He passed along a news report!
Sheesh. He’s being called a greasy liar because he passed along a news report!
And the wonderful Christian Ben Carson refused to forgive him for passing along a news report!
And took vengeance by falsely claiming that Cruz had betrayed a confidence that Carson’s crew knew Cruz hadn’t done because they had done it, all so they could preach at how terrible Cruz was for passing along a news report!
I give up. There’s no way to fix stupid. Anybody who can’t understand this is either stupid or deliberately libeling Cruz.
I’m ready to wash my hands of this whole stinkin’ country. Not a sound bone in this nation’s body.
Most all the rest you wrote I cannot disagree with, either. The retelling of what Cruz generally is (pretty much the real deal as far as his political conservatism) and then the why and how of apparent campaign missteps. Only relatively small missteps is all it takes ---if you're not otherwise a rank, hustling womanizer (but enough about Billy Jeff), and how Trump had been able to capitalize on voter frustration from moment of entry into the race, working that to his own advantage --is-- how it happened in the last few paragraphs of the ever exciting saga of America's falling from grace (what grace could be mustered in the name of God -from Him, from His own promises made to mankind, and on account of what righteousness among the little people, the everyday working folk of America there has been throughout it's history --despite the perpetual scalawag class and assorted lower orders of everyday criminals).
But there right at the end --- as for the opportunistic Trump, that man doing much as you've laid it out, and people have been responding to it;
How far can this man be trusted? He looks like a hijacker, a high-stakes hustler. Who is it all for? I can't get it out of my head he may have been sent, not by God, but by the DNC.
I could explain that further, and have previously on these pages went into explanation for why I think that is highly possible, and could do so again, in this response to your reply. I wrote a long section addressing this aspect of my own suspicions ---but I'm cutting it out of this note. That should generate a sigh of relief somewhere, and my mentioning sighs of relief generate a rude response from some wise-acre who'll tell me he always "skips over" my comments. I can hardly wait until time to be personally insulted and abused, again.
Still, I wanted to provide acknowledgment of your own thoughtfulness, even as the question "how did we get this low" I did not expect anyone to answer.
I will only vote for Ted Cruz, or how ever is running against Trump.
No, he didn’t.
The news report NEVER stated that Carson was going to suspend his campaign.
Show me in the report where that conclusion was arrived at.
If you can’t show me where CNN reported that Carson was going to suspend his campaign, then you are lying in order to cover for Cruz.
What Cruz did, to put it quite bluntly, was lie to Iowa voters for their vote.
That is what he did.
He should have kept his mouth shut. It’s up to voters to choose who they vote for.
Once an election is underway, a candidate’s fate is in their hands.
If you are going to take an opportunity at that time to tell voters something that is not the truth, then guess what that makes you.
If you’re not going to campaign, what do you call that?
They didn’t say he was suspending his campaign. They said he was suspending campaigning. And he did. He now lists some town halls in NV but there was nothing listed for NH or SC. He suspended campaigning during that time.
From dictionary.com verb with object
7.
to cause to cease for a time from operation or effect, as a law, rule, privilege, service, or the like:
to suspend ferry service.
He suspended campaigning for a couple weeks after IA, just like he did when he wanted to take care of the death in his crew.
But just forget it. You’ll continue to say what you’re gonna say no matter what. And that’s the thing that sickens me.
“They didn’t say he was suspending his campaign. They said he was suspending campaigning.”
There is no difference. Those words have a specific meaning regarding people running for president.
Ted Cruz should have said nothing. He would have been better served to say nothing.
And yes, I am going to continue to say what I think it was, and apparently you are going to continue to defend a person who lied, because you want to elect that person president.
But I’m not going to tell you that I’m sickened by it. That’s what I expect people to do, they support their guy no matter what.
That’s the way it goes.
But it seems like this wasn’t a smart move for Ted. If you go around saying you are all about God, and then you do this, expect people to doubt you.
Tinkering with the rates is not serious reform. It’s not a structural change and it doesn’t make the system fair. Trump said repeatedly he wanted the rich to pay higher rates and wouldn’t even consider a flat tax or fair tax. That’s socialism-lite and it’s not reform.
Let’s focus on issues that anyone is going to remember a month from now. Carson is such a waste of time in the debates and a waste of space as a candidate that it truly isn’t worth spending any time discussing anything he says or anything about him anymore. By not dropping out after his dismal performances he’s showing himself to be someone who cares only about himself, not about the country.
Attack the victim because you want to elect the perpetrator president.
I get it.
But I’m not going to do that. Instead I’m going to show you how you are wrong.
Ted Cruz blew himself up on Fort Carson.
So Carson matters like that.
I have bad news for you. Southern states are southern states. AR is the only weak link at this point. Cruz has started the long goodbye. Its not going to turn around.
Those of us who do the research know that Cruz only talks the talk and doesn’t walk the walk.
I bought his line at first and made a couple of donations but something about him bothered me. So I called a friend down in TX and asked her about him.
She tells me that he’s just another lawyer who has questionable birth circumstances but won’t produce the paper work that woulld clear things up. Who ran for Senate as a boost to his presidential aspirations. Once in office, he missed a lot of what he was elected to do because he started running for president. He’s never held a real job of work or had to do payroll and all the hassles involved. Has a wife who boosted his upward mobility by talking a very lucrative position doing ? in a banking institution. Ted also has a very wierd-thinking pastor and a good friend/backer who seems to be a few nics off kilter.
So, she asks me....”How’s that working out for us now?
You want a do-over?”
Seeing as she put it that way, I guess not.
I’m in my early 30s and the only thing I’ve ever seen from that guy was a youtube clip where he was comically approached environmental doomsayers.
My argument against Donald Trump is his registration with the Democrat Party, his political contributions to the worst names in the Democrat Party, his friendships (the Clintons, Charles Rangel, Al Sharpton, Chuck Schumer), his progressive political positions (wealth tax, socialized healthcare, opposes any entitlement reform), his liberal positions (TARP, Obama Stimulus, homosexual agenda, abortion, Assault Weapon Ban), no history of ever supporting conservative causes, an incoherent amnesty plan, epic business failures at the expense of creditors/investors (Atlantic City, Trump Shuttle, Trump Mortgage, GoTrump.com travel, and more), and forth grade level speeches that are a salad bowl of demagoguery and empty platitudes. Conservatives are failing to support a Tea Party conservative that fought his own establishment repeatedly with a solid conservative record for an arrogant New York billionaire did what Bloomberg did..he couldn’t run as a Democrat so he jumped in the Republican primary. He’s ripping the Republicans into factions and supplying them with plenty of ammunition in the general election while having no chance himself to win. In my opinion, conservatives like myself haven’t seen a conservative President in our lifetime and when we finally have someone like Ted Cruz to support..they go for a phony that tells Sean Hannity that Chuck Schumer is a good friend and its time for everyone to get along. Trump supporters have nothing but poor excuses or an absolute refusal to acknowledge any of it.
