This isn't necessarily directed at you but it's an observation on how some people still see Cruz as a principled conservative. Through his actions during his campaign he has showed more and more that he isn't. When it comes down to it, conservative is just a label. That doesn't mean it is true or not.
Now, in my past I've battle lots of liberals online. They became so delusional that there is no debating with them but I think their continued delusions come from a failed ideology and agenda.
I much more enjoy posting at FreeRepublic because it is far more civil and I want to join in to help preserve our Constitution and our freedoms and liberties that his corrupt government continues to try to destroy.
In my dealings with liberals, labels mean everything to them and that's all they see. You just can break them of that bad habit. Putting so much faith in labels is wrong and I thought I'd never see it here till this primary come about.
Now that I've given my background, it just seems so many here are stuck on the label: "conservative" and that blinds them to question whether Cruz is conservative or not. What Cruz is doing, along with the corrupt GOP establishment, is neither principled nor conservative. The ends justify the means is far from that too. He is also a life-long government employee and has very little experience as a Senator.
This is NOT necessarily directed at you but it is something I've noticed on how people can get stuck on labels and it blinds them to question whether it is true or not. As a kid that came from a large Hispanic American family, I learned to question everything.
That's why I questioned as a kid why so many were against Reagan. Well, I discovered the truth and I have been a Reagan Constitutional Conservative ever since. We have to question everything, even the things we like and support and can't allow ourselves to get stuck on labels.
As a bonus, I'm going to add a FR link to FenwickBabbitt's post/thread that will make any conservative more comfortable about Donald Trump as he points out Trump's conservative views go a long way's back.
