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

“and Cruz called him out, in Spanglish.”


Loosely translated to “I’ll have the Morry Amsterdam sandwich, hold the pickled herring”.

“BUSH: “My mom is the strongest woman I know.”
TRUMP: “She should be running.”

That was HILARIOUS.

In a Tweet from Planned Parenthood;

—Planned Parenthood ✔@PPact
Tonight, @realDonaldTrump reaffirmed that he doesn’t believe women should have access to safe & legal abortion. #notmycandidate #GOPDebate

Trump is against abortion except for the health of the mother.

“Health of the mother” whenever passed into law, is used to allow ALL abortions. They get their “mental health” exemption every time and the abortion goes through.

— Cruz stated Trump supports continued funding Planned Parenthood. Trump screamed “Liar” and then basically affirmed Cruz’s accusation and then doubled down claiming Planned Parenthood does “good things.”

He said they do some good thing, and he supports those. He hates abortions though, and made that clear in his full statement, not some cherry-picked short phrase.

Sheesh! Will you stop with that lie? He said PP did some good things, but abortion was not one of the. He’s steadfastly pro-life. You cherry-pick one part of a paragraph, and are misrepresenting it!

—Though “The Donald” remains a steadfast pro-lifer and supports defunding the reproductive service provider, he also believes the organization has done some good for women.
“What I would do when the time came, I’d look at the individual things they do,” Trump told CNN back in August. “… and maybe some of the individual things they do are good.”

I do think Jeb is done.

I don’t think the anti American left is done.

The fantasy that America always lies about her war efforts and our enemies are poor victimized doves is pathologically dangerous

Trump knows where he is on a republican debate stage.

He agrees with code pink. He and Cindy Sheehan can team up and run. I won’t be voting for them because I love this nation and what it stands for.

The Middle East is never going to leave us alone. They must be defeated.

We will defeat them. We have turned the corner on OPEC.

but if every military strike is drowned in radical chants of you lied innocent died, we cannot win.

It’s been true since Vietnam and we all know it.

Trump shouted that mythological lie and it is why we cannot win.

“Health of the mother” can cover all abortions. Here’s a new ad from the Cruz Campaign:

I didn’t say we should be. On this thread or on any thread in the last sixteen years.

Then why state this as a reason to invade Iraq?

Saddam defied 17 UN resolutions that were a result of his losing the war. (again, that should count as 17 reasons but you get a break because I wouldn't want you to cry if you had to face reality.)

The middle east has been fighting amongst themselves for centuries. Good luck thinking you’re going to change that.

Some wars are worth fighting, some are not. Those we cannot win are the latter.

As I explained already I was responding to a post stating that “Bush 2 decided to take out Hussein because he felt that Hussein’s continued rule over Iraq was affront to Bush1” and I was demonstrating the falsity of that by posting the reasons given by Bush 2 and his administration at the time.

Yes, once again Trump won. The debate was a disgraced. Stacking the audience was a cheap shot. Even some of those who do not support Trump and Cruz felt it went too far, with the audience trying to become part of the debate.

After this fiasco - the worst debate - perhaps Trump, Cruz, and Carson might consider skipping other debates.

Jefferson fought the Barbary pirates by constituting the US marines.

We utilized moderate Muslim partners to help us over throw the pirate base at Tripoli.

Some wars are worth fighting— but all the ones we win are worth supporting and not telling slanderous lies about our leaders in order to make the world safe for our enemies.

We have been doing that since Vietnam.

Trump is a coward who panders to the basest instincts.

Clinton and Sanders both shout that the Iraq ware is the “worst foreign policy mistake in US history.”

He agrees with THEM and a huge part of Free Republic cheers and says yes— give us more.

Not me.

Its a lie of the first order. It is at the heart of what our enemies need— our self defeat.

I will not kneel before this comic Plutocrat who thinks his New York Values rightly mock conservatives.

does he naively think that when he deploys military force that the anti american forces rhetorically rail against his “lies” that it won’t work?

His cowardice last night in joining arms with the radical left is despicable.

I will not applaud.

Go ahead if you want to join in. I will not.

You can be happy with 15 more years in the middle east accomplishing nothing and trillions of dollars spent. I think we need to try something new.

Sources close to the process who work for the RNC, but are not authorized to speak on the record, confirmed to Breitbart News throughout the evening on Saturday that that is standard operating procedure for the RNC and the party as a whole for all debates: Donors get tickets while voters have to watch on TV at home.

The RNC/GOPe/Neocon Uniparty elite thugs have been the overseers of the Faux Conservative plantations since 1961. These overseers keep trying to trick/betray/control us to stay on/in their faux conservative plantations by selecting their ilk/puppets as our candidates. They lie and promise us conservatism and when elected $crew us daily in congress and as POTUS! Or stack debate audiences with their hand picked thugs ordered to boo Trump and cheer for their idiots!

In NH, Trump and his voters ignored them. His voters then voted big time for Trump. They won and broke the rules of the plantation masters by voting for Trump in NH. This is scaring the hell out of our former neocon GOPe masters of the faux conservative plantations and their ilk, the Club for Growth.

It is wonderful to see this decades old, long standing corrupt political system disintegrating right before our eyes. This corrupted system hates working Americans. It rewards illegals and those who bring them into America to freeload off the American workers slaving in the faux conservative plantation.

We are seeing a paradigm shift with us selecting our Presidential Candidate, instead of the GOPe/Uniparty elites, who hate us, selecting our candidates.

There is a Black Swan event occurring with the daily suicidal self wrought destruction of the GOPe, UniParty, Open Border Thugs, DC faux pundits, Faux News, ABCNNBCBS and the left wing fish wraps. Something similar may be happening with the DEMes.

Many of us are looking forward to seeing the broken bones, drying blood and entrails of the Lying GOP Open Borders Elite, The Club for Growth, the UniParty, their DC faux conservative pundits, their mediots, their phoney pollsters and focus groups, Faux, ABCNNBCBS, their hired tv and radio hacks strewn across the primary states as much as our victories in those states.

We have escaped from their faux conservative plantations. We are not going back for more lies, abuse and mistreatment from our former GOPe masters.

We will vote for Trump and destroy them!

Reasonable, my original statement does not apply to you but it still stands. I apologize for any offense.
