I think even Dr. Sowell agrees that the long term battle needs to be fought. It’s the picking a fight at a point and in a manner that harms the long term goal that is at issue. It’d be like conducting the Doolittle raids before Midway...when the planes wouldn’t even make it to Japan.

The approach is misguided and signals cowardice and weakness to the enemy.

Factor in how the approach is being implemented by members of the GOP-E in a very deceptive manner of voting for cloture and then voting against the bill, basically lying, and once the base gets a whiff of this chicanery, which they have, the GOP-E is toast.

This is the right battle at the right time.

Dr. Sowell was just plain wrong.

Thank you. My take as well. The GOPe has been and is being outed by the likes of Cruz. And this is just spinning up to cruising speed. The next few months are going to be very interesting, indeed.
