Ted Cruz: taking money out of politics is just like burning books
by David Atkins
So Democrats today are making a largely symbolic push to create a constitutional amendment to limit money in politics. It's a worthy thing to do when there isn't not much else than can get done legislatively.
If Republicans were smart, they'd ignore it and leave well enough alone. They aren't smart.
Ted Cruz' reaction:
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, predicted the Democrats' amendment would allow critics to use the Constitution to ban books and films.
"Ray Bradbury would be astonished because we are seeing 'Fahrenheit 451' Democrats today," Cruz said, invoking the novel about book burning.
That's the CPAC straw poll winner, ladies and gentlemen. Let's keep him talking as loudly as possible.
