Any predictions on what each candidate will say?

Guest
03-22-2016, 08:22 AM
WHo cares what the candidates will say. What should be of importance is what Obama will say.

Since he appologizes for what communists think of the USA, he will most likely rationalize an understanding why the bombers did what they did.
We will hear his rhetoric on how unacceptable the task was. He will not acknowledge that it an act of terrorism.

He will not do anything more to assure the safety of Americans at home and abroad.

And for all you Clinton supporters, keep in mind she supports the great job the limp wristed, linguine spined actions/lack of actions.

I am sure that Obama will blame it on Islamophobia, and then apologize for America again.

Ridiculous statement. And some of these bombers are probably about as Muslim as Trump is a Christian.

But, lets blame this all again on Obama. Afterall terrorism only started after Obama took office. We all know that.

Yep, he was right. A liberal will make excuses for them. Blame it on Trump. Trump is the new Bush for the liberals. Saw that one coming.

If you say so. It must be true if a libtard says so. Meanwhile, Obama is apologizing to his communist kin folk in Cuba.

You make the assumption, perhaps incorrectly, that Obama has no relatives in Cuba, and the OP made the assumption, perhaps incorrectly, that Obama does have relatives in Cuba. Just how in your Liberal mind is that racist?

Because in the eyes of any committed member of the far Left EVERYTHING coming out of your mouth or keyboard is inherently and automatically " Racist " .
It is their " go to " retort when truth and logic are too apparent .

Totally agree. Anyone that doesn't agree with a liberal is either a racist, a sexist or a bigot. It's the truth, so help me Hillary.

ISIS wants a President Trump. He will be a magnificent advertisement for recruitment. Having the US military against ISIS is perfect for getting thousands of poor youth to come to their defense. There will be an attack in the US in September or October planned by ISIS or other similar organizations with the goal of electing Donald.

Too bad we didn't stop all the Jews from coming to this country. They were in great part the leaders of the labor movement with all its violence. They have controlled and manipulated the banks and bought the government. Just this week both candidates bowed and scraped before AIPAC, not for Jewish votes but for Jewish money. Jews stole our atomic secrets and gave them to the USSR. Jews may have even plotted to kill Kennedy which is why Jack Ruby (reubenstein) had to kill Oswald. And somehow they have even gotten three Supreme Court seats and may get a fourth.

See it's easy to spout bigoted ideas, and support the 'truth' behind those bigoted ideas. Next week we can list all the evils of letting in the Catholics (they have the rest of the Court). Should have closed the ports before all those dark skinned Italians and those Eastern European Poles started changing our country from what it was in the good old days.

Great! You convinced me to vote for him. This way, we will get rid of them faster. Because with Hilary in there, she will probably invite them in and sell them a state or two. If you live your life in fear, then you deserve to be conquered. Don't worry liberals, Donald won't draft you to serve. Wouldn't want to chip your manicure. :1rotfl:..:1rotfl:..:1rotfl:

The bombing in Brussels emphasizes that this is foremost a European problem. You have 28 or so countries with very little coordination in combatting home grown terrorism. That mindset has to change, but historically the chances aren't good.

Hope not. Trump is a great unifier for the Muslim religious zealots. 9/11 struck at what they saw as our symbols and Donald Trump has been one of these for a long time.

Hey Pal, It's EyeTalYuns.

You missed one very big point that does make a difference.

No matter who you list for real or sarcasm...none of them were sworn to kill us.

So all the smart ass counterpoint should at least try to be some what consistent.

Which of all the peoples who have come to America are sworn to kill as many of us as possible.

Maybe I am missing the supposed humor ........but it is not funny. Muslim extremists sworn to kill us....we will try to keep it as simple as possible for those who have difficulty grasping a point.

You won't hear some smart alack answer about McCain or anyone with his courage out of my mouth. For that reason alone I would support him. I owe him that much. Maybe I owe you that much too. I don't know.

He's a man of character that is not afraid to speak the truth about Obama even at the risk of loosing votes. How can you not respect a man like that?

Hey don't except these guys to admit any Repub was involved it the destabilization of the Middle East.

But we all know who invaded a country that had not attacked us, lied about WMD and who had the Sec of State go on TV and say "But we don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."

But they won't admit that ever!!!They will just continue to blame Obama!!!! Because that's all they can do!

Let the military, using our intelligence organizations as well as our allies, fight the war the way they have been trained, not how politicians wish for it to be fought. Politicians and their PC are going to be our downfall. It was the reason the Redcoats lost to us. Fight the war according to a wish to win, not a war of wits. You can't negotiate peace with radicals. You have to beat them into submission and then beat them a little more to let them know that we are serious. Reagan scared the cr@p out of Gaddafi/Qaddafi, by bombing him and his family and we didn't have any more trouble with him. Time for the politicians to unleash the hounds, or in this case the USMC devil dogs.

