It's a non story.
It isn't a non-story. After what was done to steal the nomination for Cochran in the primary runoff, "win at all costs" is no longer acceptable. Just remember, we'd have one more conservative US Senator if it weren't for campaign dirty tricks. Cruz playing that game is affirming that now and in the future the same old stuff will be played, and it's used mostly against principled conservatives.

Glad you picked up on that line Salon encouraged Larry Legum was permitted to use to impress the Salon readers who are a snickering bunch of creeps. Which is no subtle inference to another racist epithet; Greaser
All the Jiffy Lubes I've been in have had clean, painted floors.
Well that was about as enlightening as falling down. :-) I wonder if the author knows that more people are uninsured now than before Obamacare? LOL!
Even I feel compelled to stick up for Teddy on this one.
This accusation really astonishes me. I am sincerely asking, can you point me to a post or posts that document your claim? Which Trump supporters have promoted a Salon article, or this writer?
All of us who love FR would like to avoid trolls and know who they are, regardless of who we support in the upcoming primaries.
I have not read this article... The title led me to believe that Cruz was into big oil... yet making a big splash about so called phasing out ethanol subsidies... did not interest me... but boy was I wrong... still not going to read, it is not like Salon writes stuff I need to put into my head.
How such superior people can bear to share a country with the likes of us must truly astound and amaze them...
passing on a CNN report is “dirty”?
But Trump, Cruz and Rubio people telling the people at the caucus that Ted Cruz is not eligible is fair play?
what a joke
So the rules are different for Trump and Cruz?
Trump can mock the disabled, diss veterans, use foul language, accuse another candidate of being psycho “like a child molester” and flip-flop on a daily basis and that is just peachy keen.
Some standards. Can those standards for Trump get any lower?
Oh right, he can shoot a person on 5th avenue and do abortions in the oval office, and that’d be great.
No standards at all.
But Trump, Cruz and Rubio people telling the people at the caucus that Ted Cruz is not eligible is fair play?
LOL...got a link for that, other than that random CRuzGirl’s TWEET? Is there documented proof....like memos or voicemails sent out, that Trump’s or the Rubes campaigns did this?
Why would CRuz or Rube’s camp even begin to say CRuz isn’t eligible?
I call BS.
Oh noes! A Salon editorialist doesn’t like Cruz OR his supporters!
It’s over now folks pack it up and go home.
Sounds like a pretty good thumbnail sketch of Salon writers.
No point in being rude because you don’t agree
Carson has admitted that his campaign put out misleading info that led to the CNN story.
We'll agree to disagree.
If it's "flattish", with only two or so "steps" like the 1986 law, then no, it shouldn't overly burden the indigent and people with marginal incomes.
Everybody should pay "something" .... and a flat tax would do that without crushing the poor.
2. How do you "abolish" the IRS if there are still ANY federal taxes to be collected?
Other federal agencies can be tasked with tax collection, e.g. Customs as in the 19th century. Payroll and W-4 taxes could be collected and remitted by Social Security or another Treasury agency.
3. If Obamacare is abolished, what - if anything - will replace it?
"Nothing" is the right answer. Private group arrangements and insurance will be more efficient, more effective, and freer of political interference and power-games than any federal program.
Obamacare was intended mostly to give employers a way to dump their employees' health plans and flow the premiums to the bottom line, ever so bonusably for the executive suite.
Companies that dump their plans can be made subject to punitive taxation, and executives' compensation bumps can be taxed away -- "legislating ag'in 'em" is an old American remedy for economic misbehavior.
Abolishing Obamacare is the realization of the basic idea that solutions closer to home than the District of Columbia with its welter of expensive entertainments are always better solutions. Unless you enjoy supporting Senator Menendez's sexual appetites ..... and other appetites and needs .... times 100.
I concur. E6, we just might inspire a whole new tone in FR world! <^..^>
A ray of hope.
