    The simple truth of it is that we live in a representative republic. Senators and members of the House are elected to represent the people that elected them. The people that elected Ted Cruz don't like Obamacare, so Ted Cruz is obligated to do everything he can to strike it down.

    He's only worthy of criticism if he, like most of the members of Congress, stopped representing his constituents and instead represented himself.

    Jefferson, who had lost in 1796, paid the editor of the Richmond Examiner to print anti-Federalist articles and to praise the efforts of Jefferson's Party. His supporters accused the incumbent president Adams of having a "hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."

    In response, a leaflet by Adams' team called Jefferson "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father."

    Sound familiar?
    But at least when they did it, they did it with class and a type of prestige you just don't get anymore these days.
    "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
