Free Republic

"My pick, Marsha Blackburn"

And mine. She has been forever solid in the House. I couldn't wait to see her help with the Senate. I B a dreamer..

"Do they think the Chinese don’t? The lender is the one at risk the day after a dollar is lent and every day thereafter until the debt is repaid."

That's what my dad told me, which became apparent since he told me that growing up in the 30' :) His favorite teaching was "Never be a borrower nor a lender. They are both bad! You may find it very hard to pay or the lender may not pay you." Remember the "Greatest generation". That's why they were. I do believe foreign lenders who have defense arrears can bargain to reduce our NATIONAL DEBT as Mr. Trump has indicated.

"Marsha Blackburn is it. R-TENNESSEE"

I vote for Marsha. If 2 B a woman.. For all the reasons below. I believe she can be groomed and definatly an asset! Plus she is smart enough to be POTUS.

"The USA is sinking, yet Cruz and his gang are worried about which bathrooms people are using deck of the titanic :"

I am convinced, by now, that all these foul potty mouth Cruz supporters flunked potty training 101, and their ?Christian values were learned in bars and not in any church I have attended. Some ppl were born with problems. They should thank the GL if they were not.

"Headline: "Cruz to Win Half Of Pennsylvania's Delegates" Article: "Cruz aide says they're hoping to maybe get some delegates in Pennsylvania, in the same way Kasich's campaign says he'll be the nominee."

I just got a fancy glossy brochure in the mail for my voting district (in PA) with photos of the Cruz family and entitled vote for us as delegates (3). We support Cruz.. Since I support Mr. Trump, I feel they aren't going to respect my vote, at all, at the polls. How did we get so far from "one person, one vote".. and into only the GOP Elite matter.. :(

"...show me where he said its OK for people who think they are so called “transgender” to go to any bathroom ... I think people have deliberately misconstrued what he said..." The real facts are:

1) When ppl have to go, they have to GO.

2) Truly Trangender ppl are "its" more than former men or women. They should be left to their own condition. How many ppl are we talking about anyway?. Have some compassion Cruzers and stop evil #Never Trumping. One person said that men shouldn't take their daughters into a men's bathroom.. I did many times in the malls while with my daughters and granddaughters.. I certainly couldn't take them into the Woman's BR. Some ppl here don't seem to have a real life.

God Bless!

"Even Dr. Carson addressed the mother’s life exception, and with modern medicine it’s really not even an issue anymore."

He is correct. But intervention is not inexpensive. Mr. Trumps policy statement is fairly good and is in progress for the General Election. It is his TEAM effort and is being refined. Compare "Life of the Mother" to the Left's "Health of the Mother". Health (including mental) accounts for 90 % of the abortions. Another refinement is the LIFE of the mother should be signed off on by a certified OBGYN. Shame on evil Cruz ppl for trying to destroy good intentions. The woman & family, affected, can be let it up to their conscience. (With sadness.)

God Bless!

"Love all the red hats and signs. I’ve noticed that there are always people in the audience with white or blue hats, too; but, the red ones show up so much better!">

From Pgh. eastern suburb. Mine is RED and my wifes WHITE. Couldn't go.. bad cold. :(

"Word on the street is RNC needs Trump for money. Funds have dried up."

It is the stupid stupid model they use to raise funds. I HATE the constant telephone calls all day long and the incessant clogging of my E-Mail accounts. I prefer to listen to those wearing a pin, showing a bumper sticker, or yes, buying a Trump cap or the good ppl on FR.

I hate to feed all the blood $ucker$ including the media, who end up with the fund$ for no good reason!

Yes. He does kind things and does not broadcast them. Not a narcissist at all. ==========================

Typical of a Presbyterian Christian. Not unlike myself. No guitars or bongo drums, or bragging about it. Members are of the "Frozen Chosen", Just humble followers of the Great I AM!.

We study hard, we work humbly in the World.

