“You cruz bots are all the same, just out ‘snarling’ instead of trying to show your candidate had some smarts...nope, you can’t because it’s all fact, something you can’t refute.... “

You’re projecting, Trump fanboi.

Data mining is a perilous venture. Finding supporters to contact ALSO on facebook or whatever, seems fair game. If I reveal on Free Republic, for example, that I like chicken pot pie, and “The Chicken Pot Pie Institute of America” joins Free Republic and pings me to an article on Chicken pot pie, then that’s one thing.

But to then begin searching out my name, occupation, address, email, etc., and to start targeting all my addresses with mailings is beyond annoying. It makes me wonder if they’ll be looking for “shaming” information, so they can come at me in secret and say, “Buy chicken pot pie, or we’ll kill your cat.”

This, by the way, is why I’m not on Facebook. People revealing their friends, family, locations, occupations, etc. That strikes me as a little bit dumb.

And a lot of people recognize Trump as a vulgar vulture capitalist bully, and his followers are simply imitating his assaultive rhetoric.

I’m looking forward to the Iowa caucus. Should be fun.

I’ll send you some tissues when it’s over and you can cry...

All the cons and lies that Cruz has done so far in this election, Iowan voters are smarter than that!

Cruz isn’t big enough to play with the ‘big boys in their sand box’ and you can certainly see that!!!

You are so right! I got off Facebook and Twitter after a brief time. I’ve also asked my relatives and my kids not to post anything that concerns me on either one of them. They don’t like it much, but I don’t want anything that concerns me to be known by the whole population.

Modern world now. Employers look at this stuff, too. If your foolish enough to put your life out there on a public site, expect advertisers and politicians to try and target and persuade you. I

That’s why he chickened out of the last debate, right?

I won’t cry. But if Trump is our nominee, I will not vote for him in the general election. Period.

There’s nothing private on F-book. That’s old news.

Facebook and Google both sell our Info to Insurance companies as they are out to take Equifax’s paid reports to insurance companies for underwriting of home and auto insurance. They are also taking as much Transunion and Experian requested data as possible. they got much of the Info after 911.

Neither does his claim that a child born in Canada to a Canadian father is a “Natural Born Citizen” of the United States........

At best that child would be a “Dual Citizen” of Canada and the United States because of his American Mother. That is Prima Fascia, the very reason the Founders wrote “Natural Born Citizen” as the pedigree requirement in Article II.

Native birth to citizen parents avoids the possibility of “dual loyalties” arising from such a situation.

Puppies born to Poodle mothers and fathers are Poodles.

Puppies born to Poodle mothers and mongrel fathers are themselves mongrels/mutts.

Excluding the Illegals in this country along with their “Dreamer” children, I’ll bet that 90%+ of the population of the US are Natural Born Citizens. Article II is Not an onerous requirement for the Office of President. We want pure breds for President, not mutts!
