Ha! How were you able to post that? Special powers?
America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign. -Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

I love Ivanka but she basically just adopted the entire Democratic platform on women's "rights" and "Republicans" applauded. What?

The only difference between the two parties now is the figurehead fuhrer

Hillary couldn't be any more big government than Trump if she tried. Is there NOTHING Trump won't stick the intrusive arm of government into?

The arm is not the only, or most fearsome appendage to worry about...

And you know his supporters will.  For that is the new conservatism of the 2016 GOP.  If that's horrifying to you, then you are a Democrat.  (and what's even worse, more Democrats believe in free trade than Republicans now)


That's the saddest part in all of this! That the American people have been dumbed down to the point that they would fall for this garbage!

Trump's ingenious plan is to speak all the way through Election Day so that Hillary never gets a chance to respond

Well that's one way to avoid a debate. :pondering:

Trump is pro abortion.  He wouldn't touch that topic.

Well, this damned thing has gone on for 80 minutes now and I have to work tomorrow.

Thanks, all of you, for a wonderful thread, maybe the best thread yet.   I have been honored that not a single post was deleted and there was no disruption.  You guys are really great.

We're going to do this again next week for the Democrat Convention, so plan on reconvening on Monday, somewhere on this forum.   Will probably only be one thread for that one.

Nite all.

The difference is just who gets the government largess.  Democrats want to give it to anyone here in the country... 

...and the 2016 version of conservatism wants the same largess, just for the white right people.

After last nite's setup and back stabbing event against Cruz, I think I have finally converted to a #nevertrump.  He will now have to EARN my vote back over the next few months.  I sincerely doubt that he'll be able to do that, since I think he's just getting started and just getting warmed up with the BS agenda of pissing off the base.

And right about now, Day 4, I am sick to death of hearing idiots laud The Don.  He proved himself unworthy last night.

I know you held sincere hopes that you could vote for Trump and this post proves that the little scheme Trump orchestrated last night to humiliate Ted Cruz did not work but just the opposite happens.
Against stupidity, the Gods themselves contend in vain.

Did anyone notice the choice of wording re: this part?
 
 
He didn't say how he would protect that right.  And he didn't say he would protect the right of Americans to keep their families safe via gun ownership.  I wonder why.

He didn't say how he would deliver on any of his extravagant promises. And there were many BIG government promises. Now they are playing "All right now" by Free- an entirely family friendly tune as his family gathers on stage.  :silly:

At least he has those tiny hands. Small consolation I guess.

I think this is one of the smallest balloon drops I've seen in a convention by far. (not that it is a big deal compared to everything else, just an observation)
