Cruz Highlights Father in Latest TV Ad
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz's father, Rafeal Cruz, is the star of his son's latest election ad for television.
"The promise of freedom drove me to overcome torture in Cuba and come to Texas," Rafeal Cruz says in the ad.
Cruz is running against Democrat Paul Sadler, Libertarian John Jay Myers and Green Party candidate David Collins to replace U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Republican. Both Sadler and Myers have also released television ads in the past month.

He fought on the side of the COMMIE Fidel Castro. Not anything I want to listen to.

Does he wave that famous pair of underwear? While Cruz talks about how he wants to cut government entitlements he sure doesn't mention the billions the US spent to help Cuban immigrants. This group got more in special programs (loans, tuition, settlement) than any other group in modern times. While there's nothing wrong with helping deserving people, Cruz's hypocrisy in this matter is egregious.

Ted Cruz' father became a U.S. Citizen by marrying and American girl and then divorcing her. His father was a teenage communist. This is such a crock of crap.

I wish he would go back to Canada.

Why won't Ted Cruz talk about issues? What will he do when he does away with the Department of Commerce.....and another "Sandy" hits our country? Answer questions and talk about issues, we know the family history, that has been all he has talked about.

Very good ad Cruz. I want to say we all are ready to see you take your seat in the senate and you do the job Texans and Americans have sent you there to do. God speed.
