Thomas Sowell is a very smart man but I haven't seen Cruz do anything that seemed wrong to me.

Time will tell, but we have been burned before. Cautiously optimistic on Cruz.

I disagree with Sowell’s premise this time.

“Thomas Sowell is a very smart man...”
***********************************************************

It just proves that even smart men can be bought off and end up doing the GOPe’s bidding.

My opinion of Thomas Sowell has just plummeted.

The Republicans need every vote they can get in the Senate ...

WHY?

we have ENOUGH John McLame’s in the Senate! What good would it do to have MORE OF THEM!!?!?!?!

would 10 more John McLame’s stop a SINGLE Obama supreme court appointment?

would 10 more John McLame’s impeach Obama?

much MUCH M-U-C-H more likely... is that 10 more John McCain’s would push through AMNESTY for illegal aliens!

no thanks Thomas!

Sowell can’t be bought off.

That’s just silly.

This is his view and we should take it for that.

“Time will tell, but we have been burned before. “

Scott Brown was no surprise, but Rubio took the Tea Party types off guard. I disagree with Sowell. If something is too perfect (like Rubio seemed) then it’s too good to be true.

Sowell cannot be “bought off.” He’s richer than most in the GOP, has a reputation for NOT hanging out with any of these types, and I think it’s an unfair slur on the man to suggest as much. Is it not possible for someone to have a different opinion than you without being “bought off?”

I respect Sowell enough to grant him some consideration- but I am not sure I agree with him on this one.

I hope it is just a shot-across-the-bow to Cruz to be careful and NOT turn self-serving

Sowell is wrong to attack someone who is separating himself from a sinking ship.
SOMBODY HAS TO LEAD!

And our side wonders why we dont seem to get anywhere.

Too many people in our ranks trying to be too cute by half.

Guess it’s just more fun to write columns and bitch.

Mr. Sowell has been writing for a half century and has accomplished nothing relative to the left tide. I’ll throw in with Cruz here. He may well be able to stem the tide a bit.

To: right way right

Exactly! It’s relatively easy to write articles about our countries problems for years. It’s quite another to take a definitive stand against the establishment with almost nothing but the Constitution and probably millions of plain old American citizens on your side.

Thomas Sowell might be right 99% of the time, but he is way way way way off base on this one

If Sowell is using rhetoric such as “make political trouble”, he has gone to the left side of the equation.

Agree with Dr. Sowell most of the time, but in this area must disagree. Time will tell.

LOL! And everyone is saying that the GOP is going to kick butt in 2014 and 2016. LOL! The commies got this joint in the bag. Big time fascist police state coming. Better prepare. The freeloaders are about to find out that the slavery of communism/Socialism and “free stuff” really sucks.
