W never fought back against his attackers. That’s how he ended his second term with a 27% approval rating, the lowest since Nixon. Ted Cruz is wise to defend his character and honor. Back in the day, they did it at dawn with pistols at twenty paces because honor meant more then than it does in our present Age of the Wimp.

Ditto. Bush didn’t fight against his detractors, Mittens didn’t fight back . . . and you see where it got them. But Cruz is sharp as a tack and can profit from the (bad) example of others — unlike the GOPe, it seems.
CRUZ to the White House!
W's weakness destroyed conservatism and the GOP and empowered the liberal movement beyond belief. That guy and his p_ssy "take the high road" schtick was disastrous.
