Yes, we should ignore what the left has to say during this important election, and just hope they will disappear.

Why bother to analyze their rhetoric and find their weaknesses?

Wilful ignorance of what the left is up to only got us 8 years of Barack Obama.

I agree with you completely. But not with your conclusion that I must therefore continuously seek out more reasons why the Devil hates me already. I'm already aware of his threats and plans to bring me harm. Action to deal with his lying threats have been dealt with proactively.

Are you for real?

It’s a joke that comedians use on bus tour groups - when someone doesn’t get their joke. My mother-in-law told it to me and is seems so appropriate from time to time.

What nerve did this article hit?

None. In fact, my comment to you was an obvious joke.

I see.

It was a joke.

You should seek employment on one of those tour buses.

An obvious slur against all FReepers who get sick riding buses and therefore cannot seek such employment.

Stop the insults!

Actually, you are as well but don't seem to know it.

No need to thank me, unless you are being paid to post here and each bump is commissionable. In that case, you would be racking it up over the course of months.

Panic at the GOP Yacht Club

George Neumayr - 2-3-16 "...............I found the wet-blanket editorials in Republican media organs on Tuesday morning amusing in their delusion. They at once avoided praising or backing Cruz, chortled over Trump's loss, and treated Rubio's bronze like a gold medal. Never mind that Rubio won that meager award by running as a fervent Christian and an opponent of the amnesty he once supported. In other words, the top three finishers all ran as Tea Party, Christian-friendly conservatives. Clogging the establishment lane to nowhere were Republicans from Jeb Bush to John Kasich to Chris Christie who long ago embraced the supposedly winning formula of "progressive," PC-friendly politics.

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, whom the Yacht Club Republicans claim is so impressive and unbeatable (unless we conservatives, they counsel, accept a "reasonable type" as the nominee), found herself, as the pathetic headlines on Tuesday morning blared, in a "virtual tie" with a Marxist eccentric from Vermont. Her only hope at this point is that Republicans sabotage Trump and Cruz and give the nomination to Rubio, who would prove an underwhelming candidate. He has his good points but he still seems like an inexperienced and philosophically shallow fortysomething who can't pay his credit card bills. He is the kind of plastic "conservative" who thinks absurdly, as he put it in one of the early debates, that America needs fewer "philosophers" and more "plumbers." I am pro-plumbers. In fact, I would be thrilled if more underperforming high school students entered that worthy profession rather than waste government money on four years of "higher learning" that just ends up warping their minds with PC propaganda. But no serious conservative would badmouth philosophy. At the core of America's founding documents is serious theistic philosophy, from which we grasp our freedoms under God.

Cruz's success on Monday night stemmed in large part from his willingness to stand up for those perennial principles in the forgotten counties of Iowa while "moderate" Republicans like Christie campaigned on MSNBC's Morning Joe and other idiotic chattering-class shows before holding their sad fundraisers on yachts and at country clubs. In the end, conservative substance wins. Is Trump listening?"

Of course I can’t prove it.

That’s the beauty of your smear.

There you go again, with your beautiful slurs. How is it possible for anyone to smear your slurs? I have never once smeared your slurs.

If you had to settle a vote with a coin toss, you cannot claim ‘the will of the people’ to getting the nomination.

If you needed SIX coin tosses all going your way to claim victory then you didn’t have any sort of a popular vote.

Al Gore Junior was a professional asshat as well. He and his supporters claimed he won because he had the popular vote in 2000. His margin was 0.51% (half a percent). There was no “mandate” for Al Gore. It was well within any margin of error and we would still be recounting the votes in counties from coast to coast. It was as close to a coin toss landing on neither heads or tails (the edge) that you can get.
