That is a cheap shot, with ethnically demeaning sub-tones (heavy-lidded eyes), one that is self-serving as well. And, to equate Ted Cruz with McCarthy is beyond the pale. One is an erudite exemplar of leadership in public service, the other was a not, yet he was willing to expose private school communists when no one else would because of the good old boy network. You can’t ride on the coattails of memory Mr. Taft.
“Throughout my family’s more than 170-year legacy of public service, Republicans have represented the voice of fiscal conservatism. Republicans have been the adults in the room. Yet somehow the current generation of party activists has managed to do what no previous Republicans have been able to do — position the Democratic Party as the agents of fiscal responsibility.”
Just what part of fiscal conservatism does this inbred dependent of the “great” Taft family fail to recognize? Most of us know something about the offspring of the rich and famous as well a bloodlines among livestock that disappoint, and I have experienced some of it personally.It was clearly obvious with both the Ford and Mott Foundations in the seventies when I had to deal with both as grantee. Name another and recognize another ruined family name. Of course, like the great New York Times family, a clearly troubled one if ever there was one, they still circle the wagons,in a fashion. Today their wagons are Yachts that they can view along the Hudson River from their penthouses. I could write more, and call some names, but I’m bored with it. The whole celebrity game is nothing more than just a bunch of misfits trying, and failing, to make something of their useless lives.
