2016 Election
Kasich looks good just because he isn't one of those 4......
Maybe Wiz was in a bad mood? Happens to the best, of the best, of us. I volunteer to serve 1/2 of the days, if that is still allowed. I know, odd number. How about 3 of the 4 days? I like to read Bluejay input, more than I like to read mine, even if I find him offensive and uppity, on occasion. He's pretty good with sentence structure and punctuation. OK, maybe that wasn't the best argument. Still, I'd be happy to serve half the sentence (leaving town for a couple days, so what the hell). If BlueJ is a bad guy, he'll reveal himself that much quicker, then you can hit him on the head with a hammer (video pls). Just saying...Quote: Mission146Wizard JUST gave him a Warning.

This government has no problem letting terrorists and other evil-doers enter this country.
But try carrying a piece of fruit through customs and see what happens.
The Enquirer has been "in on the action" for a mighty long time. Trump and Pecker go a long way back as really good friends, including their cross-endorsing each other.Quote: terapinedLooks like the National Inquirer is getting in on the action

"It doesn’t hurt that Pecker and Trump have supposedly been good friends for years. “They’re very close,” a source close to the Enquirer told New York magazine in October. The insider also told New York that the Trump campaign was allegedly the source for a negative Enquirer cover story on rival candidate Ben Carson, headlined, “Bungling Surgeon Ben Carson Left Sponge in Patient’s Brain!” (Both the Trump campaign and Pecker flatly denied the allegation.)
Meanwhile, Trump’s other political enemies, such as Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz (called “Boozin’ Ted” by the tabloid), and Jeb Bush have been absolutely savaged in the pages of the Enquirer." -- daily beast

And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshiping of others).....
Koran 8:60
And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes, missiles, bombs) to threaten the enemy of Allah....
Koran 8:65
O Prophet (Muhammad)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be one hundred, they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve.
Koran 9:5

Jesus taught love, Conservative so called christians teach hate and discrimination
What religion do the majority on criminals in USA prisons belong too? Christians of course
Just as Christians have there deadbeat criminals, Muslims are no different.
Quote: terapinedJesus taught love, Conservative so called christians teach hate and discrimination
Many...most.."Conservative Christians" teach and walk a walk of love and forgiveness. They may not believe exactly as some would have them believe, but they also don't compel someone to attend THEIR particular church. This constant bullcrap of bringing up Christians when talking about Radical Islamic Terrorists is political correctness gone absolutely nuts. They aren't the same, Not even close.
Some Christians did bad things in the name of their religion, mostly a long time ago. Deal with the issue at hand (again, Radical Islamic Terrorists interested in killing everyone who does not believe like they do) and don't try to make it look better by saying "well the did it"...
Are there some "Christians" who take things too far? Sure. They are not killing people, though.
Having a different opinion is not automatically "hate"...Radical Islamic Terrorists prostituting children, killing people who do not believe in their position, etc. is "hate"...
Quote: RonCAre there some "Christians" who take things too far? Sure. They are not killing people, though.
It's best to blame all of Christianity for any faults of any of them, just like they want to do for Muslim terrorist.
If you're going to blame Islam for any individuals, it would be hypocritical not to blame all of Christianity for any individual wrongs.
They may not be acting against infidels and apostates right now. But all indications are that half in the U.S. endorse jihad and sharia.Quote: terapinedNo I don't know

I blame Radical Islamic Terrorists for the incidents of terrorism. I blame President Obama for poor leadership in not bringing together a coalition that includes Muslim nations and non-Muslim nations to fight Radical Muslim Terrorists in their current locations to prevent more of them from spreading their terror around the world. I credit President Obama for getting a few leaders of late, but we need to kill more of them--we need to instill fear in them just as they try to instill fear in us.
I also believe that, when we make the decision to let people into our country, we should be able to vet them completely before their arrival. If we cannot do so, we should assist them in place instead of bringing them here. This goes for every single person we allow in; it really isn't a special rule for Muslims...they just happen to be the ones who it would impact right now. At a time when it takes 20 people to kill 3000 and one person to kill 10's or even 100's of people, we shouldn't just let everyone in because it feels good.
(and I blame the Christian individuals that did bad things for doing bad things...)
Nice try, though!!

I don't buy that for one second.
"Too much scandal" -? Yeah, cause the media is afraid of reporting about scandal... All the talk I've seen on the cable channels today is that no one has heard of this until now, and there isn't one shred of evidence to back it up.
This seems like a hit job done by Trump's buddy at the National Enquirer.
Glad he's playing this card now so if the Enquirer writes up some anti-Hillary "bombshell" during the general election, we will know the source....
Also, didn't the Enquirer say Hillary had 6 months to live last October? Her time is running out!
Let's see your reliable numbers. Seeing as how you have not seen fit to provide them, For those who rarely if ever cite any strong sources, here are the facts from as centrist a group as is known: pew.Quote: ams288"All indications" are that you pulled this post out of your rear end.
And here is just a smidgen of some of the more intelligent analysis available by the tens of thousands to explain what all this apparently very foreign culture means for Americans: “Since the majority of Muslims worldwide favor enshrining sharia law in their home country, why would they not want to support sharia law in any country they emigrate to? It is incoherent to assume that a Muslim from, say, Morocco (where 83 percent of Muslims favor sharia law) who emigrates to the United States would want to enshrine sharia law in Morocco but not the USA.. . .
If we take the accepted estimate of 2.75 million Muslims in the USA at present, the Pew polling data suggests that there are 220,000 Muslim Americans who believe that suicide bombings are often or sometimes justified to defend Islam from its enemies, 138,000 who hold a favorable or somewhat favorable view of al Qaeda, and more than 850,000 Muslim Americans who see a conflict between being a devout Muslim and living in a modern society such as that of the United States.”
am. thinker
Almost half the respondents openly admitted their not feeling part of America. If the fact that hundreds of thousands publicly conceded that suicide bombings were justifiable does not raise concerns, then I suggest frequenting airports, train terminals, stadiums and other gathering places where security is not of the highest order.

