>>The guy’s willing to get outside the normal political boundaries and call these people out, and we’ve been wanting that. And not to be gratuitously attacking, just tell the truth about it to people. To some people this is a character virtue. It isn’t a defect.

Rush is absolutely spot on with this.

First, we had 8 years of all sorts of attacks on Dubya, by the press, by the Left, and Bush *never* responded to any of it. I guess he thought his actions would speak for him. THIS DOES NOT WORK IN POLITICS ANY MORE. PERIOD.

This is why we’re OK with the tweets, with the trolling. We wanted a response to happen in the Bush years, we were calling for it here at FR. The people Trump is responding to don’t deserve respect and decorum, they deserve and need to be called out on their BS, and Trump has found a way to be effective at it despite the press being stacked against him.

This is a very important aspect of why the NeverTrumpers are wrong, wrong, wrong about him.

It all comes down to who gets credit. The political crowd, who doesn’t know the value of a dollar, or a businessman, who knows how to get things done on time and under budget. A politician, who talks about what needs to be done, but is afraid to take the risk and do it. A businessman, who decides on a course of action, accomplishes the task and moves on to the next issue.

Jesse Jackson once said, “It is better to hope to get something from a Clinton than to actually get it from a Bush.” That says it all. The democrats are famous for talking an issue to death, then throwing massive amounts of money at the problem, with no end goal; no accomplishment. They will take the conservative argument to get elected. Just look at those videos of Schumer talking about immigration years ago. These people are phonies.

I voted for Donald Trump in the primary and the general election, and I’ll do it again. How many administrations talked about moving our embassy to Jerusalem? He did it. Says it all for me. I talked to a liberal friend of mine who works in the steel industry this week. He said he’s never seen business better. His only complaint was about the work ethic of the “kids” they’re hiring.

What’s the democrat response to the economic boom created by President Trump? They just introduced legislation to raise corporate tax rates. They want to license businesses; determine who can and cannot innovate and enter a field of endeavor. They want to re-regulate businesses. They want to implement cap and trade. They want to raise interest rates, and restrict capital. Ayn Rand could not have been more prescient. Elizabeth Warren wants to become Wesley Mooch. They’ve rigged the Californian election system to guarantee one party rule and plan to export it to other states. God help us.

Ha! This talk of character in politicians is like Mafia dons meeting to decide who among them is the kinder & gentler crook. You couldn’t fill a thimble with the good character of politicians.

Rush may blow off political lies as inconsequential to character, but for those of us on the receiving end of these lies, lying is the mark of someone of poor character; it is the basis of all other character flaws.

However, our country is way past the point of waiting for a President of good character to change the deadly course this nation is on. One half of this country has abandoned morality & patriotism, preferring perversion, corruption, & pie-in-the-sky lies. A majority in Congress don’t give a damn for this nation & people, preferring power & wealth instead. Trump is a breath of fresh air in the cesspool of American politics.

As for Romney’s character: He gladly accepted Trump’s endorsement for Senator, then stabbed him in the back at the first opportunity. His is the character of a venomous snake.

Character flaws aside of JFK, LBJ, Bill, etc., there is no mention of Soetoro publically sodomizing the Constitution for 8 years.

As others here have said,I think Trump is exactly what we need right now. The right man for the right time.

They voted for Hillary Clinton over character issues? You just can't make this stuff up. It's so absurd no one would believe it if it didn't actually happen.

“Obama’s character was said to be impeccable…”

Really!?

Well-after the expose of his long, personal and direct association with ‘God Damn America’ Rev. Wright.... and after “O’s” ham-fisted, grudging, unconvincing, tardy and thoroughly insincere ‘explanation’ for that association.... He had not one gram of ‘character’ left.

He was crud then and is crud NOW

TRUMP CHARACTER

o TRUMP has BAD character, you believe. You are a passive, risk avoidant, conformist who was always scared of making mistakes which better your life. You whine & complaint for other people to improve what you do not have.

o TRUMP has GOOD character, you believe. You are a doer, a performer, life is unfair but better outcomes are from risking a little to gain a lot. Your family, spouse & friends are imperfect, but they are life’s best.

Taking other mens’ wives. Marrying underage girls. Starting a bank that issued worthless paper notes and leaving in the middle of the night to escape his creditors. Using devices to find hidden treasure for a fee. Destroying a man’s printing press.

Trump voters find his character, his tweeting and his direct, on-point talk at people as part of his virtue.

HE SPEAKS MY LANGUAGE. period!

When he said Wiretapped and they all freaked out....I knew what he was saying and turns out he was right. obama had Trump wiretapped.

When he said *Dress Like a Lady* they all freaked out.

Even in jeans I always dress like a Lady. I knew exactly what he meant becuase its all in the upbringing.

I am almost 60 but am in very good shape. Still, to me, certain styles are for the young no matter how good I look.

Dress Like A Lady............punto basta!!

I love Free Republic!

Thanks
