Who's he running against? Obama?Originally posted by Surfah View Post"I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Of all the issues Obama has had in the past month, the IRS targeting is the one that scares me the most and is likely the reason I'll think twice before voting for a democrat outside of local races.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostThe IRS."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Who will take on the Muslim Brotherhood now?Originally posted by Surfah View PostBachmann has bowed out and will not seek reelection. Not terribly surprising especially considering an investigation of her campaign spending.

I hope the end of the Obama Presidency will be good for the Republican Party. I hope Chris Christie wins the Republican Nomination. It would help to rid the Republican Party of its Obama hatred. I think Obama is a poor President but he is and will always be popular enough, individually, that the Republican hatred will be an albatross. Christie's friendly working with Obama over Sandy and his friendliness towards the man ought to help/force enough Republicans to bury this hatred.Originally posted by pellegrino View Postisn't every Republican?Do Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

I didn't say I wouldn't vote for them, just that I'd think twice about it. It's telling that they aren't really outraged over the incident. At least Obama seemed a little bit perturbed.Originally posted by frank ryan View PostSmart, because only Democrats do shady shit like that.
Yeah, but not like thatOriginally posted by pellegrino View Postwhat are you, like an accountant or something?

TEA Party activists aren't happy with John Cornyn.....the senator from Texas not named Ted Cruz. I guess they are all upset that Cornyn didn't back up Cruz when he did his dog and pony show a couple months ago around Obamacare. So how much do they not like Cornyn? Enough to start to throw their support behind a guy named Steve Stockman.
I wanted to see what this TEA Party candidate has to offer. Here's the Wikipedia synopsis of his life before he ran for political office:
Stockman was born in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan; outside Detroit. He graduated from Dondero High School in Royal Oak, Michigan. From 1985 to 1986, he attended San Jacinto College. In 1990, he earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston–Clear Lake.He was homeless for a time.[5]. He is a born-again Christian.


Thankfully Texans aren't that dumb...http://www.politico.com/story/2013/1...ll-101149.html"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

Here's the press release from the runner-runner up of last night's GOP primary for Texas Senate: https://www.facebook.com/TexansForSt...20642218053640
Looks like the homeless guy came in second place ahead of Stovall"Last night, Sen. John Cornyn won about 60% of the Republican vote. That's certainly a majority, but there obviously remains a large contingent of Republicans who do not agree with the tactics he employs in the Senate. Speaking for myself personally, and probably reflective of a good percentage of those who did not vote for him, I prefer the tactics of Sen. Ted Cruz. Sen. Cornyn's choice of tactics only lead to more debt and the funding of Obamacare, which are not good for Texas."
"Sen. Ted Cruz uses every procedural tactic available to him to fight for the best interests of Texas, and I appreciate and endorse that. I'm no longer running for senator, but I am a citizen. I still have grave concerns about the future of Texas under the tactics used by Sen. Cornyn. I cannot give an endorsement of more debt and the funding of Obamacare. That is not good for our families, nor is it a way to keep Texas red."
"Therefore, I withhold my endorsement for now. Sen. Cornyn has spent twelve years in the Senate. When he wants to move something forward, he knows how and he can. He's the number two Republican Senator in that esteemed legislative body, so I know that he is quite influential."
