I dont care if he molests every white house visitor over the age of 18 willing to walk past the sign warning it will happen...

what leads you to believe any Republican (much less this cadre of dipshits)can "fix" the economy

the current economy is certainly much better than it was the last time we had a Republican in the White House

Maybe by "fix" you're referring to what is going on in Kansas right now

nothing to do with "feeling"

do you really want to have this discussion or are you just trolling

keep in mind this thread is about Cruz's creepy tactic to build a database (just my speculation on his motivation but given that he was announcing his run for POTUS I think it's a safe bet)

You really think this is a good economy

everything is relative
compared to what we had 6 years ago or even 4 years ago it's definitely much better
look at the basic markers - gains in employment, real estate values stabilized in most areas and hitting new highs in many areas, value of the dollar (great comparison of the relative strength of our economy to the rest of the world), just to name a few. 

Can you still find things to complain about?  Most definitely.

Are things much better than the shitstorm handed off to him by a Republican POTUS ?  MOST DEFINITELY

he almost single-handedly shut down the govt in order to curb obama's reckless spending, remember?

He would have done it again, if Boehnner/Reid/Obama didn't undercut him on the trillion dollar budget. 

He's VERY capable of slashing the PORK that both the RINOs and Dems have delivered.

He shut down the government because he was having a temper tantrum over Obama care

Then he pretended that he wasn't responsible for shutting it down

Remember?

Here's someone from his own party talking about Cruz

Quote
“We need intelligent debate in the country. Ted Cruz may be an intelligent person, but he doesn’t carry out an intelligent debate,” King said. “He oversimplifies, he exaggerates and he basically led the Republican Party over the cliff in the fall of 2013. He has shown no qualifications, no legislation being passed, doesn’t provide leadership and he has no real experience. So, to me, he is just a guy with a big mouth and no results.”

But would King support Cruz if he ended up becoming the Republican Party nominee for 2016?

“I hope that day never comes,” King told Blitzer. “I will jump off that bridge when we come to it.”



http://www.mediaite.com/tv/rep-peter-king-threatens-to-jump-off-a-bridge-if-cruz-gets-gop-nomination/

again ....Dems would LOVE IT if Cruz were the nominee but you can bet your ass Repubs aren't going to let that happen

as long as the candidate says he is legal that's good enough for you?

Hannity said obama birth certificate was a legit issue to be addressed, altho he never went full birther for lack of testes.

Hannity said anyone that accuses Cruz of bither issues is just being racist - see video here in his own words.

I DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!!!   The prez, I don't care who it is, wants to be the leader of USA and the free world.  And people get butthurt because some want his birth documents - constitutionally required for the job - to warrant a full examinatoin?

Fuckin ridiculous!!   ABSOLUTELY we should be looking at papers, brain scans, medical history, drug history - anyone acting offended because some want to fully vet a candidate for legal papers to run is consitutinoally ignorant at best, and a fcking communist at worst lol.    YES we should vet every candidate, YES we should challenge obama and Cruz alike.   Sure, Cruz looks to be 1000% legit, he had 2 canadian parents, but by golly, look into it, for sure.   Trump, however, delivered it because he's a lib and anyone tha tlikes trump is a closet case lib, HTH.

the mediamatters link was only to give you VIDEO OF HANNITY.

He is showing a double standard here.  it's okay to want to see 100% proof cruz is eligible without being branded a fuking racist.  Hannity is PLAYING THE RACE CARD, just like liberals did when defending obama's bullshit birth certificate for 6 years.

"If you want to look closely at his birth certificate, you're a racist" is what libs said for 6 years.
NOW HANNITY IS SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING.

And we all know the libs that hate Cruz don't hate him because of his skin color, it is because of his beliefs.

My blood boiled when I heard Hannity saying it's all about race - because when HE was saying obama's bith cert is a legit issue, he continually assured us it was NOT about race.

we SHOULD be looking at every single detail of anyone wanting the POTUS job.  Obama and Cruz birth cert alike.  Cruz is pretty clear - both parents were american citizens, his documents aren't in question.  Only simps/libs like Trump want to just blindly cast douobt on it.  Obama was completely different - a lifetime of bragging of his kenyan roots, then quckly erasing a paper trail lol.  But yes, from birth cert to brain scans to drug history - if you want to control the nuclear football, you doggone sure better pass inspection.  Mccain's medical history was a joke.  Obama's birth cert was a joke.  You need to take a piss test to work at mcD, but not to be president lol.  WTF

We should 100% look at his birth cert.  He's been pretty open with it, but YES it should be open to examination, just as obama's was.

