Ferrari must have gotten lessons from Barry. :?)

[ManHunter]

Hey Willie, luv ya like a brother, but hockey players do wear gloves...

[xzins]

He meant racket

:?)

[Defiant]

Search on youtube for it if you haven’t seen it. It is hysterical.

[ManHunter]

Oh, OK... :-D

[Defiant]

You should watch it no matter what. But Trump will win Indiana. Everyone is sick of Ted Cruz, and it is Indiana’s honor to stick the fork in him.

[xzins]

Why would any dad not teach a son how to throw a ball. Is that official child neglect in this country? :?)

[Defiant]

I can't speak for Cruz. I don't know if he can throw a baseball, and a Cuban dad should have played some baseball in his life. I just have never seen Cruz throw a baseball, and he seems like the kind of guy who never played sports, so I am making assumptions.

As for Barry, his father was Kenyan and he only met him once, he lived in Indonesia until he was about 10, and he had no father in Hawaii when he moved back there so he probably never played baseball. He did play basketball, but he sucked and was third string in high school. So, he seems never to have thrown a baseball until he was in front of a whole stadium at a baseball game. Bad time to start.

Have you seen his golf swing? It's almost as bad. The guy is just a wuss.

It's all an act for the TV cameras.

All "reality" shows are an act - scripted.

[Buckeye McFrog]

As a Canadian he would have grown up playing hockey, where it is the duty of every father to teach his son how to score a Gordie Howe Hat Trick.

[xzins]

That cubocanadian game of gar-hockey?

I am not big on calling people out for their religious hypocrisy. At all. BUT, Ted says he’s a SOUTHERN BAPTIST (Though many say he’s a “DOMINIONIST”, which his father---who has called Ted “The Anointed One”---claims to be; or even a Mormon, as he stood by while Glenn Beck recited Mormon-specific references, applying them to Cruz, That Cruz is the “raising of the priests” and the fulfillment of the “prophecy of the White Horse.” Or a Seventh Day Adventist, as his wife, Heidi, who has more than once referred to Ted as “The Face Of God.”)

I am Southern Baptist, raised that way. Let me tell you, Southern Baptist are very loosey goosey when it comes to what it accepts or allows in each affiliate congregation (for example, some can dance, some cannot.) BUT….THREE THINGS are not acceptable ANYWHERE to Southern Baptists: GAMBLING, DRINKING, and NOT TITHING:

(Today, Apri 27) During Carly Fiorina’s running-mate acceptance speech in Indianapolis, Fiorina described Cruz as a really fun dude who’s able to make last-second bets on exciting basketball games.
She revisited the final moments of that epic national title game between Villanova and North Carolina. Fiorina and Cruz were watching the game on the bus, and after Marcus Paige’s incredible 3, Cruz threw money on the table. – USA TODAY

On CNN’s Republican Presidential Townhall, Republican candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told Anderson Cooper that he drinks alcohol “What is your favorite cocktail?” Cooper asked Cruz. “I am a scotch man,” Cruz responded. – CNN [PS---scotch is not a “cocktail; it’s a distilled spirit, a member of the whiskey family.]

_____________________________________
According to recently released tax records, the Texas senator contributed less than 1 percent of his income to charity between 2006 and 2010. But many Christians believe that the Bible commands a charitable offering, or tithe, equal to 10 percent of one’s annual earnings. – The Atlantic

[xzins]

Actually, most of us don’t believe the bible commands 10% giving.

We believe it is an example set by Godly believers. It is not included in the Acts 15 list of Old Testament requirements that carried over for New Testament Christians.

[GOPJ]

Under Cruz every home will have a basketball ring, football net and a hockey glove Willie Robertson...tagable

[digger48]

Knightsville???

Try Knightstown.

[xzins]

Gimmeabreak. I’d only had one cup of coffee at that point...and I’m utilizing a decades old memory system. :>)

[digger48]

And the article says he was in “Knightsville” when he said it.

Which is about 100 miles from Hoosier Gym in Knightstown

[digger48]

Sorry. I was going after the author of the article.

Being a Hoosier, that just jumped out at me.

[xzins]

Hey, I was right...the article does say Knightsville.
