I mentioned that your guy did some good stuff

Very faithful of you to point some of them out.

Well hopefully we will find out what sort of legislator he (Cruz) will be!

I like the Tea Party types better than the "incumbent" types.

I'm for some "Tea Party types" and not for others. For instance, I am working hard to get Dr. Donna Campbell elected as my State Senator for District 25, to replace the RINO, Wentworth. Even if your Rice professor thinks Jeffrey is conservative.

In Liberty and Tyranny, when he was talking about Obama's "change," Mark Levin wrote something that I wish he would review in light of the way that Ted Cruz has chosen to campaign:

"The Conservative believes, as Burke and the Founders did, that prudence must be exercised in assessing change. Prudence is the highest virtue for it is judgment drawn on wisdom. The proposed change should be informed by the experience, knowledge, and traditions of society, tailored for a specific purpose, and accomplished through a constitutional construct that ensures thoughtful deliberation by the community. Change unconstrained by prudence produces unpredictable consequences, threatening ordered liberty with chaos and ultimately despotism, and placing at risk the very principles the Conservative holds dear."
Levin, Mark R. (2009-03-19). Liberty and Tyranny (p. 14). Simon & Schuster, Inc.. Kindle Edition.

The principles of the Conservative are revealed by his decisions and how he reaches his conclusions much more than the end result. Unlike Dr. Campbell and Governor Palin, Cruz chose to destroy, rather than build up.
