A long time ago.  But I am curious.  Since you won't back up what you claim, I'm doing your work for you.  I'll let you know when I find the last time I called @Right_in_Virginia a "liar".  Just to put this red herring to rest and show what an unprincipled hypocrite you are.

And I was asked.  I wasn't "told" anything.  Embellish much?

ROFL!  Such a p*ssy.  Being asked by the house admin/owner is warning you to stop...and you know it.

Now go get a bandaid and get out of my face.

Here's another one for you, @DCPatriot :


???  You can say she's sorely mistaken...blind to the truth, etc..

But calling her a "LIAR", imo, is a bridge too far. 

That's all...   :shrug:

Again, can you identify one of these "exaggerations and falsehoods spewed by DeSantis and his campaign" for us?  Or is this simply another instance of you blindly saluting one of RiV's posts without taking a moment to consider what is actually being said?  Why not defend the words of RiV?  If her words aren't a lie, then shut us all up by proving it.

And for the record, I didn't call her a 'liar'.  In accordance with Management's wishes, I have avoided making those claims directly.  In the past I have slipped from time to time, but I still make the effort to comply.  My only previous reference in this thread to the term 'liar' was asking you if you thought RiV was a liar based on her propensity to not only post claims that were untrue but to stand by those claims even after being proven untrue.  I never got a response from you to that question.

This is you again falsely accusing me of calling RiV a "liar".  And I still haven't gotten a response.  You have a habit of blurting out the first thing that pops up in your head without thinking it through.  You also have a habit of making claims that you never back up.  Claims that are untrue.  There is a word for people who do that.

OK, I admit, I did accuse her of lying here.  But I didn't call her a liar.

Before I post a claim, I will verify its veracity. It isn’t foolproof. But having credibility is important to me especially in these days of misinformation

But when a claim is proven to be untrue, but the individual making the claim still sticks to the false narrative, then it’s safe to say that person is knowingly promoting a lie

Here's one from August of last year where I did call @Right_in_Virginia a "liar" albeit indirectly.  I humbly confess.  In my defense though, I proved it.

I have had to retract in the past so I’ve gotten better at verification before posting. But will retract in light of new information

You know what?  I'm done with this, @DCPatriot .  I've gone through a full 10% of my posting history to find the evidence that you are unwilling to find yourself.  Phooey.  I have tried to be nice, and will continue to make that effort.  But I'm done.  If you can't back up what you post, then it is likely that what you are posting isn't true.  But don't blame others when you get called on it.  Nobody gives a damn about your emotional tantrums.

Cruz is still a conservative and yes I'll vote for him again and likely give him some campaign money.  Is he a eunich as another has said....yup he is.

How do you see him as a conservative??  The only conservative in the race is DeSantis, where was his support for him?

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.

...hmmm....and the topic is:  Ted Cruz endorses Donald Trump for president .....

I find this endorsement from Cruz disheartening and him backing the GOPe rather than a conservative.  Again, where was his support for DeSantis, a true conservative?

Instead of attacking other members for their beliefs, why don't you defend his policies and his record. Explain how the following will "turn this Titanic around"

Let's discuss the inflationary policies he left when he left office and why you support them and why his inflationary policies are better than Biden's?

 Do you support his tariffs  despite the resulting trade wars and the threat they brought to the US economy even before covid?

Giving Fauci a medal. Do you agree?

The massive debt and deficits. No problem as long as it's Donald?

Siding with Democrats over republicans over COVID spending?

Appointing the likes of Christopher Wray and Mark Milley(sp). You happy with them?

His inability to either appoint good people to his cabinet, or his inability to work with them. I mean is either everyone he appointed in his first term incompetent, or is the problem Trump himself?

Do you agree with his farm bailouts and his bailouts to the oil companies that were negatively impacted by his policies?

Do you agree with his support for people like Ronna McDaniel?

Do you believe we should be lowering interest rates and why, especially at a time of high inflation? Do you support zero or negative interest rates

Do you agree with his proposals like Freedom cities and baby bonus? Were do you believe the money will come from?

Do you  hope the economy crashes in the next 12 months, as Trump does, despite the harm it would cause people?


And there's more. but it's a start. Perhaps it's YOU that owes us the apology


Never did get an answer on how all this would turn this Titanic around :shrug:

AND which of the above does Ted Cruz agree or disagree with? Were out of that list does Cruz believe Trump should get his endorsement?
