Cruz is the GOP's version of Barack Obama.
Unlike Winston Churchill (the man who spotted real evil)...
Obama does not have a tenth of his intelligence. You do yourself a major disservice throwing out these ad hominem remarks.
"Unlike Winston Churchill (the man who spotted real evil), Cruz seems not to grasp that the distinguishing feature of a vibrant democracy is the toleration of and respect for political opponents (not to mention political allies). In his world, opponents are not simply wrong, but morally defective or enablers of evil."
This is not about intelligence. It's about narcissism, and these two are supremely self-absorbed self-promoters.
Weren't you decrying outrageous comparisons yesterday?
You see no similarities in Cruz and Obama? Even Obama hasn't compared Republicans to Nazi enablers.
Cruz’s gab-fest was the end game, a way of hoisting himself above fellow gadfly Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), of attacking fellow Republicans who have the temerity to demand a legislative purpose not a chest-thumping exercise and of making sure he commands the most ardent troops on the right pining for someone to express their burning resentment and paranoia...The depth of his narcissism and the crassness of his politics became evident...In his air of moral superiority...This is an ambitious man...Cruz knows that only by appealing to his base’s basest emotions — anger, paranoia, resentment, radical fervor — will he elevate himself...Cruz does not persuade; he incites. The people who thought him swell on Tuesday are enraptured now, mistaking a self-serving and self-made ordeal for real political courage...I can’t think of a man less Reaganesque in approach and style...Cruz is fueled by unbridled hubris and seems perpetually angry, inducing people who agree with him to dislike him.
I don't know who Jennifer Rubin is watching, but the guy I have been watching is articulate, reasonable, informed and compelling. It seems to me Jennifer and others (Krauthammer, for example) are overly worried about their influence within the GOP. They doth protest too much.
No... what I see is you continue to attack a good, reliable CONSERVATIVE senator who is fighting to save our country from a bill you clearly want implemented .... no matter how much damage will be done to the country and every day Americans cannot afford. That is what I see. . So I applaud and respect the senators fighting fir our country... putting country ahead of self.
A selection of my favorite quotes in a veritable smorgasbord of such comments.
Is it any wonder Sinkspur chose this piece from, as Andy58-in-nh notes, the Washington Posts' house "Conservative"? It is a litany of personal attacks, ad hominem arguments, mudslinging, and half truths. It suits his style perfectly.
If you think Ted Cruz is putting country ahead of his own selfish interests, you know nothing of narcissistic personalities.

You use every post lately to attack me. In fact, in every post attacking me you accuse me of attacking somebody else.
And you fail to see the irony.

I shall endeavor to educate you on the difference between me and thee.
Here are some of your typical posts.
Cruz is a balless wonder...Cruz has been staging nothing but a fund-raising stunt...Ted's a prima donna...an arrogant self-promoter like Cruz... his arrogance and abrasive personality...Cruz and Obama share one trait: narcissism.
Those are merely a few of yours I found referring to Senator Cruz. I found similar ones about Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, and Rapunzel, but chose to use only those having to do with Senator Cruz because there are so many of them, they are so very easy to find, and they capture your style with such clarity. Note how they are all personal attacks, vituperation directed at the individual rather than his ideas.
Thus I can say without fear of contradiction: Is it any wonder Sinkspur chose this piece from, as Andy58-in-nh notes, the Washington Posts' house "Conservative"? It is a litany of personal attacks, ad hominem arguments, mudslinging, and half truths. It suits his style perfectly.
I do NOT attack you personally. I do attack the way you post because it consist of little more than "personal attacks, ad hominem arguments, mudslinging, and half truths". I find it personally offensive, feel it contributes nothing of value to the Forum, and, in fact, is far below the customary standards here while lowering its overall quality.
That is not a "personal attack". It's a fact.
I've got a deal that ought to make you happy.
I ignore you.
You ignore me.
You may not uphold your end of that deal, but I will have no trouble upholding mine.
