One thing this campaign season has showed us is who are actual conservatives and who are the cynical opportunists with no values beyond their own bottom line. One of the biggest offenders is Sean Hannity. I’ve never thought that Hannity was the sharpest tool in the shed BUT I had always admired his work ethic, his hustle, and I considered him to be “one of us.” Now there is evidence otherwise. I don’t like quoting ThinkProgress, but, in this case, the odious Judd Legum hits the nail on the head:
Trump has appeared on Hannity an astonishing 41 times since he announced his campaign last June, often for the entire hour.
Isn’t about time to ZOT Redstate.com? This is just an anti Trump propaganda site.
This hit piece on Hannity is just BOGUS! Hannity has had ALL the candidates (who would agree to come on), on his radio show multiple times.
Now it’s mostly Trump and Cruz, the only two with a chance to win. If he has Trump on “for the full hour”, he also has Cruz on “for the full hour”. Fair and balanced.
As far as his style and not “making news” goes, it’s intentional! He let’s the candidates talk and make their political points. He doesn’t have them on to attack them or play “gotcha”. His stated (over and over again, from the beginning of the campaign season) was to give his listeners access to ALL the candidates and their various views.
He has done so, NOT JUST TRUMP! I heard a show where Ted Cruz, was non stop Trump bashing, and was telling lie after lie about Trump. I was getting pissed at Sean for letting Cruz blatantly get away with it (it really was “over the top”), but you know what, he was just doing what he did with everyone else, which was to allow all the candidates to make whatever points they wanted to.
So this article is just LIES! DECEPTION! AGENDA DRIVEN TRASH! As is EVERYTHING from this rag.
Erick Erickson is a JERK! He has gone rogue. Conservative my A$$! It’s time to block the drivel from this traitor’s website.
Following the Jan Morgan link it led me to this site that lists TONS of “tweets of endorsements” for Trump. It’s quite a list. Just keep paging down past the smaller tweets to save time. It’s a LONG impressive list.
Ping.
From what law school did you and the "post and email" editors graduate, the Matchbook Cover Mail Order School of Law and Fantasy?
As to your six numbered paragraphs, they are simply recycled bushwah from The Don who is on autowhine as he continually fails basic political competence tests and blames his every failure on "conspiracies" and "others." Just like the emotional four-year-old that he is. Of course, most four-year-olds are classy enough to avoid public discussion of male genital size (no show and tell SO FAR, thank God) or of blood coming out of Megyn Kelly's "whatever." He sure showed her what happens to those who refuse to worship the false god TRUMP!!!! uncritically. And unintentionally reminded us of what a gentleman was Ronaldus Maximus (and even Bush the Elder, and Bush the Younger and I am no fan of ANYTHING named Bush either) by comparison.
Boasting, autobluster, bragging, bullying, ignorance, lazy inattention to rules, contempt for any and all rivals, political bribes to leftists like Rahm Emmanuel (just the cost of doing business), ignorance of the constitution, a lifelong history of supporting the babykillers, supporting at least SOME gun control, supporting "gay" and "transgendered" everything, not caring about foreign policy, calling Ben Carson a child molester, Ted Cruz a "liar," Marco Rubio "Little Marco" and (ritually for Donald) a "Liar."
It seems that anyone not prostrating him or herself before The Donald's Guccis is therefore automatically a liar. The elderly woman (and CONSERVATIVE) who owns the Chicago Cubs had "better watch out" when she funds an anti-Trump PAC (apparently a threat to "out" her "gay" son whom everyone in Chicago already KNOWS is "gay"). Threats to sue anyone and everyone who dares disagree with him.
That's your candidate. That's your candidate. And the beat goes on!
National Enquirer scandals???? Now there is a reliable source especially since owned by a Trump loveslave who has endorsed him. If, like the Donald, your only strength is mudslinging, you need some pros on your payroll and Trump has some. If only he paid as much attention to rules as he does to scandal. If only he would mind his manners.
Of course, a lot of Trump's own life has been lived in the pages of the supermarket tabloid scandal sheets. As you can see from his campaign style, they are his natural habitat. Sleazicus Americanus and, in the dictionary, Trumps face right next to that term. environment.
