>>Assuming the author of this is entirely serious.... <<

And I’ll assume that you read the rest of the pieces you’ve posted with the same close attention to detail....and skip them.

>>The delicious part is that 1) Liberals and RINOs won’t quite get it...<<

If you’ve read the comments both here and after the article you’ll see that a lot of conservatives didn’t quite get it either.

I’m not sure if that means it was a poor attempt at parody, or if the Obama administration’s incessant illegal actions have short-circuited a lot of people’s b.s. detectors.

>>I can’t believe it took 11 posts to figure that out. /s<<

Yes, well you have to figure that 50% of commenters don’t bother reading the article before commenting, so maybe 5 posts or so?

I agree with the author of the article that he likes the way Rand Paul handled the press. (Note that you have to read the article with your sarcasm gene turned on to know what I mean by that, however.)

Something unusual happened after Paul told her to ask Wasserman-Schultz about aborting a 7 pound baby. She was actually asked and she gave the standard Progressive response....between a woman and her doctor, period.

Following which CNN’s Wolf Blitzer actually gave Paul a full minute or so to elaborate and explain the issue while pointing out that the apparent Democrat position is that, yes, it’s fine to abort a full-term baby. A whole lot of people who are used to voting Democrat need to hear that position defended, because it’s indefensible and the attempt to defend it will influence their vote.

If you’re going to take on the media, you’re going to break some china, and some of it will be your own, but not nearly all of it.

Politicians are a class. The class characteristics are lying, deception, money grubbing, a high degree of vice addiction above and beyond the norm and an amazing lack of principles. etc. Be skeptical towards their words is all that I said. Cruz says all the good things yet what has he produced? I’d vote for him against Hillary.

absurd over-generalization. Jeff Sessions is a politician. He is none of those things. Same with Cruz. That's like saying all cops and all lawyers are bad.

Your original post was about Cruz who is a politician and a fine decent American.

I don’t remember saying Cruz was fine and decent. However, I’m not aware of any allegations to the contrary. People are so fanatic that they construe any cautionary statement as advocating one hate and reject Cruz. I never said to hate and reject him. I do say be cautious of any politician. Politicians as a general rule are notoriously disassembling. I am not aware of any thing Cruz has done but give fine speeches. I said NOT AWARE!

Rand Paul needs to give ‘em hell and be proud about it and tell ‘em to bring it on. The problem people have with the media is after the first few punches they apologize

DON’T APOLOGIZE TO THE STINKING MEDIA. PERIOD. KEEP FIGHTING THEM. HOLD YOUR POSITION AND ATTACK. DON’T DON’T APOLOGIZE.

DON’T APOLOGIZE.

Agreed, Rs need to realize the media is their enemy. Maybe more their enemy than the Ds actually. They need to be looked at as an obstacle, a mine field, not as a neutral party or even a tool.
