"Far Right" can't win for GOP? ...BS!

[Mac1958]

I suspect that's what it would take to end this insanity. 100% pure Tea Party ticket, no fluff, no excuses.

A small percentage of that party has 90% of the energy and influence.

.

I must admit, however, that a Bernie Sanders/Ted Cruz debate would be amazing. Wonder how they'd match up if those were the two candidates.

Yes, it would.

Personally, the one ticket that would interest me most would be Webb/Warren, so I suspect I'm stuck voting third party again. A Webb/Warren vs. Kasich/Rubio or Paul series of debates would probably be the most stimulating.

.

Well, you might get Webb. I can see Hillary going with him as a VP pick. He's likely on the short list.

Yeah, could be. I also think Rubio is running for VP.

.

Well, pissing off the likely front runner isn't the way to do it...or is it just the media narrative that the former colleagues, Rubio and Bush, have been at odds?

Yeah, I've seen that. I can't imagine that Bush would pick Rubio regardless of their relationship, he'd need someone from a "battleground" state.

Plus, professional politicians will pretend to bury the hatchet if votes are on the line, Bush would pick him if it meant a better chance to win.

I'm really beginning to doubt Bush is gonna be the pick, though.

I don't. It'll be the guy with the most money and I'm afraid that's gonna be Bush. These candidates that only have the one gazillionaire propping them up are not going to make it to through to the end.

Ugh. Yeah, I do tend to forget about the money thing.

It's all about the green, Mac, gotta remember that. What a shame.

The GOP should just run Cruz/Palin or Palin/Cruz and let's get past this.

Hillary is neck deep in controversy and still leads all Republicans in the polls.

Shouldn't that say something?

.

What it says is the GOP is a fractured party. What is needed is a confident speaker who has a message and passion for what he believes in. A strong conservative platform with libertarian-leaning views on social issues, would be a winning ticket. Cruz or Walker would both be very good at this. I think people would be surprised at how 'libertarian' Cruz can be, given he has been portrayed by the left as being a radical "far right" wacko.

Marco Rubio will be the VP pick... I predict this no matter who is the winner of the primary other than Jeb Bush. I don't think Bush would pick Rubio, he would go with Rob Portman.

I like Sarah Palin but I don't think she can ever win. She has been so demonized by the left and she hasn't really handled much of it the way she should have. She is a good conservative voice, I like what she says and she's a rock star on the book trail, but I don't think she is presidential material. I think she would be a good Energy Secretary.

As you well know, I not only defined it I gave YOU as an example, which is why you edited that example out of my post!

You didn't define anything. When someone asks "what is meant by 'far right'" and your reply is "you are!" that is NOT defining anything except your incompetence.

Except I said a lot more than that and quoted YOU as an example. You dishonestly edited that out. Dishonesty is yet another characteristic of the far Right ideology.

The far Right is characterized by pigheaded, uncompromising stubbornness, like you.

And yet another empty post with no definition of "far right" and delusional ranting by someone who wants to stereotype people and attack them personally, based on those false stereotypes and prejudices.

As you well know, I not only defined it I gave YOU as an example, which is why you edited that example out of my post!

What needs to be rejected are rigid ideologues. ...
I am DONE with Republicans telling me they are "conservative" then capitulating every chance they get to Democrats while telling me "it's the best we could do." It's time for someone with some balls to stand up and reject the liberal nonsense and false narrative regarding Conservatism. If you don't want to be a part of that, fuck off. I couldn't care less.

No, I honestly edited out your dishonesty.

LIAR!

I think people would be surprised at how 'libertarian' Cruz can be, given he has been portrayed by the left as being a radical "far right" wacko.

Actually it was McCain, not the Left, who called Cruz whacko, to which Cruz replied, "I am a very, very proud wacko bird.” But as a far Right Ideologue, you have to lie about the Left.

The below whacko quote is as moronic as his fellow far Right traveler, Ahmadinejad, saying there are no gays in Iran!

