If the GOP is going to push Myth on me, I will be glad to vote Independent. After this weak a$$ budget deal, I owe the Repubics nothing.

**********************

And that is the key. Right now - today - this would result in Republican defeat. But we do not know who the Republican nominee will be, and perhaps the Republicans in Congress will suddenly become both principled and resolute.

If his candidacy is a mere stunt, it will only work against a weak, business as usual, statist-lite GOP. That is what they are most of the time, but not always. Just almost always.

Trump has contributed money to the campaigns of Harry Reid, Arlen Specter, Charles Rangel, Ted Kennedy, Anthony Weiner, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and Rahm Emanuel among others.

I wouldn't be surprised if the rats are behind Trump's run because it would essentially guarantee Hussein's re-election. I pray he does not run because we need a true conservative to be elected in 2012.

RE: Bobby Jindal. Found this already:

According to Jindal, his mother was already four months pregnant with him when they arrived from India.

To Naturalize as a US Citizen takes a mimimum of five years except for a spouse of a US Citizen which takes three.

No way could his parents have been US Citizens at the time of his birth, so NO he is Not a Natural Born Citizen even though he was born June 10, 1971 in Baton Rouge, LA.

Still better than a Mitt... Did you expect it to be easy?


No, but I hope it’s not going to be even more difficult, either.

Gee, a RINO, or Obama. I see little to no difference and both will continue to erode our freedoms and continue this country towards the path to ruin.

No thank you.

One is a Muslim, that may not be a citizen, that has friends that are terrorists and has demonstrated a hatred for the country. I see a huge difference.

“Gee, a RINO, or Obama.”

So your saying you’d vote for Obama over Trump

Is this why Fox News is mandating that all candidates be registered with the FEC by the end of the month? Trump will be excluded, as his Apprentice agreements legally bind him until June.

I want to see Trump is all of the debates. I’m sure his energy independence ideas are not pleasing to the Saudis, ergo Fox News investors.

Is Trump still a progressive, eg., an establishment ruling class lobbyist?

If he runs as a third party candidate we will know that he is an elitist who is out to destroy the tea party movement and gain favor from the progressives for his business interests which he is prone to do as evidenced by his generous campaign donations to the ruling class elitists.

This was the plan. Split the GOP in half and obama stays in the white house.

Regarding Marco Rubio: A quick check shows he was born in Miami, FL to Cuban parents. I haven’t found anything about them naturalizing prior to his birth. I’ll dig into this a little more tomorrow.

I'm saying I will be apathetic given that “choice” if it comes down to it.

As far as I'm concerned there will be little difference in who wins if it is between those two.

He's not running for jack. He's simply pimping his franchises.

Do you think an ego like that could stand having his businesses placed in a blind trust?

This WSJ blog is peddled by a typical lefty at the WSJ twisting Trumps comments to divide and conquer the GOP . Just read the leftist lies that Comrade Kelly at the WSJ says about Obama birth certificate has been viewed and verified by media outlets . This WSJ blogger is a Liar. Since Murdoch’s son has been in charge the WSJ has been shifting left !

And this is how Obama gets his second term.

This has been apparent from the start. He is NOT in it for anyone but Trump.

Now how would the press treat Palin if she said bankruptcy was nothing more than a tool and she was fine with using it.

Yet the give Trump no grief when he let's 350 million go into bankruptcy.
