Actually, I am just about to crawl in a hole and avoid all politics, because I think ALL politicians (including Cruz, Paul, etc.) are in it for their own self financial reward. Call me a Cynic, but after years of trying to believe in some of them and being disappointed time and time again, I suspect ALL of them. I firmly believe that ALL politicians are in it for themself and for the most part are outright liars (Kind of like our President). Check out the rewards they get from lobbyists and the pork they ALL (Including Cruz, Paul and Rubio) send back to thier States and Districts if you doubt me.
Never fall in love with a politician. They will break your heart every time.
(my favorite quote from the late Lee Rodgers)
