Wish I could believe this, but after the last election, I am not sure this holds true any longer.
I suspect Senator Cruz needs to watch his back (and front and both flanks). La Raza, the Democrats and the GOP-E are very busy right now, digging into his past to find something, anything to discredit him.
I like most of what I’ve heard from Cruz so far, and voted for him, but I just wish conservative politicians would just say, “I hold conservative positions because they are moral and just”. For example, the right to life, which is a moral issue. Also, limited government, because liberty is a moral good, having been bestowed upon us by our creator. And low taxation, because it is immoral to basically steal half of what someone earns.

“The moral justification of capitalism does not lie in the altruist claim that it represents the best way to achieve ‘the common good’. It is true that capitalism does – if that catch-phrase has any meaning – but this is merely a secondary consequence. The moral justification for capitalism lies in the fact that it is the only system consonant with man’s rational nature, that it protects man’s survival qua man, and that its ruling principle is: justice.”
-Ayn Rand
Word is out from obama. The media has to find a way to shut Cruz down. If they can’t dream up some dirty laundry, then they need to pretend he doesn’t exist. Give him the old cold shoulder. They know exactly what to do without being told.
