Iâm sooooo hurt.
No wonder the right loses so many battles, we are populated by a bunch of wimps. People that seriously thought that Bible verses would stop gay marriage, or that âturning the other cheekâ is an actual campaign strategy. People more afraid of church ladies.
If a curse word makes your tummy hurt so badly, then what the hell are you doing in the middle of a political war?

Lowering the bar just a bit, are we? Can you document a single instance when Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Coolidge, or Reagan ever resorted to using these curse words, especially against members of their own party, that you now seem so flippant and fine with just because your choice nominee of the day utters them?
If the situation were reversed and Cruz had used the same salty language to label Trump, do you expect us to believe you’d be championing Cruz for “not being a wimp”?
I still happen to like Trump and he’s my second choice for the Republican nomination, but I’m not going to turn a blind eye and rewrite the standards of common sense decency just because one of my faves engage in bad behavior.

"In his landmark biography of Washington, Ron Chernow summarizes a few contemporary recollections of Washingtonâs reaction when he encountered Lee abandoning the field:
"You damned poltroon," Washington rejoined, "you never tried them!" Always reluctant to resort to profanities, the chaste Washington cursed at Lee "till the leaves shook on the tree," recalled General [Charles] Scott. "Charming! Delightful! Never have I enjoyed such swearing before or since." Lafayette said it was the only time he ever heard Washington swear. "I confess I was disconcerted, astonished, and confounded by the words and the manner in which His Excellency accosted me," Lee recalled. "
Regan outtakes (cover your ears):

I dont want to post a wall of text, but you can easily find instances of virtually every president doing this. Only a complete novice of political history acts like it's new.

LOL! Am I Ned Flanders? I would comment that he seems to has dropped the holier-than-thou act, and then tell him to go f-off. Because I dont faint hearing curse words. I dont even think pussy is even a real curse word!
