Cruz is adamant that he doesn’t want to be on any Court. He says he wants to be “a policy maker, not a policy interpreter.” Which is just as well, he hasn’t demonstrated principles in his tactics during this race.

With all his brilliance, surely he could spend his time telling the truth about himself and his plans, but evidently decided that would win his race as well as lying and tearing down the Lt. Governor without a single concrete example.

Wait, you did give us one example, didn’t you? You tell us that Dewhurst has @200 million, reverting to reverse-class warfare.

You’re knocking a man who has his time to serve Texas and the US after serving in the Air Force and the CIA and founding a successful business that survived in the energy business in the ‘80’s.

I don’t think that having $200 million is bad at all; I just don’t think it’s enough of a reason to send someone to the U.S. Senate. You, on the other hand, seem to think that being smart enough to be admitted to Princeton University and Harvard Law School is somehow a bad thing, presumably because a lot of liberals attend those schools; but once we establish that Ted Cruz is a conservative (and there is no doubt about that fact), all that Cruz’s schooling says about him is that he is smart and didn’t let any of that Ivy League liberalism rub off on him.

As for Dewhurst’s milqutoast moderate-to-conservative ideology, I don’t think that it is truly necessary to go into detail, but since you insist, here are a few links that prove where Dewhurst stands in the ideologica spectrum:
