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.

Regards my tagline;

I don’t keep track of the mean spirited Cruz posters who congregate on the Walker threads, so I have no idea if you are one or not. I simply call them ‘The Cruz Contingent’.

The mere fact that you commented on the tagline as you did would indicates that you are probably NOT one of those who I pointed at.

If you were, your response would be more along the lines of what I got a long time ago. I am paraphrasing, but I’m not far off from the actual words used. It went something like this, ‘We don’t have time to convince you about Cruz, get the hell out of our way’.

Compare nearly any Cruz thread with nearly any Walker thread. You’ll see a very large number of Cruz ‘re-educators’ on the Walker threads, something that doesn’t happen in reverse.

By ‘re-educators’ I’m talking about mean spirited attacks, rather than discussions and questions about political positions. The attacks are worded in such a way that they appear to be designed ‘educate’ the reader not to question the posters knowledge.

To the question I ask in my tagline; from what I’ve seen of Cruz, he isn’t as mean spirited. He appears to be just the opposite.

Which is why I ask the question.
