Giving Cruz His Due | National Review Online

He’s the man NYT loves to hate:

The editorial board of the New York Times has dismissed Ted Cruz as “the public face of the aimless and self-destructive Tea Party strategy to stop health-care reform.” In reality, his speech may have reignited intense opposition to a law many conservatives had fatalistically accepted as unstoppable [writes John Fund]. It’s too soon to know if Cruz’s speech will have a lasting impact, but the over-the-top criticism by some liberals has revealed just how worried they are about both Cruz’s potential and Obamacare’s future.

But Carville the pragmatist, neither loving nor hating, shows respect:

Cruz “is the most talented and fearless Republican politician I’ve seen in the last 30 years,” Democratic strategist James Carville told ABC News in May. “He is going to be something to watch.”

Hmmmm.

  1. I would trust James Carville way before trusting the New York Times, because, as a Democrat political strategist, Cavelle’s instincts are good.

  2. A Thank you and a check to Cruz will be a welcome rebuke to the Left who have found another conservative to vilify — their hate tells you whom we should support.
