The Cult of Personality aka the start of Primary Season
Let me say FIRST, I am a registered Independent and CANNOT vote in a Primary(that's New York rules...dare I say values...).
and
Odds are I will be supporting ANY Republican.
I DID NOT want to wade into this cesspool. But, due to the recent developments involving a debate. All I'll say is...If you cannot take questions from a 'lightweight' how the heck are you going to deal with the 'heavyweights'.
First off, I have never seen such a nasty primary.
BUT...
Lately, I feel as if I am dealing with the 0 voters of 2008, back then if you asked a question you were labeled a 'hater' and or a 'racist'(my old blog posts are all here just look through them).
Some of you are turning into DT zombies(Not sure of what to call you yet), because when I ask a question, I, and from what I hear a lot of other people, are labeled 'liberal' or 'idiot',etc(what is this elementary school).
Back in 2008 I dealt with 0's parrots repeating hope/change'(etc) and 'yes, we can'.
Now, with DT's parrots, I just keep hearing “he'll make America great again”and 'he'll build a wall'.
I started out, like before, being interested but when nobody will answer a single question, I turn away because I'm not into being a blind follower(it never ends well).
So, here's my quick take on this whole primary...
Some of my Tea Party people need to ask themselves a few questions.
When did you change?(or as Glenn Beck has said 'what is your pivot point'...he is right about a pivot point...believe me)
Ask yourself why is certain behavior OK when it's on the right...
You scoff, when 0's wife spends a lot on a dress... well, check out Town & Country and Harper's Bazaar.

Now, tell me, is money leaving politics?
Notice it's not Family Circle or Good Housekeeping.
Values(way back when in August of 2015)

and
the radio ad(which I'm not linking to lest I get more hate mail...I suggest, go to his website...you know the name of this person...see the end of this post for why I am not using his name)(woohoo, I finally used lest...)
What I will say is...Gee, thin/rich/white women telling me how easy/great their lives are. I've dealt with enough of the aforementioned women to know they look down their noses at us poor(er)/fat/black/white(or whatever you are) women...sorry, our gym/spa/lipo/Botox membership lapsed, we've been working.(yes, that was a wee bit sarcastic but those of us who stand on our feet for 8 hours a day aren't the ones in the spa, etc...we are too busy putting food on the table, cleaning our houses, taking care of pets/kids/parents and just being plain wore out from working...BTW, I'm white...so don’t accuse me of being racist. Actually Mike Huckabee had a great line in the last debate, it was about retiring. Transcript: Fox Business Undercard Republican debate http://wpo.st/41u61 ...here's a screen snap of the line-(if you don’t want to read the whole thing and yes, I have my problems with him, too)
This is not an endorsement make up your own mind
I personally like Ted Cruz...I just like him. It's a gut feeling. Plus the last time I saw a President that was despised, it turned out pretty good.(I remember my public school education or should I say my 'brainwashing' about President Reagan).
Ted Cruz seems to believe what he says and follows through. He was at the Tea Party rallies, lives in a Border State and has said things way back when(just search- http://www.c-span.org/ ) and who can't put his daughters away in a tower to protect them. (I believe he knows the terrible things his wife/daughters could face if the IS infiltrates the US...look up the IS/IS treatment of females).
If he has changed his mind on subjects...I'd like to hear, why. Odds are he has a reason.
And NO, I am not some mind numb robot liking someone because Glenn Beck endorsed him.(although we are usually on the same page...)
I purposefully left the candidate's name out and used IS-IS/IS because of keyword searches. I've heard they search for their names. I don’t want to deal with them and the hate mail. Call me scared but I don’t have a bodyguard and my Second Amendment rights are abridged/nonexistent(well you can get 'protection' if you're rich or connected...remind you of someone?)
Guess I'm gonna lose some followers...oh, bother. But some of you need to step back and look...honestly...look...
Notice, I can look at other candidates and say they have good points.
Can you?
