Wrong to provide a link to the CFR Report that Heidi Cruz worked on and endorsed?
This is the wrong thing to post on FR because we have already decided, as a group, that Ted Cruz is our candidate and we don't wish to entertain any information which contradicts our preconceptions about him?
Is that why?
I don't feel there is anything wrong with providing this information, which I did in the most neutral way possible (neutral / factual title, no editorializing).
It's a sad day when Freepers are supporting the idea that factual background on Conservative candidates is a bad thing to share. The idea of "hate facts", that is ideas or knowledge which while true are too scary to share, used to be confined to the left.
Still defensive.
Agreed Jack. I am still a Ted Cruz supporter since I see no alternative that is better across a broad set of issues (isn't that what we all have to come to at a point before we pull the levers?), but I certainly don't want to pull the covers over my head and be blind and deaf to reality.
I think most of us rightly criticize the left and gopE types for being blind & deaf to the reality of the candidates that they support, why would any of us want to do the same?
Personally I have been aware of Heidi Cruz's background since his Senate race, I've consciously chosen to not let that overshadow the many positive attributes that he has displayed to this point. The key word in that sentence is consciously, not blindly. Thank you for your thread.
