The Left is already after him, even as his supporters prepare a super PAC to fuel his presidential bid.
I’m glad he seems to be running. But as much as I still like Ted “Abolish the IRS” Cruz, I do wish he’d back off on abortion and gay-marriage:
“…we should continue to defend life and…we should continue to defend traditional marriage.”
Oh, well, Ted’s doing what he thinks is best, I’m sure. Even as his closest Republican competitor Rand Paul sees it differently: “I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues…[We have] to find a place for young people and others who don’t want to be festooned by those issues.”
Including some of us oldies who are tired of hearing about the opposition to social changes which can be restricted but aren’t going away and which opposition on can only work to elect more Leftists. Or so we think, anyhow.
Be that as it may, it’s going to fun to watch Ted (and Rand) run against Obamalot. It’s about time some one did.
UPDATE: From PJMedia’s Roger L. Simon writing about Rand:
“Historically, the Republican Party has been just what the public thinks it is, largely a bunch of risk-averse white men who are totally clueless at public relations, even though they are on the right (correct) side of almost every issue. Meanwhile, the liberal Democrats haven’t had a decent rational argument about anything for years, if they ever did. They ream young people, blacks and virtually every other ‘interest group’ that supports them with their policies and they still win most national elections. What a disgraceful group of losers that makes the Republicans.”
Surely Ted (or Rand) can/will do better than another Romney or McCain.
