Back in the days of Richard Nixon and Watergate, Donald Segretti had a word for it.
Unfortunately, I cant use that word in a family newspaper, but suffice it to say it had something to do with rats and everything to do with a vulgarism for political dirty tricks: using plants and double-agents in order to embarrass a candidate and boost their own mans chances.
Last week it was GOP front-runner Donald Trumps turn to get, well, ratfreaked.
A young woman at a campaign event in New Hampshire self-righteous, hands on hips, a-quiver with indignation popped up to declare, I dont think youre a friend to women. (I knew I shouldnt have picked her, Trump immediately joked.)
Oops. Turns out that the woman, identified as Lauren Batchelder, 18, is a college volunteer for the fading candidacy of Jeb Bush.

The only people I ever hear that term from are TV commentators, GOPe apologists, and Democrat useful idiots. What a stupid saying. Beyond the pale of what, exactly? Why not just say "unacceptable" or that you were offended?
But "beyond the pale?" Really? Ugh. Just stop.
Bank on it. In fact Bush was such an epic disaster by the time he left office it left us with Barack Hussein Obama. What a legacy! ☺
Your reality is right now. Sure, Trump has a commanding lead at the present, but, if he keeps making stupid statements like this, he’s commanding lead is going to erode.
“No James, you are NOT going out tonight with your friends. We’re going to cuddle.”
Is this Trump is finished #832?
Btw, 911 happened during Bush’s watch. Deal with it.
>>Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.<<
good one!
I can’t believe what has happened to FR. Were this on the FR religious forum, one would think it had been taken over by Joseph Smith Mormon idolators. It has gone beyond merely pulling for your favorite candidate, FR has been taken over by a cult. A personality cult.
Incredibly, FR the premier conservative forum on the net, has been taken over by cultists who are rabid for somebody none of them are even sure is a bonafide conservative. A lot of words, but no track record to support it.
I always vote for the most conservative candidate, and will continue to do so. And it ain’t Trump.
Coming out in a couple of months I think.
Maybe that’s why Trump is trying so hard to get jeb out of the election....can you imagine what a book like this can do to a candidate, espically when his dad and brother are Former POTUS?
OMGOSH....run and hid jebby, it’s all over....
....and another bit the dust......
-— A lot of words, but no track record to support it. -—
Which is why it won’t have much effect and why I just pass over it. When the field gets down to 4-5 the horserace will get interesting.
Track record?
You mean like the track record those in DC have logged in for the past several decades? You want Trump's track record in the private sector to emulate the decline and disastrous policies of those in DC?
Really?

An investigation by the CIA inspector general -- published in unclassified form in 2007 -- found that this was not the oversight of a couple of agency employees but rather that a large number of CIA officers and analysts had dropped the ball. Some 50 to 60 agency employees read cables about the two al Qaeda suspects without taking any action.
...
The CIA inspector general's report concluded that "informing the FBI and good operational follow-through by CIA and FBI might have resulted in surveillance of both al-Mihdhar and al-Hazmi. Surveillance, in turn, would have had the potential to yield information on flight training, financing, and links to others who were complicit in the 9/11 attacks."

YES! GO TRUMP 2016!!!
Florida GOP is very familiar with Lauren Batchelder......
I wasn’t talking about the RINO’s or the GOPe. We have a few who have a conservative track record. Not just words, as we have in Trump.
SO ARE ALL OF US TRUMP SUPPORTERS!!! GO GET EM TRUMP!!!
Thanks for that.
And some of these folks are feigning outrage over Trump pointing out 911 happened on Bush’s watch?
