1. Ben Carson was quitting the race.
2. Trump supports bamster care.
3. Trump will only appoint libs on the court.
4. Cruz has always been against the illegal invasion and expanding H1 visas (two lies in one)
5. His capitulation on TPP and the Corker amendment are good for the country.

There are more, so let's see how quickly you come up with excuses for those bald faced lies.

Phil Robertson: ‘When you remove God almighty, the father, son Jesus and the Holy Spirit from out of your life, out of your society, out of your culture, out of your ideology, you get him out of the way, then look out because the murder is fixing to start. Every time. Because they determine, men do, you’re not worth anything.’


Excellent quote by Phil Robertson. Thank you! It mirrors Mother Teresa’s:

“And if we can accept that a mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?”

He didn’t say Ben Carson was quitting the race. CNN suggested it in breaking news and his people repeated it and assumed more than they should have. But that was all fueled by Carson stupid behavior on the eve of the vote and very poor communications from his staff.

Trump certainly supported single payer and the “mandate”. There were other things Trump didn’t like about Obama care but those two are the core of it. And if you have supported those two aspects of it, the rest just the detail noise.

Here’s Cruz in 2011 on the illegal invasion:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0h3Mu8BbjM
So yes, he’s been solidly against the illegal invastion long before Trump. Trump was bitching about Romney being “mean-spirited” towards illegals that very same year.
Yes, he was for expanding H1 visas. I’m not aware of him denying that. He changed his position and said why he did. I believe Cruz learned his lesson on that front.

Well you can’t call 3 a lie. There’s no hard proof one way or the other. But Trump has said his sister would have been wonderful - and she’s was a hard left baby killing judge. And you frankly have no idea who Trump would nominate when actually President and not trying to get your vote.

Regarding TPA, Reagan strongly supported it.

Regarding TPP, McConnell lied about it and how it was going to be handled. Ted called him a liar as a result.

So, that quickly.

I knew it.

Excuses for the lies.

Never got further than He didn't say Ben Carson was quitting the race.

All his precinct captains did, during that night. That was no accident, and no one was fired.

Congrats. I have this bridge for you to buy. Just send money to my Nigerian bank account.

But, but, but.....Ted has changed his citizenship since trump wrote his book. He is not a Canadian citizen any more! Heis a committed Constitutional conservative who forgot to renounce the nation of his birth until just a few months before he announced he wanted to be a contender... For president of the united states of America. Like the loans be forgot to disclose an on and on. He cant lead in the Senate... because his own party rejects his attempts to grandstand. Grandstanding is not leadership. And folks want to give him a promotion?

Not going to happen. The vast majority of his life as an adult he has been a Canadian citizen and the only changed it because he wanted to run for president of the United States.

Wall Street Journal calls on Trump to release tax returns

The Wall Street Journal is calling on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to release his tax returns by the end of the month.

The newspaper's conservative-leaning editorial board wrote Friday that Trump must prove he is as successful in the business world as he says he is.

"One of Donald Trump's claims to presidential competence is his business and financial success, and so he should want voters to see the proof beyond the gilded staircases," they wrote. "He could enhance his credibility on the point by releasing his tax returns."

The Journal catalogued Trump's repeated dodges on the question of his tax returns. They noted that he said in January that "I have everything all approved," but said last week that the returns will still take several months.

"Waiting that long suggests that he'd wait until he wins or loses the nomination, which means before primary voters can get a look," the editorial said.

It warned Trump against falling into the same "bad political mistake" 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney made in waiting until two months before that election to release his returns, allowing Democrats to spread speculation about Romney's finances.

The Journal noted that Trump's rivals Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz have not released their most recent tax returns, but both publicized their returns when running for Senate in recent years.

Trump on Wednesday accused the Journal of having it out for him, pointing to his poor numbers in polls conducted by the newspaper.

"I think somebody at the Wall Street Journal doesn't like me," he said at an MSNBC town hall in Charleston, S.C.

"I think most of the polls were taken after the debate and they worked out good for me," Trump said. "I have never done well with the Wall Street Journal poll. I don't know. They do these small samples and I don't know exactly what it represents."

That excerpt from "Art of the Deal" actually captures a lot of Trump's appeal. Yes, he thinks big and as a result, people get excited. They really do want to "Make America Great Again."

Ronald Reagan had the same appeal. He too thought big and changed the world. It will be refreshing to have a president like that again.

Thanks for the good post on Trump. I knew you could be won over eventually.

Lost me right there.

That should read: The newspaper's conservative-leaning amnesty shilling editorial board.

Right?

You know I'm right.

They did? Have you looked at the first hand reports in the Iowa Forum (accessed through 'Account' and 'My Locale')?

Phil Robertson might believe this. THE FOUNDING FATHERS DID NOT. They purposely left out any faith-based requirement or suggestion from the Constitution.

Mentioning “God almighty, the father, son Jesus and the Holy Spirit” tickles the ears, and strokes the low-I.Q. people who know nothing about how America was founded. It’s shameful pandering.

Yes...and are you aware that Canadian law did not allow “dual citizenship” at the time Cruz was born there in 1970?? His parents chose Canadian citizenship for him. You know what that means now, don’t you?? Cruz is a US Senator without a country!

It was posted on Breitbart, fully reported. They had texts and voice mails to the Captains.

You could look it up if you cared to know the truth.

Oh, and Cruz actually apologized, you can look that up too.

If he did nothing what was the apology for?

I never even realized that the senator could have citizenship in multiple countries other than the United States and still be eligible for the Senate.
I don’t believe that a dual citizenship or multi citizenship person should be eligible for any public elected position in Washington and probably not at the state level either.

What if nation of Canada decides that ted owes millions of dollars in back taxes in his nation of birth. They could influence him with debt that he owes. Does he have undisclosed loans two parties that are based in Canada? If he was serious about being an American citizen you should have renounced US Canadian citizenship decades ago.
Why didn’t he?

Cruz apologized for it. But again he didn’t say it.

You lied about his stance on immigration. The video is there to prove it.

We won’t get burned again, especially since there’s no way most of the guys on the GOP debate stage will be elected president.

The Founding Fathers considered a religious test and rejected it. Their reasoning was that the ambitious would simply lie, and that should Americans abandon Christian morality, nothing could prevent them from choosing those like-minded as leaders.
