Knowing slash's past, I'm sure he's all aboard the Rand Paul train
Printable View
I sure am. I'm also a fan of Ted Cruz.
I met Rand back before he was even considering running for the Senate. He's a good guy and truly believes in what he's doing.
I haven't met Ted Cruz yet, but his record speaks for itself. He's not afraid to stand up for what he believes in.
Both of these guys are anti-establishment "tea party" types, and they're both beating Hillary in the polling.
It's early yet. From what I've bothered to actually pay attention to so far, the media is already trying to marginalize them as a couple of right wing fringe kooks. And the Clinton Smear Machine has yet to shift out of neutral.
The clip from The Daily Show that NJarhead posted with the media having an orgasm over Clinton having lunch at a damn Chipotle pretty much tells me everything I need to know...
:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:
The Clinton machine may have just crapped it's crankcase all over the staging area.

Not enough to make her perp-walk (which is what she deserves), but her chances of being the Dem nominee are fading fast. Even MSNBC is in on the feeding frenzy.
Yeah well, I'm still not convinced. They have basically a year to try to rehab her image, and don't think for a second that they wouldn't succeed.
I saw something today that reminded me of this, and so I'm posting it here.

Q. 38: (Dem voters)
Please tell me which one you would like to see as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Hillary is way out in front with 57%
Q.40: (Dem voters)
How concerned are you about allegations of Hillary Clinton’s dishonesty and unethical behavior?
Overwhelmingly, 68% are not concerned.
And here's the kicker...
Q.46: (all respondents)
How likely do you think it is that the Clintons were selling influence to foreign contributors who made donations to the Clinton Foundation?
Overwhelmingly, 61% say it's likely.
Dems: 41%
Independents: 66%
Republicans: 82%
The good news is that the independents are the ones who swing general elections and they line up with Republicans on this issue. Dem primary voters, OTOH, aren't convinced that this is a thing.
After seeing this, my hope is that the Dems will keep their heads in the sand long enough to give her the nomination and the GOP nominates somebody who's not dirty.
I work with die-hard liberals and they will vote democratic literally no matter what.
Obama could come to their house, kick their dog and throw their wife down the steps. To them, the dog shouldn't be inside the house anyway and the wife needs to pay attention to where she is standing.
Seriously.

On Friday he published an anchor's personal phone number, called for the resignation of a top executive and banned all of the channel's executives from using Trump's golf course in Miami.
Trump added a P.S.: "Please congratulate your Mexican Government officials for having made such outstanding trade deals with the United States. However, inform them that should I become President, those days are over."
http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/26/medi...-golf-courses/
I like Trump.
Still, the arrogant media is very adept at propping up and destroying whoever they want.
So between the media bias and the majority of this country being minorities I just don't see anyone but a democrat ever winning.
Donald Trump is a sideshow barker, but at least he'll be entertaining.

CRUZ OR LOSE!
Cruz: Any candidate not willing to make 2016 a referendum on repealing Obamacare should step aside
HOUSTON, Texas — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding the Supreme Court’s decision on King v. Burwell:
“For the second time in just a few years, a handful of unelected judges has rewritten the text of Obamacare in order to impose this failed law on millions of Americans. The first time, the Court ignored federal law and magically transformed a statutory ‘penalty’ into a ‘tax.’ Today, these robed Houdinis transmogrified a ‘federal exchange’ into an exchange ‘established by the State.’
“As Justice Scalia rightfully put it, ‘Words no longer have meaning if an Exchange that is not established by a State is ‘established by the State.” He also said, ‘We should start calling this law SCOTUSCare’ – I agree.
“If this were a bankruptcy case, or any other case of ordinary statutory interpretation, the result would have been 9-0, with the Court unanimously reversing the Obama administration’s illegal actions. But instead, politics intervened.
“For nakedly political reasons, the Supreme Court willfully ignored the words that Congress wrote, and instead read into the law their preferred policy outcome. These judges have joined with President Obama in harming millions of Americans. Unelected judges have once again become legislators, and bad ones at that. They are lawless, and they hide their prevarication in legalese. Our government was designed to be one of laws, not of men, and this transparent distortion is disgraceful.
“I have made repeal of this disastrous law a top priority since the first day I arrived in the Senate and have made its repeal central to my campaign. Any candidate not willing to do the same—and campaign on it every day—should step aside.

