Trump Accuses Cruz Of a Federal Crime...

Rational Nation USA
Purveyor of Truth

Given Trump's almost immediate response to his shellacking in Wisconsin it is clear The Donald is a very sore loser. Resorting once again to name calling, as well as levelling serious and unsubstantiated claims against Rafael (Ted) Cruz, Trump displays his lack of presidential polish. Believing Trump is presidential material is almost to defy reason.

So far, we've seen Donald Trump be gracious on election night once. That was the night of Feb. 1, after Trump unexpectedly lost Iowa to Ted Cruz. No one knew how Trump would react, and Trump came out and presented a new Donald. Calm, brief, gracious. Then, within a day or two, he started accusing Cruz of having stolen the election, setting up his long-standing critique of Cruz as "Lyin' Ted."

After he lost Wisconsin on Tuesday night, it was the non-gracious Trump that appeared, in the form of a statement about how Cruz won the state.


There's a lot of bitterness and anger in there -- no doubt in part the product of having to still be slogging through random states in an increasingly desperate push to get to the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination. That's got to be annoying to a guy who doesn't even have to show up in the studio to be interviewed on TV.

Hopefully as the campaign slogs on more republicans and conservatives will begin to see beneath the surface Teflon that has obviously covered Trump during the campaign and see him for the person he really is. An extremely flawed individual with very questionable principles and values.

    And you'll see no proof, as Trump has none. Taking a page from today's conservatives, if Trump loses, just like when McCain and Romney did, he will claim the election was stolen.

    Extremist right wingers cannot believe they are getting beat at the polls, so they resort to the "stolen election" dodge.

    I guess it's easier than saying America just ain't that much into you...

    They all coordinate with their superPACs. As Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart showed, the laws regarding superPACs are a joke.

    Most of this year's election has been like a circus, but Cruz is not a part of the circus. He's something really dangerous. I hope Trump can take him down.

    Indeed the GOP primary season has been a circus of clowns Jersey, Drumpf is the head clown, chef narcissist, and the party's flaming demagogue.

    Cruz is snake in the weeds, waiting to strike and inject his venom into the national body politic.

    Don't worry Jersey, neither will be president. America can't be that naive or stupid. Can they?

    I think Willis Hart would definitely rather see a president Trump over a president Sanders. Hillary, he thinks she's going to be indicted for her emails and go to prison (so it can't be her).

    Personally, I don't know anybody who would leave their beloved home based upon the outcome of any election. Leaders come and go. They change history, sometimes for the better; sometimes regrettably and inexorably very much for the worse. The ship of state turns more slowly than does the largest ocean liner that Cunard could ever build. Yet there does come a turning point.

    The guy at Dixieline Lumber swore he would retire early and move to Arizona when eight democrats swept every high office in California in 2010.

    I could hardly get out of bed when Bush was re-elected in 2004. I was literally sickened. I was seriously ill.

    Supposedly many republicans considered leaving when Obama was elected to a second term. Where ya gonna go?

    If I hear one more idiot say that they would rather have Trump as president...

    But since things have been deteriorating at a rapid pace since the inception of this new millennium, Octo, if you really are serious, I hope you would consider Baja California. There is a community of American ex-pats that live on the beach. You can't own land, but you lease it. Your money is multiplied by a factor of four or five. Many of the Americans living in Baja have legal problems. But you could re-enter the U.S. at any time. California is beautiful baby. Texas has the music. Even Phoenix has the Rhythm Room. The culture in Tijuana/Rosarito and Ensenada my leave you dry, but they do have mariachis. Spanish is an easy language if you know any other Romance languages.

    A sad state of affairs but this scenario (Trump) is exactly what the Repubican party deserves (but not the nation unfortunately)

    Yes Tim, you are entirely correct.

    The republican party, as well as the zenophobic, bigoted conservatives deserve the defeat they are going to reap in November 2016.

    Those of us truly understand the meaning and value of liberty will NOT be voting republican in Nocvemer.

    Hope all is well Tim.

