Ted Cruz 2016!!!!
I’m not posting this as a display of support of either candidate.
In the context that the word was used, it was perfectly acceptable.
Pusillanimous...look it up.
Please move on to other, more tangible debate topics.
ROFL I haven’t heard “potty mouth” since my daughter reprimanded ny 4 year old grandson for saying sh*t...LOL
The word “pussy” used in this context, denotes cowardice, fear, or girlie. A pussy is - and has been for a long time - another word for “cat”. As we all recall, when we were children we called the fearful ones, “fraidy cats”. Cat, like “chicken” has always been associated with fear.
Col. Ralph Peters directly called Obama a “pussy” on FOXe news, denoting obamas fear, or reluctance, to confront our enemies. He was barely chastised and is probably back on FOXe news. I’m sure FOXe news has a “kill button” to blank out “profanity”, but, they didn’t.
Millions of people rent and watch movies with much worse language. I recall in “Top Gun”, they called “Goose” a “pussy” for wimping out on a rematch. Thousands of kis have seen that movie, but I haven’t heard a single parental outcry because of the cat word.
Selective rage is designed and exploited by leftists to play alinsky with their enemies. And then they feign shock when someone besides them use profanity, even when the person did not originate the word.
In today’s world profanity is rampant. You may not use it yourself, but it’s all around you. To backflip over a word like it was still the 1950’s is stupid.

"with the tough issues facing this city, the last thing we need is another pusillanimous mayor"
I guess the stiff-spined linguistic Queenbury fans never watched ‘proper’ British Parliament’s proceedings?? Sometimes the right word is a right word!
And, when the gentleman with the bowler hat...if he be a crook or nave....is punched in the nose with a poignant barb, ‘tis to the righteous filthy blacksmith’s utter delight.
Not saying Cruz is not a righteous gentleman....I don’t know him; but I like the man. Trump is not the first coothless word-slinger seeking public office: there’s a number who’ve done good service. I cannot discount skill and heart, based upon up-crusted comportment. Witness the bawdy smith.
A new Ted Cruz campaign slogan:
No Potty Mouths for President!
teddy the wimpy boy.
Shouldn’t the title be, “Ted Cruz responds to a Woman attending a Donald Trump Rally”?
The leftists and dregs in the media like to misinterpret and magnify anything their "enemies" say to discredit them, like they successfully did against George Allen when he was running for the senate in Virginia. He lost because fifteen years or more ago he used the word "macaca."
That tactic will not work for Trump. Hurray! Free at last!
Of course the same press ignores the real and disgusting profanity used by Hillary over the years.
Excellent response by Ted!
And as usual, many of TRUMP’s (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) supporters, only know how to mimic their candidate, with boorish behavior.
These men aren’t worthy of public office. They swear.

These men aren’t worthy of getting into politics either.

These dishonorable men shouldn’t even be allowed to speak publicly.

Yes, that’s sarcasm.
Every great man that I know - the MOST honorable men that I know - are the heaviest cursers. They’re honest.
Every single prude on FR who condemns men for harsh language needs to stand down right now.
The ‘uncivilized men’ who fight for your freedom, endure the most dangerous jobs, beat their bodies up for decades are the men who get dirty so that you have the liberty to live your life as you want, keep your lights on, and allow you to giggle at cute cat videos on your stupid cell phone.
Uncivilized men allow the rest of us to live in a civilized world.
And they pray more than most Americans. They have to. It takes powerful faith to run into gunfire, climb a 300 foot tower in 20* weather, throw your body into the fast moving machinery of an oil rig, or take a rickety elevator 400’ down into the earth to mine your coal and trona.
Their families pray for them every day and pray deep prayers of gratitude when they get their men safely back home.
You freaking snobs should be forced to endure just one week of the stress that these men work under for YOU. And yes. They use f*** like a comma and might have a few too many so that they can sleep through the pain of their broken backs, aching muscles, and torn shoulders.
Be grateful, you upright brats.
Because if these rough, tattooed, and cursing men ever lay down their arms and tools and become civilized, your life is over.
What has happened to Free Republic?
Now we got each side calling one another pussies.
And the Mods say, "No Problem"
Make me wonder just what was posted that did get deleted?
So Trump’s new faux-conservative agenda is to expand the usage of profanity throughout the nation?
I hope his candidacy goes down in flames. I have no use for this TV show clown and his band of looney Trumpsters hijacking the Republican party and the word “conservative” itself for an agenda that is anathema to all the true conservative values I’ve fought and argued for in my adult life. Trump is a phony, a fake and a fraud.
I don’t often say bad things about Trump but when I do I wait til he’s not around to beat my azz. Then I deny it at the next debate. :-)
The only people upset are Bolshevik Bernie, the commie Hillary, the Goebbel’s/fascist propagandists in the media and certain FReepers. What does this unholy alliance tell us about certain FReepers?
