"The United States has a responsibility to defend our values"

I just want to know what that means to Ted Cruz.

I've already eliminated Paul from my potential primary choices (though I would vote for him over ANY Democrat). Therefore I'm far less interested in what Paul says than what Cruz says.

I don't want us to be killing, dying and spending to bring democracy to a bunch of goat herders who don't like us anyway...or worse, destroying good allies like what we once had in Egypt.

or worse, destroying good allies like what we once had in Egypt.

That would be the Democrats that did that, not Cruz. Same for Iran, good old Jimmuh.

I posted it twice.

You’re not selling your deal here. Continuing your original out of context post is quite reminiscent of taking care of four year olds who want to manipulate attention over some unrelated cause. And it truly annoys people who can see it for what it is

And it is a continued ad hominem attack against Ted Cruz

I speak for many when I say that those who, like Michael Reagan, Rand Paul and others who attack Cruz and steadfastly quote him out of context with some vague chicken hearted attempt to demoralize his supporters will only succeed in placing themselves into a permanent category of paid political hacks with no wisdom and foresight and out of his camp forever as untrustworthy followers or worse enemies and detractors

There is no true reason to detract from Cruz. Anyone who tries ends up stepping in it terribly before quitting
