So, is he "The One" who will bring sanity back to the nation, or is he the next "Ross Perot"? We do see him arguing vociferously about a birth certificate. He is hemming and hawing about running for office and his numbers place him second in the running to the king of RINO's Mitt Romney. Conservatives all over the internet are grinning like possums eating bumble bees and somehow Mr. Trump finds himself on every liberal talk show. From The View, to an MSNBC interview, "The Donald" is making his case that Obama is a "scam artist" and that "his investigators" are in Hawaii with "unbelievable" findings.
But what do we already know about "The Donald" and why should he garner Tea Party votes, let alone the Republican nomination? He has never held public office of any kind so he has no public track record other than bilking others for every red cent he could; including the tax payer. If he is running as a conservative, what his his position on abortion? What would his foreign policy be towards the middle east? Israel? Taxes and our tax system? Who would his appointments be to our supreme court? Who would he bring in as cabinet appointments? Is there any track record at all for Republicans or conservatives to judge by?
Let's look at recent business associations. His television show is an NBC product. NBC is run by Jeffrey Immelt, an Obama sycophant and corporate thief who used this administration to enrich himself and his company from the American tax payer. His show employs Gary Busey, a known Jew-hater. He produced the "Miss USA" pageant and I am sure, just by coincidence, rewarded his pageant winner Rina Fakih with the title despite her open support for Hezbollah. Oh, and a co-sponsor of his Miss USA pageant is Farouk Shami who proudly celebrated the fact that his father murdered many Jews. Then, of course, there are Mr. Trump's large business interests in that nice not-so-Jew-friendly place Dubai.
Ah, but all of this could just be "The Donald"'s pursuit of the almighty dollar at work. It could just be coincidence. What about his political affiliation? He has said in recent interviews that his political affiliation is Republican. But then, he has also stated that he believes that George Bush is the worst President in US history. In 1998 he openly discussed running for president as a Republican. That would mean he would have run against.... um.... George Bush. In 1999 he switched from Republican Party to the Reform Party and has switched back. Imagine that, he might have run against the Republicans to... well... split the vote.
And so, that brings us to the troubled presidency of Borat Insane Obama. Just as the wheels are coming off the cart of his presidency, just as it might prove hard to fund raise, just as his foreign policy blunders are piling up, the budget is blowing up, the price of oil climbing to historical highs. Just as all the lies are being replayed over and over again... The Donald comes in and screams... "Birth Certificate" and blows all Obama stupidity and malfeasance off the first story on MSNBC and puts in a rodeo clown to wave a red cape in front of the "mad bulls" in the conservative movement to change the argument.
Voila! The fund raising letters go out this week. Obama is filling up fund raisers in New York and San Francisco at $36K per head. Now, to be fair, it wasn't Donald who they are quoting, but the timing is extremely suspicious- and Mr. Chump.. er Trump has played this act before. As just stated in 1999... but also in 2008. Oh and I forget- there are pictures donating to Rahm Emanuel's campaign in Chicago. Replete with the obligatory campaign photo.
And then there is an article in US news asking the same question, "Is Donald Trump a Democratic Sleeper Agent?". Then there was his meeting with 20 Blue Dog DemocRATs in New York earlier this year. So could it be? Maybe a sleeper agent. But then again, maybe a megalomaniac. Maybe he is making some sort of business deal.
Maybe we are all just being "Ross Perot"'d.
I don't look for it to be reversed and am so weary with the taunts, "Republicans only care about babies before they are born" and "if you are so pro-life, why don't you adopt or contribute to raising a baby?" STFU. I've helped my own family except this last one I can't and don't want to help. I have helped with bailing out, but as long as she has the deadbeat father living with her, I don't want my help going to him.
She asked me if I'd do her taxes. I said you need last year's return. Couldn't find it. Well see if you can find your bank deposit for the refund, surely you got one. Or if you have to you can get one from the IRS. So I go through her return, paid one job with a 1099-MISC so her employer doesn't have to pay their half of FICA and file quarterly (a church), she has to pay self employment tax on that income and is filing as a business as day care (she's not even licensed for day care!), in that case she could have taken mileage if she'd kept track of it just for that job, and could take depreciation on her car (she has two, neither worth anything). Oh well, "I don't mind paying self-employment, I'll get more ss when I get my disability." Then there's a make work pay form. Then there's an earned income credit form. Then when I saw where she put her deadbeat son's father on her intake form as a dependent, I simply blew up, said he'd lived twelve months the past year (she lied to me about that and think she lied on the form, too). I noticed whoever did her return didn't claim the boyfriend as a dependent. And there's a code for day care on Sch C-EZ but the preparer put in 99999999999, obviously done with a computer program probably doesn't matter. Of course her child is a dependent.
So off I go on the internet, looking for answers. It appears she indeed can claim the bf as a dependent so long as he didn't make so much in unemployment. I can hardly bring myself to talk to her I'm so mad. With her low income, her taxes go in the negative, and the government pays her, it's not really even a refund.. I had to work my tail off to raise her and her two siblings. My father, "no daughter of mine is going to be on welfare", so I went back to school, got a job, and my father would pitch in so we could have a little better standard of living. Bless his memory.
Sorry, I have a terrible time with grudges. He beat her and got her baby taken away from her, then they gave him back. He's a Chicago thug who was a heroin addict and is an alcoholic, cost thousands in rehab.
So sorry about the rant, nobody to talk to. Do I wish she had gotten an abortion like she wanted? NOOOOOOOOOOO! Even if my bi-racial grandchild is a slow learner. If I were younger, I would at least try to babysit more. He's difficult, most picky eater I ever saw, but really cute and sweet when he's not whining. My daughter does take him places and is the best one to help me when I need it which is more now. She likes to help people and lets them take advantage of her, anything but face her own problems.
