Jenny Granholm signed Michigan's concealed carry into law. In front of pro gun crowds she called it her proudest moment. In front of anti gun crowds it became a shameful thing that republicans forced her to do.
Rick Snyder went further on RTW than walker and got credit for it. The truth was that Snyder has been very union friendly and there were concerns that he wouldn't sign it. Fortunately it passed by a veto proof majority and it came in the middle of a feud between Snyder and the unions.
Governors can say anything they want because they don't have a solid record. Ted Cruz on the other hand doesn't get that kind of cover and fortunately isn't trying to tell people what they want to hear for the sake of political expediency. I'd rather vote for a man who honestly tells me a few things I don't want to hear than a man who tells me exactly what I want to hear just to get elected.
When it comes to the full package, Cruz is the best all around deal for conservatives despite a couple of dings. No one else is going to go after the IRS and other agencies as aggressively as he will. I believe he's the only one who will ask his AG pick to take up and pursue the Fast and furious, IRS targeting, and Benghazi investigations.
Reagan did things I didn't love but had I been old enough, he would have gotten my vote over Bush, Anderson, Baker, Connally, Crane, Dole, Stassen, Pressler, or Weicker.
