Russia and China are a more serious threat to us.

They want RINO flavored liberalism for the most part. Some want the real deal. People so basic in their thinking as to DQ someone on the Sen/Gov thing are thinking at the level of a child. It’s like they think this is a prom and the King should be the Football team captain, bot the AV club guy.

That’s like saying Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy are more dangerous than Imperial Japan circa 1940. We can and do have more than one enemy at a time.

He needs to boil that down to fewer words and repeat it often.

We win, they lose!

“Overwhelming force”’is an expression that has all but disappeared from the Executive Office lexicon since Obie’s election.

So I’m confident that there is a large contingent here working actively against him just as they did and still do against Palin.

There is a substantive difference between Cruz and Palin. Cruz has an education, with which he has continued to acquire and apply knowledge to policy proposals. Palin had the opportunity to acquire on and did not. She ended up echoing standard conservative pabulum but without the substance to back it up.

“It is not the job of the U.S. military to engage in nation building to turn foreign countries into democratic utopias.”

Except we've been doing exactly that for a long, long time. Indian Wars, Reconstruction, Philippines, Caribbean, Japan, Germany, Vietnam (sort of), Balkans (sort of), Iraq, Afghanistan--peacekeeping, counterinsurgency, and nation-building have been a part of our mission for many years.

And so people cannot wait to prove me correct about throwing Palin under the bus to this day. Facts be damned.

People have raped children for even longer. Doesn’t make it right or acceptable either.

What an intelligent response. I never saw the link between a long-standing mission of the U.S. Military and child-raping, but now I do.

Actually it is an intelligent response. Neither are acceptable correct?

Facts be damned.

Fact: She increased Wassilla's tax load investing public funds in a sports complex that could have been built by 24-hour fitness or some other private business.

Fact: As governor, she instituted a byzantine system of higher taxes and regulations on oil and gas companies milking them for public giveaways to the point that the industry started leaving the State.

Fact: When the going got tough dealing with frivolous lawsuits, she quit.

Fact: She has endorsed a considerable number of RINOs over conservatives in Republican primary races in which she had little to no knowledge.

After the Republican convention in which she was nominated as VP candidate, I was as thrilled as anyone with that speech. Over time, and as I listened to her and watched her decisions, I have since learned better than to trust her judgment.

She threw herself under the bus. Deal with it.

Cruz Doctrine:

1) Only kill ‘em for National interest
2) But if you going to kill ‘em, kill the shit out of ‘em
3) Leave ‘em bleeding, wishin’ they had heeded #1

I like it!

Not post the rest of the info behind your ‘facts’.