“in my life, I have never once seen an Hispanic panhandler. In our community, it would be viewed as shameful to be out on the street begging.”
Ted "Whacko Bird" Cruz

 

[Boss]

So... because Cruz grew up in a community where begging was shameful and people got off their ass and worked for a living... THAT makes him "far right" ?

I don't see them either. In southwest Detroit a heavy "hispanic" area ive have never seen a "Hispanic" panhandler

No his lying makes him far Right.

No his lying makes him far Right.

His lying makes him far right? Of course, we all know that neither Leftists nor Centrists ever lie, right? Puh~leeeze.

Only far Right Leftists and Centrists lie. And don't say there aren't any, Bossy already pontificated the existence of such crossovers.

LMAO... Well if LYING makes you "far right" poor Hillary is about to drop off the "far right" cliff!

OH MY!

Like all that YOU call "Liberal Conservatives." It is their far Right CON$ervative ideology that makes them lie.

LMAOoo... Liberals are SO goofy when they are on the skids!

 

[JakeStarkey]

This will not those who are being deceived and weaved. Far right - RationalWiki

Far right -- The far right or extreme right is a political label used to identify parties and movements based on fascist, racist and/or extremely reactionary ideologies. Officially those on the far right embrace the concept of the "inequality of outcome", meaning that one group is naturally better than another. This can apply to everything from monarchies to Nazism, meaning that many far-rightists oppose others on the far-right who have a different idea of what the ruling class should be.

As far right is a neologism used by others than those considered far right, the definition is somewhat subjective. It is sometimes used interchangeably with "radical right", though most academics believe there is a difference between the two.

Anti-immigration; sometimes combined with either anti-Semitism or Islamophobia; in many cases outright racism, such as white supremacy and/or ethnic-related conspiracy theories such as Holocaust denial, Eurabia and ideas about "white extinction"

Anti-socialism and extreme anti-communism (as in endorsing conspiracy theories surrounding the subject), though in some cases supporting a limited welfare state and occasionally even "state capitalism" (except in the United States where any sort of welfare is seen as communism). On the other hand in the states a number of paleoconservatives and laissez-faire types are more hostile to a welfare state and may desire to see the social safety net gutted entirely.

Nationalism, possibly including historical revisionism

Pro-life and promoting childbirth (see also white extinction scenario)

Supporting family values and traditional gender roles, and is virtually always homophobic

Tough stance on crime, probably in support of capital punishment

Questioning universal civil rights and human rights.

Reactionary beliefs, meaning beliefs that things were better some time ago (often before some major legislative change, such as civil rights laws).

As I said, there is no "far right" to speak of in America as part of the voting populace.

Like all that YOU call "Liberal Conservatives." It is their far Right CON$ervative ideology that makes them lie.

Its just naked delusion. Boss can't back anything he's saying. And he's ignored every of 20 years of polling from both Pew and Gallup that explicitly contradict him.

So you're dealing with irrationality squared. A belief based on nothing. And a belief clung to in spite of overwhelming contradictory evidence.

His ilk have nothing else.

 

[Skylar]

Says you. ANd you're the same hapless soul that insisted that every poll ever conducted showed that most people are conservative. And we both know that was a lie:

And even when your own source contradicts you, you ignore it too:

You citing you doesn't amount to much.

Meanwhile, far right candidates like Cruz do exist. They do hold positions that are far right of the mainstream, and even right of other republicans. With a DW nominate score of 0.95, Cruz has one of the most extreme right wing scores every recorded by the DW nominate in its 30 year history.

You can imagine that's not 'far right'. But as your delusions regarding 'most people being conservative' demonstrate.......your imagination is meaningless.

[Cecilie1200]

Worse, I caught you lying. You claimed that every poll ever taken shows that most people were conservative.

The poll you submitted shows more conservatives than anything else. Most people ARE conservative.

The poll shows that 58% of folks aren't conservative. And only 38% are.

38% isn't 'most people'. 58% is.

I like how you blithely claim moderates lumped in with liberals.
