Oh, yeah, and I want to see Steve “Varys the Spider” Schmidt collapse into a grease fire.

It is disappointing to me that members of FR are becoming emotional and fall into fear of the Left, instead of fighting against them like Senator Cruz.

I’m not in fear of the Left, or the least bit emotional - I’m informed about the Left, and their tactics. In order to win, our side has to get millions of middle of the road, undecided voters - not the population of FR. The Left controls almost all the media. If they make what you think is a non-issue into daily screaming headlines, we lose.

You are the one who is stressed, otherwise you wouldn’t be so belligerent verging on hysteria - the same way some here were when I warned about Rubio - albeit my warning about him was for completely different reasons.
The people who got angry at me about Rubio wanted to believe in him as a solution - the messiah who would deliver the “Hispanic vote”. The true believer position about a candidate is never a good one to assume - it’s a form of idolotry.
It’s better to remain detached and examine all the dimensions objectively. I see a potential problem in Cruz’s candidacy. Threatening and insulting me won’t make it go away.

Don’t you see that you are making my point for me? Of course it was manufactured - given that we gave them some hot stuff to run with - On the Dems’ side, the kids can be criminals. On our side, not. That’s the way it is because they own the media.

Now imagine the McCain/Palin campaign if her daughter had been an ordinary, nice girl studying architecture at MIT, or at Yale studying English literature. Or in medical school. Or had started her own cookie business and was doing well with it. Imagine it. Whole different picture, isn’t it? No cheesy headlines, no ugly jokes, not one drop of anything to distract from the message.
Because that story made a lot of noise for a long time.
I would have died before I put my family in a position to be a target of that kind of ridicule and abuse, and I would never have chosen a candidate with that kind of situation - it was a public relations disaster and had a big negative effect on the campaign.

Which of them smoked the most crack before writing their articles, Frum or AllahPundit? What a pant load from both.

This is more of a fantasy history, "stranger things have happened" exercise than an actual endorsement. It's also advice to Democrats to steer clear of Liz Warren's more left-wing alternative.

It does bear pointing out, though, that 20 years ago David Frum was a very hardline conservative. I don't know what happened to him since then to change his mind, but he was a jerk even then.

What some people will take away is that he was a secret or potential RINO all the time, but maybe the point to reflect on is that even people who disagree with you can be jerks.

We’re still not talking about Rubio.

I have no choice but to consider you a concern troll at this point. Once again, your lies are not welcome here.

You're dodging, twisting and spinning again. I invite you to answer my questions starting with listing the names of people other than Cruz or Palin that meet with your approval and don't draw your deep-seated concern.

No you are the one dodging, because you don’t want to face the ramifications of what I said about how different the campaign would have been if the Palin daughter had been attending university instead of a pregnant unwed teenager with a worthless boyfriend.

Any competent representitive of conservative values across who doesn’t have a brother-in-law whose cousin’s ex-husband is a convicted meth dealer is fine with me.

Name your acceptable candidate for President. Names, sir. Names.

My mother died two years ago, never having learned to use a computer.
I repeat: I don’t tell lies. So you are lying when you say I do.
