"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

CRUZ or LOSE!

CRUZ or LOSE!

[Socon-Econ]

So George Washington and the rest of our creationist founding fathers did not deserve to hold office?

[MrB]

The founders specifically banned a religious test for office, even if it is a test for Humanism.

[MrB]

“Can I say as a Jew, for him to speak at Liberty University in front of those students, the born-again evangelicals, they kind of believe that if we don’t accept Christ, if I don’t accept Christ into my life, I’m going hell. So it’s not really a place for me to jump in and go, ‘Oh boy! What a great candidate!’ I cut out 90 percent of what he said. He believes I’m going to hell, so what are we talking about?”

---

He seems awfully concerned about what others think of his eternal destination, instead of what God says about it.

[JudyinCanada]

So they basically have to announce that anybody believing in The Bible, either Old or New Testament, IS NOT ALLOWED TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT. This is what it comes down to - if you’re a God fearing Christian or Jew, you are disqualified from running for president. Naturally, that would also apply for Senators, Governors, any public office.

[Maceman]

Yeah, ‘cause atheists in politics have done such a GREAT job of creating humane, prosperous and free societies over the last 100 years.

[stars & stripes forever]

[HOLMES: “What I’m saying is, I think we need to have a little bit more respect at this table and in politics for people who are evangelical, who believe in creationism, and believe in a Biblically based life.”

This call for respect amazingly drew boos from the audience.]

SOUNDS FAMILIAR...

[Jewbacca]

How is this issue relevant to being POTUS?

[Cowboy Bob]

Another Hispanophobe...

[Slyfox]

Somebody who believes God made us should not be president?

[Blood of Tyrants]

The long knives are already coming out.

[Yosemitest]

Someone should ask IDIOT Lewis Black:

HOW MANY YEARS ARE THERE BETWEEN GENESIS 1:1 AND GENESIS !:2 ?

[LibFreeUSA]

YEAH, BABY!!!! "How's this for "RESPECT"!!!!! YAYAAAHHH...

[R_Kangel]

"Wilmore: Creationists like Cruz Don’t Deserve Respect or to be POTUS..."

..... Well you heard him ....... The Pope is a creationist so I guess Democrats do not respect the Pope .....

..... Hey ... two can play this game ..... just use logic on these critters and they will flee like roaches!

[P-Marlowe]

The more I see of this crap the more I am convinced that Ted Cruz must be our Candidate.

Most Americans accept the fact that God created the Heavens and the Earth and that God is responsible for Creation.

When the Left pulls this kind of stuff, it will alienate most people who have even a token sense of religion.

In order to satisfy the left, you must believe that Man controls the climate and the the universe just happened to exist on it’s own with no God or supernatural cause.

On top of that you must be in favor of abortion and against capital punishment.

You must believe that the earth cannot sustain life on its present course, but you must also believe that illegal aliens from every corner of the third would should be imported by the millions so that our country has 600 million welfare recipients before the end of the next decade.

[mulligan]

Do not argue with idiots.

[DoodleDawg]

WILMORE: “And you want to suck up to those people to run for president, who believe the Earth is 6,000 years old?”

I believe we're electing a president of the United States, not the Dean of the Science Department.

[skeeter]

Its time to make liberal/progressive dirty words again.

It won't be hard - when properly identified most people hate 'em.

[Pollster1]

Why would anyone care what the President of the United States believes about evolution? That should not be a factor in governing responsibly (except that a real president who believes in God would be a whole lot better than a usurper who believes himself to be the final arbiter of morality and right).

[subterfuge]

Lewis Black is a vile and despicable human being. And not the least bit funny.
