I have tried not to denounce a Conservative with Cruz's voting record; but how can a man who wears his Faith on his sleeve, as it were, continue to bear false witness against his opponent.
The issues are the issues, and fair game. The personal qualifications of the candidates, are fair game. But there is a clear difference between discussing qualifications, and cherry picking incidents from past situations, then ignoring the context of those situations; then ascribing the worst possible motivations to those cherry picked incidents, taken wholly out of context; and using the concocted conclusions as though they were serious arguments.
Ted Cruz cannot continually violate the Commandment against "bearing false witness," and not lose credibility among those who once respected his protestations of an ethical compass.
Sicilian mobsters would be a pleasure considering what we have roaming the big city streets these days.
