Sorry for the vanity, but this is getting tiresome to me. The same few posters find any drivel to support Lyin' Ted or any screed to jab Mr. Trump. We all know who they are. What if nobody responds to their attempts to incite? Maybe the threads die out sooner and some of the invectives against one another lessen.
I know that I have been purposely avoiding even reading articles posted by the select few. I have found my blood pressure to be much better once I started ignoring the falling trees.
Whenever one of them does as you pointed out, they show who the die-hard Cruz folks are and we get to rebut them.
It's easy to have a lapse and deem something that is un-Constitutional is right because it seems to make sense in the heat of the moment - remember, there is no "Noble Cause" clause in the Constitution....either you believe in it or you don't. It never promised lack of friction - in fact it guaranteed our right to cause friction.
I have been avoiding them for a couple of months now.
Sure. Personally I think it's pretty childish. That being said, it clearly gets the point across of the person saying it thinking the recipient is a blind sycophant of Mr. Cruz. It doesn't help further the cause of discussion. One of those retorts that invites further flaming. Hopefully it's use becomes outdated.
Just keep pecking at them with insults and they’ll either leave on their own or return fire and get zotted.
Then FR will be closer to a true Trumptopia.
Cruz is useful to them now, to dilute Trump’s votes. When/if that’s a done deal, then Cruz will be kicked to the curb in a heartbeat. It won’t be a question of Trump or Cruz. It’ll be Trump if he gets the 1237. If he doesn’t, it’ll be Jeb or Romney.
That’s delusional....it will 99.99 percent be trump or .01 be Cruz...
Boner has a special hate for Cruz because Cruz made him resign in disgrace for ineffectiveness....same with McConnell it’s just a matter of time for McConnell to resign or retire
Just so. Thanks for simplifying it. :-)
Lol. Yeah, then there is that approach too. Have a good one bud!
——Personally I think it’s pretty childish——
It’s a bit more than that....its demonizing the poster rather than the candidate....
Completely over the top and nothing was done about it...
“Maybe if Trump posters stopped calling Cruz supporters “Cruzlims” if would lower the bar some...”
As opposed to:
Trumpkins
Trumpsters
Trump tramps
Trumpanziees
Trumpoids
Trumpers
Cultists
Followers of a carnival barker
LIVs
Fake conservatives
And all of the other names Cruz people have been using for months that you pretend like you never heard of?
“Yes - because we certainly don’t want any dissenting opinions on a free-thinking conservative site.”
Twice Cruz supporters DEMANDED that JimRob kick off all Trump supporters last December and Jan for no other reason than they weren’t seen as supporting the “right” candidate.
Reeducation, perhaps.
“We don’t want him. Send him back to Canada”
The elite are trying to hoist another non natural born citizen on us, and we should be angry about it. Anyone supporting that end should be ashamed of themselves and should leave us in peace.
Tell Mariner.
What a great idea. And what a good sign of things to come if he's POTUS.
We need to shut up and silence anything about Lyin Ted and/or the stupid Constitution. Who cares about that-We don't need it- It's just more rules anyway-get rid of it. Trump will tell us what to do.
To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
“remember, there is no “Noble Cause” clause in the Constitution...”
Well said
Agree. I have been staying off of those threads for the most part.
I like that people post whatever they want within the posting guidelines. It's what makes the site fun.
What I really dislike are the posts entitled, "The Polling Was Close and Then the Candidate Said THIS" which always guarantees I will NOT click on that post just because.
Alienating Cruz supporters isn’t winning them over to Trump. Childish name calling and flaming isn’t either. This site used to inform, make you think, and challenge opinions. FR is likely to see its base decrease along with donations. Hope it doesn’t though.
Both candidates love America, as do their supporters. I’m pro Cruz even though I know he’s unlikely to win. If that means I don’t belong here after 15 years so be it.
I know a few names, Durbin, GodGutsGuns, libbylu, somebody posted a list on a thread last week.
