Game time.

Do I believe in contract law? Absolutely. Is Social Security a contract? Absolutely not. The government can change the law any time our legislators get together and conspire to do so, which they have done numerous times already. The only obligation the government has is the one enumerated under current law. If tomorrow the government decides to change the law and stop paying out Social Security, that is completely within their legal authority. There is no contract. We can't sue if they change the law.

So how to fix it? Ponzi schemes cannot be fixed. They can only be ended. And to end it, it must be turned over to an entity that is held accountable to those it serves under legal contract. Because the individual can enter a contract with a private investment firm where no such contract existed with a heavily armed government.

So the only thing to do at this point is to reduce any future obligation by allowing people to opt out. That is the Conservative position. Getting the government the hell out of the way.

And I noticed that you still have not revealed your own position on this. Should Social Security be privatized. If you answered 'yes', then Cruz is your candidate. If you answered 'no', then you are covered by Rubio, Trump, Sanders, or Hillary. And if you didn't answer at all, then you are a coward.

Thanks Sarah.

If I test my phone’s speed and it’s good, does that mean anything?

after it charges, i’ll try it.

[Artcore]

world, then won’t let go. Rush has pimped Cruz and Rubio aka anyone but Trump for weeks. He’s cut away to Cruz’s press conference as though that was some kind of breaking news, said if you’re a conservative you have to vote for Cruz etc.

The kids have moved out but Dad still wants to call the shots.

And Bush jumped in front of Kasich again.

In the Bush headquarters, the news lady says it feels like a party but you see a lot of people walking out.

[CCGuy]

Carson deserves to have much better numbers than Bush and Kasich.

He is not my first or second choice, but Carson is a much better man than Bush or Kasich any day.

Yes, and his approach was “Trump”. This may mark the end of the vaunted “ground game” and conventional retail politics.

[Yaelle]

I think the Kasich Bush votes would go to Rubio.

[apillar]

Well, I don’t like Nate Silver’s little rag but he was right about this: once Cruz moves out of the heavily evangelical south, he’s gonna get clobbered-—MA, NJ, NH, CT, MI, CA, PA-—these won’t be Cruz friendly states.

I still think he will win TX and Utah.

It's looking like this race will come down to Trump and Rubio and I think that is exactly what Trump wants. He saw how easily Christie destroyed Rubio and knows that Rubio has a glass jaw and he can easily do the same thing to him Christie did, that is why he's been aiming all his fire at Cruz and ignoring Rubio.

[PJBankard]

Someone else posted it on the the other thread. I just had to repost over here.

[Gator113]

THAT is the number one reason I went with Trump. For almost 7 months I was for Cruz (even donated $1,200 to him), then he stepped in it for me (long list), and I took an even closer look at Trump.

I am happy with todays results.

Thank you God.

Kraut looking a little constipated similar to NH primary night. :-)