This isn't the job of fucking paperboy, this is leader of the free world.  Drug tests, ID check, brain scan, STDs, these should ALL weigh into it.  If a prez has a stellar back injury and is living off painkillers, (JFK), then YES the nation should know about it.

Fuck that.  Being a leader doesn't mean you should be entitled to every aspect of his personal life.

It's none of your fucking business about his medical history.

And if he/she kicks the bucket, we gotta plan for that.

I don't understand this one bit.

The person we choose as POTUS can lock us in camps, can start nuclear wars, can spend our retirement $ or can tax us into oblivion.

Suppose the person running is living on vicodin for a back issue, suffers from schizophrenia, has a brain tumor the size of a kiwi, suffers from syphillis, and oh yeah, may have done some deviant shit involving Nazi flags and puppies, but hey, he was only 17 so it's sealed.

You don't think that info would be pertinent?  Maybe useful to those essentially turning over their LIVES to this leader? 

I don't get it - IF voters knew obama's birth certificate was shady, maybe they don't choose him.  If voters knew JFK lived on painkillers, maybe they chose a more stable and competent leader that didn't run headfirst at Russia when he wasn't banging whores.

And yeah, maybe if you're doing whores left and right, the public should know that too - It makes a prez very vulnerable to blackmail.  Suppose monica lewinsky had said she'd forget about that blue dress in exchange for classified info... maybe bubba caves to avoid inpeachment?

As a supporter of the legalization of drugs, I've got no problem with people who are in pain taking vicodin or anything else to get rid of that pain.  I think it's disgusting that people should have to suffer in pain because a small handful may become addicted.

Anyway, it's still none of your business.

The POTUS can't do all that and the birther movement really makes the Repubs look like shit.

You can make any argument you want about how one persons actions affect another.  Hell, they try to ban soda size based on that reasoning.  But I think a line has to be drawn and the POTUS' personal medical history is nobody's business.

If he commits crimes, we get him.  If he dies we replace him.

It's my own personal theory that we can't get a quality candidate because of the anal exam the press gives them going way too far.  Hell, it was in the news this week that Obama missed a step coming off his plane.

Let me repeat that...IT WAS A FUCKING NEWS STORY THAT OBAMA MISSED A STEP COMING OFF HIS PLANE.

Being focused on stupid, trivial, bullshit keeps decent candidates away from the Presidency, IMO.

I agree that the media blow shit out of proportion.

But suppose a candidate spent 5 years in a mental institution, and just told us he was studying abroad at that time.

Woudn't americans have a right to know? 

Bottom line is that medical history DOES affect a president's ability to lead.   It does make them vulnerable, and leader of the nation is the LAST person you want with a laundry list of defects.

Really, I can't believe anyone feels otehrwise.  "I'm okay with a president having a history of mental illness and syphillis, as long as he feels he's ready to lead".  ???

But suppose a candidate spent 5 years in a mental institution, and just told us he was studying abroad at that time.

Woudn't americans have a right to know? 

Bottom line is that medical history DOES affect a president's ability to lead.   It does make them vulnerable, and leader of the nation is the LAST person you want with a laundry list of defects.

Really, I can't believe anyone feels otehrwise.  "I'm okay with a president having a history of mental illness and syphillis, as long as he feels he's ready to lead".  ???



No, you don't even have the expertise to judge whether or not somebody who spent time getting treatment for a mental disorder is healed or not.

And unless the prez gave you syphilis in one of the many a$$-poundings you've taken, he has no obligation to tell you or anybody else about it.

The president has life/death control over us.  The prez can delete our retirement or take our land or whatever else.

The fact you don't care if they have a debilitating mental condition, or hooked on stacks of painkillers just to function, battling a painful debilitating illnes... or shit man, even if they're cancer riddled and just hiding it so they can get into office and get better treatment.

Paul Tsongas lied to americans, saying he was cancer-free when he knew he wasn't.   He would have died in office.
Even airline pilots need physicals every 6 months, because 200+ lives are in their hands.  But if you have 300 million lives in your hands, a 2-paragraph note from your doc saying "everything is cool" is all that is needed?  lol

Now think about what you just posted.  Think hard.

Lincoln - one of the greatest presidents to have ever lived - may never have seen Office because some trailer dweller thought he could make an informed decision based on his medical history.

This does nothing more than strengthen my opinion that it's none of your business.
