Your stock keeps going up Art!
God Bless!
Trump is a force of positive energy.
His positive pro-America agenda is bringing millions of new people and vitality into politics. Some of these new people are making their way to FR.
Although Jim had expressed earlier in the year his concerns about how this primary may have a negative effect on FR, it turns out he need not worry.
For every old timer who's been zotted or self-zotted, fresh new blood is replacing them. With Neil's declaration of dropping financial support, I've seen at least three new FReepers pledging to more than make up for the loss.
I think you have me confused with someone else.
Sorry to see you do this Neil. From a FRiend.
Rabid? You want to talk rapid, let me know when Teddy has taken incoming like the following.
"Fact-checking Donald Trump is like picking up after a dog with diarrhea."
-- Stephen Hayes, Weekly Standard, on Fox News (See "A is for Ape")
"Most of them [Trump supporters] are childless single men who masturbate to anime.
They’re not real and political players. These are not people who matter in the overall
course of humanity."
-- GOP consultant Rick Wilson on MSNBC, reported January 20, 2016
You have your reasons and I’m sorry to see you go.
I only wish you hadn’t fed the beast by using inflammatory terms. Now the beast is feasting on you and your words in retribution to justify their positions and feelings.
Something that up until a couple of months ago I would have thought impossible on FR.
I’m sorry. I missed and thought I was commenting directly to our “good buddy” Neil E. Wright and ended up commenting to you instead. It was a mistake. You are a good Freeper and I apologize.
I made more money during the Obama administration than any other. That doesn't mean I want Obama in office so much as another day, and would have gladly seen him never take office. It isn't just about the money.
bfl
If, by "our" you mean Trump supporters, the answer to your question is "Yes." Think about it. Duh.
Neil,
Sorry to see you go, but don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Getting angry that the candidate you supported lost is silly, getting angry that millions upon millions of people rejected your guy is petty and stupid. I know it makes you feel better to lash out at those who did, try to lump them all into some big insulting pool of just a bunch of morons, but its not true.
Cruz was a weak candidate from the get go, he got beat, just like 16 or 17 other candidates that ran. He got beat decidedly by someone, who like it or not, had a better pulse on the electorate. You can be angry about that, but it doesn’t change anything.
Illegal immigration not even on the radar by Cruz or any of the political class... H1B? Cruz just picked a VP that is one of the more vocal proponents of it. etc etc etc.. Cruz got beat, he wrote a game plan that in another election cycle probably would have worked, and at the end of the day he got beat by someone who didn’t follow the script.
Sadly, Cruz and supporters of his like yourself, are not taking the loss as a learning opportunity and moving on, but are literally lashing out and being childish and petty and down right vindictive in their loss.
You are free to do what you like, but to castigate millions of people as just idiots because for whatever reasons they didn’t vote for your guy is just stupid.
Cruz could have had a bright future even with losing this cycle, he’s young, got plenty of years left... but unfortunately his behaviors and actions have pretty much ensured he’ll never be a serious player on the national stage again. Losses can be tough to swallow, but great folks learn from them, small folks lash out and go bitter over them.
Quite the broad brush you’re flinging around.
And thanks for the invective (caving to liberals).
I’d give a slight edge to Prince with Janice Joplin as his running mate.
Actually, it’s just that most people look at Hilary and Trump and, to quote the beast, “What difference does it make?”
So you would rather have Hillary or Bernie than Cruz? Wow.
Maybe the liberal factions of the Republican Party would rather have a criminal or socialist than a conservative.
Next Opus please be brief. Trump peeple caint read so pretty good.
I suppose that means that they get away with it.
Others say that it sets precedent.
Nothing about this unholy state of affairs will ever be settled to my satisfaction. I can only espouse the notion of going forward, and contending with the aftermath.
At some point the shooting starts, but between this day and that one, I would prefer to fix what others have broke. Fanciful notion indeed, but not as ugly as a bloodbath.
Breaking just now on The Street, Gross domestic product GDP increased a dismal 0.5 percent annual rate, the weakest since the first quarter of 2014. An indicator of a recession before we even get to November because nothing in going to change in the middle of an election cycle. We need jobs for AMERICANS and MANUFACTURING here in America to turn this around, and Carly is the face of everything that is exactly the OPPOSITE of this!
What good are crappy hourly wage jobs and the outsourcing queen Carly? We want real jobs!
STOP CRUZ CARLY!
In the end, principles matter more.
I won't be judged by the company I keep here so much as my life when I have to face the Throne of The Almighty.
Would you surrender your principles to retain your friends?
