Using a common phrase without attribution is not plagiarism - We lined this out here a long time ago.  *****rollingeyes*****

Screw you, @roamer_1

We also "lined [this] out" that posting links to articles is not "lying".

LOL!  See?  You rush to 'cancel'...even if it's a tried and true Conservative such as Ted Cruz...2016's Conservative 'Moses'.

Thanks for playing, @libertybele    :beer:

If you are implying that I would vote for Trump if he selects Cruz as his running mate, the answer is a definite NO!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

That is not true. Purposefully posting falsity is always wrong. Always. And it does nothing but weaken this site. We depend upon the veracity of the news here.

Einstein’s name has also been affixed since his death to quotes from elsewhere. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results,” for instance, was traced by Einstein archivist Barbara Wolff to US writer Rita Mae Brown’s Sudden Death (1983)

The NA Basic Text came out in 1981.

LOL!  You always go to that whenever other threads are being ignored...thus the whining that "...90% of my posts get ignored" quote by several today.

In fact, this thread should be bookmarked...not locked.

Ted Cruz is the reason most of the membership exists...ask Jimbo

My point dear is that I no longer view Cruz as a conservative.  He is standing against conservatism and conservatives, so he has joined the ranks of the GOPe. 

Cruz just may be sensing that Trump will be behind bars before the voting starts and jump into the race --- hoping to pick up Trump's base. If so, bad move on his part.

Key word there is "Purposefully", buddy boy!

He even got chastised by our own "Seventh Floor" for it.  More than once...

???? Digging?  I'm done.

I've said what I've had to stay.  Cruz has taken the side of Trump. I have supported him for a long time - I supported him as he laid out his ground game to win the Senate even though McConnell made it nearly impossible.  He's lost my support. It's not like I'm one of his mega donors and I'm only one vote. So it truly doesn't matter. :shrug:

Democrats don’t want Trump to be President again..

Republicans don’t want Trump to be President again…

The World Economic Forum doesn’t want Trump to be President again…

NATO doesn’t want Trump to be President again…

The warmongering Military Industrial Complex doesn’t want Trump to be President again…

Globalists don’t want Trump to be President again…

The Mainstream Media doesn’t want Trump to be President again…

Which is EXACTLY WHY Donald J. Trump must be President again!

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

@libertybele

You missed it -- Even IF Trump were to name Cruz as his VP I still wouldn't vote for Trump should he be the GOP nominee.  I will vote down ballot or abstain.

Maybe, or Trump could have threatened to sink his political career, as he did to some the Florida congressmen before their endorsements.  The excuses fall flat ultimately, and I wouldn’t blame Heidi if she were shopping for a new husband.