Trump talks immigration, gay marriage and ISIS
Trump doubled-down on his plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
"I like Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I do business with the Mexican people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all over. And they're bad. They're really bad," he told CNN's Jake Tapper.
"You have people coming in, and I'm not just saying Mexicans, I'm talking about people that are from all over that are killers and rapists and they're coming into this country," he maintained.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/06/28/politi...marriage-2016/
As much as I dislike Trump, I'm starting to think he's exactly what this country needs right now. He's not the typical PC bullshitter like the rest of them.
He has his money and his comfortable future. He doesn't need to lie, cheat and steal from us to secure it. I think he truly wants to bring this country back from the brink.
I'll be paying more attention to him.
I rolled my eyes when he announced he was running for POTUS as well but I have to say I like his no BS/PC approach.
In the end, none of it's gonna matter...

NBC to Trump: You're Fired
For Trump, any publicity is good publicity.
Donald Trump calls NBC 'weak and foolish'
“If NBC is so weak and so foolish to not understand the serious illegal immigration problem in the United States, coupled with the horrendous and unfair trade deals we are making with Mexico, then their contract violating closure of Miss Universe/Miss USA will be determined in court," Trump said in a statement to FOXNews.com. "Furthermore, they will stand behind lying Brian Williams, but won’t stand behind people that tell it like it is, as unpleasant as that may be.”
Trump!
US now has more Spanish speakers than Spain – only Mexico has more
The United States is now the world’s second largest Spanish-speaking country after Mexico, according to a new study published by the prestigious Instituto Cervantes.
The report says there are 41 million native Spanish speakers in the US plus a further 11.6 million who are bilingual, mainly the children of Spanish-speaking immigrants. This puts the US ahead of Colombia (48 million) and Spain (46 million) and second only to Mexico (121 million).
Among the sources cited in the report is the US Census Office which estimates that the US will have 138 million Spanish speakers by 2050, making it the biggest Spanish-speaking nation on Earth, with Spanish the mother tongue of almost a third of its citizens.

Cruz: ‘I Like Donald Trump,’ Slams NBC For Cutting Ties
“When it comes to Donald Trump, I like Donald Trump. I think he’s terrific. I think he’s brash. I think he speaks the truth,” Cruz said.
Cruz said NBC “is engaging in political correctness that is silly and that is wrong.”
“I don’t think you should apologize for speaking out against the problem that is illegal immigration. I recognize that the PC world of the mainstream media, they don’t want to admit it, but the American people are fed up,” he said. “Donald Trump is exactly right to highlight the need” to crack down on illegal immigration.

Donald Trump Sues Univision For $500 Million
"Under the contract, Univision is required to broadcast the pageant live on television in Spanish. While Univision claims its decision came solely in response to comments by Mr. Trump during a June 16 campaign speech announcing his candidacy for President of the United States, the decision was, in reality, a politically motivated attempt to suppress Mr. Trump's freedom of speech under the First Amendment as he begins to campaign for the nation's presidency."

Trump turning up the heat.
Trump defends inflammatory comments, asks 'Who is doing the raping?'
"Well if you look at the statistics of people coming, you look at the statistics on rape, on crime, on everything coming in illegally into this country it's mind-boggling!" he told Lemon, in a clip previewed on CNN's "Situation Room."
"If you go to Fusion, you will see a story: About 80% of the women coming in (being raped), you know who owns Fusion? Univision!
Go to Fusion and pick up the stories on rape. It's unbelievable when you look at what's going on. So all I'm doing is telling the truth," Trump said.
Lemon replied that the press stories are about women being raped, but not about criminals coming across the border.
"Well, somebody's doing the raping, Don! I mean somebody's doing it! Who's doing the raping? Who's doing the raping?" he asked.
Trump sits at No. 2 among GOP presidential candidates in the latest CNN/ORC national poll. He told Lemon he is surprised only that he's trailing Jeb Bush, not that he's doing so well.
"I don't get it. He's in favor of Common Core, extremely weak on immigration. He thinks people come over for love. I don't understand why he's in first place," Trump said. "Maybe it's the Bush name. Last thing we need is another Bush. But I will tell you, I'm a little surprised he's in the position he's in."

Bernie Sanders sends a chilling message to Hillary campaign

Senator Bernie Sanders is drawing the same kind of enthusiasm that Eugene McCarthy sparked in 1968
It is clear that the progressive base of the Democratic Party is fed up with Hillary Clinton, the cozy-with-Wall-Street party insider who parlayed political connections into a nine-figure fortune after leaving the White House “dead broke.”

Right. Remind me of this when she runs away with the Democratic nomination.Quote:
