First Official GOP President Announcement

Oh well indeed. Back to arguing. When's sheriff Joe heading out on a "fact checking" mission about Ted Cruz's true birth certificate?

Being that Cruz's wife is a manager at Goldman Sachs in Houston; not anytime soon, Arpaio likes $.

Thing about Cruz I don't get:
Said he wants to abolish the IRS and establish a flat tax, but makes no mention of what would be established to collect.

Well, he could abolish the IRS then start the "ERS", which works exactly like the IRS but it's not named IRS. Cruz gets to show he follows through on promises, and taxes are still collected.

it is justified here because why should an unborn's life be more valuable than the mothers?

In their defense Pleebo, they haven't actually expressed the pro-life argument.

If I read them correctly they did say it should be available but feels that a person shouldn't be getting them on a regular basis. More than likely wouldn't utilize the service themselves.

Which really is far more sensible than "pro-life"

It's only inconsistent if you view social topics in black and white. Which, knowing you, wouldn't surprise me.

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. A new profile of Ben Carson in GQ magazine quotes the presidential hopeful making some more controversial claims.

The lengthy piece begins with Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and conservative favorite, reacting to President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech. One of Carson's advisers said Obama looked good and Carson responded by calling the president a "psychopath."

"Like most psychopaths," Carson said. "That's why they're successful. That's the way they look. They all look great."

Carson is no stranger to controversial statements. Earlier his month, the bestselling book author drew national headlines after he said men who come out as gay in prison prove homosexuality is a choice. And last year, Carson repeatedly compared the US to Nazi Germany.

"I mean, [our society is] very much like Nazi Germany," he said in one interview, according to Talking Points Memo. "And I know you're not supposed to say 'Nazi Germany,' but I don't care about political correctness. You know, you had a government using its tools to intimidate the population. We now live in a society where people are afraid to say what they actually believe."

He repeated this position in the GQ profile — even while visiting Israel's Holocaust museum.

"On several occasions, I tried to get Carson to concede that his analogy likening the U.S. to Nazi Germany was out of line," GQ's Jason Zengerle wrote. "Our longest discussion about the matter came in Jerusalem, in the cafeteria of the Holocaust museum at Yad Vashem. We'd spent the previous ninety minutes touring the museum, followed by Carson entering Yad Vashem's Hall of Remembrance and, black kippah atop his head, laying a wreath. ... Given all this, I asked Carson, did it make him reconsider his analogy?"

Carson again didn't budge.

"Not at all," he said. "It makes [the Nazi comparison] even stronger."

Also during his trip to Israel, Carson reportedly compared Syrian civil war to the racially charged riots in Ferguson, Missouri, that erupted last year. Carson visited the Golan Heights, disputed territory under Israeli control, and an Israeli soldier told him the Islamist fighters are from Morocco and Europe instead of Syria. Carson said the US had the same problem of outside "troublemakers" stirring up violence.

"It's just like the troublemakers in Ferguson," Carson replied.

So when is a baby an innocent life and when isn't it? It's not really a kinda-sorta, "where does this fall on the spectrum" type of deal. Basically, I'm interested where this concern for the mother suddenly comes from as it's absent from most arguments against abortion.

You would think yet here we are.
Hmm, true.

I think you just indirectly admitted that the pro-choice argument equates to common sense.

Sometimes I think conservatives think liberals have cooties. Even when we're speaking the same language and agree, conservatives still need to find a way to disagree no matter what.

Like it or not, you do agree and have the same stance as most democrats and most liberals in regards to abortion. Yes, even Obama.

Right, he avoided a default by slashing education and borrowing from the road fund to offset the 3 billion dollar deficit in 2010, and they're in the same boat again this year, with another 2 billion dollar deficit...

Revenues were up in the short-term, then fell below projections for the following 3 years, and they're still pushing their shortfalls into the future: Reaganomics.

I used to think Lordgrim was a retard, but holy ***.

Sayomi just took that prestigious title from him.

The question is how were Taxes Collected before 1913?

How do others perceive the Tea Party? don't hold back

There is nothing conservative about the tea party. You are a bunch of burn it down, temper tantrum throwing radicals.

To misquote Bender, libertarians my shiny metal ***. Yeah, you want the government out of the corporations and back in our bedrooms where it belongs.

Also all of your politicians are wholly owned subsidiaries of Koch Enterprises and most of your "grass roots" organizations pure astroturf.

I told you how I, and some of my conservative friends view the tea party.

Perhaps only grandma chanti and I are old enough to remember the "reform party" movement....with citizen ross perot. Which was basically the same group of whack jobs in different shaped tin foil hats.

I remember him!

welcome to old. population YOU!

Well after 21 it is all downhill...

It's more like after 25, it's all downhill. 30 is like the nexus of oldness.
