It’s 1979 in America

This in 1979 to some extent as we have some potential candidates that may actually be able to get the whites to again vote as a block (see my home page).

These include Cruz, Cotton, and maybe Walker (although his Amnesty problem will be hard to get away from).

“My top choices for a 2016 bid are Walker and Bush.

HUH? Two opposite ends of the spectrum?”

Actually, not at all.

If you would scratch even a little bit below the surface of the recent hooplah, Walker is very much the spitting image of Bush.

For common core, amnesty, not for right to work until pushed to it by his GOP legislature.

Really.

Do some research before the last 2 months.

Walker is in fact running to be Bush’s VP.

This charade that he’s the opposite end of the spectrum from Bush is only so much play-acting so people will be fooled into thinking a Bush/Walker ticket is actually an Establishment/Tea Party compromise.

It. is. not.

Walker is a lifelong government Republican, good ol boy Wisconsinite, friend of Preibus and Ryan, and of the Bushes.

Dig. deeper.

That would be SMD for surface mounted devices. No idea what SMC is.

He eluded [sic] to the fact that it isn’t feasible to deport 11 million people

But it is possible to get them to self-deport if we remove their incentive to stay by vigorous enforcement of employment laws and elimination of "social services" for illegals.

Here’s my latest dream lineup

Prez : Ted Cruz (preferred, Walker is a good backup but he kills me on immigration waffling)
VP: not sure
Sec state: bolton
Sec Def: West
Sec HLS - only one I’m not sure of - unsure who is strong enough and conservative for this one - needs to be renamed anyway and reorgd.
Sec Energy/Transportation: Palin (don’t need 2)or Perry
Sec Treasury & Commerce & Labor: Forbes (don’t need 3) or Perry or Fiorina
AG: Giuliani or the sheriff in Milwaukee or the one in AZ (though not happy with Giuli on gun rights cruz would keep him honest)
Interior/HUD/Agri: Pence or Daniels (don’t need 3)
Vets/HHS/Surgeon General: Carson
eliminate ed/epa

Trying not to use current senators/reps/governors (unless time is coming up) and keep a solid conservative bias.

“only one” should ready “other one” sigh

Re: “*snort* Coming from a very poor background, I can assure you that very, very few bondsmen will trouble themselves to assist you for a mere 300 dollars worth of bail.”

Really?

Here’s a quote from, and the link to, one of Seattle’s largest bail bondsmen:

“An alternative to cash bail is a surety bond....For this service, the defendant is charged a premium (typically 10% of the bail amount in Washington). For example, if the bail amount is $10,000.00, the premium charged is $1,000.00.”

And the link:

10% of $3,000 is $300.

And, according to your experience, very few bondsmen will do half an hour of paperwork to earn $300?

You have no idea how the criminal justice system works.

That makes you even cooler :)
