Well Mike Tyson, before you get into the ring, you might wanna realize 'Cruzer' isn't a slur.

You keep saying that "Cruzer" is not a slur, "I do not think it means what you think it means"...

I'll translate:

I can label myself a "POS", and puff my chest out while proclaiming proudly that I'm a "POS".

Other people will give me funny looks. :)

The "Cruzers" are associated with the worst elements on Free Republic, currently. The Palin insults were flung by a lot of the leading "Cruzers".

Funny they seemed to be OK with Palin endorsing Ted Cruz for his Senate seat...

Thank God we live in a country where we can challenge each other without a jail sentence or a bullet through our head.

That's ONLY because we're anonymous users on an online forum!

Er...no.

Cruzer has always meant one thing. Cruz to victory. You can pretend it means something else all you like. You can make it a slur if you like. We embrace it. And what Trump fans think isn’t a concern anyway.

Now if you wish to go full leftist and redefine words, be my guest.

Cruz had my crack baby when he was a streetwalking junkie. Is that better?

Well except for you leaving out the part where Trump was dealing the crack and that's why he is so rich! 8^{ )

So far all I have gotten in response from the most, I was gonna say rabid, but I’ll moderate to passionate that I have postulated the same to, is a third grade level “well they started it”, so good luck.

I don’t recall people back in 1980 questioning Reagan’s conservatism. Just about everything about Trump is questionable. I really hope he’s not lying to get elected, but I won’t be surprised if he is.

Yes please do ask me about it. Ask me about how I DIRECTLY QUOTED (in bold below) a trump supporter...who used to despise trump and then I asked what caused the change of heart. As a matter of fact, here, I'll post it again, and please tell me what is objectionable (I've redacted the name of the trump supporter, but you can look it up yourself via the link I provided):

Well, xx, perhaps this time you’ll choose to answer the questions:

On this thread from 2011: Meet Donald Trump, Sudden Right-Wing Conservative: Contributions, Abortion, Health Care, and Taxes

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2700816/posts

You said the following about St. Donald: “Paying bribes to pols is one thing, touting them for president, as he did with Hillary, is quite another thing. What about the rest of the facts, that are in this article? That man nothing at all to you either? What about his disgusting personal life? 21 posted on 4/6/2011, 9:53:33 PM by xxxxxxxx”

AND then theres this gem:

“Here’s a news flash for ya................Trump can’t beat Obama! Trump would be even WORSE than Barry! He’s Clintonian re morals, worse than Barry re taxes, and far worse than Hoover re tariffs. Because he has donated to more Dems than GOPers, is personal friends of the Clintons (he wanted Hillary to be president! ), has mob ties, his SCOTUS picks would be a disaster, as would his other appointments. 27 posted on 4/6/2011, 10:00:37 PM by xxxxxxxxxx”

Where are his foundations supporting conservative causes? Where are his contributions to veterans. Care to explain? You’ve done a wonderful job of explaining all of our concerns about Trump.

Now tell me what did I SAY that was objectionable?

And for the record, I apologized to Jim, not for the post, there was nothing to apologize for, but rather that his thread was probably not the most appropriate place. Now seriously....read the bold, read the italics...what did I say that was ugly?

I’m willing to end it, providing Trump supporters admit they are A BUNCH OF TOTAL IDIOTS who don’t GIVE A DAMN about conservatism.

Then all will be fine.

Not true Bob...for my part anyhow....I just want trump supporters to provide SOME shred of evidence that the man has any actual sincerely held conservative beliefs. Something that is not just him flapping his gums.

Ultimately it comes down to this, I think...trump supporters, for whatever their various reasons are, are willing to take him at his current word. Anti-trumpers do not have that faith, we look at empirical evidence that all points elsewhere.

You can pretend it means something else all you like.

Hey, just reporting what I read.

The "vile Trumpkins" were using it in lieu of ***holes, out of politeness, I suppose.

My gosh - you people don't even realize how stridently obnoxious you are!

There's NOTHING worse than a True Believer.

I don't pretend that Trump is anything other than a gamble. I don't go around trying to FORCE other posters into voting for Trump by slurring Ted Cruz [well, I haven't slurred Calgary Cruz until today. I'm still not going to try to force posters to vote for Trump].

Just dang.

Maybe some of us feel that way because when shown documented facts not favorable to DT, many Trump supporters do everything in their power to divert the issue, go on at length about something Cruz did instead, and post pictures like this was 4chan and not an adult populated forum.

So in short, if people want to act in ways that show idiocy, they should not have tantrums about being thought of and looked upon, as idiots.

Nice one, BobL.

This has ALL started when Cruz and Trump started going at each other, just a few weeks ago we were all on board with the two of them being on the same ticket!! ANYONE remember that??? Then of course Levin, and Rush got involved and we ALL started blowing up at each other!!! What is to say that Trump and Cruz STILL won’t be on the same ticket why can’t we all still hope for that and maybe work for that???

So, I wonder how Calgary Cruz is going to wiggle out of that little "Constitutional Opportunist" trap thingee his mouth seems to have gotten him into?

I wonder if he could debate himself on the issue?

I imagine "Cruz to Victoria, BC" Ted would win that one...

Someone too stupid to understand basic civics. Why do you ask?

BTW, thanks for reinforcing my point about fanatical Trump supporters.

Jim called a ceasefire, and the "Cruzers" started lobbing mortar shells in from the Canadian Gaza Strip almost immediately.

They're True Believers, like the Islamofascists, and they're gonna FORCE us ALL to like Cruz, and vote for Cruz.

Which I was going to do, before they started in on Palin.

The gloves are off. :)
