Ok, So you are a single issue person, specifically Abortion. I can understand that. Consider, the best way to fix that problem is with the judiciary make up. With the USSC possibly having up to 5 new Judges next term an objective measure would be the abortion stance of the proposed judge list the candidates have proposed.
From what I understand Trump has listed 3, all pro-life conservatives. And my “Cruz is a fake” is in reference to his positions - his kinetics and tells are hes not honest on them but acting. That behavior is consistent with other Ivy League trained lawyers I have dealt with, They are very good at saying what the jury wants to hear and sounding sincere but do not believe a word they are saying.
BTW SilentGypsy says you are a good guy.
It’s not that I’m a single issue voter. Think of it more as a threshold issue. I care about trade, jobs, US sovereignty, etc. I care more about liberty, the first and foremost of which is the inherent right to life enjoyed by every person made in God’s image, at every stage of their existence. A person who doesn’t grasp that principle is going to prove unstable when their moral system is stress-tested, no matter what else they may profess.
I realize you’ve come to an adverse conclusion regarding Cruz, and all I can say to that is I’m sure you are being true to your own background and experience. I’ve made it a life principle to not try and be a mind-reader. Sure, I form my own private opinion about a person’s credibility, but I can’t bring myself to make an open charge of deliberate deception unless I have hardcore smoking gun evidence that the person did not believe what they were saying when they said it, like Hillary’s email to Chelsea about Benghazi, a direct and provable contradiction of her public statements. Does this open me up to an occasional deception? Possibly. But it’s also made it a lot easier for me to avoiding accidental infractions of the Ninth Commandment, which has a higher priority with me. It’s a choice people have to make on their own.
And thanks for the kind words, SG.
Peace,
SR
