46207. Trillium - 2/15/2016 2:47:12 AM For many people, there is a credibility problem with "five million" voters from either party. At some point nothing is convincing or believable, over too many ethical violations.
Following link is a Republican voter fraud example from Texas. Would Democrats do this? Maybe you don't think so. But...

46208. arkymalarky - 2/15/2016 6:44:42 AM Who are these many people? Inquiring minds want to know. 46209. arkymalarky - 2/15/2016 6:46:40 AM I noticed they were also concerned about Hillary's emails. They seem a very nervous bunch. 46210. arkymalarky - 2/15/2016 6:53:52 AM First they came for the Religious Right, but I said nothing because I didn't like Falwell either. Then they came for the birthers, but I said nothing because anything to keep Trump out of the White House, then they came for the Freepers.... 46211. iiibbb - 2/15/2016 6:35:02 PM They also came for some of the Mormon recently... but the Mormons were armed and at least one had a death wish. 46212. judithathome - 2/16/2016 1:01:48 AM So Trump is hinting he may go Independent if the Republicans don't treat him "fairly"....hello, Ralph Nadar time! 46213.

Reid tells BYU crowd that socially responsible Dems mirror Mormon values

"Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told Brigham Young University students...'My faith and political beliefs are deeply intertwined. I am a Democrat because I am a Mormon, not in spite of it,' he told a gathering of over 4,000 at the Marriott Center.
"But Nevada's senior senator says he also hopes votes for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney are "determined by his political stands, and not his religion." 46214. Ms. No - 2/19/2016 12:00:48 AM I would LOVE for Trump to go Independent -- it would split the Radical Right and almost assure a Democratic win.
Of course, I also wish Bernie would come to his senses and start looking at being Clinton's VP.
I say have Bernie as VP to guard against the eleventy-million ridiculous attempts there would be to remove Hillary Clinton from office. There's no point in trying to impeach Clinton if the VP is equally despised by the Radicals. 46215. arkymalarky - 2/19/2016 6:30:23 AM Haha! True! I could handle all this a lot better if the Gop weren't such pathetically sore losers. They absolutely cannot accept it. 46216. Ms. No - 2/19/2016 6:00:40 PM The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting to get different results.
The problem is that they get some really loud, minority traction from being hateful and telling lies that ignorant, fearful, angry people want to hear. So, the more they pay to hear and encourage those voices and broadcast those voices, the more they believe that those voices are the vast majority of Americans clamoring out for the good old days of publicly celebrated racism, bigotry, and faith-based bullying.
With this crop of candidates, they've doubled down on the crazy. I just hope they won't manage to buy the country out from under the vast majority of moderates, but a billion-plus dollars goes a long way. 46217. judithathome - 2/19/2016 9:54:40 PM It would help a LOT if Dems bothered to vote in Congressional elections! 46218. Ms. No - 2/20/2016 5:18:08 PM True dat. 46219. robertjayb - 2/23/2016 10:37:05 PM Think Ted Cruz is a bit too much? Listen to Pop.
Here's the story, according to Rafael Cruz:
My son Ted and his family spent six months in prayer seeking God's will for this decision. But the day the final green light came on, the whole family was together. It was a Sunday. We were all at his church, First Baptist Church in Houston, including his senior staff. After the church service, we all gathered at the pastor's office. We were on our knees for two hours seeking God's will. At the end of that time, a word came through his wife, Heidi. And the word came, just saying, "Seek God's face, not God's hand." And I'll tell you, it was as if there was a cloud of the holy spirit filling that place. Some of us were weeping, and Ted just looked up and said, "Lord, here am I, use me. I surrender to you, whatever you want." And he felt that was a green light to move forward.

46220. iiibbb - 2/23/2016 11:02:13 PM Well... hopefully the Lord uses him as an example. 46221. winstonsmith - 2/24/2016 5:29:07 AM "Seek Gods Face, not Gods hand" - WTF, I feel like the poor Axis radio operators in WWII who were stymied by Native American code talkers. It's gibberish to me. 46222. Ms. No - 2/24/2016 5:38:32 PM I'm guessing, but I think it means act in a way that will please God, don't wait for God to act for you. 46223. winstonsmith - 2/24/2016 7:14:43 PM I suppose that's right. It just seems like undignified and disingenuous pandering to me and yet there must be voters that are tuned into that station and buying it.
"Lord, here am I, use me. I surrender to you, whatever you want."
It sounds like he is waiting to be mounted. 46224. judithathome - 2/24/2016 9:11:40 PM Obama vets Gov. Mark Sandoval(R) of Nevada for Supreme Court nominee.
Let the Republicans get in a snit over THAT....! And refuse to vote him in...let Hillary win the Presidency and choose Bernie Sanders to fill the vacancy!! 46225. winstonsmith - 2/25/2016 1:46:18 AM Trump should start hitting Rubio as "Bought And Paid For" by the Republican establishment. As the Republican endorsements continue to roll in for Rubio ahead of Super Tuesday, I think it would be an effective strategy for him.
Yes, I am rooting for Trump. I think he can be beaten in the general election. 46226. winstonsmith - 2/25/2016 1:47:32 AM Judith, yes, Sandoval seems like a great strategy.
