Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

I don't think it had/has anything to do with her political leanings. It was simple common sense.

It was interesting watching her face as Cruz talked. Under-impressed would be a polite way to put it.

Fox is in an awkward spot right now. Its owner isn't in the same place politically as the current management team.

She is trying to act like a journalist. She is clearly bothered by claims that she is a hack.

Marco Rubio Said He Wants to Have a Beer With Malala, An Underage Muslim
What's next, a ham sandwich with Netanyahu?

Today, presidential contender Marco Rubio fielded questions at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire. One of the questions he was asked was who he would like to “have a beer with" out of anyone in the world who is not a politician.

Rubio replied he would like to have a beer with football legend Dan Marino, Russian chess prodigy Gary Kasparov and Malala Yousafzai.


The first two are acceptable answers. The third is odd, considering that Malala, the famed Pakistani girls' education activist, is both underage and Muslim. She is also a socialist, something Rubio probably doesn't approve of.

If Rubio is vying to be the president of the United States, he should probably try to avoid these sort of diplomatic faux pas, before he starts asking for a ham sandwich with Benjamin Netanyahu.

Apples and oranges... Sales of semi-auto rifles taking place without an ID? You of course mean private sales? How to private sales of firearms compare to voting in an election? Your anti-gun bias is once again showing.

I am not anti-gun. I'm anti armed-nutsack. Twenty years ago I believed I should be allowed to own any weapon I choose so long as I wasn't using it illegally. I didn't believe in any sort of registration.

But somewhere along the way the nutsacks got armed. And worse started shooting. Not the one on one way most blacks do it, the way only white guys aged between 20 and 50 do it - lots of victims, a lot of them women and children, by and largely unknown to the shooter. Guys who look like you and me with some weird grievance with the government and against other classes of people.

We need o do something. Background checks, permits to buy, disarming anyone with a protection or restraining order on them, mandatory arms education in public schools, certification to be able to own arms.

Guys like us have ruined open arms ownership and now everyone else has to suffer until we can be trusted with arms again.

Not a shock to see Fox with more sense than CNBC after watching that disaster. I commented a week or so about how the number on the stage has to go down. This aint rocket science but both CNN and CNBC failed in basic competence.

EDIT: Hard to see how Christie stays in this. Course I never saw why he would get in it. He seems to be a very delusional fella.

If only the media had looked into Obama's background as much as they look into everyone in the GOP's background. They never seem to be lacking in stories from everyone's youth, but totally lacked any stories from Obama's youth.

I know, totally off topic, but I am confused. I thought the other day, you implied you were a woman (something like "as a woman..") , yet in this posts you said "guys like you and me." I'm not fussing or anything, just curious of your gender.

Ben Carson admits fabricating West Point scholarship

Who is the preacher of any of the GOP candidates church?
Which grade school did any of the GOP candidates attend?
Which GOP candidates smoked dope?

The funny thing is I know many things about Obama's past that were reported in the media but have not been reported about the GOP candidates.

Unless he has taken the route of my Uncle Bill, now Aunt Kay, then he very well could be both right now. Aunt Kay hasn't and doesn't plan on having a sex change and is still married to a woman in a heterosexual relationship. She's just happy dressing like a woman, having boobs and a wig. Where she moved to, no one knows her as Bill, only Kay.

Most of that information was in Obama's 2 books. What did the news media dig up?

And most of the stuff about Carson was in his book.
And Trump has written several books.

Has Trump been found lying?

It depends on whether you think a million dollar loan is a small loan.
