There is no pragmatism in the face of the country’s destruction.
And Reagan was an actor who spent a lot of time in Hollyweird. One can never tell.
Oh, for heaven’s sake, really? We’re going to start giving the side eye to Ted Cruz because of where his wife works?
As for him graduating from Harvard, it seems pretty evident he took advantage of what it had to offer while rejecting what he couldn’t use.
Two things make me nervous about CruzYea he would be more credible if he only had a GED and she was a geeter at Walmart< /sarcasm >1) Harvard Law grad
2) Wife is a Managing Director @ Goldman Sachs
OH yea, they might even drive Volvos.
Maybe you should actually read Dr. Sowells article.
Cruz recognizes that if he wants to make real changes, he needs more colleagues who owe their seats to the people, not to the establishment, GOP or otherwise.
He expressed his. Now we're expressing ours. What's the problem?
I respect Dr. Sowell’s opinion very much. He has always been a steady conservative. I have not reached a conclusion on this piece. Being in the Daily Caller I can promise you each of Sowell’s quotes are taken out of context.
My own opinion. I don’t care if Cruz is grandstanding. That’s what the country needs. If calling out this lawless bastard boy king is grandstanding so be it. Obama ignores the constitution and breaks the law on a daily basis. the house and senate both ignore the constitution. If Cruz calling the congress out as the liars they are is grandstanding so be it.
However, I vehemently disagree with Sowell that Cruz is an Obama in the respect that a junior rep. is making noise for the sake of making noise to gain the white house. Obama’s cry from day one is “I’m black, I’m Kenyan, Vote for me. Melanin uber alles.”
Sorry. I read the wrong article.
FTFY
Who stopped anyone from expressing an opinion?
The daily caller is doing hit pieces on tea party. Just read another hit on a different tea party candidate that Sarah endorsed. Who owns and runs it?
I agree, He is now THom Ass-Sowell
Just another Leftist Media website I guess
"Leaders" that suppress the truth are not men of truth and therefore they are not fit, by any measure, to be our "Leaders." They must be exposed and removed.
Exodus 21
Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness;
Which polls are showing that "liberal attacks are sticking" to Ted Cruz? Thanks.
Dr. Sowell, like so many conservative intellectuals, has accepted the idea that opposition to the RINO credo of perpetual losses, is merely a foolish exercise in a shameful, egocentric behavior.
The concept of a principled warrior for Liberty to Dr. Sowell and other Republican Intellectuals, vanished as a lost cause long, long ago.
They define themselves as being grounded in the practical reality of always losing to the Federal Politicians in both political parties who find no limit to the expansion of the US Federal Government.
Thus, any challenge to their basic assumption of continuous financial and political Conservative failure must be put down as soon as possible.
Senator Cruz understands the value of attacking the enemy at multiple points of weakness.
RINO politicians, consultants, strategists, advisors, donors, volunteers, supporters and RINO voters do not understand this, as they tend to focus on one or two points of attack for the entire election campaign.
In this manner, the RINOs ignore the day to day fluctuations of opponent revealed weaknesses, and plod on to their usual, and very comforting defeat.
For example, in 2008 Loser Emeritus Wacko Birds McCain publicly admonished those who questioned the validity of then Senator Obamas sealed birth certificate, thus assuring McCain of another very successful RINO-Style Defeat.
Another example is when RINO Speaker Boehner just last week chose to cave in to his overriding personal phobia of being bad-mouthed by the Left Stream Media, and took off the House calendar the necessary House Debate on the size of the National Poverty Debt Limit, thus guaranteeing the Conservative Democrat and Republican voters will from then on know that RINOs really stand for unlimited Federal Spending.
BTW, notice how many times RINO Rove says: Republicans should let that go and concentrate on this one point.
Senators Cruz, Lee and sometimes Rand Paul are wise enough to attack on many fronts, and the double down whenever a weakness is detected.
RINOs have refused to learn that the first rule in Federal Politics is to attack, Attack, ATTACK!
The second rule in Federal Politics is to savagely attack ALL weaknesses as they are revealed.
The third rule of Federal Politics is to accept, without question, that ALL FEDERAL POLITICS IS NATIONAL.
Newt, for a brief moment in time, used that wisdom to construct his very successful National Contract with America.
Newts wisdom soon quickly rejected by the rank and file RINO failure leadership.
No political Wing of any political party has ever enjoyed losing as much as the now obsolete, failed RINO Wing of the Republican Party.
House Member elected, House Sobber Boehner even lends a Soap Opera touch to many RINO cave in losses by sobbing frequently.
Democrats and all RINOs still believe the Tipsy ONeal failed con slogan which states: All politics is local.
Democrats and RINOs have used this failed slogan with great success to expand the number of non-working, non-taxpayers on their ballooning Welfare Plantation, paid for by borrowing to increase the National Poverty Debt.
In summary, RINOs belong in the Museum of Failed Politicians, (MOFP), and not on the taxpayers payroll.
Make 2014 the year of the extinct Federal RINO!
