Now DO- Cruz voted for it- that’s a matter of record. I accept that- and have absolutely no problem with it.
What I don’t ascribe to is the maniacal ravings of some who say that, because he voted for the agreement, he’s (1) establishment; (2) COC; (3) pro-Iran or (4) any other such nonsense. This guy’s a patriot- more than you, me or anyone else on the board.
The reality is:
1. We are dealing with a lawless president, backed by Dems and unopoosed by the GOP.
2. Whether it’s a treaty, agreement or whatever else one wants to label it is irrelevant, — because this President will bypass Congress.
Now, within those parameters, Ted Cruz, and a couple of others, are trying to scuttle the deal. It is absolutely incredible to me that people on the board are castigating the one guy who is putting himself on the line to fight against Iran getting the bomb.
Now, to the extent you think my reaction constitutes “spin”, I can assure you, respectfully, that I don’t care who you, or anyone else on the board, wants to vote for in the primary.
I’m only defending an honorable man who is fighting an honorable fight— how he chooses to fight it— is up to him.
But, I certainly will defend him against those keyboard generals, who have no answers and aren’t involved in the fight, but instead, sit back and spew out venom at the very man trying to defend their freedoms.
VinL, we all come to our keyboards to discuss what politicians have done. Now that I bring up an issue regarding Cruz that’s somehow reduced to being a key-board general?
Was I a keyboard general when I addressed things McCain, Clinton, Romney, and Obama had done?
What is this forum for, if we can’t address what our candidates have done. Literally hundreds of issues have been brought up about Trump. Were the folks who brought them up just key-board generals?
Sometimes it’s best to just agree that what your guy did was wrong and leave it at that. All the defense in the world isn’t going to explain it away, and in the end it just appears that the candidate was trying to have it both ways. Vote for making it easier to approve of the Iran deal, and then professing to be one of the loudest voice against it.
“No(xW) DO- Cruz voted for it- that’s a matter of record. I accept that- and have absolutely no problem with it.
Okay, then every time someone on our side votes for something they shouldn’t, I guess we’re supposed to immediately assume they know more than us and collectively issue a “NEVER MIND” order, so we have perfect harmony.
Well, not going to operate by those rules.
When someone on our side screws up, I’m going to be talking about it.
If that makes me a Leftist in your eyes, so be it.
