| Ted Cruz, the Senator from the Republic of Texas |
The problem with fellas like Cruz is they scare you to death - first of all telling us what they see as the affairs of the day and second, with the absolute fear that somehow he might get elected. If so, I'm moving to Guam with the snakes.
Make no mistake, he is Joseph McCarty incarnate or as the cowboys would say, all hat and no horse. Every time I hear him open his yap to point out some problem and offer his tin-horn solution ......., well it reminds me of a fable:
"Long ago, the mice had a general council to consider what measures they could take to outwit their common enemy, the Cat. Some said this, and some said that; but at last a young mouse got up and said he had a proposal to make, which he thought would meet the case. "You will all agree," said he, "that our chief danger consists in the sly and treacherous manner in which the enemy approaches us. Now, if we could receive some signal of her approach, we could easily escape from her. I venture, therefore, to propose that a small bell be procured, and attached by a ribbon round the neck of the Cat. By this means we should always know when she was about, and could easily retire while she was in the neighborhood." This proposal met with general applause, until an old mouse got up and said: "That is all very well, but who is to bell the Cat?" The mice looked at one another and nobody spoke. Then the old mouse said:
"It is easy to propose impossible remedies."
