Oh most of us would have gladly done so....BEFORE the Cruz supporter trolls decided to haunt every single thread and insult, impugn, and lie about Trump and his supporters; not to mention reposting ancient FR long dead threadsz, which is against FR rules, BTW.

There is an FR thread today stating that big Ted is calling for Jerusalem to be named as the capital of Israel. So what in the world does he think he’s doing with that one?

I mean, besides playing Pander Bear with more evangelicals in IOWA.

His campaign is turning into molasses on this stuff, as a garnish to the blood red meat he’s been having to throw, 24/7, to stay afloat and pull off a 2nd spot in IOWA.

Heck, by now, the snow in Iowa must look like he killed a deer, it’s so scarlet.

It's because DO and many of us are sick and tired of many of the Cruz supporters antics.

We don't INVADE Cruz rally threads and start FLAME WARS, attempt to hijack the threads, nor post ancient, long dead and buried threads.

YOU are WELCOME! The nerve of this jerk.

Look at this thread. How many fine Cruz Constitutionalists are fighting mad to hear some gas bag call YOU anything but “Captain, Ma’am”, and get by with it!

I thought MEN were back. This thread says we sure as heck have a way to go, don’t we?

God bless you for what you had to deliver to attain to the rank of Captain. You earned it! It’s yours!

Some burrow like this comes along and thinks his mouth is gold, when he honks! Oh, if I were a man.......

I could spit nails!!

Now apparently thinking the 10th Amendment means what it says makes one not conservative.

I'll take the Founding Fathers' limited government over Santorum's Purity Police any day of the week - yes, and twice on Sunday.

Better losing with a write in that winning with a liberal and empowering the problem. I think the past 3 years of Bhoner, Mitch and Ryan and their 100% support of Obama proves that. And there is no way in hell that Mitt Romney was gonna be the conservative light that would hold their feet to the fire, nor vise versa.

Rickey has likewise proven hid establishment bonifieds. Once he was on the right side. Those days are gone.

Whoa there. Who is riding the jackass? Looks like you. Everything Doughty one said is the absolute truth! AND I agree with him. Ted Cruz has a very very very tarnished “halo.”

I’m not trying to be hostile with you. I don’t think you’re taking it that way.

I am trying to address an issue that has cropped up. The things I mentioned, I have links to. They are real issues.

Is it my goal to come here and be unfair to Cruz?

I’m merely addressing a truth.

You describe my post as “a discouraging word”. Do you think I relish having to explain what Cruz’ supporters have been up to here? I don’t. None the less they have been vicious.

I would liken it to the way the Left sacks and burns those who disagree with them.

Do you think I should just let those things I mentioned go and move on? It they’ll do it with me, they’ll do it to the women on the forum too.

I don’t appreciate it.

What I would have appreciated from you, is an acknowledgement that those things were unacceptable from anyone, let alone the supporters of a man who is supposed to be an Evangelical Christian Conservative.

Instead, it was mentioned as my “discouraging words”.

Actually, it was directly addressing some despicable behavior directed at Trump supporters. We didn’t do it.

This may sound like I’m upset with you, when I’m not. I merely want to raise the point.

The article is from yesterday and I didn't write it.

You know, it would seem you FR old guys would have learned after so much in-fighting over the years, that if we don't come together at some point, no Republican will be elected.

FRiend, I don't take offense and please note that I mentioned the Cruz "knuckleheads" and there are plenty of them :-)

We have crap being hurtled by both Cruz and Trump sides and it's getting real ugly.

I think the only reason JimRob hasn't interfered so far is because he likes both candidates.

OK, truce time from me. I try to not be belligerent and if I have been, I apologize.

This old guy is hitting the sack :-)

Look at this thread. How many fine Cruz Constitutionalists are fighting mad to hear some gas bag call YOU anything but "Captain, M'amthen I'm going with Cruz. He is the conservative. I will ", and get by with it!I thought MEN were back. This thread says we sure as heck have a way to go, don’t we?

First of all why should I care if it is a man or woman posting this? If it comes down to Cruz vs Trump I stick with Cruz over any of these Trump supporters on FR. If that is enough to get me bounced from FR then so be it. I'm a conservative, Freep donating member. Everyone has the right to question the credentials of Freepers, especially the newbies. If you want to throw me out, go to it. I'm not a Trump supporter. I think he will not stand with us.

I did not take you as being belligerent at all.

I just wanted to express my concerns clearly, and I appreciate the dialogue.

Take care.

LOL....you're so befuddled; so very wrong about me.

I have been very civil.

Ah yes, calling Cruz supporters people with “TDS” as if we are deranged or something... Yeah, real civil...

Everything Doughty one said is the absolute truth!

And I never claimed otherwise, did I?

What I commented on was his OPINION. And, last time I checked, opinions are neither true nor false: they are viewpoints that are either shared or they're not.

One thing opinions NEVER are, are lies. Not mine, not the Doughty One's, not even yours.

That's why, even when opinions are stated as facts, such as your Ted Cruz has a very very very tarnished "halo". aren't really lies, they are just ill informed swill. Ideas like that are better expressed as To my eyes, Ted Cruz has a very very very tarnished "halo". That's a lot less offensive and it doesn't get you nominated as a jackass.

It's FAR more "civil" than what many Cruz supporters have called Trump and his supporters.

No Trump supporters have called The Cruz "HITLER", a "NAZI", nor a "DICTATOR", or a "DEMAGOGUGE"...and that's but the tip of the iceberg, as to what has been posted about Trump and his supporters.

I like Rick, but this is just silly. He’s trying to gain traction.
