Just reading the header of you post, it's obvious he has you scared to death. He is the kind of man we need a lot more of. If we did we wouldn't have a gay communist leading our country into disaster..
Putin is now in charge of the world thanks to Queenie...

No, I borrowed the term from a 2008 Obama voter: Walter Russell Mead.

If you want a clue to the failed "blue model", look at California. California has the highest taxes, highest poverty rate, and terrible public school test scores. People in CA pay more yet get less. You think this is a winning agenda?

I've got news for you...It's places like "blue" NY that carry the red states by paying more than their share of taxes...
Blue NY and CA are in trouble. If NY ever loses its Wall Street cashcow, its finished.

Speaking of Walter Russell Mead, here is his take: After NYC Primary, Dems are Betting the Ranch on Wall Street | Via Meadia

When an entire party meets behind closed doors with the sole purpose of obstructing a new POTUS with total disregard of the American people and how their obstruction will harm them, you've got a party that needs to GO! They are toxic.
The Democrats are the party hurting America. They passed the massively destructive ObamaCare behind closed doors, late a night, without reading the bill, and without a single GOP vote. The democrats have a total disregard for democracy and the American people.

Fighting against an agenda that is destructive to the American people is not obstructionism.

A birther! What fun! Did you get kicked off FR in the latest birther purge, so you've come to spread your mierda here? I look forward to watching you guys take Cruz down from within the party. Should be great entertainment.

This idea to defund 0bamacare is not the way to go, we need to completely repeal it. If all you do is defund 0bamaCare, then essentially you've admitted that you've lost.

I haven't read the majority of the thread, so excuse me if this was already covered.

Congress has less than a 10% approval rating, and this has been the case for many years.

We are nearly $17 trillion in debt.

We have well over 10 million illegals in this country.

The percentage of able-bodied people in the workforce has been decreasing as the number of people on benefits has been increasing.

Practically every piece of legislation coming out of DC has a ton of pork included.

We have been involving ourselves, with military force, in the business of other countries for decades.

Members of congress leave congress much more wealthy than when they entered.

Members of congress can legally trade stocks with inside information.

Essentially, we have had a crappy government for decades who have done a terrible job, and when somebody comes along who practically all the established politicians on both side oppose, they are labeled as crazy?

Hey, if y'all believe the status quo in DC has been working well for you as you elect the same people over and over, you just keep at it then.

If your goal is to have the citizens dependent upon a ruling class government, then yes, it is a winning agenda.

Sure. And it's 100% fact that his mother was an American citizen, thus making Cruz eligible. But being a birther, you already knew that.

Read the US Constitution.


Birthers are folks who believed the Honolulu born Obama was actually born in a foreign country, thus making him ineligible to run for POTUS as per the US Constitution.

At least birthers comprehend the Constitution.

McCain was eligible because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which at the time was US Territory.

They said that in 2010 and in 2012. Dems gained seats. Unfortunately for the GOP, they brought out an even bigger clownshow both times. Care to place any bets on which Senate candidates will utter a real enlightening comment about rape or abortion?
