MKJ....

Agree on some points. We both have flawed candidates, and I am not 100% sure that Cruz is clean on this issue. If it was a moment of indiscretion, way in the past during a point early in a difficult point in his marriage, I might be inclined to give him a pass. That may be why he is doing his best not to get cornered into a "gotcha" moment. If it is the more unlikely scenario is that he was a serial philanderer, I'd drop support in a heart beat.

The problem is that there are rogue posters like drewh, who are controlling the narrative with innuendo, and unproven allegations. I think his tactic is to robo-blast this practice so profusely that as in other matters, he is trying to bend the perception, which often out trumps the truth and reality.

And with this particular "rogue" Freeper, making me comb through a wild goose chase attachment with NADA... ZIP, is analogous to your side having a Pee Wee Herman behind the keyboard laughing and yelling "MADE YOU LOOK!!!!!!".

It is really hard to have good substantial discussions when you have examples like"Drewh'" whose singular function here is to pee in the Freeper Pool. I wish the more reasonable Trump supporters would call him out, and return FR back to some civility. I will try to do the same.

Vented enough......Good to see you again my FRiend.

Hey there ... good to hear back from you, and I may not be all that active tonight (as some posters say "YAY, thank you JESUS!" lol) but I understand what you're saying, too many times we see comments which ultimately end up eliciting a "prove it" statement which is fine, but the "proof" (be it online news item, video, URL, etc) often times turns out to be what Saul Goodman ("Better Call Saul") labels as "bupkis" and we end up right back where we were before.

It's true that there are posters who attempt to control whatever narrative they're promoting and it may be infuriating but like my favorite political humorist Finley Peter Dunne said, "politics ain't beanbag".

We've had dirty campaigns before and we'll have them again, I like reminding people of the re-election campaign of President Grover Cleveland when it was discovered that he had fathered a child out of wedlock, at many of his rallies, the opposition would have their people on either side of the crowds, the first group would chant "Maw! Maw! Where's my Paw?" and the second group would answer back "Gone to the White House, haw! haw! haw!"

Today's anti-Cruz and anti-Trump people can't hold a candle to that, in my opinion, lol

Hope your week ahead is a good one. Stay in touch. :)
