Who said it
Washington Beacon ^ | 12/11/2015 | Andrew Stiles

Posted on 12/12/2015 2:05:53 PM PST by Kegger

Who said it : Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.

1. "Barack Obama proved that determination combined with opportunity and intelligence can make things happen-and in an exceptional way."
2. "[A]mending the Civil Rights Act would grant the same protection to gay people that we give to other Americans-it's only fair."
3. "It's part of culture. It's part of a way of life. People enjoy hunting and shooting because it's an important part of who they are, not because they are bitter."
4. "[Mitt Romney] had a crazy policy of self-deportation, which was maniacal. It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote."
5. "Now that we've said these people are no longer deadbeats-they're actually out there being productive-how do we keep them there?"
6. "I was one who supported giving President Bush the authority, if necessary, to use force against Saddam Hussein."
7. "I've known John [McCain], really, for a long time. He's a good man. He's a quality man."
8. "The economy crashed so horribly under George Bush because of mistakes they made having to do with banking and lots of other things. I don't think the Democrats would have done that."
9. "Look at the war in Iraq and the mess that we're in. I would never have handled it that way."
10. "I believe marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman."

Well, for me it's about values. I'm a conservative. Trump is not. He's a one-trick pony. He's a reality TV star. He's a thrice married, statists crony who has turned on those who have enriched him in the media and enriched him with the cozy relationship he's had with the Democrat Party. So we agree. He's different, very different. He's probably never read a conservative book or magazine. He became a conservative for situational reasons, not reason, not emotion, not out of profound respect for the values we hold dear.

He's mercurial and it's anyone's guess what the real Trump really believes. Just a couple of months ago he was proclaiming himself a lover of Muslims. Who knows where or what the real Trump's values are?

"Actually, a lot of conservatives here are “going off that cliff,” so I think we outnumber Cruz’s supporters."

You'd be wrong in that assumption. Trump supporters tend to be the loudest, but there are plenty of Cruz supporters who communicate by Freepmail without getting into the fights on the forum.

Also, Cruz usually wins the FR monthly straw polls.

However as far as I'm concerned, I don't care how many people are for Trump. My principles are not negotiable.

" Don’t get me wrong, Ted is my second choice, but the media has been demonizing him for a couple of years now, so I think it’s too late for him to win. At least with Trump, he doesn’t care what they say about him and is able to go over the media to get his message to the people."

This demonstrates you know little about your second choice, and you're in denial about your first. Trump dived into a months-long grudge match after Megyn Kelly ticked him off. He flails, yells, and engages in Twitter wars. Don't confuse loudness with effectiveness. The man is incredibly thin-skinned.

And if you think the media would ignore his liberal past, if he became the nominee, you're deluding yourself. It would be open season. As it will be on Cruz. The difference is that Cruz knows how to handle himself.

Newsflash: the founder of this conservative site is rooting for Trump. Are you going to insult his intelligence, as well as that of many other fine freepers, merely because we don’t agree with your choice?

You folks are champs at running to the top for help, aren’t you? What a whiner.

I’m telling you what I’m doing. I’m supporting the Constitutional conservative in the race and he’s the one I’ll be sticking with. Period.

Show me the problem with that.

Not a problem for me. You pick your candidate and I’ll pick mine. That’s the way it works. Notice I didn’t denigrate your choice and hold myself up as morally superior to you because our opinions differ, which is what you did. Have a good evening.

If you don’t care that the border is sealed, illegals deported and the economy is fixed, you’re part of the problem.

I don’t give a damn who the owner of this site supports. I like Trump and that’s who I’ll vote for in the primary not that it will matter since it’s decided before I get to vote.Same as I do every time I vote.

I sure as hell don’t give a damn about who Arrogant Kate supports. You can’t let her bully you. She thrives on it. Fight back on your own merits and she’ll back down because she’s just an arrogant blowhard. She’s allowed her choice of candidates. She’s not allowed to post falsehoods or bully other posters. None of us are.

Then you might want to man up and manage to find a way to engage in discussion without crying for help or descending into whining. Otherwise you're as thin-skinned as your candidate.

If you don't like hearing the truth about Trump, your problem is with him, not me.

Hi, stalker! Good to see you!

I see you still lack the manners to courtesy ping and prefer to rail and babble behind others’ backs.

Typical, but there’s always hope for you.

You have a good Monday.

What makes you think that Cruz would be on the same ticket with a Democrat? If Trump got the nomination, I would expect him to pick someone like Joe Biden or Ed Rendell as his running mate.

OK, got you down. That's one vote for the Democrat candidate in next year's Republican primary.

You got that right. I can see the Hillary ads right now pointing out how she already has Donald Trump's endorsement in the form of past campaign contributions.

They are both in favor of partial-birth abortion, taxing the rich [sic], and socialized medicine. Why take the Democrat pretending to be a Republican when you can have the real thing?

Some of us never learn, it seems. Every time we run a Democrat-lite (or an outright, self-confessed Democrat), we lose.

Conservatism is the only way we win.

Cruz was for H-1B before he was against it.

Etiquette on this board requires pinging someone if you’re bringing them into the discussion. I’m surprised you didn’t know that, especially since you think you know everything.

Please don’t ping me when you’re having your little circle jerk. I’m not interested in your opinions.

I couldn’t care less what interests you. It’s FR courtesy; Hoodat included you when he responded to me; I followed suit.

So you do know about pinging someone when discussing them, and you were being duplicitous when you accused me of tattling on you. Good to know.