Back to Trump, who knows if he's sincere or not. I never liked him so didn't pay much attention. now I like a lot of what he's saying, but like another poster put it, "is he a Trojan Horse?"
I'm listening to Jesse Ventura on C2C. I'll bet he's thinking on throwing his hat, there he just said it, "I want the top job." Why not be a Republican? "I've been an Independent my whole life." Fiscally conservative and social liberal.
Oh boy, are we in for wild ride. But I think Obama's boat is being seriously rocked. OMG. "I would wish to become a benevolent dictator." I feel kind of bad about my long rant, have insomnia, and it's tax time, so this is what is is for some people so it's kind of relevant but didn't mean to hijack your thread, just triggered something.
Right there one has to ask why is that?
What if he gets Obama reelected?
Another Body Blow… Trump Goes After Obama’s Close Ties to Crook Rezko
Gateway Pundit ^ | 4/12/11
Posted on Mon Apr 11 22:38:53 2011 by My Favorite Headache
The RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement” back in 2008.
http://youtu.be/Aj4_rtyfFu8
The ad revealed Barack Obama’s dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko.
This great ad described Obama’s relationship with the Chicago crook. Unfortunately, the left-wing media didn’t do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the 2008 campaign.
Today Donald Trump went after Obama’s close ties to convicted criminal Tony Rezko. IB Times reported:
President Obama “never did a deal in his life except with Tony Rezko,” said Donald Trump on Fox News.
“People should look into that one,” he added.
Trump once again went on the offensive against Obama. His previous point of attack was doubts over Obama’s birthplace. Now, it’s the latter’s long history with Tony Rezko, who Hillary Clinton in 2008 called a “slum landlord.”
Rev White...pick up the courtesy phone...your 15 mins of fame is not over...
Whatever he’s up to, it’s amusing but I’ve been suspicious from the beginning of his “birther” awakening. He’s up to something that stinks on ice. I’d bet the farm on it.
He’s distracting from all the Obama negatives onto an issue most voters don’t care about. Plus, if Obama produces a birth certificate at the last second, that will be the issue.
Sometimes the smart thing to do is to capitalize on the situation and not nit pick over the nonsense.
Now is the time to raise very legitimate questions and push very legitimate issues in order to strike out at Obama. Nobody knows what Trump wil be doing a year from now but you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to figure out what would be best to do today.
In my universe, Donald Trump is a liberal. Not only is he pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment, and wants the American taxpayer to pay for universal health care, he's been married three times, bankrupt many times, donates to Democrats, picks fights in public with other idiot celebrities, and is incredibly vain if the dead rodent on his head and orange skin are any indication. Sounds like every other celebrity out there, doesn't he?
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and has a dead duck stapled to it's spray tan orange head, it's a duck.
Donald Trump is pro-abortion:
I support a woman’s right to choose, but I am uncomfortable with the procedures. When Tim Russert asked me on Meet the Press if I would ban partial-birth abortion, my pro-choice instincts led me to say no. After the show, I consulted two doctors I respect and, upon learning more about this procedure, I have concluded that I would support a ban.

Donald Trump supports strict gun control:
I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record.
Source: The America We Deserve, by Donald Trump, p.102 Jul 2, 2000
Donald Trump supports taxpayer funded universal health care:
I’m a conservative on most issues but a liberal on health. It is an unacceptable but accurate fact that the number of uninsured Americans has risen to 42 million. Working out detailed plans will take time. But the goal should be clear: Our people are our greatest asset. We must take care of our own. We must have universal healthcare.

"Brody File Exclusive: Donald Trump Explains Pro-Life Conversion"
Then there’s his record of political donations. By 59%-61% Democrat, but the only Republicans he’s funded have been closet Democrats, like Crist, Specter, and Kirk:
http://blogs.forbes.com/brendancoffey/2011/04/07/trumps-political-donations-are-left-leaning/
Sounds a LOT like Romney. I’m waiting for Ann Coulter’s endorsement.
We can let Trump do the BC heavy lifting for Hillary without concern that he could mount a significant third party campaign. He is too smart to waste his time, money and reputation on such a fool's errand.
I think he’s HRC’s beard. Helps her knock out Zero but Republicans get the blame. That’s the only way she can take power. If she knocks out Zero, blacks stay home on election day.
“Is “The Donald” the conservative Trump card- or playing us as “Chumps for Trump”
I think so.
Another poster has written that Trump is a spoiler.
Personally, I think he is a narcissist but the effect is the same.
Whether he is this or he is that would not be a factor if “the people” where not so clueless as to what makes a president and from what groups of people presidential candidates should be drawn.
Try as I might, I can’t see egotistical, self-promoting, attention seeking, real estate billionaires as being one of those groups.
Although there is no job in the world that can adequately prepare a person to be president, my personal preference for the top executive post is successful, multi-term governors from large states.
(And no, I would not support “Arnold” for president even if he were constitutionally able to run. As governor of California, he was a doormat for the Democratic legislature and spineless witness to his state’s bankruptcy and decline. He was hardly a success.)
That’s what I think, too. He contributed to Rahm, his agent is Rahm’s brother and Rahm was allied with the Clintons and seemed to have fallen out with Obama by the time he left the White House. He didn’t start this crusade until just after Rahm won his mayoral election in Chicago.
Also note that he just brought up Rezko, whom Hillary unsuccessfully tried to make an issue in 2008.
I don’t know how much this is being done to promote Hillary but I bet it is being done with the quiet cooperation of her and her husband.
Nevertheless, he is doing wonderfjl things now by calling attention to these issues and at least as this phase I wish him every success.
If Romney is the GOP candidate (having attacked Gov Palin
AND her children during Election2008 FOR Obama),
then no conservatives will vote for him anyway.
