I said in my earlier post that replies like yours are best ignored. However, I have to respond to your innacurate post about Reagan. He frequently took the route of anecdotes, and people often asserted that he'd made them up. Have you never read a biography of Reagan or watched any of his speeches?
Gosh, you have officially painted me with that broad brush, despite my late replies to this thread. I am a supporter of Senator Cruz.
So you declare that anyone who disagrees that we should just “go along” with Ted Cruz’s staff (as you demand) no matter what they want to do must be “bad” ? All must be wishy-washy, as you demand?
Well, I have been in Texas over 3 decades, and I already have supported Ted Cruz more than you did, period. And I still do. But I am not naive like you.
And I have read a lot of Reagan. And ... oops .. I was alive during all his rise to the Presidency starting in the 50’s, and I paid attention.
My post is not inaccurate at all. President Reagan NEVER took the “Jerry Springer Theater” route of using disputable anecdotes to justify inalienable principles. Period. You are way out of line saying that he did.
A pleasant anecdote here and there in order to introduce a discussion is a normal thing for great orators, and of course everyone knows that all great speakers do that, including President Reagan. But President Reagan NEVER “polled” for “stories” so he could descend into a liberal THEATER in which “the best story wins.”
You are way out of line besmirching good conservatives in this thread— and wrong — and are counterproductive to the advancement of conservative principles in your (probably unintentional) advocacy of a conventional left wing approach to “democracy” via “Jerry Springer Theater” — we live in a Free Republic!
