ALL:

I'm going to start the OPEN CONVENTION WEDNESDAY thread.    This thread will stay open until I can get it closed, but let's put any new stuff over on the Wednesday thread.

I have to confess, I have no idea what just happened here.  Let's just go on about our business.

Thank you, sink.

I came back this morning to find out what was going on with the convention, and came back to Trump-instigated garbage.

Thanks for staying calm everyone, while under attack.

Good job!

Look forward to seeing Wednesday's thread.

Apparently I have been blocked from posting on the other thread!

Hows that for fairness?

Trumpbots and the GOP and like a hand in a very tight fitting glove.  They don't like conservative viewpoints.

I don't think so.  Probably we should just ignore that meltdown.

Good call.

Proceed as though it never happened.........

Maybe it's because we had 300 more posts than the "LIVE" thread. Or that most of the posters are over here.

Whoopie. If the internet is an excuse to freely slander someone; that is not as great of an accomplishment as one could boast it to be. And I think a lot of those posts probably are mean-spirited not contributing to debate.

Like they were able to in 2016 ... after 8 years of Obama?  It is time to get real.  It is time to face reality.  Too few voters wanted Cruz and even less wanted Kasich and that fact won't change after 12 years of Obama.

There will be even less of a bulwark, Toomey included, against a President Clinton than there was against President Obama.  If there is any part of you that wants to stop the Obama years, 2016 is your best and last chance; and their names are Trump/Pence.

 :thumbsup:


...though I doubt he'll take your advice. He seems pretty well set. Even to the point of saying he would vote for Hillary Clinton. I won't keep company with people like that. You know the kind. People so wrongheaded, it gives you a headache.

Dear Lord,
Protect this child
from all harm
Hold her in your care
Fill her heart
with faith and love
Hear her every prayer
Teach her wisdom
Give her strength
Guide her on her way
Bless this child
And help her grow
In your loving grace!

Really? Because it did. And it's indicative of the way Trumpettes view and deal with dissent.

Let's be honest: if that mod had full control over the forum, I'm betting there would be purges happening right now, just like at TOS.

Dark days ahead folks, especially when the fool they nominated gets beaten. That's when the knives for us - the ones who saw it coming - REALLY come out.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Oh, yeah, but Cruz did not mind hob-nobbing with Trump as well. So, I guess, let's throw Cruz into these generalizations as well.

I listen to Rush Limbaugh, I've heard what Cruz has to say for 20 years before we knew who Ted Cruz is.

A good example of the kinds of posts I am speaking of.



From the tactics of some, if they are making Cruz out to be the authentic conservative, that should be taken to task seeing how the two were pallng around for months just to now be saying others aren't conservatives. But I guess the Cruz-bots don't see that conveniently.

.....  Probably we should just ignore that meltdown.

Well...I can say that on the 'other' site when they piled on my candidate, making it personal and hammering away, there's a thresh hold to tolerating that.... especially when it becomes a ganged up response and the thread is flooded with insults ....The choices are only to either leave the threads or strike back.

People don't get dressed in the morning with a shirt that reads "walk all over me".......rather they often show a great deal of tolerance....but as mentioned that has limits. ......and the response is NOT a meltdown......it's the line has been crossed and time to call it as it is because it needs the saying of, and that usually doesn't happen until all the warnings to back off have been ignored.

Several  who oppose Trump here are of the same cut as those who opposed Cruz there.....no different then the crowd at FR........and the threads are beginning to look like them....you can see the slow buildup and then it just takes off. That same "climate change" is happening here.....

IMO every Freeper who came here was an invited guest, and most were looking for some sanity in this election race, others were looking for a place to keep venting their frustrations ....Frankly doing so generally leads those to face the reality of this race and determine what they are going to do about that. ....This site certainly offered me the opportunity to air and work through the concerns I had to arrive at the conclusion I have chosen.... and for that I'm grateful.....Some will continue to take their stand otherwise, but they should not be throwing fire at those who do not agree with their.."critical thinking" when it's anything but that.

If you own property and your invited guests begin to trash that property you have every right to defend it.....and that's just the way it is and certainly understood should be so......

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Honestly, I really don't understand the [point your making with the constant reference to earlier in the campaign when Trump and Cruz appeared to be getting along.

How does that reflect on Cruz's demonstrated conservatism, as a Harvard law student, as Texas solicitor general, as senator? I don't get it.
