I have to side with those who think Sen. Cruz did something really stupid. I don't agree with those folk on a lot of other things about Sen. Cruz - and they know it - but on this point I am in complete agreement.
Not only is this a direct violation of the 11th Commandment, it's dwelling in the past and ignoring the future. Let's assume just for the sake of argument that his statement was true. So what? How does that help us craft a new message for today, tomorrow and, most importantly, the Nov. elections?
Sorry, but conservatives/tea partiers who bi*ch about the moderates trashing them have absolutely no excuse for turning around and trashing the moderates.
Here's the thing, when moderate republicans sh*t on conservative/tea party republicans and conservative/tea party republicans sh*t on moderates, all we end up with is a party that smells from stem to stern like sh*t. Is that any way to persuade the unpersuaded, the fence-sitters, and the low-info voters to agree with us and vote republican in November?
What's the campaign slogan going to be? Vote for us because our sh*t doesn't smell as bad as their sh*t?
Right now I'd take a Mitt Romney over a Ted Cruz, thank you very much.
