Screw all of you!
As long as our desire for revenge outweighs our desire for doing what’s right, we are prone to nominate someone who does not support our values.
You have a right to your opinion. That is all.
LOL you sound like a Hillary supporter and probably deserve what you are getting.
FR will survive. Not so sure about the GOP.
Everyone on this forum has been praying for decades for a patriot to fight for us. He’s here right now folks! WAKE UP! He’s not perfect, get over it!
WRONG....CORRUPT RINOS WHO ARE SPINELESS AND REFUSE TO LIVE UP TO THEIR OATH OF OFFICE ARE RESPONSIBLE!
Trump's support, expanding every day, is not from irrational hatred, but from the very rational view that GOP left them a long time ago, represents crony-capitalism, incompetence and sell-outs and does nothing for the interests of we the people. So far, Trump is the only one to whom that charge does not apply at all. Marco - forgeddabout it. Ted - an awful lot of baggage actually.
And as we see, when Trump negotiates, he is tough, but after victory, he is gracious and without rancor towards the defeated opponents. Those who refuse to recognize they were defeated and come at him again - that is another matter.
I'm guessing it was a bit more than questioning.
Your reply to a call for tolerance within the conservative movement is “Screw all of you!”?
Is that sarcasm?
Its kind of hard to figure out what’s going on.
There’s too much emotion and anger out there to be sure, but its justified by the situation the country is in.
Is one person the answer?
In my lifetime I invested a lot in President Reagan and think he was pretty good, but he was only one man and not perfect.
Then I got sucked into the notion that a Republican controlled Congress would change things with Newt.
When W was president, the GOP controlled both Congress and the White House.
Did things get better? NO.
Government got bigger.
Considering the mistakes of the past like the worship of personalities as a solution including
Ronald Reagan
Newt Gingrich
George W. Bush
Rush Limbaugh
etc. etc. etc.
Maybe its time to stick to principles and take action as individuals outside the political system to change things.
Some folks did in Oregon back in January and all they got was objection to their tactics and or a cold shoulder from politically obsessed personality obsessed people chasing the rainbow that Joe Schmo as President would change everything.
I need to change what I’m doing instead of thinking its someone else who will ‘change things’.
The rabid political debate over the GOP presidential nomination distracts people from taking up their responsibilities as individuals to live the right kind of lives and do the right kind of things.
I have yet to see an single Trump supporter launch a nation #NeverCruz #NeverRubio campaign.
There is another ancient tradition. Blaming the victims for fighting back.
Don’t throw punches unless you are ready for the target to punch back.
Now Lou, there is no cure for TDS yet, but this will make you feel better.
If Trump does just three things ,secure the border, simplify the tax code and repel Obamacare, he’ll have done more for the party than any “conservative” has done for us since Reagan.
I know Cruz will do the same things. I’ll support whoever gets the nomination. It’s the rational thing to do.
“it is difficult to conceive of even Trump being worse than four more years of a left-wing president”
Obama is not merely a “left-wing president”. Oh no, no, no! He’s an enemy of the state as far as I’m concerned, and that is not necessarily a radical view of what he’s done and what he intends to do because he can. Imagine what he would do if he could.
