Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) is fast becoming the king of useless fights and empty gestures. First came his destructive government shutdown gambit. Then came his half-baked idea for fighting the Islamic State. Then he set up a showy albeit unnecessary confrontation with a Christian group, managing to be the only one on the right these days magnifying differences between Jews and Christians unlike, say, Gov. Mike Huckabee, who rallies Christians and Jews to a shared fight against jihadists bent on slaughtering both. And now Cruz is pushing a constitutional amendment to prevent federal courts from vindicating the rights of individuals who challenge state bans on gay marriage. (Consider how he would holler if the left came up with an amendment to prevent Second Amendment claims against gun bans from being heard.) And where would the states come from to pass such an amendment? Wouldnt state courts still overturn anti-gay marriage bans or is he running roughshod over those as well? Never mind it is all about fighting.
On foreign policy he began strongly, dousing the sparks of isolationism with very solid speeches on Russia and Iran. In his trip to Israel and Eastern Europe he came across as informed and poised. But also showed himself to be erratic, joining with the isolationists in opposing enforcement of the red line in Syria....

Wow, the second time I’ve seen a similar headline this week
/coincidence.
Whatever Tubeworm Rubin!
This article is only getting a ping because she needs shaming >:(
Jen Rubin = MORON
“Ted Cruz is morphing into Sarah Palin”
Amazing with the Liberal right sees as a problem. I am convinced they are less intelligent than DU posters. I mean lets face facts. Du posters are simply mentally deficient from day 1. Liberal Repub types had to intentionally reduce their IQ and personal integrity.
That proves they are the more stupid of the two hands down. Darwin Awards should be given.
ping
neo-con? There is no Con in Rubin
I’ve seen dozens, literally, in the last few months. I wonder why they’re attacking him so many years before the election?
right , like that would be a bad thing
I don’t need no Amnesty Queen,
I just want my AR-15.
Finally I’m looking hard at a ‘poodle shooter’, and
I’ve heard good things about the Core ‘Scout’ AR-15.
“Who they approve and disapprove of should tell you a boatload about those candidates. “
That’s for sure. I’ll have to add Jennifer Rubin to the Michael Medved/ Hugh Hewitt GOP-e hack list.
She’s keen on Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Mike Pence and Paul Ryan. And Huckabee. Throw in Medved and Hewitt’s fave Romney and you know who to avoid. Why may not always be obvious, but their support is the kiss of death.
A Palin/Cruz or Cruz/Palin would see me doing something I’ve never done. Donate everything I can and campaign until my feet and voice hurt.
These Bushies apparently do not realize that their attacks on one of the only politicians in DC who speaks for the base of the GOP is saying much more about them than they should be comfortable with.
Ted Cruz is my Senator and my choice for 2016. The only problem I have with Ted, I’d tell him to his face: Hey Ted, get a more stylish hairstyle, Bro.
This article doesn’t make any damn sense.
Is that the best you’ve got on Cruz, Rubin? LOL Everybody knows the Left and GOPe are trying to tarnish his good name and record. The Bushes hate Cruz. The GOPe is scared to death of his popularity.
If you are known by your enemies, Cruz will win if he runs for potus.
I be Cruzin’.
You are absolutely correct. The left will always tell you who they are most afraid of.
Personally I wouldnt care if he was tatted up like that photoshop pic , sporting a sideways Mohawk and rapping.
It’s the ideas that matter.
In fact, we could use a Prez like that ;) I’m still a Palinista but if Ted Runs, O’m there. I do have a couple things I am not happy about with him, Palin too for that matter, but he and she are WAY over the 80% threshold.
Gin is like that.
