No problem. Sorry if I misread. I’m kinda glad it was attempted sarcasm. It was incoherent gobbledgook, and I was initially going to write a post about the writing. Good to see different.

He didn’t see the need to lie like you have.


Probably an “inadvertent omission”, (where have we heard that before) on the Munchkins part..

I read it. It was per the usual, for him. Reich is a lefty. Of course, they want to face Cruz. He may be the one candidate that can guarantee them a win.

But rather than make some snide comment about Cruz- because I, too, am sick of the vitriol- I merely addressed who Reich is; indicating that I don’t place any credibility in anything he says.

I hate to say it (because I promised myself- that for today, at least, I wouldn’t), but it went right over your head, I guess. He was insulting you. But you didn’t get that because y’all are so confrontational & so aggressive, you’re proud that people see you that way. (shrug) Whatever.

I’d say that’s a pretty good choice of words....

ran·cor

/ˈraNGkər/

noun

noun: rancour; plural noun: rancours; noun: rancor; plural noun: rancors

bitterness or resentfulness, especially when long-standing.
“he spoke without rancor”

synonyms: bitterness, spite, hate, hatred, resentment, malice, ill will, malevolence, animosity, antipathy, enmity, hostility, acrimony, venom, vitriol

“Partisans for Cruz and Trump have created much rancor here on Free Republic.”

Yet Trump is losing to Bernie and Clinton in the polls due to his horrible negatives with independents. Most other candidates including Cruz are ahead of the 2 rats.

Reich’s feeling that Cruz is far worse from his commie POV is spot on and is the reason to vote for Cruz. Trump has no core other than what benefits Trump. The man is a total narcissist and is very much like Obama in that. His facial expressions remind one of Mussolini.

Cruz is a fierce ideologue: He denies the existence of man-made climate change, rejects same-sex marriage, wants to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, believes the 2nd amendment guarantees everyone a right to guns, doesn't believe in a constitutional divide between church and state, favors the death penalty, opposes international agreements, embraces a confrontational foreign policy, rejects immigration reform, demands the repeal of "every blessed word of Obamacare," and takes a strict "originalist" view of the meaning of the Constitution.

Would that it were. Some of what Reich says about Cruz just isn't true. Some of it is just bizarre. Or lazily conceived and written. I'm pretty sure Cruz doesn't oppose all international agreements or reject immigration reform as Cruz understands it (and maybe even as Reich understands it) or think that he can abolish the IRS or oppose all division between church and state.

Surprising that an educated that an educated person would never have seen an image of a person who helped start WW2, see the Italian invasion of Ethiopia.

“Robert Reich is an advocate and cheerleader for the 0bama policies that keep us in a depression.”

Of course Reich the lib will say he’s pro-Cruz. They don’t want to run against Trump and lose. They can win against Cruz.

I really didn’t take much interest in that period in high school or college. Obviously, it didn’t make enough of an impression on me or I would have remembered it.

Someone was talking about these old accounts yesterday. You certainly have an interesting posting history.

Both men would be disasters for America, but Cruz would be the larger disaster.

What do you think?

Vote Cruz!
