That’s not really fair. Folks have been bending over backwards trying to figure out what’s going on with Thomas Sowell and many are giving him the benefit of the doubt.
In this case, though, of Ted Cruz, it finally has to be honest. If it looks like Sowell is going after Cruz, and it gets repeated, and repeated again, then why is it wrong to acknowledge that Sowell has taken out after Senator Cruz.
It’s just a fact.
And, it’s also a fact that he’s calling for the GOP-E to be principled, but that he takes Cruz to task for being principled.
It’s a contradiction. And it’s so unusual coming from Thomas Sowell that folks are commenting on it.
I didn't read that. He criticized Cruz for his methods, not his principles.
That’s not really fair. Folks have been bending over backwards trying to figure out what’s going on with Thomas Sowell and many are giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Maybe what's going on with him is that he wants to win the Senate this year and the White House in 2016 and he doesn't think Cruz is helping accomplish that goal. That is worth considering.
Rather than you berate conservatives for their displeasure and criticism of Sowell, for your erroneous claim of a lack of civil discourse, why don’t you tell this thread where Sowell has made points that they should accept?
OK. What is wrong with this one?
Many Republicans wanted their party to fight the Obama administration before agreeing to raise the debt ceiling, in hopes of extracting at least some concession — on spending, on the Keystone pipeline or whatever. Unfortunately, the Republicans had no more chance of winning that fight than the stranded British troops had of winning a battle against Hitler's army. Whatever the Republicans threatened, President Obama could call their bluff. They would either have to back down or have a second government shutdown for which they would be blamed. Another shutdown could doom their chances of winning the Senate in the 2014 elections, and perhaps even cost them the House of Representatives. In a war, you do not fight battles that you are certain to lose, if only because you will need your troops to fight later in battles you can win.
