Nastiest GOP Debate Yet
politico.com ^ | February 13

Posted on 02/13/2016 8:29:54 PM PST by Helicondelta

An all-out brawl broke out on Saturday night's debate stage, as the GOP candidates viciously tried to wound each other ahead of next weekend's South Carolina primary.

Donald Trump skewered Jeb Bush for standing by his brother and the Iraq War. Bush slammed John Kasich for supporting Obamacare's Medicaid expansion. Marco Rubio and Trump called Ted Cruz a serial liar, and Cruz bit back, retorting that Rubio is weak on undocumented immigrants

Yes, it was wrong on so many levels. But on the other hand, those antiquities won’t be destroyed by ISIS.

W managed to tick off just about every group in America. Bashing him is not a loser and takes that away from the Rat candidate in November. Trump is already running for November and will not be tied down defending Bush. If he is the nominee the election will not be about Bush, which is what the Rats want it to be about.

I am sorry, but that was part of it. Saddam tried to kill his father and GWB was pissed about that.

I would expect any president to be pissed than any former president had been targeted for assassination. I would expect retaliation even if the target were Clinton or 0bama.

I would not expect it to be a war for anyone but I listed a lot more than that didn't I? The rest of your post is irrelevant to my point.

09/11 was too big an event to simply pass up comment on.

I view 09/11 as more of Clinton’s responsibility, but eight months is a long time. I think Bush bares some measure of ownership.

Where I really throw the book at Bush, is his willingness to accept an actual increase in Saudi Students here on VISAs. IMO < that was just a clear case of ignoring the threat.

Seventeen “students” pulled 09/11 off. Bush increased the number of Saudis here on those VISAs to over 30,000.

That’s where I would criticize him. We were extremely luck not to have a repeat of violence.

And we are the ones that lost our airports to the “check-point charlie” mentality.

I still don’t think homeland security is worth a damn.

I have very seldom been impressed by the security crews at the airports I’ve flown out of.

Some of the choices they make for extra scrutiny are just nutty.

My wife was a very pretty woman. She would get chosen about 50% of the time we flew.

I’d try to stay nearby for her protection and support, and I would be ordered to leave or else.

So no, I’m not a big Bush fan in relation to 09/11, at all.

Umm, conservatives care about PP.

PP murders more Americans every year than ISIS ever has.

Donald is a left of center blowhard nationalist. Even worse, he's a huckster salesman whose word means less than zero.

And Middle East was calm. Now genie is out of the box. Currently, US is financially very weak. US never recovered after 9/11. I am really worried about my future.

He was saying 9/11 was Bush’s fault because it happened on his watch.

Do you agree?

I know that Bush didn’t “keep us safe” on 9-11. Could he have prevented the attack? You don’t know that a smarter and more engaged, and less PC president, might not have been more on the ball than Bush was.

Ann Coulter points out that Bush — before 9-11 — came out against “racial profiling” of airplane passengers. Typical Bush.

Get over it already. Trump and you guys need to move on and stop crying all the time. Trump needs to do the decent thing and drop out to endorse Cruz - to avoid a brokered convention.

The voters do care, but they have listened to Trump.

Folks, we have to trust every one of these people. How did trust work out with Bush?

I’m tired of the warmed over party hacks.

Lets give a CEO a try.

Has this nation drifted Right or Left over the last 30 years?

Every damned time we supported the GOPe hack.

What has that gotten us?

Trump!

Going for war was pre-planned. Much ahead.
When I do my prediction, I always check underground Museum cataoques. List of countries gives pretty good idea where Arab Spring will happen/ create fake issues. Egypt, Libya, Syria, Yemen. I was on dot.

Teddy never did show us the face of God tonight. :-)

He stood up for the babies; that's good [and godly] enough!

I think we really are at the End of Days. YHWH redemption plan has run six days (6000 years), it is time for the Sabbath day (1000 years). Israel is back in the land. All the nations hate Israel. Jerusalem is a stumbling block for all nations. The Revelation 12:1 great sign in the heavens occurs literally in the sky on September 23-24, 2017.

Read you Bible and pray that you will be found worth to escape the Great Tribulation. If not, remember: Do Not Take the Mark of the Beast on your forehead or right hand.

Coffee is for closers only!

Glengarry Glenross is a movie that still puts a pit in the stomach while watching it. I understand it was a play at first. Must have been wonderful. As for the movie, the acting was fantastic. All dialogue driven. Jack Lemmon was great in describing the sale to “Ricky” Ah...should get it outo fhte collection and watch it again.

Endorsed by the guy who expanded the socialist state. Not a good idea.
