from both political parties engage is such activity ?

    I disagree. Politicians have long used images of their family to show that they are "normal family men" like everyone else voting.

    That's normal and innocuous and it shouldn't make the family members targets. Everyone has that advantage (or nearly everyone) so they can all take that high road.

    I hope that I am thinking in a more pragmatic way. Of course, there is always a chance of partisan myopia coloring anything I view. Why do politicians use their children as stage props? Because it works. If the public is so easily persuaded by the pro-family posturing and imagery, then that is on the voters. If a politician has a bad 35 to 45 demographic, then they pull out the kids and the family dog and their demographic goes up. Is that exploitation of children? Yes it is, but we are not electing people to be a saint. We need to elect people who are skilled politicians and skilled politicians exploit others in order to do the greater good. That is the game that is being played. What would it tell you about a politician who isn't bright enough to look at demographic polling data and do what they can to fix the deficits they have? Would they be too inept to elect? Probably.

    Even though this may sound I am favor of the practice, I really despise the use of kids as stage props. The real solution is to educate the public that the politicians are using their kids to manipulate public perceptions, but that isn't going to work, the public falls for and loves the illusion. So what is one to do? Treat both sides with equal contempt? Be zen about it and take the imagery with a grain of salt? Be skeptical? Who knows?

    If Hilary had young kids and put them in an ad, you'd totally defend it. Whats funny is seeing the "baby chop shop" left pretend to care about children. Totally fake outrage.

    Then what do you think of Chelsea Clinton allowing her daughter to be in Hillary's ad? I guess she isn't a good parent.
