Donald Trump Donated Heavily To Democrats, Especially During Election Which Put Reid And

I still believe the Congressional election of 2006 was profoundly important and yet remains an almost hidden feature of political history.

The democrats gained strong control of Congress and THIS event more than anything else— precipitated the mortgage crisis and economic collapse.

It is also helped give legitimacy to the antiwar/progenocide crowd that would elect Obama and give Iraq back to ISIS.

President Bush warned the crowing Pelosi and Reid about this in the state of the Union of 2007 where he said an Iraq withdrawal would lead to exactly what has happened since Obama took over.

The refusal to document and defend these domestic and international fenceposts is why we cannot return to prosperity and respect.

It was never Bush’s fault and sadly many conservatives and all democrats still agree that it was.

The intellectual culture that controls our memory is most to blame.

I am not surprised that the Donald did this. The man is dangerously fickle.

Rush was right today. he is the new Perot.

“Would YOU, under any circumstances, give ANY money to ANY Democrat since you know, as does Trump, that the the Democrats:

1. wholeheartedly support Abortion
2. wholeheartedly support the Gay Agenda
3. wholeheartedly want to take away your 2nd Amendment Rights
4. Wholeheartedly want to give Illegals Amnesty so they can destroy any chance that Conservatives can be President.”

Yes. Because it is part of doing business and a trump has been doing business in NY, NJ for over 75 years when you include his fathers businesses.

My turn,

Ted Cruz visited with two gay hoteliers in NYC a few weeks back to discuss whatever. The two of them supported gay marriage. Should Cruz drop out of the race? It’s very possible they support him for President which would mean Ted Cruz approves of gay marriage providing of course he didn’t return any campaign donations.

"He's a blowhard carney and American Nationalist...I am happy that Trump is in the race as now the GOP will have a debate on Immigration, the Wall, Trade and CRONY CAPITALISM. And that's a debate long over due, would you not agree?"

I agree. Let's see the whole mix of ideas and promises from all of the politicians, and have fun! Regarding some of the dialogue seen here over the past ten years or so, traditionally, real, common Americans didn't call each other names and try to shut each other up over politicians.

Political class folks these days speak more like followers of Benito Mussolini. Too much recent European influence without adequate assimilation. We need new, old fashioned leadership in every level of business, academia and politics. The default process might help with that.

"Trump...love of money"

He loves that, but he loves himself far more. Obviously, most prez candidates are not shy of ego. But Trump goes way over the top. He's more a demagogue than a serious candidate. He'll throw red meat to the mob, but has no serious solutions to anything.

[dowcaet]

Bingo. Trump is no conservative, but on an issue such as immigration he is significantly more bold than Cruz, Walker, and the rest of the field. If anything, Trump will force these guys to think more in terms of national interest instead of pleasing their internationalist, big money donors.

[miserare]

Trump is a moron.

No one can take this white overprivileged sexist jerk seriously.

So Trump donates money IN SUPPORT of many Democrats and you are trying to equate that with Ted Cruz meeting with two people, who happen to be gay and then twist that into he supports Gay Marriage?

One is an overt action indictive of supporting the policies of those you donate to. The other is listening to a couple of citizens of the United States and trying to get them to support Ted Cruz because of their shared values where Israel is concerned.

I see I am debating with a logic-impaired and morally-impaired person.

Thanks, but there are people on FreeRepublic who have not already sold their soul with whom I can hold an honest conversation with.

Yep. All politicians are liars. That was common knowledge in our real America, a couple of generations back.

Cruz Mega-Donor is Gay, Pro-Pot Billionaire

And we didn't rant, rave, call names or try to shut each other up. Humorous innuendo was as about as far as it went.

And look at our corporate offices in so many companies--all politically correct and firing anyone who is old fashioned and decent. Those are the sponsors of the media and most influential constituents in politics.

The following companies support the homosexual movement by funding their political terrorism:

The following are also too much in control of both political parties. Walker is the only politician with any real record of trying to do anything about them (by cutting their spending). Maybe Trump would, too. I don't know.

"...nearly 40 million Americans employed in some way by government."

But that's it. None of the other politicians show any real, consistent motivation to cut their money (and therefore time) for being so influential in politics.

LOL! Good one!

"but his purpose is not to have the debate but to ensure that a conservative does not win the nomination"

I can't agree with that.

I think he thinks he's going to win.

And, I don't think he has the same constituency as Ted Cruz.

Trump is a populist. And a Nationalist with appeal to Reagan Democrats.

He's going to be a force in this election whether he wins anything or not.

This shifts the debate substantially on some critical issues many other candidates are unable to address because their contributors don't see the world the same way as the average American.

Trump is going to tap that vein.

[Clintonfatigued]

Trump is third at the bottom of my Republican candidate list, just ahead of Jeb Bush and Lidnsay Graham.

[FreeReign]

He can’t win but he’s one of the few who knows how to stand up to people.

Apparently he doesn't know how to stand up to Democrats. He gave money to them.

[FreeReign]

He just buys the party in power.

He needs their favor.

And, if you need the favor of Congress you have to pay for it.

I'd MUCH rather vote for the payer than the despicable payee.

One, two, three, four rationalizations.

“Both side of the isle have accomplished it, if we’re honest with ourselves.”

Yes, just look at what Boner & Co. iare trying to do with TPP. Their “masters” down at the US Chamber of Communists don’t care what this latest trade giveaway does to our citizens so long as their moneyed members can cut another fat hog deal for themselves.
