re: Thomas Sowell is no fan of Ted Cruz

Unfortunately to acquire political power you have to seek political power. And I have distrust for all who seek political power. The methods people use to seek power are not all the same. Criticizing people for the methods they use is not only acceptable, but desirable in my opinion. As such, I appreciate Sowell's addressing the approach Cruz is taking to acquire political power, and I concur with his observation that Cruz may not be doing the cause as much good as he is doing himself.

Truly the beginning of the end of the modern Republican party was their failure to pass term limits with the House republican take over in the mid 90's and the Gringrich's contract with America...
Gingrich was the leading smart "conservative" and look how quickly he was corrupted pursuing the political power he railed against.

Term limits is the antedote to well meaning politicos seeking power... with it there would likely be no need for a "tea party" to fight the tyranny of the political establishment class.
