I am soon disappointed in Rush. He knew what he was doing today, it was obvious. If we lose this election, I’ll blame him in part.
Trump’s competing against the other candidates. He’s not supposed to kiss their butts.
Cruz raised the same red flag when he hopped in the sack with Amnesty Ryan to campaign for Obama’s TPA. No comparison between campaign hot air like this and the destructive actions of a sitting US Senator that enabled Barack Obama.
Would a public newscaster (entertainment caster?) endorse any candidate? It isn’t usually done.
I think Trump doesn’t realize that if he loses Limbaugh and Levin, he loses the nomination.
Conservatives are consolidating on Cruz.
We need someone that will scare the pants and turbins off the enemy. We need someone that knows about business and how to stimulate it. We don’t need anything resembling a Theocracy. We don’t need negotiations with the enemy. We don’t need immigration.
Rush is confusing deal making with working across the isle. For a normal politician (GOPee), as far as I am concerned, wanting to ‘work across the isle’ almost instantly disqualifies him/her to me. Trump is a special case because he is a deal-maker. That’s his speciality. When Trump works across the isle, you can trust they won’t be give-aways.
Cruz will lose. Cruz is an ideologically pure ideologue, which is great - for people like us. He connects well with such people. But outside of the base he does not connect well. In the generals if Hillary can turn out swathes of low information voters like Obama did, Cruz will get crushed.
Anyone who thinks that those running for President don't have a real burning desire to win, and won't do pretty much whatever they deem necessary to win, is not playing with a full deck.
That said:
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
Flip / Flop. I will be fun hearing Rush try to justify it today.
Yeah... it’s starting to turn. Trump is moving toward the middle too soon. I expected it after the nomination, but not at this point. Slamming Cruz is one thing, he’s running against Cruz and I can see that at some level.... but slamming Scalia who is one of our strongest allies on a court where we need all the help we can get, was really bad.
No, Trump doesn’t go after people who disagree with him. He goes after people who go after him first, and he’s quite up-front about it.
The Republican establishment’s reason for existence is to keep the borders wide open, assure an endless spigot of illiterate cheap foreign labor into the country for the establishment’s benefactors of which the middle class taxpayers pay for the social services, healthcare, child support, public assistance, provide for the elementary education of the children of cheap labor and to provide for these children with all basic necessities, bring in all their relatives so the cheap labor can have picnics with grandma and watch sports events together on big screen tv and have birthday parties and drink beer in the local park and community center, and to pay for the retirement of their elderly who did not live and work in this country, pay for the energy consumption, housing, food and water of all this cheap labor so that this cheap labor will remain cheap because it actually isn’t cheap for their benefactors unless the middle class taxpayers pay for all these expenses of cheap labor and not the benefactors of cheap labor, to expand the reach of government and to grow government to empower this agenda and to declare it “our American values”, to teach these “American values” as a common core to our own children and to declare any debate on the matter as “bigotry” and “against our common (core) values” and to criminalize any such debate but not arrest or deport any of the criminal population of this cheap labor so long as they keep providing cheap labor, and to control the message of all of this through a common core of speech control and brokered conventions behind closed doors of every convention of power and governance and where elections must be managed so that these “American values” of amnesty and cheap labor can never be questioned by “the mob”.
Any candidate who brings up “immigration” or amnesty or criminal aliens or illegal aliens as an issue, or questions anything such as “refugees” that could bring up questions about the broader open borders policy, is “dangerous” and must be relentlessly destroyed with the help of well paid friends of the establishment in the media and oligarchy families and the declarations of oligarchy political pharaohs of this establishment who wag their pharaonic fingers at the “naughty anti-establishmentarian” who dares to question the Divinity of the Pharaoh and the priests of the Pharaonic order of which the Nile would not flow, nor the sun rise and set without their Divine Omniscience. The pharoahs will give dictates in the manner of pharoahs and meet in brokered conventions of power behind closed doors with other high priests of the pharaohs to decide and set the agenda of the media affairs and propaganda narrative of the attack conducted by their operatives in the media. The internet must be regulated.
All anti-establishment types will be dealt with using British colonial methods of divide and rule when outright criminalization and suppression of anti-establishmentarianism is lacking or ineffective. The most important counter to anti-establishmentarianism is to destroy the messenger and to affect a form of post-traumatic or immediate-traumatic stress syndrome on them by taking any little thing said by the messenger and to relentlessly turn it into an “issue for interrogation” and try and effect endless interrogation of the messenger in hopes the messenger will make a mistake under duress which then is ceased upon and turned into a criminal act and the messenger “proven a traitor”. The actual treason is to be anti-establshment. But they want to get at any of the supporters of the treasonous messenger by means of divide and rule, sock puppets, defunding and intimidation, and they want to get them to sign onto some fake survey or “immediate action” that might smell a bit like anti-establishmentarianism but is just designed to get all their names so they can come after them after the messenger is destroyed and there is time to disenfranchise and erase them from even having a face or community at all.
The pyramids must be built for the graves of the Pharaohs. If it looks like there might be a delay, that the mob is not cooperating and polls in survey by their spies do not look favorably disposed to finshing the pyramid before they die and need to be buried in majesty, they rush in as many slaves from other lands to try and get the job done, even if they are not too sure if they can even manage these slaves or whether they might have slave riots. Or they try and distract the mob with gladiator games.
Now is the time when we all turn against Rush?
True statement.
