The invasive exam begins. Only normal people get it. democrats and other insane creatures are given a free pass.
Two words should be said to any MSM mouthpiece that spouts about this “nonsense”: PROVE IT.
There are holes in the theory of Evolution and I don’t know enough about carbon dating, but I’m assuming it’s pretty much “educated guesses”. And...if there is a God...could he not accomplish things in a shorter period of time?
Just random thoughts...
Who needs them, when he's so eager to push for comprehensive immigration reform. I can see the joke just fine, but the credibility is very fuzzy.
It's the U. S. A. Mr. Rubio, not MexAmerica.
Maybe Mitch McConnell can write somebody a tersely worded letter.
I heard Ann Coulter refute this once, I thought quite effectively. She referenced John Lott's study which remains the most comprehensive, objective, research exploring the incidence of violent crimes in relationship to the freedom of concealed carry. If, as the left contends, they were strict adherents of empirical data and findings, they should be falling over themselves to promote firearm ownership and carry.
It will continue endlessly. The Amerimoron public is far too stupid and uninterested to do more than take what the media spoon feeds them as gospel.
It’s clear to the average Amerimoron that Republicans are evil and stupid... every last one of them.
I never realized that Pravda was a willing accomplice. I thought that the State leaned hard on Pravda to control content. It’s clear to me, watching our media, that the media is the first to fall, and a very willing accomplice, on the slide to communism.
Marco isn’t my favorite as he is with some. But I agree that the Left is going to Palinize him and it looks like his rivals on the Right will be happy to stand by and encourage it. They don’t realize that, if they emerge as a contender they will get the same treatment.
Any conservative, any Repub, even a feckless Rino Repub who doesn’t believe in anything, is going to get the same treatment the moment he becomes a front-runner. McCain was the press’s favorite maverick until he was the nominee, and then they dismantled him. Romney was the moderate who would save us from the tea party until he was the nominee and then they took him apart.
It only works if you fall for it, and Repubs fall for it every time. As soon as they start demonizing your candidate, Repubs start wishing for another one with less baggage. Sorry, thats not how political propaganda works. They will always find an angle. There is no substitute for courage in this game. Pick the man or woman closest to your beliefs and then get ready for a firehose stream of mockery and invective and pure lies that is guaranteed to be unleashed on them and you. Since you’re going to get it either way, there is nothing to be gained by picking a moderate that you think is less vulnerable.
You’re going to get it no matter who you pick. So pick a fighter.
Several people watching the same event one day ago will report a wildly differing account on “what happened”. Thus, it seems sort of farfetched to discuss things like the age of the universe or what “really” happened hundreds or thousands of years ago.We should laugh derisively at them and tell them they are the party who wants to even quibble on what the definition of “is” is, the party who says things are all “relative” and that “we all create our own reality”, so these questions make no sense coming from them.
I'm glad you added that comment. The RATs think they can get away demonizing any candidate now. Even Ronald Reagan would be “unelectable” these days. Just follow your heart people!
How about: “I believe that the Executive Branch is Constitutionally limited in its powers, and your question is asking about personal opinion on something that’s irrelevant to the issues that would be before the President. You may as well waste time quizzing me about how much the Moon weighs.”
On abortion: “It’s all about choice. I believe the voters should have the choice of how to vote on their state’s laws on this moral issue.”
When the GOP learns to fight like this then I may vote for them.
Is Marco Rubio even eligible to be President?
And the hand-wringers on our side will complain about how each and every one has "too much baggage" and "will never be taken seriously", which settling for another milquetoast loser pushed by the central committee.
Online and on the cable nets, Marco Rubio is currently taking a hellacious beating for his answer to "GQ's" question about the age of the Earth. And anyone who doesn't think we'll be revisiting Rubio's "Earth" question in about 40 months should the Florida Senator decide to run for president, should stop right now and write a book about the bliss of ignorance.
As I mentioned in an earlier piece, the media now believes they have a winning tactic for disqualifying Republicans through the use of left-field "gotcha" questions that pit our faith and principles against immigration, gay tolerance, the lifestyle of the single woman (which sounds like a Diane Keaton movie circa 1978) , and the needs of the poor.
The problem, of course, is not our faith or our core beliefs; the problem is that too many on our side are rhetorically unprepared and regularly caught off guard when these media moments arrive. The result is a gaffe that frequently damages more than just a single campaign. As we saw during the 2012 election, the media was able to take one dumb answer from a senate candidate about rape and abortion and use it to bloody the entire GOP brand.

As far as religion and Marco Rubio's struggle with being asked the age of Earth, I've been a devout Christian for almost thirty years and have never found my faith in conflict with science or history. If anything, the more I learn about science and history only deepens my faith. This is why it's so frustrating to hear a bright guy like Rubio blow such an easy one. The problem isn't talent or smarts, it's training.
Before every baseball game, a good shortstop is the first one out on the field warming up and practicing. This is why he's a good shortstop; he never falls for his own press or forgets that hard work, drills, training, and the basics are what got him to where he is. And that's our problem. Our side forgets to drill, doesn't train, and suddenly we're losing games because we drop pop ups.
The GOP has plenty of talent. History proves our ideas are right. Polls prove people like our ideas best.
But we're losing rhetorically.
They did it to Quayle.
But he didn't offer his own answer.
I agree with the writer's comment above, and I agree essentially with what Rubio said. I don't see anything wrong with it.
We need a wildcard in 2016. NO MORE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS. We need a non-political figure to run on the Republican ticket...an Eisenhower, a Reagan, a general, an actor. We need Dennis Miller. (or someone like him)
They only palinized Sarah to asshole democrats....no human being thinks less of Sarah Palin....she is the best....
