Now if only he would refrain from these bad words:

"amnesty"
"universal health care"
"gun control"
"government surveillance"
"eminent domain"
"how much should I donate to Sharpton?"

There is a difference between public “use” and public “purpose”. Some folks interpret the 5th amendment to rad as if it says “public purpose”

Simple Definition of purpose

: the reason why something is done or used : the aim or intention of something

When in fact the 5th says “public use”

Simple Definition of use

: the act of using something

The 5th was not written to be so narrow as to exclude the act of taking property for public use by saying it had to have a purpose.

Pllleeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzeee!! Both of you:

It's LOSE, not LOOSE.

So many people get that confused. You may think I'm anal, but to me it's just more evidence of the collapse of society when people are so cavalier about proper spelling and grammar.

So many Freepers make that mistake over and over and over.

Call me insane, but I just can't stand these Word Crimes.

AAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Assuming he’s referring to his use of the word “pussy,” that word is generally NOT considered profanity, at least not until a Republican contender used the term. But about fifty years ago, we had a character named “Pussy Galore” in a mainstream James Bond movie, and that was considered cheeky and cool.

When did any lib pundit ever have to apologize for the crude vulgarities they directed towards Sarah Palin? Never.

The concerned public wants to know: Why can't the republicans be classy like the democrats?

Exactly how is the word ‘pussy’ profanity?

Or did I miss another word somewhere.

Pussy Cat

“I thawt I saw a Pussy Cat”

Pussy Galore

Pussy Riot

????

Or can’t we say Hoover Damn anymore either?

Or you can go here and see the family crest of the Shitt family dating back to the 1200’s in England.

I don’t consider Trump the second coming of anyone. In fact if my man Cruz isn’t the nominee and Trump is I will vote for him. How about you if the reverse happens?

You missed the “your” instead of “you’re” in post#9 as well.

"The concerned public wants to know: Why can't the republicans be classy like the democrats?"

Because the public doesn't know that Democrat slurs and obscenities are passed over in silence by the media, whereas Republican slurs and obscenities - arguably less frequent - are made into headline news.

The media really doesn’t have a clue about Trump’s sense of humor. He was playing with them like a cat teases a mouse.

After the so-called “promise,” by the way, he said “hell.”

Excuse me while I faint.

Yep, absolutely. I’ve said a zillion times if Cruz gets the nomination, he’ll get my vote. I used to have it in my tagline, but after the shame mailers and the caucus day Carson shenanigans, I’ve shifted more from “I support Ted second” to “I will hold my nose and vote for Ted to stop the Dems”.

But hey, a vote’s a vote. :)

I’ve seen some differences on FR during presidential election years over potential nominees but the vitriol this time around is almost as embarrassing to the site as our HTML problem.

Populist...

Plays well in NH...

Not so well in Louisiana...

Flip flop to come later, as state demographic change.
