And just who is Moonbat Ron Paul endorsing from the field? Establishment backed Rubio? Moderate Kasich? Facist trump?

Serious questions.

Guess my guy Kasich has as good a chance as Ron Paul.

Moonbat Ron Paul

Woah, woah, woah!  I will cut a bitch! You take that back!


EDIT:  He will probably support Gary Johnson.

Correct.

Again, Simple Simon, read up on his REAL actions during this mess. As I stated before, Jeff Miller and others in the committee sprang into action over the objections and stonewalling of that piece of shit communist Bernie Sanders.

As I've said before, do your homework...seriously.

We will when you finish seventh grade history and civics.

I really wish someone else would jump into the race. It's not like Alabama will turnout a dim delegate in the general election. It would be nice to elect an Ike-type leader/prez because I'm fed up with status quo. Maybe Trump is the man to negotiate our bankruptcy (It's coming folks). Trump is a professional in that situation.

Its hard to get past all of this when you never left academia! The real world is a helluva place.

Gary Johnson sounds like an accountant at H&R Block. I don't know anything about him but assume he's gay if Chizad is voting for him.

I'm not voting for him for my personal sex slave. I'm voting for Milo Yiannopoulos for that.

Here's a take-home assignment for you.

Posted on February 17, 2016
Dear Senator Sanders and Professor Gerald Friedman,

We are former Chairs of the Council of Economic Advisers for Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. For many years, we have worked to make the Democratic Party the party of evidence-based economic policy. When Republicans have proposed large tax cuts for the wealthy and asserted that those tax cuts would pay for themselves, for example, we have shown that the economic facts do not support these fantastical claims. We have applied the same rigor to proposals by Democrats, and worked to ensure that forecasts of the effects of proposed economic policies, from investment in infrastructure, to education and training, to health care reforms, are grounded in economic evidence.  Largely as a result of efforts like these, the Democratic party has rightfully earned a reputation for responsibly estimating the effects of economic policies.

We are concerned to see the Sanders campaign citing extreme claims by Gerald Friedman about the effect of Senator Sanders’s economic plan—claims that cannot be supported by the economic evidence. Friedman asserts that your plan will have huge beneficial impacts on growth rates, income and employment that exceed even the most grandiose predictions by Republicans about the impact of their tax cut proposals.

As much as we wish it were so, no credible economic research supports economic impacts of these magnitudes. Making such promises runs against our party’s best traditions of evidence-based policy making and undermines our reputation as the party of responsible arithmetic. These claims undermine the credibility of the progressive economic agenda and make it that much more difficult to challenge the unrealistic claims made by Republican candidates.

Sincerely,

Alan Krueger, Princeton University

Chair, Council of Economic Advisers, 2011-2013

Austan Goolsbee, University of Chicago Booth School

Chair, Council of Economic Advisers, 2010-2011

Christina Romer, University of California at Berkeley

Chair, Council of Economic Advisers, 2009-2010

Laura D’Andrea Tyson, University of California at Berkeley Haas School of Business

Chair, Council of Economic Advisers, 1993-1995

Hmmm, sounds like Hillary's party is getting a bit worried.

[Kaos]

I'm reading O'Reilly's Killing Reagan right now. 

It's so odd to read about his fight against communism in Hollywood (before he took it on world-wide) as SAG President.  What was going on then is the same thing that's going on now.  Clueless Hollywood types flocking to completely failed philosophies.  Back then it was Kennedy's nonsense.  Today it's Obama/Hillary/Bernie. 

Too bad we don't have a Reagan to stand up and drive them back like we did back then.  Carter pushed us to the brink.  Reagan turned that around.   Where is today's Reagan?  Where is the guy who says what he thinks whether or not it's the popular thing? 

It's sickening to read about the people I watched in movies and on TV who were staunch communists.  People like Eddie Albert ... oooohhhh Olivah... and Edward G. Robinson and Dalton Trumbo (currently being glorified in a piece of shit film starring Walter White which earned an undeserved Oscar nom) and Katherine He-e-e-e-epbaahn and Sinatra and so many others.  And here we are today with the socialists firmly in control of Hollywood and the media. 

Trump. Cruz. Rubio. Etc.  No Reagans among them.

[djsimp]

So Trump takes Nevada. Happy happy joy joy.

I saw a lot of noise yesterday about the fucked up caucuses in NV yesterday...but no one is discussing it today.

Apparently no IDs were being checked in some locations, multiple voting by single voters and poll watchers wearing Trump gear and "bullying" voters.

Maybe you are looking for a Rudy Giuliani type. IMO he had the "IT" factor just needed some proper grooming for a wider scope. He had bravado, charm and scared the hell out of the Dems for three or four months.

WTF?! So, is it time to just quit giving a shit? Damn, I am truly afraid for this country if Trump/Clinton/Sanders become President. It looks like we are headed that way fast.

[Snaggletiger]

How exactly do you bully someone at a polling place?

Hey buddy, you ARE voting for Trump, aren't you?

Well actually, I'm not a big fan of...

HEY....I said...you ARE voting for Trump...right?

Umm, no. I'm not.  I support Cruz.

I think you'd better vote Trump, or else.

Or else what?

Or else....or else...uh...well...I'm not really sure.  They didn't go over that part with us. What do you think would be appropriate?

Well...hey maybe you could slash my tires.  How about that?

Slash your tires!!!  Hey, great idea.  Which car is yours?

It's that keen Mustang over there with the "I Heart Boobies" tag on the front.

That's likely the extent of it, though their wearing of Trump gear was an election violation and seen as an intimidation tactic.
