So I will acknowledge your double standard (standard of proof for thee but not for me!) ... but I think that's great that you think I'm unhinged ... moderately of course. I think it's great that I remind you of Bush staring into Putin's eyes. When I am running for president, if you believe that, then I urge you to express those things, because they would be important.
As it is, maybe I'm mentally unhinged and maybe I'm not ... fortunately, the future of the free world doesn't teeter on your being right or wrong. If it did, I'd encourage you to err on the side of trusting your gut ... especially assuming I lied a lot and made deals with people just 2 minutes ago I called a cartel - deals directly against the interest of the people just 3 minutes ago I purported to defend and for whom I promised to fight.
It's wonderful how well manipulative, ambitious disconnected people and naive people fit so well together as a team and go on to accomplish such wonderful damage.
But if you support Cruz ... wake up Giles ... you support his vision for himself. If you're not humble enough to wonder if you've been fooled at this point, then you're just the kind of supporter he's looking for.
I don't say this out of some kind of superiority ... I've been duped by people ... just ... like .... Ted. It's the pain and betrayal that tunes your BS meter so delicately. Often, they're not even totally conscious that other than their own vision, there is a shared vision that is what others believe they are serving ... and so .. they are very very convincing - they're not even aware they are lying in a 'bad way'.
Hmmmmm - my sarcasm escapes you. I used your own methods against you, to show you how foolish they are. It is OK for you to say the most vile things about someone, based on your feelings, but not OK for me to express my much milder feelings about you.
It is hilarious that you somehow got the “feeling” that I support Cruz simply because I object to the trashing of him. Since I know exactly whom I support and do not support, I can state with assurance that your feelings are simply your attempts to justify your irrational hatred.
