Ted Cruz's Own Hometown is Embarrassed of Him

[cobber]

You forgot Dred Scott

Yeah, the Constitution can be a convenient thing when you want to justify tyranny.

There's a difference between standing for a belief and then holding the entire government hostage when the majority of people think you're wrong. There comes a time and a place to realize that you've lost...Teddy's time came at attempt number 30 to repeal Obamacare. Seriously anything after attempt number 30 means you're delusional in thinking you can win. It's just a waste of taxpayer time and money and that's all this shutdown was. Obamacare isn't going to be delayed, stopped, or neutered. At best you might get something for the debt ceiling, but I doubt it.

He's just hurting people who can't work...people who WANT to work. Who will make their rent/house payments, car payments, pay their grocery bills, credit card bills, etc? What about those who are currently working and not getting paid? They don't even get the "benefit" of sitting at home worrying about how to make ends meet. What about the taxpayers who have to foot this $300 million/day bill to shutdown the government?

Again, I understand about standing up for a belief -- I do it here all of the time. But I'm not causing people to lose jobs and costing millions in taxpayer money. At what point does it go from standing up for belief to refusing to realize that you've lost?

so what dept. of the gov. do you work for?

I'm sorry, didn't you just say I shouldn't be allowed to have an AR-15? Last I checked I met all of the legal requirements to have one, so if you're such a Constitutionalism, why are you telling me I can't own one? Does my freedom of speech bother you so?

Didn't you just lecture someone about "your" v. "you're"? Stating that you don't argue with buffoons who make such errors?

It does. You could also just not reply...just as I didn't reply to giovani...I tend not to put much stock in what people who can't use the proper form of your/you're say, particularly when they're trying to insult me.

None. Which Al Qaeda cell do you work for?

You guys realize this is the internet, right? Sorry to burst your bubbles, nobody is going to change their mind no matter how much you insult or antagonize them.

 

[The Stig]

If you're hurt by my comments you need thicker skin, I guess. It's okay...I won't hurt your delicate sensibilities any further. I wouldn't want to bruise your ego.

No, sir.

Just meant your personality and state of mind... not the results of your actions.

Again, you assume.

We can do this all day, all night... hide behind computers and play games.

Make silly wagers... assume people are this or that.

Whatever you like.

This thread has pretty much disintegrated into nothing since the first post.

My homework is done for the evening. Laundry is on spin cycle. Will have to get up momentarily and shift the wet clothes over to the dryer. Might give the dog a treat. Maybe check on the wife - I think she is watching HGTV or something equally exciting.

But I can come back if you want to play so more. Other than that nothing else for me to do.

Minitruth, perhaps?

Yes.

I'm embarrassed to say that it took me longer to read what you were pointing to than it should have. I shall leave it for I deserve the public shaming.

I absolutely did not. I said you should not get one. You never asked why.

I like Cruz a lot. The media will be the media. And as far as Ted Cruz's home town is concerned, I heard the folks in Calgary are darn proud of him.

When you know it all, why would you need to ask?

I don't really care what you do or are you asking for my permission? Does this make you my slave? You shall shovel my driveway this winter and you keep it snow free by hourly checks. Prepare yourself, minion, the snow will be thick and my patience thin.

Really? I have had my thoughts and passions challenged here and have reevaluated and changed my mind upon further reflection at least twice here because folks disagreed with me.

 

[Streak]

Well seeing as how I never asked for opinions on the AR-15 and thus yours was unwelcome you're either insinuating that I can't have one (most believable in the context of the discussion being had) or you're giving an unsolicited opinion about an AR-15 in a forum whose chosen topic would make said opinion completely inappropriate. While I may have been wrong, the reasoning behind my thinking remains valid. So do you normally go off topic in discussions, then?

Holy cow, Mark.

What are you doing re-introducing rational thought into this train wreck?

Really? I was all ready to vote Obummer in for a 3rd [STRIKE]turd[/STRIKE]... I mean term.

I thought global warming (or whatever it is called now) would keep the snow away this year...?

 

[Bunnykid68]

When you know it all, why would you need to ask?

There is a reason I do not ask questions