"Might be a good idea to go to Apollo (Pa) too!"

Yep!, celebrate the moon landing every year, parade, and fireworks too..

<"Fundamentally the only sources of wealth are to • Extract it - fishing, forestry, mining and drilling • Grow it - farming • Manufacture it - from resources extracted or grown • Transport it - from where it is to where it is needed Taking in each others laundry (also known as a service economy) doesn’t create wealth, it just spreads it thinner and thinner until it is all gone."/>

EXACTLY what I was taught many years ago. Another might be knowledge based ideas that can be used and/or sold. Also I was taught that to improve a local ecomomy, such items be sold outside of one's locality to increase local wealth.

'And the Feds will withhold highway funds until they comply. Game over. States have zero independence now.'

Hmm.. And those fuel moneies that fund the HTF are collected by the States and forwarded to the Feds. Escro account til after the Election, perhaps?

'So whatever else it is, it’s the law now. So after the moaning in over maybe the GOP could provide legislation for Romney’s revisions and start moving the ball.'

Actually, it was the law the minute Obomba signed it. It was simply not rescinded, though challenged, through the supreme kangaroo court as it certainly souldav been.

“In addition, even if a million of these cars were sold, we would still need ELECTRCITY to charge them!”

'That’s ok, you just plug the cars in, and free electricity comes out of the outlets like magic.'

Not only that! Seems most electrical utilities frown on Peak Daylight usage and put in "Demand Meters" which boosts elecric cost at a BIG increased rate for peak hours use. Places using electrical welders etc.. Maybe doesn't apply to solar panels and windmills and smart grids..?? WhatdaI know :)

Removing Pelosi from her fleet of planes flown at American expense will save millions of dollars. Her private flying circus is about to be grounded.

Better then that! I can sleep better knowing she is not third in line for the Presidency... +++

"If Boehner introduced a flat fair tax bill forcing dems to vote against it, pubbies would win everything next time around." A flat tax would be easier right now. On EVERY dollar earned from EVERYBODY. Enough of half of the Country not paying and voting away the other half's rights and money.

If Russia can do it so should our Congress. This would not require a Constitutional amendment. Maybe a "Fair Tax" later?? Fair

I imagine they have his skin under her nails, blood on his clothes, date rape drugs found in her car and possibly her gambling winnings used for his escape.. But wadda I know.. I think there is enough to send him to the WORST Peruvian prison that their justice makes possible..

“20 MPG x 10,400 = 208,000 miles I would have to travel before I would break even between a vehicle that claims 230MPG and mine that gets 20MPG…This doesn’t include the cost of charging the Volt nor the cost of replacing the batteries. Did I miss something?”

Not much.. but my Caravan also holds 7 passengers and a whole buncha “stuf”.. and the air conditioning is a definate plus on hotish days.. Nice to hook up a U-Haul behind when you need more stuf to go..

Also efficient lightweight batteries have a definite short life and major restrictions on deep discharges.. I wonder how much of the $40,000 is battery/replace cost? I bet replacement is a bear compared to the OEM cost...

“I’ll bet you start seeing people plugging their electric cars in at closed businesses, vacant houses, empty churches and other places to get “free” electricity, rather than at their own home or workplace. This will cause a security nightmare for millions of places. Doesn’t this Chevrolet Volt charge in about half an hour?”

The electrical connection would be more like your 30 ampere, 230 volt drier connection and not a lamp type receptacle. 30 amps x 230 volt would give about 7 kilowatt per hour. and if you want to store about 10 horsepower-average for 3 hour trip.. then it would take approximately 3 hours or more to charge up.. If you could find a 60 ampere outlet.. it would take a minimum of 1-1/2 hours.. Wives will appreciate the extra mall shopping time.. :)

BTW: The Toshiba hybrid gets regular 50-60 MPG in even hilly terrains, from gasoline, and uses NO external electrical power Cheating.