If a tabloid published old nude photos of his lovely wife Melania (captioned as "the girl he left behind") and separate pictures of Trump and Kim Kardashian leaving some swank hotel separately, the suggestion would be another Trump marriage ruined by his voracious lusts. That it would be sheer fantasy does not matter in Trumpworld. What matters is public perception. Are there those who would be jealous of him allegedly sleeping with an ordinary woman "enhanced" by 75 pounds of strategically injected silicone? How would it affect his campaign? Will other women see him as a 70 year old superstud? Do they still actually care?
Nah, all that is sooooo 20th century. Better to trash "Lyin' Ted (who Trump never tires of caricaturing as having a Bible in his hands while "lying"). Maybe Trump's own relationship with the Holy Scriptures is sooooo distant that he is heading off that charge at the pass by attacking Cruz's religion (which is not mine).
The "summons" was a stupid blunder by Cruz and/or his people (i falls on Cruz in any event) but I doubt any voter in Iowa is actually so brain dead as to imagine going to jail for not voting. This is the Manhattan Trump's New York values oozing through in that he apparently believes Iowa to be populated by a bunch of rubes akin to the strait-laced old farm couple in the "American Gothic" painting by Grant Wood.
Let's revise your #2 to reality: BELIEVING the CNN report that Dr. Carson was about to quit, a report based on nothing but Dr. Carson's travel plans, Cruz operatives were competent enough to move right in and ask Carson's voters to vote for Cruz. The same would have happened if CNN reported that Trump was dropping out. Its called competence. Nothing wrong there.
Your #3: Supporting The Donald as you do, do you REALLY want to get into these wild-eyed allegations about Ted Cruz's father and his religion? If true, they make Cruz the Elder sound nuttier than a fruitcake. OTOH, your boy claims to be a Christian but that he has NEVER in 70 years of life had occasion to repent any sin? He may or may not consider himself a Christian despite plenty of evidence to the contrary but he definitely stayed at Holiday Inn Express last night (just like on the pro-life issue).
Revise #4: Brilliant lawyer who IS an NBC eligible for POTUS or VPOTUS. No court has or will rule otherwise. Poor Birthers! Poor Birchers! Foiled again! If Alan Dershowitz says (and he does) that Cruz is the single most brilliant student Dershowitz has ever taught, what are your or Trump's credentials to disagree with that assessment?
Revise #5: Makes campaign videos against various opponents (probably) and is accused by the opponents as "lying" as to anything they with which want the public to disagree. Most Americans recognize this as something called "politics." Oh, the scandal!!!! A candidate for office who resorts to politics!!!! Horrors!
#6: There was no legitimate excuse for publishing the old near nude photos of Melania Trump. They were from so long ago that she was likely not even acquainted with Trump, a lovely young woman from Eastern Europe trying to make it as a model and needing to grab attention in a very competitive business. She has conducted herself as a perfect lady during this campaign, is not a political player, is no longer a model, is now a dignified wife and mother and ought to be left alone. I wish her well, have never seen the photos and never will. This was more low class behavior, in this instance, apparently by Cruz operatives who should be ashamed of themselves.
I don't know whether Rafael Cruz was jailed under Batista. If so, it was understandable since he had joined Castro's revolution. Shortly after Castro seized power, Rafael Cruz joined revolutionary movements against Castro who then had him jailed and TORTURED by the communists.
That means you are batting 1 for 7 or have a batting average of just under .143 and spring training is over and you are going back to the Rookie League or being placed on irrevocable waivers and released.
Something about OTHER PEOPLE’S free speech bothering you, Bunky?
Only because you use the term (appropriately) so often, it is spelled ideologUE not ideolog. I am a conservative ideologue and, after Walker dropped out, have supported Cruz. IF Trump somehow is nominated, I will vote for him because Hillary IS the biggest threat. I would rather be voting for Walker but I don’t always get what I want.
Thanks for the correction. For some reason my phone is spelling it that way. I will be voting for the nominee also. The threat is from the left.
I think your observations are essentially correct. If I could get a candidate that’s a little of Trump, minus some of the bombast, and a little of Cruz’s devotion to the constitution, minus the Elmer Gantry, I’d be a happy camper.
Absolutely!

She appears in this thread as a mystery woman causing mayhem... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3420281/posts
Thanks! I believe this is precisely what happened there.
I think you are correct. But I don't think they are going to be "destroying" what's left of the Republican Party. It is like an organism with cancer. The GOP is still a viable party, but it has a sickness that has to be cut out. Most of us didn't realize the sickness was so deep. That has been exposed in its entirety now. What has to be "destroyed" is the "establishment/cancer" inside the "Party of Lincoln!".
