This is the GOPe floundering desperately and hoping something will sink Trump. It would not surprise me if half the country did want a Muslim database. :-)

A Prezzy no longer has to follow the law.

Why waste all of this ink on a reportedly statement. Reportedly from conservative haters, liars, and dishonest knuckleheads.

It's apparent that you did not read the entire piece, or you and so many others who knee-jerk posted to this thread, would agree with McCarthy.

Andy has a case of the vapors.

No, he has a case of GOP-E piling on.

[Article] ... it is not clear to me, after hearing a recording of Trump's hectic gaggle with reporters, that he intentionally articulated such a proposal.

So the LeftScumMedia put together an ambush and tried to put words in Trump's mouth, which is hardly cricket, but that's good enough to let the GOP-E mouthpieces at NRO pick up the Left's ball and run with it.

Talk about doing the bad guys' dirty work, but hey, it's not like it's the first time. They've been pulling that stuff on Main Street Republicans since the 1880's.

You are being intellectually dishonest by selectively quoting in order to lie by omission.

I suggest to any who haven’t, do read the entire article and come to your own conclusions.

Agree with McCarthy on his payload sentence?

[Art.] I do think, though, that when he was fed this noxious suggestion, he did not know enough to dismiss it out of hand.

The article is still an attack on Trump as a know-nothing bloviator and demagogue.

I guess you mean that if we all "got it" we'd agree with McCarthy and dump Trump, whom you don't like because he beat your guy.

Who, by the way, was every bit as much an E-GOP tool as Marco Rubio or Yeb.

The Uniparty is on a mission, destroy Trump.


They throw stuff at the wall to see what will stick. No one will be surprised when this attempt fails to stick.

1. No, I am not being "intellectually dishonest".

2. I never quote wholesale and indiscriminately. So sue me.

3. "Lie"? Go stuff yourself.

A national-security investigation may "not [be] conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution."

Congress needs to find that Islam is not a "religion" within the meaning of the First Amendment.

He never said it. He was talking about a wall, and a reporter asked if he would implement that. He said yes.

Previously, prior to when Trump was addressing the wall, the reporter asked about registering Muslims. That’s when Trump spoke up about the wall.

So, when he obviously was referring to the wall, the media goes back an entire explanation, picks up a previous question, and states that Trump said that yes, he would register Muslims. When his answer to the Muslim question was the statement about the wall, thereby clearly indicating he was speaking of controlling access to this country.

Is it safe to assume that there is already a register of all legal immigrants and refugees entering the U.S.A. If not, why not?

Because if the government had set out to establish it ten years ago it would be billions of dollars later and they still wouldn't have it working right.

Therefore, the only people who would end up registering would be law-abiding Muslims,

reminds me of a gun argument we use but they don't care about.

Consider the source. National Review has been on an antiTrump mission from day one. They and the wsj are the journals of record for the gop faction of the uniparty.

Trump would keep Gitmo open, maybe expand it a little.

“A national-security investigation may “not [be] conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution.” That clause, and others similar to it, are found throughout the Patriot Act and other provisions of federal law. They protect Americans from being subjected to surveillance based on nothing except their religious beliefs.”

Well, well! Ain’t that something! The liberals go “hog wild” in throwing the First Amendment in our faces while trashing the Second Amendment and the rights granted thereof.

In total violation of the Second Amendment they have the names, addresses and inventory of all registered gun owners in America...and gleefully do so. However, we can’t have a list of extremely dangerous enemies of our culture and country.

Does this “smell right?”

Remember: The 2nd Amendment is our only protection for the 1st Amendment...and that has already been violated.
