A lot of people backed Hitler, too. A lot of people still back Lenin. That doesn't make them either right, or smart. I've mentioned that several times recently with reference to Ronald Reagan... you're right... Of course. Reagan's booming economy, full employment, and national pride are an anathema to the Democrats and their serfs. I don't know how we will ever recover from those, but The Puppet is doing his best to repeal all of the above.

He wasn't impeached because he was doing what The Puppet and his Merry Marxists were telling him to do, so the Marxists, who controlled Congress then, weren't about to impeach the only one that could stop their own criminal trials. I didn't comment on "impeaching" him... I commented on your false claim that he charged with criminal contempt... he is, and was, not... Yes, he was.

Yes, he was asked "are you a Communist", and when he said yes, he was in like Flint. Another ridiculously false claim... you're famous for 'em... It's absolutely true. Frank Marshal Davis was his mentor, his "father figure", as he himself has admitted. FMD was a virulent Communist. What you argue is that one can grow up under specific teachings all their young life, and have no effects from that teaching later in life.

Of those three, I can only agree with the "national pride"... of course the Germans felt the same way with Adolph Hitler...

Get it right, Redleg... or, can you?... "Later Thursday, the House voted on a second civil contempt resolution."

I got it from your long past history of posts and threads here, anyone that can read will probably agree with the list all or in part. And you felt it appropriate to make the thread about me, and not its subject? Why not instead defend Ted Cruz' apparent inability to plan ahead, or hire people who can? I havent decided if I want to defend Cruz or not, let me see who else decides to run, then I will defend who I want to if I want to. But in the meantime I did notice your willingness to attack him on a fairly minor point. Why dont you find an attack point that means something.

It was a comment about a minor screwup, meant mostly for humor value. My guess is that the Republicans would like to have the Oval Office back. Which means there's no chance Cruz gets the nod. He'd be thrashed by any Democrat you could name. Hell, against him there's even a chance Warren could win. Cruz and his supporters don't seem to understand how far away from mainstream America their positions really are.

The left wing media people can and will trash any and all Repub canidates as long and hard as they can, with humor sarcasm half truths and out and out lies.
Some of the mainstream distain is deserved on the social side I admit. They have never learned to stay out of peoples bedrooms and doctors offices for instance.

I would like a strong Republican party, one that embraces fiscal conservatism (but not the politically suicidal extremism of folks like Cruz, Ryan and Paul). And one that stays out of the bedrooms and doctors offices, places politicians at any level simply do not belong. We should never hear or know what religion (if any) a politician belongs to, because it should never matter: in the secular country religious rules have no place in government. Yeah, I know. The GOP is hopelessly abed with the religious extremists and that's not going to change. And it hasn't been the party of responsible fiscal conservatism since before that ass Dick Cheney decided that deficits don't matter. What a charlatan.

I wouldn't blame "deficits don't matter" on Cheney. That notion was codified under the great Reagan administration. (Laffer, Krugman and Stockman and Greenspan)

(Laffer, Krugman and Stockman and Greenspan) His using that phrase does not excuse the deficit increases brought about by Dmocrat over spending followed by increasing taxes used to fuel more over spending.

Fair enough. But..... the Reagan folk were the first to codify the policy and convince Americans that Keynesian economics was the key to a prosperous well managed society. Until the 1980's the philosophy was an open and unsettled debate. Since then it's been Katy bar the door! You can look it up. It's settled science! Only miserable, selfish and disgruntled and uneducated folk still subscribe to the government policies that as late as the 1950's "Eisenhower Minimum" was considered responsible and respectable governance.

IOW, you want Communists that don't spend as much. Ain't going to happen. You are a true master of stating things that aren't true about what other people say. To the extent that it can't stay out of folks' bedrooms, the GOP is rapidly alienating young people. If it wants to go out for being puritans, then it's on the right path.

You can't stand the fact that he took the Carter disaster and turned it into an exploding economy, full employment, and growing international respect. He did such a good job that it took Clinton 8 years of trying, and still he couldn't destroy all of it.

We no longer have any of our former allies that trust us in any way whatsoever, especially after The Puppet released Israel's nuke secrets in a 2nd grade hissy fit. All because he couldn't defeat Netanyahu, and those stubborn Israeli's just wouldn't do what he told them to do.
