Location: Northeast Nebraska | Bibliafarm - 2015-03-22 11:12 AM RidenFly - 2015-03-22 11:40 AM I don't doubt the GOP won't shoot itself in the foot again by thumbing it's nose at Constitutional conservative. They'll probably do what they did last time and ignore grassroots and chose a puppet like Bush. And it looks as if our new member, arion has been around for awhile. Nice to see you again, Dear. ... What about Ben Carson? I havent kept up lately.. your thoughts? not strong enough mentally , not security intelligent? Im all ears.. if anyone knows ...

She has given everyone enough ammunition to blow her out of the water You guys don't get it. My son married into a liberal family. They truly do not care how much someone like Hillary messes up. They are into "social justice," debt forgivness of student loans, freedom of choice, gay marriage and they don't mind electing a murdering, lying person so long as they get to feel good about what they did. Yes, for some reason, this makes them feel good.
A recent poll at Texas Tech showed few college students knew who won the civil war. Do you think they care about four murdered men in a place they can't pronounce?
I would love Cruz, Jindal, Carson or even Perry but don't think any of them can win.
Killary. The blood doesn't drip from her thieving, grasping claws, it runs. |

Love Condolezza. I would definitely vote for her. She is a true lady - tough, smart and classy. She has a wide knowledge base. |

| Are we going to have another election cycle where some folks are going to preach that we shouldn't support who we want because the GOP Think Tank doesn't find them "Electable?" I hope not. It got us a big fat nothing last time around. Wanna know why Romney lost? Because when they finalled up their tally, GRASSROOTS stayed home. You know, the people who actually still don't give a rip about what some stuffed suit says about how they should think or where they should place thier votes?
Condoleeza is a genius. She won't run because she's too smart. |

Are we going to have another election cycle where some folks are going to preach that we shouldn't support who we want because the GOP Think Tank doesn't find them "Electable?"  I hope not. It got us a big fat nothing last time around.  Wanna know why Romney lost? Because when they finalled up their tally, GRASSROOTS stayed home. You know, the people who actually still don't give a rip about what some stuffed suit says about how they should think or where they should place thier votes?  Â

Yes, that's right, Obama won because Republicrats were stubborn and stupid and the Democrats got out their vote in record numbers. That's exactly what will happen again barring some miracle. Dumb asses threw their lollipops in the dirt and didn't care enough to stop and think that Obama and the Progressives needed to be stopped. They didn't care enough too get their lazy asses to the polls......under the guise of "sticking to principles", we are all paying the price.
I like Ted Cruz, but you have to ask yourselves what has he actually done? I think at this point in time he should remain right where he is. When you think about it, he is basically the conservative's version of Obama. He's the "anti-Obama", if you will. Like Obama, he's a junior senator. Like Obama, he's lacking in executive experience. He's basically Sarah Palin with balls.
Scott Walker is an impressive guy. He's battle hardened, yet he has been steadfast in his conservative principles. He said what needed to be done for Wisconsin, said what he would do.....then he was elected.....then he did what he said he would do. He withstood a withering barrage from the left, which included the full might of the labor unions across the country, as well as every liberal heavyweight the progressives could throw at him......all this in a traditionally left wing state. I like his cool demeanor and his clarity. |

Agree with you on Cruz.......yes he's talked a lot etc and should stay where he is at.......yes to Scott Walker.
Cruz will not get the GOP nominee he will be shredded to bits with his conservative values the liberal media will have a hay day on moral beliefs.
example same sex marriage........

Location: Displaced Iowegian | Cruz......oh H*LL NO.........The only thing that I have seen from him is that he is a master at "filibuster". All but one of his 40+ sponsored bills haven't made it out of committee. Additionally, he has made too many enemies in the Republican party. I, too, see Walker as a viable choice .....right now......minds can be changed as others step up!

Oh, yeah.... We did go several rounds last time, didn't we Scott over this whole vote for who we say and not who you want thing, didn't we? But you have to remember, so many people under the umbrella of
"Republican" Are in fact, NOT. That's probably where you should be more concerned. The Democrats are like K.C. said. "GLUED and TATTOOED to whatever feel good candidate the party dangles at them. It's going to be hard to beat that no matter what. BUT c'mon. Put the blame where it belongs. It belongs with the GOP OLD GOATS that keep giving us SHIITTTY choices with OLD Fluckers that don't give a hoot about anything but dancing on the establishment strings. Nobody connects with that message anymore. |

Such a scary thought. Did you see the media laughing because at a Princeton basketball game the crowd cheered to Obama "Four More Years?" |

West coast will go for him.Â
Are you nuts? Some of the most populated liberal strong holds are on the West coast: Seattle, Portland, Eugene, Medford, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego.....
Those cities repeatedly screw the rest of their states because of their numbers. I live in Oregon and if you look at a voting map, the entire state EXCEPT for the I-5 corridor (Portland, Eugene, Medford) is agriculture-based and conservative. We still manage to repeatedly elect liberal leaders every voting cycle because of the population in those areas.
There is no way that the West coast will play a key role in getting ANY conservative nominee into the White House - much less Ted Cruz. |

I'm so confused. Your post that I replied to said "West coast will go for him." You wrote that in response to somebody else saying that "the west coast and east coast will never go for him."
As in "the west coast will vote for him" or "the west coast will like him" or "the west coast will love him"
Is that not what you meant?

I'm sorry. I was being snarky. The West is solid blue. I don't know a republican that can take California, Oregon or Wash. |
