Cruz is crazy smart but it still makes me a tad squeamish that some on our side are now ringing the “superior intellect candidate” bell that the Left clanged for Obama.
Ah, but we can PROVE that our “superior intellect candidate” is everything we claim and more! Mr. Obama never released his grades at any school he attended, never wrote an article, even though he was editor of the law review, etc. Mr. Cruz on the other hand, wrote numerous articles as editor and was also executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review. THREE law reviews!
While at Princeton, he competed for the American Whig-Cliosophic Society’s Debate Panel and won the top speaker award at both the 1992 U.S. National Debating Championship and the 1992 North American Debating Championship. In 1992, he was named U.S. National Speaker of the Year, as well as Team of the Year, with his debate partner, David Panton. Cruz was a semi-finalist at the 1995 World Universities Debating Championship, making him Princeton’s highest-ranked debater at the championship. Princeton’s debate team later named their annual novice championship after Cruz.
Beginning to see the difference?
There is a strong difference in that comparison. For the left and Obama, there really wasn’t a bell there to ring. Call it an air-toll if you will. Nothing there to gong.
The difference is that Obama is not particularly smart. His supporters said he was smart because he went to Harvard and because he is a Democrat. As we all know, leftists think that ALL leftists are smart, and all conservatives are idiots.
But Cruz is the real deal, and I think it's great to rub it in the Democrats' faces that he is much, much smarter than pretty much all of them. It's been so easy for them to call conservatives stupid, but now when confronted with Cruz' superior intellect all they can say is: "Homina, Homina, Homina."
In this case it's true, with obama, he's so dumb, he can't pick his nose without instructions from a teleprompter.
