The Hollow Man (Rush Limbaugh, Cruz & Conservatism)

For 26 years, Rush Lim­baugh has insisted that con­ser­v­a­tive val­ues, clearly and pas­sion­ately artic­u­lated, will win every time. By con­ser­v­a­tive val­ues Rush meant: God, coun­try, fam­ily, com­mu­nity, lib­erty, indi­vid­u­al­ism, per­sonal respon­si­bil­ity, lim­ited gov­ern­ment, and free mar­kets. Rea­gan was the model, and the promise: it had hap­pened once, and could hap­pen again.

Eas­ier said than done.

Interesting perspective.

[mabelkitty]

Wow.
That was very good. And very true.

Politics is like a box of chocolate. No matter how beautiful the finely sculptured outer chocolate shell, you never know what kind of nut you will find in the mushy middle.

The dif­fer­ence between Ted Cruz and Don­ald Trump is that Ted Cruz looks out at a crowd and sees him­self, while Trump looks into a mir­ror and sees the crowd.

I love this, excellent writer.

[Fiddlstix]

LOL!

[tennmountainman]

Very good article. Thanks for finding and posting.

[stratboy]

I agree. Excellent article.

What a load of crap this is...

The problem is that Cruz got greedy. This is precisely why Sarah Palin got pissed at him.

He had a perfectly good Senate seat, a bird's eye view of stopping the Obama agenda and in some ways, he did stop some key parts of it.

But he threw it all away for a futile run at President, in which he is not eligible for.

  I never liked Ted Cruz

Stopped right there. Hollow analysis from a hollow author.

[Flycatcher]

Well written.

Politics is like a box of chocolate. Fat people run out first. ;-)

[stratboy]

Of course it is, he dared to criticize Occupy Ted.

A very articulate treatment of a problem I’m having myself. I thought this campaign would be about, “Hope for Cruz and hold your nose if you have to vote for Trump”, but it’s turned out to be the other way around. I’ll keep my promise, though, because the alternative is a criminal or a communist. But this isn’t turning out at all as I thought.

This is the end. What has con­ser­vatism come to, when its lead­ing advo­cate on the cam­paign trail, after decades of cor­ro­sive lib­er­al­ism, and seven years of a malev­o­lent, America-hating nihilist in the White House, blames a can­di­date from his own party and, worse, that candidate’s sup­port­ers, for the sorry state of the Repub­lic and the vicious­ness of its polit­i­cal dis­course?

The end. of cruise.

He never was what he seemed to be. Reminds me of rubio.

[digger48]

I just love your sense of humor

[wiseprince]

Hahahahah iI thought I was the only one who caught Cruz complaining about Trump’s tariff threat and said the solution was his tax on imports :-D . what a phony

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Did you read the rest of it immediately afterwards?

[TTFlyer]

Fantastic article and right on the money.

[Califreak]

That was a good read.

Spot on.
