Sowell has always been pretty establishment. It's not surprising he has his doubts about Cruz. Same with Coulter.
Sowell ticked off a lot of Conservatives with Part I of his diatribe earlier in the week, and is trying to walk it back a bit. But for some weird reason, hes now advocating a party-first agenda while attacking Cruz for doing what weve all been demanding for years out of our elected leader. Seems very hypocritical to me.
What is happening now is the GOP elites like Coulter and Sowell are trying to pull the unruly conservative base back on the GOP plantation for the midterms.
The GOP leadership wanted the preemptive surrender on the budget and debt ceiling wrapped up quickly so they could start up the meaningless election season rhetoric.
I really don’t care about the rhetoric any more. The only thing that matters now is a articulate, consistent, and engaged opposition to the rampaging Dems. Cruz is the one doing that right now. Not Boehner. Not McConnell. That’s why he is so popular.
The GOP has been running around in circles scared since the kenyan won in 2012.
All the GOP leadership should have been fired after the beltway GOP wasted 2010-12 and Romney ran a terrible campaign. Pribus, McConnell, Boehner and all the useless consultants are to blame for the GOP non agenda and non engagement of the Dems.
Now we are getting more of the same proven loser tip toe strategy for 2014. Fire them all.
LOL!
Stupid elephant!
You know I hate even saying that, vet, because the other day I saw a video of an elephant that painted a picture using its trunk of an elephant in the wild. The painting was quite good.
This absolutely blew my mind.
Elephants are smart, GOP is not.
I hereby apologize to all elephants.
I saw it fail back when Newt Gingrich "shut down the government".
And Newt was a much better communicator of the virtues of conservatism than Ted.
If you think the American hoi polloi has become brighter in the last two decades....well...let's just say you are more optimistic than either Sowell or me.
