They purchased semi-automatic rifles Mr. President. What are you going to do, confiscate hundreds of millions of our rifles??? Or maybe a repeat of the 1990s ban on any semi-automatic rifles that LOOK REAL SCARY.

Carson being an rear end in a top hat

quote:

“You know, we have too many important things to do,” Carson said at a “Veterans and Military Town Hall” hosted by the Concerned Veterans for America. “When our men and women are out there fighting the enemy, the last thing that we need to be doing is saying what would it be like if we introduced several transgender people into this platoon.” “You know, give me a break. Deal with the transgender thing somewhere else,” Carson said before saying he prefers the old “don’t ask, don’t tell” military philosophy that ended in 2011. “I mean, why do you have to go around flouting your sexuality? It’s not necessary, you don’t need to talk about that, we need to talk about how we eliminate the enemy,” Carson said at the town hall.

But it's all rhetoric, interpretation, and getting guys into office, which is how things go. Imagine having to rewrite the Constitution during the height of the Tea Party, there would be fifteen different balanced budget amendments and probably one retroactively undoing Obama's Presidency :psyduck:

quote:

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is predicting that Donald Trump will soon fade from the top of GOP presidential polls as voters look for "somebody who has the experience."

In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," Kasich, a Republican presidential candidate, said he isn't buying polls that show Trump in the lead -- including a new CNN/ORC poll that puts the real estate mogul's support at 36%, more than double any other contender, among Republicans.

"I don't necessarily believe what I see because it's not a poll of likely voters," Kasich said, adding that he's not convinced many of those who say they support Trump will ultimately vote for him.
Kasich is following Jeb!'s mantra of "Trump will fall any day now, just you wait".

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s remarks from the Oval Office tonight:

“On December 7, 1941, in response to Pearl Harbor, FDR did not give a partisan speech, rather he called on Americans to unite and ‘win through to absolute victory’.

“If I am elected President, I will direct the Department of Defense to destroy ISIS. And I will shut down the broken immigration system that is letting jihadists into our country.

“Nothing President Obama said tonight will assist in either case.”

I've been trying not to pick on Jeb cause it's such low hanging fruit, but this is the 2nd time I've seen that his campaign is trying to spin as a good thing, the fact that he is competing with SIX other candidates for 2nd place in New Hampshire. best case scenario he still loses to Donald Trump in Iowa, SC and Nevada.

The only thing sadder are the marks that keep writing him checks.

I swear this guy in this article about Jeb's plans leading up to the New Hampshire primary is deliberately trying to bother you:

quote:

“It is very fluid in New Hampshire right now, but there just doesn’t seem to be any excitement for Jeb," said Drew Cline, a former longtime editorial page editor at the Union Leader who now runs a consulting business. "I wouldn’t completely rule Jeb Bush out, but I think it’s becoming clear that if he’s going to do well in New Hampshire, he has to dramatically change things, and I don’t see any indication that that’s happening."

Maybe the donors feeding ¡Jeb! know that his victory is a longshot, it’s just that they also believe that he’s infinitely more corruptible than his competition.

Not that they’re right about that.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

My understanding is that most non-Cuban Hispanic groups hold some resentment against Cubans, as a Cuban who set foot on Florida sand was hailed as a heroic escapee of tyranny, while a Mexican fleeing the cartels or similar was cursed as a criminal.

Is that actually true in practice?
