Yeah, 2 hits out of 8 fired at close range? And the dude was a big target even. That is definitely bad shooting.

I must confess that I care more about how a government governs its state as a whole rather than how it treats any single person. By giving 'charity' to select individuals to cover bad circumstances that they as lawmakers are largely responsible for, it allows a government to ignore the structural problems of its policies.

The problem with this is, there's a person in the middle of all of this - a person who's soon going to be two people. Don't you think helping them matters more than making a political point? More to the point, wouldn't it be better to demand "charity" for individuals while working to expand the social safety net?

nonono, merely that having a bigger plane isn't necessarily an advantage in Iowa.

More money is always an advantage in politics. If there's parity, sure, it comes down to candidate personality. When there ain't? Moneymoneymoney rules the waves.

But how is Trump going to go anywhere in Iowa outside his opulent plane? The land of corn lacks the garish gold plated marble bidets or caviar infused champagnes necessary to sustain The Donald. Why there can't even be any over sized iconographic naming for him to draw narcissistic sustenance on for hundreds of miles.

Please do not ask Ted Cruz about events prior to 1970.

quote:

Harwood: Now, a third Texas president, L.B.J., created Medicare in the mid-'60s. Your hero, Ronald Reagan, campaigned vigorously against that, saying it would lead to socialized medicine, it would end liberty in the United States. Who was right, L.B.J. or Reagan?

​​Cruz: ​You know, at the end of the day— it's not worth tilting at windmills. And we are at a different point in time than we were in the 1960s. Today, Medicare is a fundamental bulwark of our society. And there is an entire generation of s—

Harwood: ​So, the philosophical objection just goes out the window?

Cruz: ​At the— I'm— I'm a big believer at focusing on battles that matter and that are winnable. And there is a broad, universal consensus that Medicare is a fundamental bulwark of our society that's fundamentally different. Look, it's one thing to have asked 50 years ago should we have created it. It's another thing when you have a generation of seniors who paid into it 30, 40, 50 years who have been made promises. We need to honor those promises—

Harwood: Fair enough. But—

​​Cruz: ​—and— and— and—

​​Harwood: ​—do you think at the time Reagan as right?

​​Cruz: You know, I don't know. I wasn't alive then. What I do know is that today, we have got to preserve and reform Medicare.

Also, too, when Ted Cruz was born he was entitled to lifelong socialized medicine, so why should he have to take a position on Medicare?

I agree. It's rather sad that so many American's die from shootings that the President doesn't even have time to call them all. It is also sad that so many people feel pressured to stay in the closet that when a football player comes out it's big enough news to make the President's desk.

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I desperately want to see Donald Trump on a Thursday night in a Pizza Ranch in some Iowa farm town, just walking around and talking to people. I would demand that C-SPAN drop all other coverage to show every second of this event live, from the moment he walks in the door and is hit in the face with the overwhelming aroma of pizza, chicken, and ranch dressing until he hops into the back seat of whatever gaudy rental car to escape, his face frozen in a rictus of not-nearly-masked revulsion.

I need this.
