You said he was "as inexperienced as Obama."
I showed you he had much much more experience than Obama. Understand now? You made an incorrect statement regarding his experience. I showed that he had much much more government experience than Obama. Got it? -

Awe so cute! Zaac shares something ITL shared and I can't see, because IT is on my ignore list! Is that sweet of Zaac to make sure I know what others say about or to me? What would this forum do without Zaac to stir the pot, over, over and over again!? -

President Obama served 7 1/2 years in the Illinois State Senate.
He then served 3 1/2 years in the US Senate.
That is 11 years of government experience.
Ted Cruz served as staff on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court for 2 years.
He served as associate deputy attorney general in the U.S. Justice Department for 4 years.
He served 2 years as Director of Policy and Planning at the Federal Trade Commission.
He was Solicitor General of Texas for 5 1/2 years.
US Senator from Texas for 3 years.
That is 16 1/2 years of government service.
Your example of an attendance increase from 34 to 35 is 3%,
Cruz's government experience is 50% greater than President Obama's.
50% is much greater than 3%.
Understand now? -

2. Given the mutual animosity between them, if anyone should be on RD's Ignore List, it should be Zaac. -
Ted Cruz is pals with the Bush's who are pals with the Clintons.
It doesn't get more insider than that. Unless you look at his wife's resume which makes her a friend of the Bush's and an insider as well.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result.
25 years of the samo samo is enough. -

First, I’d like to dispense with a voting myth. It recently came up, again, at a barbeque. The conversation momentarily devolved to politics and the hostess said, “The only reason I vote is so I’ll have a right to complain.”
That’s the conventional wisdom, right? We’ve heard it for years. But it’s baloney.
In a nice way, I said to her, “I feel as though those who don’t vote have more right to complain than those who do.”
That got her attention as well as that of a few others.
“After all,” I said, “of people who vote, I’d estimate 98% of them vote for Democrats or Republicans, and it’s the Democrats and Republicans who have been creating the problems that have been stacking up for the last 80 years. I don’t see how you have a right to complain about the problems, if you keep voting for the people who create the problems. Just saying.”
No one said anything, so I added, “Congress currently has a dismal 10% approval rating but an 80% reelection rating. What does that tell you? We elect people to Congress, they create problems, we complain about the problems, then we reelect them. Are we expecting change? People who don’t vote at all have more right to complain about the problems than the people who vote for them again and again.”

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Pat Buchanan declared that Trump’s rise represents a rejection of 25 years of Bush Republicanism— an ideology which Buchanan says has destroyed America’s once-great manufacturing core, flooded the country with low-skilled workers, and drained the treasury with ill-advised foreign adventures in the Middle East.

It's a fair question. Can folks of Hispanic descent be trusted to be tough on the border?

While Cruz and Rubio are "Hispanic", their parentage is Cuban not Mexican or Hispanic but not Chicano. And yes, Elizabeth, there is a vast difference.

You understand why the Japanese were interned during WWII and not the Europeans.
-
Squire Robertsson AdministratorAdministrator
Actually, some German and Italian residents were interned. But they were first generation and IIRC not citizens. The beef with the Japanese internments was all mainland (but not Hawaiian) Japanese residents were interned. If it was just the non-citizens, there wouldn't be as big a kerfluffel.