Really, that's good enough? In 2008, both
John Edwards and and the woman involved
both vehemently denied the charges for
months and months. As the evidence mounted
they both had to eventually come clean.
Every person ever accused in one of these things
always, 100% of the time, denies them over and
over and over.
Remember this? Watch the waving finger, he sure
sounded believable.
Quote: mcallister3200Well, we already know Trump had an affair with his current wife when with his past wife, but nobody really cares what Trump did/does, .
The reason it matters with Cruz is, he's a Bible
thumper. His dad is a pastor. Cruz depends
on the Evangelical vote. I can tell you from
first hand experience from people I know,
get caught having an affair and your
Christian 'friends' will turn on you like a pack
of roaming dogs. Will this story hurt him?
It sure as heck won't help him, true or not.

Yeah, if tomorrow, I wake up and can't get out of bed because I have Victoria's Secret model on each side of me and my bank account is still full of cash, I'll believe Ted Cruz had 5 affairs, because obviously anything can happen.

What the heck is money good for if it
doesn't land you a beautiful wife? Have
you seen Trump's wife. She's gorgeous,
and very smart. I never fault a guy for
doing that, good for him.
Cruz is powerful, he's a senator, and he
is also extremely smart. Many women
are attracted to that combination. Too
bad he's such a dick that to meet him
is to dislike him.
“Note how many colleagues and former associates ‘loathe’ him. A Bush alumnus told the New York Times’ Frank Bruni, ‘Why do people take such an instant dislike to Ted Cruz? It just saves time.’ Former Senate Majority leader Bob Dole says, ‘Nobody likes him,’ while Rep. Peter King sees ‘malice.'” Cytowic wrote. “According to The Washington Post, screenwriter Craig Mazin, Cruz’s former Princeton roommate, has called him a ‘huge asshole,’ and ‘creepy.’ He’s Tweeted, ‘Getting emails blaming me for not smothering Ted Cruz in his sleep in 1988.’

And also, believe it or not, I think Cruz would be a way worse President than Trump. I've come around to hoping that Trump gets the nomination. His negatives with women, Hispanics, blacks, etc. are too insurmountable for the general election. They showed a poll on MSNBC yesterday that said 48% of Republican women would have trouble voting for Trump.
Quote: ams288And also, believe it or not, I think Cruz would be a way worse President than Trump.
He could be as inflexible as Obama on compromise since he is so staunch in his conservatism. He doesn't play well with others. Of course, the Senators have no real reason to listen to him or like him because he is a junior Senator and has little impact overall. As President, just as with Obama, they would be forced to at least listen to him.

Those numbers look great for your side!!
I'd just love for everyone to buy into that hype and we'll see where it goes from there. "Having trouble" voting for Trump is not the same as "would vote" for Hillary. Go behind the curtain, and you have to decide which one is least unacceptable. A bad choice, but I bet it will be an easy one for Republicans. Trump has proven to be a resilient candidate. Oh, I still don't like him...but there is no way I would vote for Hillary or Bernie.
We'll see how things fall once the Republicans make the decision to give up the election by alienating the people who have thus far voted for Trump or to go with the results as they end up at convention time. I don't know if the polls showing everyone but Trump doing better against the Democrats account for the loss of trust that nominating someone other than leader after the primaries without some overwhelming reason to do so (like Trump sleeping with a donkey or committing a felony).
Quote: IbeatyouracesOther than his money, Trump isn't exactly a catch either.
Let's be realistic.
Sure women like money, that is no secret.
However, what women like even more than money is confidence, and one thing Trump does not lack is confidence and the ability to boast about his own achievements. I have a feeling Trump is somebody who could pull in women even if he was a normal middle class person simply by his overt confidence , there are plenty of women who naturally love men who stroke their own egos even without anything to be proud of....
From what I have heard, Trump is not a big sex person (which is why at least one of his past marriages failed), so I don't think Trump is a sex maniac, I think instead he likes women who pump his ego.
As for Cruz, is he really that unattractive? He is in decent shape, and really he is not that bad looking.... Though, I know he has a reputation for being a dork and a loner, so that would probably make him less attractive to women....
But, for as much as I don't care for Cruz he does legitimately seem to have a good relationship with his wife, so I can't hold that against him, they were through a lot of rough times and he seems like a loyal person.
But really, the idea that this election has come down to comparing wives is silly.... If Trump wins the nomination I don't even want to know what he will write about Hillary and Bill, it will be brutal. Especially since they used to be friends, he probably has some inside dirt on them...
Quote: RonCI'd just love for everyone to buy into that hype and we'll see where it goes from there. "Having trouble" voting for Trump is not the same as "would vote" for Hillary.
I agree they are not the same. And no one suggests that the people who would have trouble voting for Trump would vote for Hillary instead. A lot of them would simply stay home.
My parents have already said if it's Trump v. Hillary they aren't even gonna bother voting.
From my POV, that sounds great.

I think there will be a percentage that stays away. I caution against overconfidence in that favoring Hillary more than Donald...Donald has excited a lot of people; Hillary has followers but not much excitement. Obama won on excitement, not substance. His general election opponents were some of the least exciting people and he beat Hillary...all three had WAY more check marks as far as qualifications are concerned. Yes, Hillary does lead right now against Trump. The Republicans are a disorganized cluster-muster right now and the Democrats are basically settled on a candidate...once the Republicans settle in, things will change. We'll see which way, but weren't all of Obama's major opponents ahead of him at some point?
It will be an interesting ride!!
