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.
One of the most hypocritical articles I have ever read. In one paragraph, he mentions his grandfather, who wouldn’t recognize today’s Republican party because of all the times they have run us right up to the fiscal cliff without giving the opposition any credit, and goes on to negatively compare Ted Cruz to Joseph McCarthy as an embarrassment to the GOP. Does this present day Taft hate the Republicans just as much as the Tea Party? The Taft family legacy now has about as much impact in Ohio as the Gore family legacy has in Tennessee.
Amen.
