The kerfuffle over Cruz's citizenship is stupid. Even with the schadenfreude it is not a good idea to beat the drum because it empowers xeonophobes. He's never had to swear an oath in a naturalization ceremony. He's as much a citizen as any "anchor baby".

The US has a lot of problems and we shouldn't indulge this kind of stupidity.

Where were all these Republicans supporting the birth of our current President who was born of an American mother in an American STATE???

Double standard much?

46127. iiibbb - 1/8/2016 10:43:06 PM

Of course it's a double standard.

All the more reasons Democrats should reject the idea of it. They're basically jumping on a line Trump is towing.

Just drop it. Let them destroy themselves.

Why is anyone listening to that idiot Ben Carson? More than half his staff have quit doing so....these are people who should know him best in the political arena...many left paying jobs to volunteer for no pay with another campaign!

Greatest president in my lifetime.

Nikki Haley gave the best presidential response from a Republican I've heard since he's been president.

46131. iiibbb - 1/13/2016 1:55:30 PM

I think he's the best president of my lifetime as well... obfuscated by the partisanship for sure.

In part because the bar's not that high (1969). But he's smart, funny, and I think one of the most moderate presidents ever.

I think is only fault has been playing some things close to the vest; but his Republican counterparts probably helped made it happen that way--- but I always felt he was smart enough to work around that.

Man.... I wish 20% of this population would just choke to death right now.

46133. judithathome - 1/13/2016 8:44:39 PM

And they would, if they had to eat their own words...and likely, not have the health care to help themselves from doing so.

46134. winstonsmith - 1/14/2016 2:40:23 AM

Yes, I also agree. Best president of my lifetime. Smart, honest, calm, pragmatic. No sex scandals. Has the nicest family. He is just the best.

I love the way whatever Michelle Obama wears 10 of them people run out and get it.

46136. arkymalarky - 1/14/2016 4:46:35 AM

I love the way whatever Michelle Obama wears to an event people run out and get.

I wonder if I'm just too old to learn to enunciate. Or to overcome my southern accent in voice to text.

46138. judithathome - 1/14/2016 7:56:07 PM

Hey...I understood it just fine...but then, I'm from the next state over....

46139. Ms. No - 1/15/2016 9:05:27 PM

I love how so much of what she wears to an event people CAN run out and buy because it's available to non-millionaires.

46140. iiibbb - 1/15/2016 10:56:08 PM

I'm so disgusted by the Republican party.

1) Trump appears to be their guy.
2) If not it's fucking Cruz.
3) There are now overtures of having a replacement for Obamacare (something I'd actually support)... why the fuck did they make us wait for 6 fucking years?


I actually have a longer list... but fuck them.

46141. Ms. No - 1/16/2016 3:35:01 AM

"why the fuck did they make us wait for 6 fucking years? "

Because they're hoping to win, and if they do, they are realizing that they can't just stomp their feet and say "No!" anymore. They'll have to actually DO something or they'll lose their seats.

Notice that they say they have a plan, but nobody's actually seen it.

That's because they don't actually HAVE one!

46143. Ms. No - 1/18/2016 7:18:18 AM

God, I love you, Judith! I could almost hear you say that. ;-)

46144. judithathome - 1/18/2016 10:28:11 PM

Well, you could...when are you coming this way for a visit?

(We have a new bottle of Tuaca!)
