Yet when this political war is supposed to transpire in Republican primaries, Gentlemen's Rules keep kid gloves on among about two dozen candidates. Mustn't break Reagan's 11th commandment! Mustn't point out rank or fundamental groundedness in "more cowbell" Democrat-style governing -- you can only toot your own horn, pointing out flaws in your opponents is verboten! So we ONCE AGAIN all do the folk dance of "Circular Firing Squad!" and end up with Mr. Weak Sister.
Yet another reason to go third Second Party, I swear. Cruz is an answer to our prayers, plain as day, we have ONE CHANCE to do it right -- and man you are so right .... Groundhog Day!
Then again, Norm, maybe we'll be eating crow in November of 2016 when Cruz runs as the Republican presidential nominee. If we do, it'll be tasty.
But from my POV, it's all panning out exactly as it always has: "Celebrate diversity!!! Let's rejoice on all our candidates!" Instead of jealously guarding the process and saying, "Look, we already got the guy we need, stay out of it." As you say, this is war, political war but war nonetheless.
That’s a bird I hope to have served to me. I think he will win. But he will win DESPITE the gutless wonders and the ‘I know betters”. He and we must fight them more than democrats because while they mirror democrats, they are far worse. The enemy within.
