    It's official. The debates have become childish. Last night I was watching the debate and said to my wife, "What is on his lip?" Cruz's lip. I thought it was a tooth that fell out. My wife said it might be a candy. Apparently it was a booger. Cruz is now eating his boogers. I can't take it anymore. ;)

    I've seen both of Dinesh D'Souza's documentaries in movie theaters. America:Imagine the World Withourt Her and 2016:Obama's America.

    I really have decided that Election 2016 does not matter 'cause "The Die Has Been Cast" and the divine play called The Storm is being directed by The Almighty ... and upon us!
    Nevertheless! I will go to the polling booth this November and Vote! If I cannot stomach any Presidential Candidates I will, at least, vote for other National, State and Local officials as that is my Civic Duty ... I would suggest that all US Folks here do likewise. One of the reasons that godless principalities/policies now rule the USA/EU is the fact that People of Faith stayed home or, equally as bad, did not take into account their Faith when voting. Experts claim that 4-5 million conservative voters "stayed-home" Election 2012 'cause they didn't like Romney .. his campaign, religion or ...? How'd that work out?.... Eh!!!???

    GOD GUIDE & SAVE ALL HERE!!

    You know...that makes sense, but I'm not going to have a "prophet" prevent me from living. We live in shaky times, but still, I said to God a few months ago, "I'm moving." I'm going to live life and move forward. For me/us this was a step of faith. You really don't want to know what I think of those that play on the fears of others. I'll just leave it at that. This is where I stand on the election/prophecy/U.S.

    Hey CD- that was my exact thought as well- I will vote, but at this point very unlikely to select a POTUS candidate. Since I live in the (People's Democratic Republic) of NY :) , my POTUS vote has never counted in my entire adult life. For those who don't live in US or are aware of our Electoral College system, each state gets "electors" based upon population of state. It's a winner take all. So in liberal states like NY, the Dem candidate always win so my vote really doesn't matter. So much for no taxation without representation! So the POTUS election essentially comes down to 7-10 states where there is a contest. In fact, when you look at it even closer, it goes down to about 100 counties within these states that essentially elect the next POTUS. It's kind of nutty, but that's the reality. So for me, the only "action" I really can take is to pray for folks in places like Ohio, NC, FL, PA, and the 5 or 6 other states where the vote actually counts.

    Proof that the Republican Establishment does not care a wit about abortion and true conservatism:



    "Not in memory has the leadership of a party been so out of touch. The Republican rank and file are in revolt, not only against the failures of their fathers but the policies of their present rulers.

    Some among the GOP elites, who have waited patiently through the Obama era to recapture control of U.S. foreign policy, are now beside themselves with despair over Trump’s success.

    Fully 116 members of the GOP’s national security community, many of them veterans of Bush administrations, have signed an open letter threatening that, if Trump is nominated, they will all desert, and some will defect – to Hillary Clinton!

    “Hillary is the lesser evil, by a large margin,” says Eliot Cohen of the Bush II State Department. According to Politico’s Michael Crowley, Cohen helped line up neocons to sign the “Dump-Trump” manifesto.

    Another signer, Robert Kagan, wailed in the Washington Post, “The only choice will be to vote for Hillary Clinton.”


    Are they serious?

    Victory for Clinton would mean her remaking the Supreme Court, killing all chances that Roe v. Wade could be overturned, or that we could get another justice like Antonin Scalia before 2021.

    What are these renegades and turncoats so anguished about?

    Trump calls the Iraq War many of them championed an historic blunder. Trump says that, while a supporter of Israel, he would be a “neutral” honest broker between Israel and the Palestinians in peace negotiations, as was Jimmy Carter at Camp David.

    Trump says he would “get along very well” with Vladimir Putin, as Richard Nixon got along with Leonid Brezhnev and Mao Zedong.

    Trump would launch no new crusades for democracy. He would not oppose Russia bombing ISIS. He would build that wall on the border. He would transfer from U.S. taxpayers to rich allies more of the cost of defending themselves.

    Do not most Americans agree with much of this?

    Yet this neocon ultimatum about deserting should the voters nominate Trump testifies eloquently to their loyalty.

    With every ex-president and ex-nominee repudiating Trump, and foreign policy elites going rogue, the GOP hierarchy is saying: We will cut Trump dead, just as the Rockefeller-Romney crowd cut Barry Goldwater dead.

    This is pure my-way-or-the-highway politics.... http://www.wnd.com/2016/03/the-oligarchs-super-pac-anti-trump-savagery/

    I'm not an American and don't have particularly strong views about Democrats or Republicans but I have started to be curious about what might happen with Trump. The comments made by Newt Gingrich about Trump have been mentioned earlier in the thread. Here is the video clip with him speaking those comments:

    Yes, Miker, it's them darn swing states that determine the election. Here's the story from 2012:

    http://www.politico.com/2012-election/swing-state/

    If you look at New York State's totals you'll see the futility of us conservatives in upstate NY. Sorry, Miker, but it's the City that does us in!

    Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!

    Now that is just plain scary. Of course, we do know that the Freemasons have been very active in our nation's politics right from the beginning. Not every President has been a Freemason, but many have been. I personally believe that JFK and Bobby were murdered as a result of a Freemason conspiracy. I also know that Mormonism and Freemasonry are very closely connected.

    it is hard to believe that with the size of new york state, that the city still rules. my vote does not count here in liberal MA as well. the whole electorate system needs to be re-worked. it was put in place at the very beginning, when people had horses and could not all get to the polls. I believe anyway. I forget the logic behind it, but it is from way back when.

    Ever see EWTN The journey home with Mormon Bishops conversion story? Almost unheard of a Mormon Bishop converting, but like so many others, looked back into History to prove they had the truth and found our Catholic Church instead...original show aired in 2007//// From the former Bishops comments ,they receive money from all missionary activity. Mittens Romney was a Mormon Bishop, so hes taken from little folks his whole life....graduated to Baine Capital, which closed American companys and send the jobs to China... Mitt go away!

    Anyone find any humor in Mittens Romney making ROBO calls for Rubio in Florida ... BWAHHH

    CNN reporting Cruz Iowa tactics against Dr Ben Carson are beinf employed against Rubio in Florida and fake calls against Trump in Hawaii...Ted Cruz is a loone...did he disavow Glenn Beck after his threat to stab Trump? NOPE

    Ted's dirty tactics are getting worse and worse. I wouldn't be surprised if Little Marco ends up endorsing Trump just to spite Cruz.

    The last few days ive listened to the Laura Ingraham show. Today she made a note how New York is in play for Trump and no one else( remember Cruz blasted New Yorkers as all liberals) but Trump has appeal in NY City and will campaign in NY. Laura noted how NO repub candidate has campaigned in Harlem since Ronnie....majior Black and Spanish vote... Trump will be there for sure

    A majior, original Cival Rights leader w/ Martin Luther King ( sorry I forget his name )
    endorces Trump. Was on Drudge yesterday and on MSNBC last night w/Chris Jenkins live interview. He believes Trump will bring jobs to Miss!

    adding many more cars to the Trump Train!!! All Aboard

    another note...most Majior Unions have NOT endorced a Dem candidate....hmmm ...waiting for Trump?
