“So they’ll perform air strikes to a bunch of Muslims 1,000 miles away but not resist the jihadists within their own borders?”

Ok, put like that it does sound silly. This won’t prevent those within their borders from doing it again.

“This is yet another reason why only Cruz is qualified for election.”

Because he said refugees would be a Trojan horse?

Because he was the first to talk about building a wall?

Because he came out for deporting illegals months ago?

Oh wait... that wasn’t Cruz!

They're bombing the anthill. If there's actually a colony there they might even kill a few, but the rest will scurry off, maybe even join those in the house.

My exterminator puts out traps and bait. Kills all in the house, then places a barrier around the house so no more can get in.

We started out with a big bang too after 911 and look how we ended up. Here we are, importing them into our own country a day after this happened in Paris and we’ll import more of them.

Will France make the same mistakes? It remains to be seen. This could be a big show to appease their people and look like they are avenging the deaths and then that will be the end of it. I hope not. I pray I am wrong.

Then where did the paris terrorists get their guns from? Do these media people ever do any logical reasoning at all?

I don’t know why every dang thread has to turn into a Cruz/Trump thread. But FYI Ted Cruz was talking about the border fence back in 2013 and that issue was included in at least one of the amendments to the immigration bill that the Gang of Eight was supporting. It was already the law and the law wasn’t being followed.

And what is all of the “Trump was first! Trump was first!” stuff. It makes people sound like a bunch of preschoolers.

While Ted Cruz was fighting the Gang of Eight where was Trump? Probably building another golf course or something. Not like there is anything wrong with that but lets be honest okay?

Which is exactly why we should NUKE ALL of them, and be done with it. I have no reservations whatsoever about launching a full-on nuclear bombardment against every single Muslim country across the globe - let them all burn in hell, from the oldest to the youngest.

He’d probably try to disarm it on the way down.

But his numbers are still not high enough, not on the level of Trump’s.

Most likely it will end up being a Trump/Cruz ticket.

You might think that Trump had the same immigration plans months ago before anybody else is irrelevant but it shows he has been unwavering on this issue. He correctly called the refugees a Trojan horse.

Cruz just recently discussed anything about the illegals here, and it’s pretty lukewarm. Before that, he refused to say. Likely his donors being in control.

I didn’t bring up Trump or Cruz, but responded to a post. I see you aren’t bothering to chastise that poster. And true to form of Cruz supporters, you have to insult me in lieu of having anything substantial to say.

Trying to out-liberal the liberals?

BTW, Cruz is a class act. I’m sure he’d be ashamed of you insult-spewing, deranged, foaming-at-the mouth irrational fanatics.

Spoken like a true Trump fanboi. You’re the one using nasty adjectives and nouns to describe your political opponent. Just like master Trump.

“You might think that Trump had the same immigration plans months ago before anybody else is irrelevant “

Absolutely not. It’s not irrelevant it just isn’t true.

“Cruz just recently discussed anything about the illegals here”

Did you miss it back in 2013 when immigration reform was being debated? Do you remember the Gang of Eight?

“Likely his donors being in control.”

Do you have proof of that accusation? You must have missed it when he stood up against the Koch brothers over crime legislation. At the time repub candidates were looking to score money from them.

“And true to form of Cruz supporters, you have to insult me in lieu of having anything substantial to say.”

Funny, I see more of that from Trump supporters. I’m sure he would be real proud of that because after all, he is admired for insulting people. Why would you not admire my plain talk as well? Is it only desirable in a candidate for POTUS?

I have been called names and insulted multiple times by Trumpsters. Let me put it this way, the Trumsters were the first!

“Trying to out-liberal the liberals?”

Nope, you Trump people have that well in hand with your blind hero worship. Are people fainting at Trump events yet?

“BTW, Cruz is a class act. I’m sure he’d be ashamed of you insult-spewing, deranged, foaming-at-the mouth irrational fanatics.”

Why would he be? It’s not like I’m his daughter or anything. I’m nothing to him. But here is the contrast. I think Trump would be proud of how some Trumpsters around here spew insults.

It is NOT a major bombardment. It is about the payload of ONE non-nuclear B-52.
