This is an illustration of the difference between intelligence and wisdom.

In any case, Republicans should resist the urge to engage in demagoguery on this question. The fact is, if Mrs. Clinton thinks the Citizens United ruling is egregiously wrong, then she has every right, and even a duty, as president to nominate justices who would correct it............. On this other hand, this also means that there is nothing wrong with a Republican president applying a litmus test and nominating only justices who would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

First, let me explain my thoughts on your tagline.

After watching Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, and Romney rope-a-dope against Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and Obama, I do hope that Cruz will be as willing to point out Walker’s weaknesses has I have been.

It would give me confidence he would be prepared to go up against the worst the Democrats had to offer, which was not the case over the last 23 years.

I know that some people think I have been very unfair to Walker, but I provided a link to his own comments to take him to task.

His supporters refused to acknowledge what he said in plain English, characterizing me as not only extremely unfair to Walker, but also having to be a stealth Bush supporter.

While you may not have done so, I am a person that has been characterized as you are characterizing people with your tagline.

I believe that it’s fair to take her to task for her advocacy, if her advocacy is for something that is wrong.

If you are saying that it would be wrong to take her to task on litmus tests, I would agree. We should use litmus tests too.

If she is emphasizing that abortion should be readily available, then I would say she’s open to strident criticism.

I didn’t enter this thread to read the subject matter or comment on it, so I’m not claiming to know what her emphasis was.
