but Conservatives have failed me and our country

Stopped reading right here. This is a lie. Conservatives have been fighting to make America great again. Its big donors like trump who has been undermining Conservatives for decades making it harder for Conservatives to gain traction.

this guy is a phoney Conservative proof the first sentence

...I'm ready for some pushback for once.  The riff with the Pope is a perfect example.  He pushed back on the Pope just like he did with that snarky Telemundo reporter early in the race.

You nailed it, freedom lover! 

And I love the spirit of this post and the woman who wrote it.  Never quite heard a woman describe herself as rock-ribbed!  LOL.  But the strength of her words proves she's a tough cookie when it comes to our country.

For months our fellow Cruzbots (God love 'em) have been telling us their candidate is the "most conservative" and "toughest fighter".  And to their credit, they've effectively beat that meme into our subconscious.

But the point of this post and the comments that followed it is:

On standing up to our enemies and
giving it to 'em — both barrels:

Nobody, but nobody measures up to Trump!

It ain't even close, folks.  Let me prove it with a list of Trump firsts and I invite Cruz supporters to come back at me with their own list of firsts.

Trump was first to:

• Speak the truth about the rapists/criminals coming from Mexico.
• Pledge to return illegal immigrants to Mexico.
• Declare a boycott of Macy's department store.
• Declare war on political correctness. (I give Carson a lot of credit here too)
• Challenge female commentators and moderators when they are playing unfair (Megyn Kelly).
• Challenge MSM reporters by telling them they don't know what they are talking about.
• Promise to build a wall that Mexico pays for.
• Fight back against John McCain.
• Refuse to be interviewed by the Glenn Beck nut case.
• Say Hillary should be indicted and go to jail if found guilty.
• Say Hillary supported a rapist and harassed women.
• Call Hillary the worst Secretary of State ever.
• Say Hillary got schlonged by Obama.
• Call a former governor "low energy".
• Call the Iran deal the worst in history.
• Call the Obama administration stupid.
• Admit that Muslims were celebrating on 9/11.
• Call for a moratorium on Muslim immigration.
• Fight for better treatment of veterans.
• Refuse to do a debate and hold a charity event for veterans instead.
• Question why Starbucks no longer has Christmas coffee cups.
• Call the Iraq War a mistake.
• Call out the pope for criticizing someone's religion.
• Urge a boycott of Apple products till they open up the San Bernadino terrorist's iPhone.

Absolutely! We have been lied to by conservatives. This is the current conservatives. Conservative means free trade destroying our jobs, Conservative means cheap labor immigration that takes blue collar and IT jobs from American citizens. Conservative means not standing up to Obamacare because the Wall Street loves it. Conservative means allowing zero interests that only helps big business and big banks while destroying savings and small local banks. Conservative means a big security state watching our every move.

And there are these same conservatives all over FReerepublic denigrating us for not being part of the conservative group...

To distance ourselves from these One World Globalists we have to deny being conservatives...And this of course gives them the opportunity to call us liberals...

"...Trump is different. It really is that easy."

And Obama voters voted for "change".

Thinking works better.

[Iscool]

For many on this site now. Ronald Reagan wouldn't pass their "CONSERVATIVE TEST" today.

Reagan didn't pass their test back then...This is the same group that rejected Reagan...The same group that supported Romney and McCain and Dole...

Ask 'em...If Cruz doesn't make it they will vote for Rubio...If he doesn't get it they will vote for Kasich or Bush...

The real conservatives who back Cruz will support Trump as their 2nd choice...Hopefully there's enough of them...

As for me, I'm as conservative as it gets, but Conservatives have failed me and our country. . . .

So he is voting for a liberal.

[big'ol_freeper]

I can answer that based on female voting patterns. She needs a daddy to run her life for her. Sorry but that’s how a majority of women vote.

Incoming.

I have friends who are emailing me and telling me to think "long and hard" about voting for Trump because they don't support him.

I respond to them that they need to vote for whoever they want because I have already picked my guy. My wife and I have both already voted early absentee in the Florida primary. It's a moot question at this juncture. The die is cast.

Thank you, Jon Voight!

“Being a Catholic myself - and I’ve earned that identity going to Catholic high school and college - my whole training is learning in Catholicism - I am very disappointed in the pope coming out against Donald Trump,” said actor Jon Voight in a text to Fox News Thursday.

“Men of the cloth should not get involved in political campaigns,” he added.

“If he’s concerned about all our illegal aliens, let the Vatican take in a few million. They’re as rich as any city in the world, and then His Holiness can take care of them.”http://www.rageandwar.com/?p=85695

You win the thread!

Incidentally, the main complaint against Trump is that his supporters are

"rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers, and Methodists! "

I’m counting on Mr Trump

That there is the problem. We can count on NO MAN to fix the problems we are facing. We must elect strict Constructionists and those that would cut government drastically. Electing Donald Trump will just be the second and third term of Obama.
