Indeed !
If they do a third party run, it may be an educational experience for them because I strongly suspect they will fare worse than the Libertarians at the polls, a LOT worse!
It may be the first time we have witnessed the trash taking ITSELF out!
The Republican party was born in the first place because an already existing party, the Whigs, nominally the “conservatives” of their day (as opposed to Jacksonian Democrats), could not, or would not, take a moral stance in regards to the festering problem of slavery in the US at the time, with a balanced number of states that authorized the keeping of slaves, and those states in which it was prohibited. Not everybody in the “slave states” kept slaves, but everybody in the “free states” could not keep slaves at all. Serious problems arose, should a slave escape from his master and make his way to a “free” state. Keep him free, or send him back? Made for some interesting Supreme Court decisions, and just one more example of why the law is never “settled”.
Wow, you’re a class of ‘97! Don’t see many of y’all around here anymore. Class of ‘98 here. Welcome to the thread and I share your sentiments.
Whether Trump or Cruz come out on top, the GOPe is done.
We The People have spoken:
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
All right you will not be voting.....but you will not be supporting him then tonight.
If he would have pick someone other than GH Bush we probably would never been in this position
Amen to that! Praise the Lord & pass the ammo!
Give me LIBERTY or give me DEATH!
lol
Frankly, I’ll be surprised if the economic time-bomb doesn’t go off before the 2016 election.
Hopefully I’ll be pleasantly-surprised and we actually have one.
I know, it’s tinfoil. That’s why I always ping Nully.
That my friend, is my only objective.
We haven't even begun to see them at their most vicious and desperate yet.
‘Bout damned time!
I think that’s gonna happen either way. Even if the GOPe gets their Hillary girl in. Which they obviously want.
I visited his boyhood home here in Dixon, IL back in October. It took me a whopping hour to get there from my home.
Didn't want to leave.
Just sayin'....
It already ended
when the Speaker of The House today jumped on Trump about “not disavowing the KKK”, that fishy democrat planted story, I knew the GOP was corrupt at every every level
FOX News,Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin... all compromised
We have to start again somewhere
Romney too
Nor have they seen us at ours.
There's a reason the Chinese would never invade America, and that's because they know there's a gun behind every blade of grass.
If the GOP-E isn't careful ..... if they push too hard, too far ......... They could trip a wire they don't want to trip.
BTW: The Democrats could do the same. About half of their voters aren't happy with Shrillary rigging the Democrat primaries by locking up the super delegates this early either. They're about as pissed as we are.
That is absolutely correct. The machine will not give up easily.
I wouldn’t put a Reichstag Fire-type event beyond their evil.
Silly I know, but when I see a pandering liar like Karl Rove, and a radio host suddenly apologizing for amnesty-Rubio, I am reminded of the leftist MSM.
Zombies don't die until you shoot them in the brain.
