I'm a liberal but

A) Don't discredit a message via the medium. It's 2013. Social media is very important, and will only grow in importance

B) the substance of the tweet was not vapid; this wasn't some red meat zinger that riled up the dumber folks in the base ala Palin Style. Obviously foreign affairs requires a different set of standards, but it does expose a gulf in consistency.

Hey, Obama did just as many background checks on the Syrian rebels as Reagan did on the Mujahadeen he su[pported and the Iranians he sold weapons to.

Cruz is probably just too busy being a twit to learn much history.

Wait, did Reagan propose background checks on American citizens who want to buy guns?

Clearly, this tweet is way over your head.

Reagan respected the second Amendment unlike Obama. In Obama's world Americans are the enemy.

Ah conservatives. Where all of their political thought and reasoning can be expressed in 140 characters.

I guess anything longer and he would have been thought of as one of them filthy liberal educated folk.
