I would take a liberal over a sell out any day.
Most people don’t understand the labels.
Sell out: Current GOPe, Demonrats, K Street, CoC, etc. All to our determent.
Conservative: Willing to let the above group rule to prove a point to the GOPe
I Dont Give a F*&%$ Billionaire: F Sell outs the Conservative, well at least some of them are right. That is what I am going to do.
Ideological purity is a stupid test. He believes in 90% of what we do. You are handing it back to the idiotic sell outs for 10%???????
Put down the crack pipe PLEEEEAAASE!!!
You probably won’t fit in well. You recognized that we have a problem. That makes you an enemy of liberalism.
You are right about that. Notice the flap with Kelly tonight. Cruz was getting questions from her wherever. Trump sprang to Twitter and bruised her again while she was trying to skewer Cruz. He has taken Cruz under his wing, a wide wing of protection and education and nurturing. 4 years or 8 years of Trump. Doesn’t matter to me. 8 years of Cruz.... after the Trumpian lessons of how to kick ass and not even have to bother taking names education with his mind... Hell Yeah.
It is gonna be a great America, and not pc crappy broke no freedoms AmeriKa like it is today.
Your strategy of supporting the devil-you-know has resulted in the complete loss of our country and a total collapse of morality. Can you name one national GOP leader whom you can trust?
God offered to withhold His judgment for 10 honest men; your party is worse than Sodom...
Your thoughts were not that cogent
Your tag line may be the only at FR but I have already stated that I am supporting Cruz with time and money.
Some folks like the sound of their own voice even when what they are saying isn’t well thought out or coherent. Rambling may sound smart. It is like filling a blue book for a 101 class
He is not for a VAST increase in H1B visas. Now I understand you completely.
Don’t think about anything to hard it will hurt your head
Look you can disagree all you want. Stop with the name calling. It doesn’t strengthen your argument and makes you sound uneducated
If the American people cannot understand where the ruling class is idiology wise, which I believe they cannot. The next progressive will be as bad as the present one. What I do not understand is the draw to Trump. As progressive as Obama, Trump is as bad for this nation as the standing occupant.
Hello there grey whiskers,
Being an avid fan and student of History and the Period, I just wanted to share that I, for one, feel as though I have just experienced what it might have been like to read one of the great Pamphlets of The Revolutuonary War ~
Yours is a fact-based, Heart, Mind, Courage, and Faith provoking essay, the likes of which, unfortunately, we do not come across often enough in this critical time as a Nation; one that needs to move forward, by relying on our past.
I hoisted my Washington Cruiser Flag (An Appeal To Heaven) months ago, and believing we are still guided by His Divine Providence, am choosing to put all my Faith for the future of this great Country in the answer that He has laid out before us....
Yup, the guy with the combover. Who would have guessed!
Some day, I hope the children of my grandchildren will understand how close we were to the edge, and thank us for our choices ~
Thank you for sharing, God Bless you, and God Bless America ~
“Another GOPe candidate would draw Old Republican Men.”
Not all of us. I for one am done with the GOPe. Won’t vote for anyone but Cruz or Trump.
A great summation of the crap handed down to us by the GOP-e and the “criminal organization masquerading as a political party” known as the Democrats (H/T Michael Walsh - I just love that phrase) for the last few years. And very well written!! Thanks for taking the time to do this, GW.
However, I’m really not getting the same impression of the Donald that you are. I see little evidence that he “loves” America. I do see evidence of his grandiose personality and bellicosity pretty much every time he’s on TV. My impression so far of Trump is that he sees the Presidency as the final jewel in his crown of “look what I’ve done” and thinks that he might as well give it a whirl since what’s a billion here or there?
In short, it seems to me I see similarities between Trump and Obama. Not on their viewpoints, but in the view that they know better than EVERYONE else and we should elect them because they’re wonderful. (I’m exaggerating a bit here for effect.) I fear that instead of getting us back to the rule of Law, as Cruz has pledged to do, Trump will think “hey, that Executive Orders thing works pretty well” and we’ll get another term of a President riding roughshod over our Constitution. We can’t take another four or eight years of that. “A Republic, madam, if you can keep it.” Ben Franklin knew exactly what he was saying, and we’re starting to get down to the wire on that.
Again, thanks for taking the time to write. Well done. (Even if I disagree with your conclusions.)
I also disagree with him on term limits for SCOTUS justices and the flat tax, which is “regressive”—i.e., it hurts the poor more than the rich. He is not as strongly against a path to citizenship as he could be, and he voted for fast track.
He is trapped into the H-1B visas and all the rest because he said he will never change his mind about anything.
A fourfold increase, or an increase of 500 percent. Plus Obama has unilaterally given work visas to all spouses of H-1B visa holders, so they can help take away the jobs of American women, who have been hurt the most by the lack of employment. They will also take the jobs of the other low echelons of employment seekers.
It was said that Cruz should get close to Trump and stab him like Brutus did to Caesar—problem is Cruz is more like Marc Anthony, Caesar’s Friend. When they work together they will be a dynamic Duo.
Who in this world do you actually trust?
Is there going to be a test on this material?
