From the comments, many at FR are too dense to get the message and haven't a clue of the utility of saying a few nice words vs. spitting the truth 9there are many and varied truths in this case). The same ones are now condemning Cruz for his short statement because they have no sense of the politics he needs to employ to keep the message from getting overrun at every turn - twit mind give twit knee-jerk opinions with no sense of the dynamics. They claim to be idealists/realists only they don't have the reasoning power God gave a gnat's a$$. They are the reason we keep losing to the Dim destruction machine - utterly incapable of a cohesive stand.
There - I feel better.
