To: The Citizen Soldier

GREAT POST!

I wish that my own turning away from Ted Cruz was so moving a story. For me it was a simple thing actually... Ted Cruz and his wife and campaign dunned me, begged me, harassed me for donations EVERY SINGLE DAY. Donald Trump did not.

That spoke volumes to me as I’ve never been wealthy. I’ve lived from paycheck to paycheck most of my life. Donald Trump’s positions and policies make sense to me. They are well thought out and can work. Ted Cruz’s just appears to be more of the same that we have seen for several decades now. Only wrapped up in rhetoric about the Constitution and ‘conservatism’.

However Ted Cruz is a Lawyer and I have had the unfortunate need of a lawyer before. I overheard him once say that all Lawyers are ‘hired guns’ and work for their clients needs and desires despite their own personal ideals. To me that smacked of flexible ethics and only one thing mattered... the almighty dollar.

And that is now what I recognize in Ted Cruz. He is a Lawyer/Politician and he will do or say anything to get those dollars. Even sell out his ethics and ideals it appears.

Does the little red bar and the top of FR bother you too?