Yes, they ARE very brave and well trained men (and women). I knew quite a few in Baghdad in 2003. They seemed so young, but old in the eyes and professional in their demeanor. Total respect. Even the General and Pat Kennedy seemed young in comparison to me.

It's time that we got away from that police action mentality when we fight a war. It's time to cut loose the dogs and let them fight as they were trained, dirty if necessary and to win. You can't reason with fanatics and these Muslim radicals are fanatics.

My guess is if you were paying for this war instead of our grandchildren paying for it you wouldn't be such a tough American patriot. Our enemy is spending 1 dollar to our every 1000 dollars and we are not smart enough to know how they are going to bring us to our knees. I for one believe this forum would not be quite as hawkish if we had a balanced budget and had to pay for Everything going on the credit card. How much do you suppose ISIS spent on today's terror attack in Belguim? We are building new aircraft carrier , paid for by our grandchildren of course, fighting an enemy that doesn't even have a piper cub airplane. We are defeating ourselves from the inside, just give us enough time. IMO

I think the point you are missing is we are not going after the enemy/ISIS to win the battle. Hence we spend more than enough on wheel spinning and political/hands tied military!

No offense, but you don't know what you are talking about. We build carriers so that we don't have to have military bases occupying property in other countries near the enemy in order to fight them. There is more to it than just that but even if I had the patience to explain it in detail, you would just cut and run anyway.

Of course, we need a balanced budget. And of course we need to allow the military to fight wars, not inexperienced politicians, most of whom have never marched in formation before. In the past, we paid for wars with either a military tax(war tax) or war bonds.

You have a very negative outlook on things. I once had an old war dog tell me "don't come to me with complaints on how something is done unless you also bring a solution." Of course, he used more descriptive and colorful language in his version.

said Generals, what Must we do to defeat these evil radical Muslims terrorists. Anyone who Still thinks this President is doing his job, needs a mental health check. They are coming for your kids and grandkids and trump is the Only hope we have. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Obama in a skirt and the terror Will continue. Liberalism is destroying this country

With all due respect I believe it is you who has no idea about cost being deferred to our grandchildren. "Of course we need a balanced budget" Hillary and Bernie will say that. You are right about one thing we do need a war tax and means testing of SS and Medicare if we are to fund all this patriotic war you suggest we need. As far as selling bonds we have way to many of our worthless bonds outstanding now. Would I be correct in assuming you are a Trump supporter with no idea how he is going to make America great again but full speed ahead? That said my best to you and your old war dog acquaintance.

And best to you, as you set back in your PROTECTED freedom. Just a point of difference between us, among many I am sure. I would rather invest in defense and freedom than be in debt by means of freebies to everyone that says they can't live without the gov nanny. Without defense, you won't have to worry about your benefits because someone else will be ruling you. That's not extreme, just fact. We have a very young and fertile ground that everyone else is envious of. With no defense, they will feel free to take it. If you don't believe that then you are very naive. If you want to cut spending, why not go to the largest expenditure, the freebies. No, not Social Security and Medicare that everyone has paid for. All the other freebies.

I am for a balanced budget, but I am also for everyone pulling their own weight, unless handicapped or too old. PC sucks, and so do liberals.

This statement shows how ignorant you are. The truth is (not sure if you're interested in the truth but...) yes the Democratic party was, at one time, the party of the south and they were/are racist. However, in the 60's when Johnson passed the civil rights act those southern racists turned to the republican party. So, now you have them! Congratulations.

Cruz was born in Matanzas, Cuba, in 1939.

His father, Rafael Cruz, was a salesman for RCA, originally from the Canary Islands, Spain.

His mother, Emilia Laudelina Díaz, was a teacher.[4][5][6]

Cruz states he joined the Cuban revolution at age 14 and "suffered beatings and imprisonment for protesting the oppressive regime"[7][8][4][9] of dictator Fulgencio Batista.[10][11]

According to Cruz, as a teenager, he "didn't know Castro was a Communist".[12][13][14] Cruz has stated in interviews that he fled Cuba at age 18 in 1957, after an attorney for the family bribed a Batista official to grant him an exit permit.[1][15][2] Cruz said he left with $100 sewn into his underwear before the Battle of Santa Clara, in which the revolution toppled Batista on January 1, 1959.

