I’m no fly. I’m a son and man of God.
I have, and that is why I am talking this way.
That box was “Perfect by the flesh what had been started by the Spirit.” It was effective unbelief.
That sounds like an argument from so much pride that it cannot understand the metaphor.
Mr. Open Borders Wholly-Owned property of the GOPe?
No, thanks!
I’d take Trump over Walker in a second.
Then you’ve wasted nine years lurking. Follow your Rat down to the water. Adieu.
Trump is using the techniques the left has been using on us for years, with us being clueless about being manipulated.
Not you, not all of us.
Wow.....talk about narcissistic.... I think you got it going on big time there buddy...!
Sorry, that just doesn’t make sense. First it’s a myth that Perot helped get Clinton elected. The fact is Perot took 3 votes away from Clinton for every one he took from Bush. All you need to do is look at the polls from back then. The last poll before Perot reentered the race had Clinton 49% Bush 38%. The first poll after he reentered had it 42-36. So Perot took 7 percent from Clinton and only 2% from Bush. There’s no reason to think the undecided voters would have broken for Bush, since Perot was the anti status quo candidate.
Second, Trump hasn’t split our vote, he’s consolidated it. He has more support than any two other candidates. He’s put the GOPe in the same position conservatives were in last time. Then Romney had a plurality, and we were divided, trying to beat somebody with a bunch of nobodies. Now the shoe is on the other foot. And it’s those who are holding out for Cruz or Carson who are splitting the vote. I hope you keep an open mind about Trump, because he’s the best shot we have, IMHO.
Therefore we are supposed to vote Republican and the Republicans are no better if not worse than democrats. Either way we are screwed. May as well for Trump to see if he is for real because the Republicans are not going to do us any good as the last 2 election cycles have proven.
Thank you for posting the data on Perot/Clinton. It really is an eye opener and a sad comment on how long and deep the lie is about Perot.
Relax man, There is no 100% pure candidate anywhere. Not Trump, not Cruz and not Walker. Period. They just don't exist. I like Walker, and he was my governor, but he's changed positions on a few things, such as immigration. If you were honest with yourself and consistent in your reasoning, you would eliminate him from consideration, but you haven't. You should give Trump and Cruz the same break.
Me too.
You got me. Just this AM I was praised on my humility and had to start again. (h/t Franklin)
Walker ended illegal alien’s attending Wisconsin schools. No other governor has done that.
First Trump = RINO at best.
Second, you’ve got your history mixed up about Perot. He came back in to shore up Clinton.
Big whoop—it saved a few dollars when, like any guv shooting for prez, Walker wanted to improve the state’s finances. That was in 2011, and in 2013 he was waxing eloquent about how he wanted anyone from anywhere in the world—from Mexico or any other country—to come here so easily legally, that they wouldn’t bother to cross the border illegally. He actually said that would be his approach to the border.
Trump has had his chance and he sat on his hands for 5+ years.
Trump (D-NY) is worth $10 billion. 1% of his wealth is $100 million. 1% of that is $1 million. What conservative cause over the last five years has Trump donated a million dollars to?
Show me something? A donation to Hillsdale College? To an adoption center? Something conservative with his money?
Trump (Do-nothing - NY)
He talks purty. Don't get into bed with him, FRiend.
Walker hasn’t changed positions. He ‘said’ things, but it’s his actions I care about. Anybody can say anything. You’ve known big talkers, so don’t kid yourself.
The loud mouth in the fight is the biggest coward. What has Trump (D-NY) done other than tell us what he will do once he’s POTUS?
Real conservative leaders act. Talk is cheap.

Nothing. He’s a superrich “conservative” who won’t peel off 1% of 1% of his wealth to support the cause.

He talks purty.
After nearly a decade of lurking you haven’t learned a thing about politics on FR? Actions, not words. Politicians have to say things, but it’s what they do that matters.
You’d get it right away if Hillary! said she was going to make her WH the most transparent in history. If she said she was going to get tough with Islamists. But Trump pushes your buttons and you jump into bed with him.
Why are so many alleged conservatives political tramps?
He’s not used a piece of his wealth to further a real conservative cause. Not borders, not abortion, not marriage, nothing.
Yet, you’ll criticize the guys in the ring, the real doers, the guys who make things happen under extreme pressure, pressure you don’t even imagine, because they ‘said’ something. Politics is all about feinting in speech. It’s the action that counts.
Walker and Cruz have taken actions that really count despite great political and personal risk. Trump’s done NOTHING.
You cannot be taken seriously with that kind of weak, inconsistent reasoning.
