I’ve gotten it from both sides in private for not being more militant in defense of either/or. If I see a cheap shot or ugly falsehood made against Trump, that pisses me off just as much as the bullshit “Cruz is a RINO/not a citizen, et al” attacks. A man alone won’t win this election, and this needless division doesn’t serve us. The one person left on the “R” side deserving of nuclear fury is that Pig Vomit creep from Ohio.
Why don’t the others see it?
Fastest way to spot a liberal on FR:
“Faux”. - The pseudo intellectual hipster word in heavy use since 2000 AD.
Or “Jeebus” which is how DU, Daily Kos and the rest exclaim “Jesus” without coming out and saying it.
I was a Palin militant back in 2008, when the campaign came alive with her advent.
I'd vote for Cruz with no reservations, but he doesn't bring in the extra swing voters to innoculate against the Media DeathStar.
Trump brings the voters alive. I think that's the only thing protecting him from the Media. It wasn't enough for Palin, but I think Trump has the Bill Murray factor going for him. Bill Murray is America's cool eccentric uncle - everybody knows him.
Donald Trump is America's rich uncle, and he hasn't really p*ssed too many people off. I think we always just kind of knew he was around, doing Big Trump stuff. LOL! He's a hoot!
I just absolutely abhor the cheap shots back and forth on both sides. We need to be united against the Butcheress of Benghazi, not engaging in bitter backbiting.
That stuff is instigated by professionals. Both sides.
I’m a Zen Buddhist who likes Christians, so you can stick it up your snotbox, you insufferable wanker. LOL! :)
“President Obama said the day after the budget deal is made he’s going to concentrate on immigration. He says he’ll start by deporting Ted Cruz.” –Conan O’Brien
old one, but still timely.
My first supervisor (Master Sergeant) at my first duty station was a Buddhist and we were in a Buddhist country.
I trashed the author and the source of the article, so I'm an "objective" observer. It's what any self-respecting FR Media archivist from the old days would have done.
And so I did.
Buddhism and Zen Buddhism are NOT the same animals.
I’m sure there’s professional agitators here. I just wish management was more aggressive in showing them the door. If you want to support one candidate over the other, great, but when the lies start to fly and the ugliness, that’s when ZOTs need to be used.
One argument the Cruz side makes is that their guy will be less damaged and less polarizing for November, but let’s face it, if Jesus Christ were the GOP nominee, the media elites, the party establishment and the decadent cultural leaders would paint him as the next Hitler (case in point, the article that is the subject of this thread). There’s no Republican heading into the fall that won’t have 40-45% of the electorate against them, so they will all be “damaged” and “polarizing.”
Sadly, such is the nature of the game these days. It should be the other party that ought to have 90%+ of the electorate permanently aligned against them.
Like saying Lutherans and Catholics aren’t in the same religion.
The professionals are savvy in the ways of hiding what they are. There have been a few prominent busts, but there are a few USUAL SUSPECTS still out there.
And that's all it takes to disrupt the board. Actually, people think that the Cruz/Trump furor is what it's all about - when in actuality it's about reducing the effectiveness of the board against Her Thighness & The Bern.
Wheels within wheels. I've been here a VERY long time. :)
Your nonsense is like water off a duck’s back. Which shift are you?
I know you’re not a fan of 2DV at present, but he’s still good people. I would not accuse him of being a paid disruptor.
I don't like batters crowding the plate. :)
I still gotta get around to looking up that toxic tart Tara Taghizadeh.
Well below par for one of your posts.
This article is as full of it as a Porta-Can
at a burrito festival.
I’ve always said there are good arguments on both sides of the issue, and it won’t be decided short of a SCOTUS ruling. And if anything, Obama has the better claim, unless someone could prove he was born outside the US. So I’ve argued with both sides who claim there is precedent and it’s settled. I also think if Cruz were nominated the Dems would use it to leave Cruz off the ballot in some states forcing Cruz to sue to be put on. So I would like 2DV to explain his 180 on the subject, especially since he questions Trump’s change of positions in recent years.
