JanSParticipantoh, and if you really give a damn what people in Iowa think, he’s 10 points ahead in the polls there…

TanDLParticipantTime to start demanding his birth certificate. Is he really a U.S. Citizen? :)

JKBParticipantCalgary. That’s a suburb of Omak, isn’t it?

wakefloodParticipantLuckily, Cruz can be torpedoed by his own quotes if he gets to run against the D’s.
The guy has a history of saying – and doing – stuff that can be easily positioned as radical and beyond the pale, not to mention just plain wrong on the facts.
Unfortunately, thanks to gerrymandering, the House and potentially the Senate could be retained even if the GOP gets crushed in the Presidential general election.

HMC RichParticipantMan, if he wins how many of you will be in counseling?

SmittyParticipantWhy do you guys hate Hispanics?
December 15, 2015 at 8:13 am #829458
JanSParticipantSmitty….I hope you’re being sarcastic. His last name being Cruz has not a thing to do with the distaste I feel for this man.
Rich? No chance in hell….at least I’d like to believe that. He wants to give every far right fundie evangelical their wish…do away with fed.government, and have a “state” religion running the show. We’re smarter than that, I hope.

JoBParticipantHMCRich and Smitty
if Cruz wasn’t Republican.. would you support him at all?
if you would, why?
December 15, 2015 at 2:38 pm #829465
SmittyParticipantJan, just adopting what I’ve been hearing for 7 years.
If I don’t like an Obama policy it has nothing to do with his policy and everything to do with his race.
Does that not work anymore?
December 15, 2015 at 2:46 pm #829466
kayoParticipantWhat Job said…Trump is just a smoke screen to make the other republicans look less insane. Yikes. Cruz IS just as bad or worse.

wakefloodParticipantThey don’t have a candidate that can’t be painted with the same brush, save Kasitch and Christie.
Neither of those guys have enough whack in their pack to get Tea Baggers out to vote. They secretly think Christie is a, and don’t say this outloud, a moderate. When in fact, he’s just a major a$$hole masquerading as a political opportunist.
Rubio has too much dirt. Jeb could have walked away with this if he gave a damn, and apparently he doesn’t, so…
…they’re an objectively verifiable clusterf*ck.

JoBParticipantSmitty..
i asked a good question.
My dislike of Cruz has everything to do with his polices and nothing to do with his party.
ditto for the rest of the current pack.
December 15, 2015 at 6:37 pm #829469
trickycooljParticipantTed Cruz the one who thinks birth control is an abortifacient? Better make sure to have my IUD replaced before the election to make sure it lasts throughout the next administration.
December 15, 2015 at 6:37 pm #829470
JTBParticipantNot even a “nice try” Smitty. More like a feeble attempt to put forward a diversion, however it requires ignoring the overt cries against the Kenyan, muslim, socialist and the more “subtle” references to Obama being un-American and “other.”
I do admit that the physical resemblance between Cruz and Joe McCarthy in addition to their similar demagogical prowess has made me consider my views on reincarnation.
December 15, 2015 at 7:06 pm #829471
wakefloodParticipantI like it, JTB. Cruz is the 1st reincarnation of the Dali McCarthy.
His fetid, evil soul transferred into the child at some horrible point in his life.

Mark32ParticipantHe’s not my first choice, but to me, Bernie is scary.
December 16, 2015 at 4:41 am #829475
JTBParticipantWakeflood, the notion of a staid, ritual authentication of a magical reincarnation the devoted can embrace at last offers a sensible understanding of what took place in the GOP debate tonight. Waiting for the gongs.
December 16, 2015 at 2:38 pm #829476
JoBParticipantMark32
i think anyone asking the kinds of questions that voters haven’t faced for decades has to be scary.
whether he wins the nomination or not.. he has created a conversation that is long overdue.
what i find scary are the huge numbers of tea party style voters who are flocking to Bernie.
i don’t think they hear anything except “stick it to the man” …
and he has so much more to say than that.

tom kelleyParticipantSome months ago someone asked why conservatives are so rarely heard from on the blog. If you look at this thread truly objectively you’ll find 21 reasons why.

tom kelleyParticipantDecember 17, 2015 at 1:22 am #829489
wakefloodParticipantHi Tom Kelley!
If you’re referring to the fact that those posters (raising my hand) couldn’t take Cruz – or literally almost ALL of the current GOP candidates – seriously, you might be willing to look at the fact that many of the people with the $ on Wall St. and other powerful folks have decided the very same thing as us whacko liberals.
The leadership, as it were, of the GOP party are quite literally shaking their heads at the crop of recruits and have been scouring the country looking for a viable candidate. They’ve begged the guy who got crushed last time out to try again and he wouldn’t touch it with a ten meter cattle prod.
So, if THEY aren’t taking these folks seriously, why should the loyal opposition? And that’s not even taking into account the fact that much of what these folks have publicly said is either wrong on the facts, scarily jingoistic, or just a demonstrable failure in terms of policy. Did you not LIVE through the GWB era? That stuff CLEARLY doesn’t work.
So…if I ask myself objectively why conservatives don’t pipe up on this blog, I’d have to suggest that they don’t have anything viable for me to consider when stepping into the marketplace of ideas.
Or maybe that sounds too harsh?
December 17, 2015 at 2:01 am #829492
Mark32ParticipantJoB, conversations are always good, I just wish people looked beyond the sound bite. In the eyes of too many people if your a Republican your an A$$hole, if your a Democrat your a tax and spender.
I’ll vote for whoever I think will balance the budget, I find it hard to do with more spending or tax breaks. I don’t care if they cut spending equally across the board, but I believe our debt is the biggest threat to our country.
