This is exactly what endears him to the 'Baggers. He's this year's version of Palin, Bachmann, Cain, Perry, Santorum ..........

But with Cruz, it's just an act.

Princeton and Harvard.

He wears a Princeton ring. Apparently it is considered sort of declasse' for an Ivy Leaque graduate to wear a school ring in front of associates...sort of like having your College Diploma hanging up at work (that is ok if you are a M.D. or Dentist).

I guess I better take down my Harvard diploma right now.....

A self aggrandizing act of mental masturbation. Cruz went on Rush Limburger's show for a half hour of high fiving reach arounds afterwards.

Poor squish.

The entire Cruz filibuster episode illustrates the futility and lunacy of the anti-health reform movement. (And, I call it that, because the only alternative I've seen bears an eerie resemblance to the existing PPACA.)

Call McCain "squishy" all you want........he's right. Sometimes, you back away from a battle and live to fight another day. Otherwise, you just die banging your head against the wall.
