Again, Bing, Google, Yahoo, Altavista, will cough up images without accreditation. Someone likes what they see and slaps it up in their poster.

You fail at interwebs. You should be ashamed of your join date.

So, you're okay with Trump's love of eminent domain?

April 2011 Donald Trump and Eminent Domain

"...............Perhaps the only upside to this story is that in neither case did Trump succeed. The Bridgeport plan fizzled. Coking fought in court, and — in part because these were the days before Kelo was decided, no doubt — she was lucky enough to win. In 1998, a judge threw out the case.

In 2005, however, Trump was delighted to find that the Supreme Court had okayed the brand of government-abetted theft that he’d twice attempted. “I happen to agree with it 100 percent,” he told Fox News’s Neil Cavuto of the Kelo decision.

Can Republicans support someone with so little regard for the property of others? Let’s hope not."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform_Party_of_the_United_States_of_America

“The Reform Party of the United States of America (RPUSA), generally known as the Reform Party USA or the Reform Party, is a political party in the United States, founded in 1995 by Ross Perot. Perot said Americans were disillusioned with the state of politics—as being corrupt and unable to deal with vital issues—and desired a viable alternative to the Republican and Democratic parties. The party had nominated several notable candidates over the years, such as founder Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, and Ralph Nader.

The party’s most significant victory came when Jesse Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota in 1998....

The Reform Party’s presidential candidate for the 2000 election was due federal matching funds of $12.5 million, based on Perot’s 8% showing in 1996. Early on, there was a failed effort to draft Ron Paul.

Donald Trump entered the race briefly, giving television interviews outlining his platform. Trump was progressive on social issues, and supported allowing openly gay soldiers in the military, saying: “it would not disturb me.” Trump considered himself a conservative, but criticized Pat Buchanan, saying: “I’m on the conservative side, but Buchanan is Attila the Hun.” He withdrew from the race citing the party’s infighting, as did Jesse Ventura and the Minnesota Reform Party.........”

Good response. However you’d get more flies with that kind of honey rather than the BS of minute gotcha-ism the left participates in by researching obscure photographs that might turn up in searches.

That came from a RedState post.

Still minutia gotcha journalism.

Stick to things like clips of his Kelo remarks rather than searches that turn up stock pictures that may or may not have accreditation.

Gee I guess her entire family consisted of a brother. No mention of the parents supporting Trump on this.

Everyone has a brother they are ashamed of.

March 2012

“....VAN SUSTEREN: Looking at the administration, how do you think the vice president has done? Biden, although, being a vice-president is not a job that is very visible, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, I’m curious what you think about those two.

TRUMP: I think Biden has been a very loyal person, to be honest with you. I think he has been a good vice president for the agenda that they set and he has been a very, very loyal person. I respect him for that.

Hillary Clinton I think is a terrific woman. I am biased because I have known her for years. I live in New York. She lives in New York. I really like her and her husband both a lot. I think she really works hard. And I think, again, she’s given an agenda, it is not all of her, but I think she really works hard and I think she does a good job. I like her.

VAN SUSTEREN: She says she’s out at the end of this term. Do you think we will see her again running for office?

TRUMP: I think so. Assuming she is healthy, I think she probably runs after the next four years, I would imagine.

VAN SUSTEREN: Do you support her?

TRUMP: I don’t want to get into this because I will get myself into trouble —

VAN SUSTEREN: That’s why I asked you.

TRUMP: I just like her. I like her husband. Her husband made a speech on Monday and was very well received. He is — he is a really good guy, and she’s a really good person and woman.”...

So we would be less gullible if we supported a candidate who told us what we didn't want to hear? or who just feeds us all the same old BS that we're all sick and tired of? That's pretty much all I'm hearing from the rest of the nominees. I don't like much of anything they're saying.

Trump is speaking unvarnished and unapologetic truth to America. In so doing, he has harnessed the political winds. The other candidates should take notice and adjust their own sails, or be prepared to go nowhere.

Okay, yeah. He’s brash and bold. So, what? Actions speak louder than words. His past actions scream louder than any supposed stand he is taking now. To think that he is a “good” guy or actually cares about anyone or anything but himself is what I mean by gullibility. Personally, I think this is all a stunt that bolsters his ego. He is welcome to do so, and I am all for speaking the truth and making the LSM insane, but that is no reason just to discount who he has been in the past and what he has stood for. That is no reason to just get behind him 100%, neglecting any logical considerations over his appeal to pathos. Anyone who thinks he is actually presidential material is a fool.

Anyone who thinks he is actually presidential material is a fool.

