RE :”I don’t get Sowell’s argument. He says we should be focusing on things like Benghazi instead of defunding Obamacare, because defunding Obamacare “can’t” be done and it “distracts” from Obama’s scandals. But he says defunding it would be the right thing to do if we could do it. ......
We didn’t defeat the Soviet Union overnight either. ....
Whether or not it gets successfully defunded or not is beside the point. Let’s put it this way, if someone in Nazi Germany couldn’t realistically stop the gas chambers, wouldn’t it still be worth their time to stand up and protest it?”

I know, you are repeating Cruz's history analogy from his all night speech. You don't understand why everyone such as Sowell and Paul dont just accept this analogy one as the only one.

Well others will have different analogies to apply.

You mentioned defeating USSR. I recall when Hitler ordered Paulus’s army to stay in Stalingrad and fight to the end for victory. So Stalin captured that entire army, one of Germany's best and crippled Germany's forces to fight future battles. It was a disasterous tactics. It was a disaster.
So Hitler called them cowards and traitors for HIS failure and bad decisions.

, The point is There are many options in this fight but some say that since so many, especially those who demand this action themselves expect it to fail, that something else be tried instead.

If Cruz wins for us and gets Obama to defund O-care he earns my endless support, Winning is winning, But if the idea is just to lose to prove an abstract point then I am not impressed.

We can’t win, so let us run and hide under the table and send out the RINO’s to savage the conservatives and side with Democrats!

Awesome strategy being employed by the RINO’s.

Heck we won’t ever move the country back to the right, why fight it? We’ll just argue with the Democrats a little, just enough to appease our voters, and then we will surrender.

Because if we are on the democrats side, we can win.

And winning is so much more important than standing by principles and doing the right thing.

There is nothing abstract in proving your own partys leaders are actually on the same side as the Democrats.
