George W. versus the Tea Party (Laura Ingraham)

PoliZette ^ | October 21, 2015 | Laura Ingraham

[Pelham]

“To Rubio’s credit he did admit that he did not really understand the opposition to the reforms. He then changed it to seal the border first.”

Rubio had been the leader of the Florida legislature before he went bigtime in the US Senate.

In Florida he racked up a lengthy history of killing all efforts to control illegal immigration.

His Gang of Eight adventure wasn’t an anomaly, and he wasn’t naive. Preferring illegals over Americans is what the real Marco Rubio is all about. He’s not fit to be considered for President.

[Cold Heat]

I was not aware of that.

I thought his associations with the immigration reform was a DC thang......as they say.

Well that puts Rubio in the same basket as Bobby Jindal. Smooth talker, but all hat and no cattle.

[Cold Heat]

This is a perfect example of just how important a long term track record is for a president, the leader of a nation and of the party.

It’s why I have problems with outsiders not involved at all in policy or politics.

Just sayin....

[Pelham]

Normally I’d feel the same way. But this time around I’ll support Trump. One reason being that for a very long time I’ve believed that mass third world immigration is destroying America. And I think that Trump really intends to change that. No one else comes close. It may well be too late for California, where I am. But if this isn’t reversed the rest of you will go the way that we have.

[Psalm 144]

Ramos and Compean. Yes, by then we knew W was all flatulence. And at that, the best of that gang of carpetbagger illuminati.

Don’t let this thread fool you

97% of this forum toe sucked George Bush and Rove and Cheney including me even after 9-11

The only anti Bush stalwarts were a few Paleos and objectivists

And only Cheney merited the adulation bestowed btw imho

And only Cheney speaks out now in the right way

You could be zotted here for being too outspoken on Bush or his policies especially amnesty

Howlin ...sinspur...Dane....bayourod....prnd321....and many others...some still here pretending to be bona fide would run in packs and find a dissenter and hound them from the forum and then cackle in delight at their deering do in expelling yet another racist or bigot

That’s right ...opposing amnesty was the province of bigots and racists even though the stats were already in his immigrants legal or not voted and other not good data

I know this cause I was in their crosshairs

What I post today is not one whit different in persoective than 15 years ago except I’m more tired of the Bushes and GOPe than I ever figured I’d ever be

You learn a lot here in a decade and a half about human nature especially if cursed with near photographic recall like I am

Newer Freepers have no idea

I miss one thing the most....even if it meant the harpies returned....we need our old traffic....this place used to roar with threads rolling in the 100s even over silly crap

You could refresh your replies and have a hard time scrolling back to where you were

It was a combination of things I guess

[Cold Heat]

I cannot say that I miss the harpies....especially Howlin..lol

[Travis McGee]

Great post, true all dat.

[Ouderkirk]

I was merely commenting on Rove’s ability to work the squishy middle. Was he a genius...nah. But, I will say that he knew the politics of the time. These days things have changed and the old formulas aren’t going to work. The middle is gone, and they are undeclared democRATS. So that leaves Rove out in the cold. Unfortunately he won’t just go away, sort of like Dick Morris. Morris knew his business (the squishy middle) at the time, and that time has passed.

I do remember the packs who would attack anyone who said anything remotely critical of GWB. The republican alternatives then were less conservative than what we have in Ted Cruz, or even Trump or Carson.

Quite a few got zotted in 2011/12. The Comedian, and Pissant come to mind. I always liked them, even if I didn’t agree with them. They were smart and able to defend their positions without getting personal.

Budget: Cruz has made massive financial deals, has put tens of thosuands of people to work, has run a billion dollar business, and protected a bottom line.  Next flight of fantasy...
Civil Liberties: Trump has said he'll round up and deport illegal immigrants, build a wall that is 60 feet tall along our border.  This results in his red marker on civil liberties.  No sale.
Free Market: The "FREE MARKET"...  Nothing in life is free.  The cost of this "FREE MARKET" has been tens of millions of U. S. jobs.  Trump wants to bring them back.  That warrants a red marker.  LOL
Health Care and Entitlements: Trump has proposed a private sector replacement of Obamacare.  He wants to reduce entitlements as part of getting the budget under control.  This red marker is simply proposterous.
Moral issues:  What moral issues?  Good grief.  Name one moral issue Trump has a problem with.
Second Amendment:  This is simply a fraud.  Trump has a paper on Second Amendment rights, and it's recognized as a good one.
Taxes, Economy, and Trade:  Trump's tax position is good.  His economic experience is second to very few U. S. Citizens.  His trade view are more solid than any other candidate's.

In Cruz's favor, his free market mark isn't deserved either.

Trump is the go to guy because of his economic experience.  He is solid on other issues as well, but second to illegal immigration, our national debt and related matters are vitally important and need to be addressed.  Trump is the only candidate with the experience necessary to do that.

Cruz supporters are pleased to drop this bomb on the forum.

It isn't an accurate display on Trump.  As such it's actually a smear on Cruz when his supporters tout it as a reason to support Cruz.  What they should be doing is pointing out the obvious flaws in this ranking.  And RANK is the proper word here....
