What's the chance of Ted Cruz becoming president?

Poor conservatives. Those rotten liberals give them such a tough time.

Funny thing...as I mentioned in another thread...conservatives from coast to coast brag about their conservatism. Their politicians brag about being the "most conservative of the lot" when in a primary. Conservative here; conservative there; conservatives everywhere.

Liberals!

Hell, you gotta turn up rocks to find them. And even then they seldom use the word "liberal" to identify themselves. And when was the last time you heard a liberal politician proclaiming his/her liberalism...or claiming to be "the most liberal of the lot?"

Never...that's when.

Conservatives outnumber liberals by double digit majorities.

Yet the liberals present a danger to the conservatives they cannot handle. Constantly crying and bemoaning what the dirty liberals are doing to them.

What a joke American conservatism is!

A bunch of tail chasers.

So you've moved your silly argument to another thread Frank.

To the extent it indicates anything, it is that it is currently more advantageous for conservative politicians to lay claim to ideological credentials than for their liberal counter-parts.

What this can and probably means is that the ideological spectrum in the Republican Party is much wider than it is in the Democrat Party.

When everyone is cut from the same ideological mold, there is little opportunity to draw distinctions on that basis.

It might also indicate, as McGentrix suggested, that thanks to the Vietnam era scramble to be the biggest liberal on the block, the term has negative connotations with the general public ("stinks" as he put it). Why else the move to "progressive"?

Do you really believe that this point-in-time situation means that there are significantly fewer self-identifying liberals (not-with-standing a reluctance to lay claim to the identity for the stink) than conservatives?

Really?

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Ted Cruz is the greatest gift to Democrats since the Iraq war.

Yes silly.

Because liberal politicians have no political reason to loudly declare that they are liberal, there are no liberal politicians.

That's, at best, silly.

Whether or not they choose to self-identify as liberals, if they walk like a liberal and quack like a liberal...

Get it now?

Hillary(What difference does it make) Clinton. Proven liar, and who ever wants to be her lap dog as a running mate?

So it is alright to lie to the families of the dead and blame it on a video? That is the difference it makes.

She is a liar and an elitist. And if you think Obama is power hungry, you aint seen nothing yet.

Very funny. But her endorsement of world wide gun control, and her signing on to world wide blasphemy laws is not a lie.

You want to continue ignoring Clintons record as SOS, go right ahead.

He loves the Spotlight so much, he doesn´t care if he destroys the GOP and our economy.

Obama is impressed with himself....being narcissistic, his eagerness to apply his mental prowess overshadows his ability to reasonably apply a stratagem in an exploitable manner. Preoccupation with self is most transparent in the egotistical Barak Obama who looks with disdain on others. Obama is also a palpable liar and one of the countries most transparent political dissimulators.

What is the "hack" for? Our president is a hack.
