Giving Cruz His Due
ABX:
--- Quote ---Liberals are passionate in their scorn for him — which tells you how worried they are.
By John Fund
A spat has broken out over whether the media demonstrated liberal bias in their coverage of Senator Ted Cruz’s marathon anti-Obamacare speech. Conservatives are contrasting the heckling and slurs leveled against Cruz with the overwhelmingly positive reaction won by his fellow Texan Wendy Davis for her ultimately unsuccessful filibuster of a bill in the Texas state senate restricting abortions performed after 20 weeks.
Liberals who reject the bias charge make two main points. First, they say, the most negative commentary against Cruz came from opinion writers, not news reporters.

It doesn't matter.
Davis lost and Cruz is going to lose. Results matter in life, in business, in politics. Either do, or don't. "Trying" without a path to success is a waste of time.

Of course. I'm too stupid to see what you and Cruz see clearly.
You are the mirror image of an Obama groupie.
