What a load of bull crap...
After years of the corrupt government/GOP lying, betraying, with people like Bush leading the party, celebrating cinco de mayo up in the white house, as a conga-line of millions enters during war time...As the frauds and liars in the GOP routinely compromise over conservatism, profits and power over patriotism, what do think slick?
Ya think those capable of critical thought haven't noticed this decades long wholesale sellout?
“What happened?” The scent of power. These elites are arguing over, who holds the tail, while the cat gets screwed. It’s a Gov’t union vs Union gov’t. The cat is still getting well screwed. Guess who the cat is?
The cat is us.
The host withers and dies, first. You are still working the lame. How wonderful.
And prayer rugs...
Cruz is saying "if this happened" and also saying "let's see what really happened" ... like an adult.
So far, laplata. God may have other plans.
No confuZed all around, bro :o)
Nada bit.
God may have other plans.
Yes He does.
I see your point.
Suck it, Ted. Does the FedGov have probable cause or a search warrant for my cell records? No? Then retention of my cell phone records by the FedGov is a CRIME.
Sure, Ted, there’s no way that the Obama administration would be using these cell phone records for nefarious purposes against their political enemies, right? Let me guess, your answer is: That’s the IRS’s job.
Any one in the republican party that McCain calls a
“Wacko Bird”. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee.
And yes you did have a point. But you missed mine.
“Reagan also signed the Brady Bill.”
I know he supported it but I don’t think he signed it. He
signed the Mulford Act when he was governor. It was just as
bad though. Not good for sure but he still was conservative.
On the tax’s he got screwed when the spending cuts never happened and
on immigration he got screwed when they didn’t get control
of the border. A lesson today’s pseudo Republicans didn’t learn or failed to grasp.
You know exactly what point I was making. Why do you want
to make a big deal about it? Do you support moderates? It’s
ok if you do. They will change when they think it will
benefit them.
I didn’t say I support moderates. I just find it humorous that the denizens of this room will scream RINO!!! at the top of their lungs when any Republican strays 1 degree from conservative orthodoxy. But when you look at his record, Ronald Reagan strayed from conservative orthodoxy several times. And he is (rightfully, IMHO) lionized here. The hypocrisy is amusing.
The best of the worst, is sometimes head and shoulders above all the prions; and judged by less rigorous standards, than the rest of the bastards that follow in his wake.
another sorry excuse
is there anyone left who represent their constituents?
peter king, rand paul, christie, rubio-what a total waste of time and money
I miss Allen West
:(
I hear you.
Rubio lost me with his immigration discourse while he was still an FL legislator (as usual, a Freeper with local knowledge pointed out his policy issue). Rubio carried that perspective forward - but he bifurcated his PR rhetoric - "amnesty" while speaking in Spanish and "secure the border" in English.
On the other hand, I've observed Cruz over many hours of CSPAN broadcasted hearings. I gain a deeper respect for Cruiz with every public interaction (he's highly intelligent, articulate, and consistently principled in literally fighting for our constitution.)
Let's face it - if Juan McLame calls someone a "wacko bird", I'm probably going to be singing from the same hymnal with the accused.
LOL! OK, that's pretty good!
“Former Vice President Dick Cheney added his voice to the debate by arguing that the surveillance programs are necessary if terrorist attacks are to be stopped... As vice president after the 9/11 terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 people in 2001, Cheney helped design the controversial system, leaked by Snowden, for keeping track of the public’s emails and phone calls.”
In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks the majority of the American people were willing to allow their constitutional rights to be abridged, in order to gain greater security from terrorists’ threats. Cheney felt he was responding quite reasonably and responsibly to what he considered to be a dire threat to our safety. Perhaps history will judge him to be correct. The NSA claims that some 50 attacks have been thwarted by its program. I wonder how much of the current opposition would evaporate if there were another major attack. For myself, I’m willing to forgo some security for greater civil liberties, because I believe the greater threat to our well being as a nation is a too powerful government.