Obama on the Campaign Trail...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny For a President that has talked about unifying in the past it certainly seems this segment of the Presidents recent remarks focus more on divisiveness than unity. I guess politics are, after all just politics. It is more about building a base, telling people what you think they want to hear, and getting reelected than it is about telling the truth. Unfortunately this can be said about both party's. The President: "The Republican plan comes down to this, ‘Dirtier air, dirtier water, less people with health insurance.” h/t: Real Clear Politics "My plan says we’re going to put teachers back in the classrooms, construction workers back to work," President Obama said at a campaign event today. "Tax cuts for small businesses, tax cuts for hiring veterans, tax cuts if you give your workers a raise –- that’s my plan." "The Republicans plan, Obama says, boils down to this: 'Dirtier a

A Liberals View of OWS... From the New Republic

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny OWS, the movement lacking leadership as well as defined objectives having a reasonable chance of success. The longer it grinds on the more it look like a bunch of misfit radicals looking for the free ride. However, on the other hand there are certainly those who have a clear vision as to what and why Wall Street needs to change. The reasonable people supporting OWS are doing so to end crony capitalism, corporatism, the unethical practices of banking executives and mortgage lenders, as well as government bailouts of businesses. They also recognize corporate lobbyist must become a extinct group. Given the majority of people would tend to agree with the above someone ought to be asking the question, why doesn't the reasonable Tea Party folks and the reasonable OWS folks come together and pool resources so to speak? Tea Party individuals want more fiscal discipline and restraint so as to bring balance to national fis

Taxing the Sale of Your Home

BY: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny From the inbox at RN USA . I am sure there are many who remain unaware of this provision of ObamaCare. E-mail is reproduced here in full with appropriate linkage. Do you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill. Just thought you should know. SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill) REAL ESTATE SALES TAX So, this is "change you can believe in"? Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 if you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to mess with the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote

Unfortunately the philosophic regimen and discipline to achieve this lofty goal has been lost on the current generation of self serving and single issue driven politicians. Make no mistake folks the preceding statement applies to both parties. Neither can get past ideological differences to solve common problems. This site markets itself as an Independent Conservative/Libertarian blog with a strong focus on Constitutional and Randian principles. Understanding the full depth of either requires a bit of study as well as an open mind. Both are attributes that our founding fathers, and the principles that they stood for, require. Maybe this site was naive in its inception as it launched its maiden voyage. It believed, incorrectly so, that conservatives and liberal alike understood the basic and central concepts that lead to the birt

Progressive Collectivism... The Motivation

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA All political movements start with a cause. That is to say they have a purpose and an agenda which the supporters of the cause believe will make their society a better place to live. History has shown that societies with the most intrusive and leviathan governments are the least effective and restrict the liberties of individuals too the greatest degree. The classical liberals, whose philosophy of governance was anchored in the  Enlightenment  and The Age of Reason , believed in maximum liberty for the individual. They were wary of government, believing it was as much a force for evil as good. Classical Liberalism was about the individual, the rights of the individual, and the belief that the individual was not a vassal of the state, but rather should be the master of the state, limiting it's interference in the lives of the people. I have been accused of not being able to recognize liberty or individualism if it bit me in the ass.

Race Baiting Andre Carson Style

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism Libe rty -vs- Trya nny Rep. Andre Carson - Democrat Indiana Allegations of racism being leveled at the Tea Party have been there since the beginning. Anyone who denies the existence of racism, whether from the right or the left is either naive or blind. Both conservatives and liberals should come together and denounce any form of racism, wherever it rears its ugly head. However, the use of race baiting to further the political agenda of an individual or group is as reprehensible as actual racism. Rep. Andre Carson recent remarks with respect to the Tea Party amount to nothing more than over heated race baiting at its worst. From Politico : A top lawmaker in the Congressional Black Caucus says tea partiers on Capitol Hill would like to see African-Americans hanging from trees and accuses the movement of wishing for a return to the Jim Crow era.

It really doesn't matter. You see, the the right is full of sh*t and the left is even more full of sh*t.. To which I have determined to say... SO WHAT. It's a game people. And the name of the game is who who will gain the upper hand and ultimately have  control   of the people. It is sickening, it is unethical, it is immoral, it is life sapping, it is irrational, and it is contrary to the principals this nation was founded on. To which the MODERN day democratic party, as well as the republican party respond by saying... So What?
