CRUZ TO VICTORY OR GET BUSHED !

[VanDeKoik]

Cruz.

This is about fundamentally changing course back to constitutional government, not finding someone on the right to better manage the bloat.

“Barack Obama has already given us repeated demonstrations of what a mess a freshman senator with rhetoric can make in the White House.”

This is a false argument. Obama’s failure as President has little to do with his lack of experience. It has MUCH more to do with his big-government, leftist world view. If he were a 20 year Senator with that world view, his Presidency would still have failed because of his approach to governing and how he sees the world.

Judge candidates on their stances on issues, their approach to governing in general and how they’d apply that approach to the various issues. What they look like, how old they are and which sexual organs they possess are irrelevant.

Thomas Sowell: Who’s the Right Man for Conservatives in 2016?

Thomas Sowell?

[Resettozero]

Haven’t seen Sowell equivocate like this often. What is his purpose in writing this article?

[TWhiteBear]

‘Former Florida governor Jeb Bush is today’s mushy moderate candidate who may well follow in the footsteps of a whole string of similar losers, from Mitt Romney and John McCain in recent elections, all the way back to Thomas E. Dewey, who managed to lose even in an election where three different Democrats were on the ballot, fragmenting that party’s vote. ‘

I always get a new insight from Dr. Sowell. He brings out relevant facts and puts them in his unique perspective.
The Dewey Debacle is an excellent illustration of the lack of success of mushy moderates.

It seems Thomas Sowell has recently been drifting leftward. Note this FR thread from last year:

Shame on Sowell for writing this.

Has a goofy thesis that being a Governor is good work, US Senator is a bum.

Note to Sowell: The two jobs are different.

Also appears to believe that "accomplishments" i.e., laws, are what we should measure politicians with.

I believe the opposite is needed; a candidate should be judged on his restraint and his ability to rescind all of the million laws we already have.

That would mean applying the Constitution, and doing little else, a la Coolidge.

The reason the conservatives lose all the time is that they always stick it to their own. They never praise them.

Can you imagine a Rat writing the same sort of article about other Rats? Neither can I.

Sowell writes great articles about leftists and issues, but when an election is coming he usually goes RINO like Ann Coulter.

We already know he detests Ted Cruz from when he wrote 3 anti-Cruz columns in a row last year. Despite Cruz being everything his writings would suggest we need.

I will vote for Cruz, or nobody at all.
