This has been posted several times, although the titles vary between the above and “An Open Letter To Mark Levin.”
Good piece. Telling the reality of it.
Seems like the only viable candidate who is NOT OWNED by ANYONE, is ..... TRUMP!
Ted Cruz never donated to the Clintons, never supported abortion or gay marriage or single payer or a wealth tax.
And never accomplished anything in the senate other then TPA I might add.
No moderators around. I don’t blame them as the collective IQ here has dropped during the Trump/Cruz 400 round boxing match.
There’s 3 people who know who this woman is, and none of them will read this endless crap.
Actually I did not know that. I just assumed that evey liberal rag in Iowa was in cruz’s corner by default. That assumption is correct 99%, well 97% now, of the time.
And an unowned Trump is free to be the worthless Leftist he is. Except Trump is owned by the megabanks propping up his real estate holdings in any case.
Or has never been endorsed by the Daily Stormer.
Trump’s donations to leftist politicians accomplished a lot, right? Pelosi, Clinton Schumer got elected and got the Repubs to approve more big govt.
Thats a good Conservative record trump has/s
Trump also donated to Ted Cruz. Guess what? Ted took it!
Yep. "Liquidated our family assets" sounded a lot better to voters than "took a million dollar loan from Goldman-Sachs".
I started to debunk this trash on another thread and had to stop because it is so laughably pathetic.
Here’s how far I got:
1. First of all, who is this person really, and why should I give a crap? If they have to spend the first part of their letter establishing bona fides, it means that they are essentially a nobody. If they were someone whose opinion I should care about, I would probably already know their name. But let’s put that aside and get to substance...
2. “ And who can dispute that the [(D)onald] has taste?†Uh... ostentatious display of wealth is not necessarily taste. So, this subjective observation is wildly misaligned with my view of “taste.â€
3. “Would ANY of us prefer the Obama family over the Trump family?†Wait - which family? His first, second, or third family? Obama may be an asshat, but at least he’s maintained a core family. So, bad play on this line.
4. “One thing I know for certain and without any reservation whatsoever – Mr. Trump LOVES this country, and dare I say, he is IN LOVE with this country.†Hah. No. He is in love with himself and money. He loves the fact that this country allows him to make money hand-over-fist and use the laws to run away from a bad business deal with no real long term consequences.
5. “The real shame is this: Mr. Trump has been a VERY, VERY generous donor to the GOP, the RNC, the RNCC, and most every other Republican committee in this country.†Ha. Replace “Republican/GOP/RNC†with “democrat†and you’ll find that the statement still holds true. Trump donates to ANYONE to expand his ability to self-aggrandize. “And when I say donate, I mean he wrote many different checks for $30,000.00 each.†Like the $100k to the Clinton foundation?
6. “I would like everyone who is reading this to please watch this video of Donald Trump, from 1988…†Ohhh... sweet. We’re pulling up videos from as far back as 1988! Let’s take some more recent clips, shall we: https://youtu.be/rcUCLwWCihE
7. “After all, if you take away all those “subsidized†jobs, we will end up subsidizing those folks in the welfare system.†Sigh. This person talks like a democrat. The *government* must provide the solution! We must subsidize one way or another. Seriously? You consider this a good open letter?
8. Ah - now we get to the rub! BIG OIL! Eeeeevil big oil! Holy crap - are we sure this person isn’t a member of Greenpeace? Let’s be clear about the difference between “big oil†and “ethanol,†shall we? Big oil subsidies are tax breaks. Guess what? If you start at the root, we as conservatives *shouldn’t be supporting the tax in the first place.* As I posted fairly recently on FR, corporate taxes are a fraud. Companies don’t pay them. They are a cost passed on to consumers. So, when you talk about “subsidizing big oil†what you really mean is “subsidizing the tax payers who will ultimately carry the cost anyway.†Second, the reason big oil “subsidies†are large in comparison is a matter of SCALE. Oil is a much, much bigger industry than ethanol, so naturally, if you give them a tax break it will result in a larger overall dollar figure. Third, ethanol has a frickin’ government mandate for bogus “green†reasons. THEN the government subsidizes. That’s straight up bullcrap. If ethanol is better, let it compete on the free market. So, all of these arguments that Lauren Stephens makes are straight out of the liberal playbook. Nice to know where we are coming from...
9. “So let us not forget it was Cruz who fired the first shot by speaking so horribly of Trump in the undercover audio, which was later released to the public.†LOL! Laughable, at best. “So horribly!†LOL. Did you actually listen to the audio? What a joke! Right away, this writer has lost all credibly right here!
OK, ok.. I have to stop right here, because anyone who classifies THAT audio as “so horribly†is *obviously* delusional. Seriously, completely, and irrevocably delusional. How can you take ANYTHING this writer says seriously after that comment?
(I did read through the rest, but I’m stopping commenting because it’s futile at this point. I could tear the rest of the post up, but why bother? This writer has no credibility left. I might as well write on essay on why Bernie Sanders is wrong.)
I read it and she makes several good points.
The case normalized homosexuality nationwide, and as Scalia said in his dissent, would lead to homosexual marriage.
So, no...it's not what Cruz did do.
It's what he DIDN'T.
Based on Trumps remarks today in Iowa, Ted has a better chance of being Hillary’s running mate than he has of being Donald’s choice for VP. Trump is very upset about the lies regarding his use of eminent domain.
and I don’t blame him.
And Cruz never took money from Soros. Donald Trump took $168 Million from George Soros.
This primary season it’s all about fear, uncertainty and doubt. FUD. Seems to work very well in politics.