A Cuban émigré, he knew little or no English[16] when he arrived in Austin[9] to study at the University of Texas. During interviews and on the campaign trail, Cruz' son Ted recalls his father telling him he worked his way through college as a dishwasher, making 50 cents an hour.[1][17]

Cruz graduated from the university with a degree in mathematics.[9] A few years later he became a staunch critic of Castro after "the rebel leader took control and began seizing private property and suppressing dissent".[12]

Cruz recounts that his younger sister fought against the new regime in the counter-revolution and was consequently tortured. He remained regretful for his early support of Castro and expressed his remorse to his son on numerous occasions.[4][11]

And best to you, as you set back in your PROTECTED freedom. Just a point of difference between us, among many I am sure. I would rather invest in defense and freedom than be in debt by means of freebies to everyone that says they can't live without the gov nanny. Without defense, you won't have to worry about your benefits because someone else will be ruling you. That's not extreme, just fact. We have a very young and fertile ground that everyone else is envious of. With no defense, they will feel free to take it. If you don't believe that then you are very naive. If you want to cut spending, why not go to the largest expenditure, the freebies. No, not Social Security and Medicare that everyone has paid for. All the other freebies.

I am for a balanced budget, but I am also for everyone pulling their own weight, unless handicapped or too old. PC sucks, and so do liberals.
You used the word invest, that is a word liberals have taken over. Invest now means let our grandchildren pay for it. If you look up the word invest in Webster's it doesn't say borrow from next generation. While you are at it look up the word deadbeat, it will say something like someone who doesn't pay his debts. Sounds like our generation does it not. I don't mean this as a personnel attack as we are all ignoring what we are doing while blaming it on the poor. IMO

I do not take it as an attack. Let me explain my use of "invest" as I see it. I believe that when you invest, you are investing or purchasing our future freedom. If you invest, even if borrowed in our military, you are insuring the freedom of future generations. A weak military makes us vulnerable to our enemies. Yes, because we are frivolous with our spending, our children will have to pay for it. I don't consider the number one mandate in the Constitution to be frivolous spending. But, the Constitution does not guarantee health care or welfare. That's not to say we shouldn't help those that can't help themselves. But, to lower our defenses because of greed in our country, is to invite more and more conflicts. Whether we wish it or not, with our country being the most powerful (?) and the most moral(?) in the world, it IS our responsibility to provide world policing, whether I like it or not. We are not satisfied when others take that role, such as Russia or China. I do believe that money spent on wasted foreign aid should be used to reinforce our military instead. We should only provide foreign aid assistance as a reward for peaceful coexistence, if at all.

There is a lot of fat that we could cut from the Gov whether or not the gov agencies like the diet, so to speak. Our economy is NOT doing well, regardless of unsubstantiated assurance otherwise. We have way too many folks on supposed disability now, or have just plain given up on seeking employment. We have a record high on people that have left the work force in the past seven years. We cannot sustain that kind of hit on the economy. With less people working, the less tax revenues the gov will receive. And the more expensive it gets to support those that do not wish to work. It is not a matter of the rich getting richer. It is a matter of the wealthy hoarding their wealth instead of investing it in employment, because they don't see a lucrative return on their investment. When business does better, the gov receives an increase in tax revenues. The idea is to quit the war on the wealthy and big business and allow them to assist our economy by boosting it with their investments, without worry of being penalized for it. Like it or not, without big business, you don't have revenues to support gov spending. You can increase taxes on the wealthy, but that is a short term spurt in revenue increase. Long term is that the wealthy and big businesses take their money overseas where they can keep more of it without greedy gov hands grasping for it.

Sorry about the diatribe. And I did make it simplified because I am neither an economist, wealthy or big business. However, I might add, that anyone with an IRA or most retirement plans, want big business to invest so that they profit by it.

Meanwhile, Obie is watching a baseball game in commie land. He seems more comfortable with our enemies than our allies. His vacationing in Cuba reminds me of Sanders taking his honeymoon in the Soviet Union. You just can't make that stuff up. And liberal eat it up, too! It's a mad world.

Got to love this..... Lets go back in History


WHAT WOULD RONNIE DO?

I think he is a Russian spy too. How else can you explain those cheap suits and overdue haircut when he first started campaigning. Putin must have sent him a few bucks because he is looking better. Don't forget to check where he was born---Poland,,,also a Commie County.

Maybe that's the problem Bernie is getting Rubles from Putin and since he doesn't understand the Internet yet, he hasn't been able to communicate with Putin via his tube set radio. He will have to return to Moscow to get his new party supplied suit replacement. Apparently, he is due a replacement every 50 years for his service to the party. Maybe he can get them to throw in a haircut while he is there.