Look at the inexperienced assclowns he's running against, all of them thinking they're Presidential material and tell me isn't Presidential material. look at the inexperienced assclown in the oval office now and tell me isn't Presidential material. look at Hillary Clinton running for President and tell me isn't Presidential material. Looking at all of these chumps, I have to think that Donald Trump is actually more Presidential than any of them.

Personally, I think this is all a stunt that bolsters his ego.

I had thought as much initially. He has lost a lot of business for speaking the truth. He has lost a lot of friends for speaking the truth. He has a billionaire drug lord wanting to kill him now for speaking the truth. He has angered the entire country and government of Mexico for speaking the truth. He's risking his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor. That doesn't look like a man perpetrating a publicity stunt to me. I think the man is probably all in. I don't see the other candidates risking much of anything.

That is no reason to just get behind him 100%

I would hazard a guess that a lot of the resistance to Trump is coming from people who are 100% behind another candidate. Personally, I'm not behind any of them 100% at this point but I'm liking trump more and more. I definitely like what he has done this election cycle.

His past actions scream louder than any supposed stand he is taking now

He isn't a career politician that has spent his entire life carefully maintaining an image of political purity. He has spent his life taking care of business and I like that. I'm more concerned with what he might do than what he might have done.

What does Brad think about illegal-alien invaders and sanctuary cities? This isn’t just about his sister; it’s also about all of the other potential victims. I’m sorry about his loss, but he can shove it.

It is hard to believe that anyone person can be this ignorant if not outright dumb to assume that dealing with a rogue nation who over and over assures us that their primary objective is the demise or destruction of the US as well as Israel, not only that but they have proven repeatedly by their actions that they mean what they say and this is in reference to the regime which is currently controlling the population. As far as the Iranian population is concerned they are not a whole lot different than us and most other human beings, just wanting to live in peace and pursue their own interests. Unfortunately a while back they became saddled with mentally challenged regime with high flying ideas, not at all unlike what we have to put up in this country. A while back when they attempted to shake off those brain dead, some of them senile imbeciles those clamped down subduing any possible uprising. Needless to say since our own leadership has no balls so to speak of, we did not take advantage of the situation and offered no help.

I am not the most astute political analyst but the thought crossed my mind, that obozo may want to become know as the one who single handedly caused the elimination of Israel and push (i)slam to the forefront. Or since it is hard to imagine that any one one person could be this ignorant or outright dumb there maybe others behind him who are pulling his strings pushing him to do whatever he is doing, with their hate and main target being the outright elimination of Israel, what wouldn’t be a surprise.

Should this deal pass proliferation of nuclear armament in this region is almost a given and the results, considering the cantankerous disposition of the inhabitants in this region certainly will not lead to any peaceful coexistence. So what else is Israel to do in order to assure its survival, as another Holocaust is not an option. This time I believe Israel will stand and survive as they have for thousands of years as one of the oldest civilization on Earth and I hope and pray that they will.

And as far as Obozo attempting to establish a legacy for himself, what is there to be proud of ? Obozo Care is just about everything opposite to what was promised and is about killing this nation with debt and the recent deal with Iran promising nothing more than more mayhem and destruction in that region.

No doubt that amongst all the Freepers and readers of Free Republic there are many out there who are much smarter and know more about this subject than I do, and I would love to hear what they think what Obozos real motives are?

Hm. I never said any of the other idiots were presidential. Look at Carson or Bush...those are just two of the fools running. I don’t recall me ever calling Clinton presidential, either. You’ll never catch me doing so. This isn’t about them, however. This is about Trump.

You make a good point about the drug lord, but what makes you think he knew that his speeches would incur the wrath of a third world drug lord? Maybe that was just an unintended consequence. Furthermore, I doubt Trump would mourn the loss of any friends who wanted to drop him—he’s too self-absorbed to care. And how has his “speaking the truth” lost him businesses? I am genuinely curious on that score.

I personally am not behind anyone 100%. I really do like Cruz, but I am not stupid and I know that politics is a corrupting business. I would like to think that a person can keep his integrity despite being involved in politics, but there probably aren’t any.

I do appreciate a person who can get things done, but it depends what he intends to do. People, I truly believe, go back to what they have known and with what they are familiar. Trump, is probably no different. Furthermore, I am a fiscal conservative, but I am also a social conservative. I believe that my social views are equal to, if not more important, my fiscal views. I need and desire a candidate who aligns with most, if not all, of these views. I also expect a certain level of deportment from political officials...something which the current lot sorely lacks. All I know is that I refuse to be the “lesser evil” types that generations before me have been known to produce. So Trump is a no go for me. Of course, other people are free to vote as they wish and I will vote as I wish.
