First Official GOP President Announcement

/raises hand

Your thread sucks and you should feel bad for making it!

Of course you do.

Because thoughts vocalized through the media or other platforms aren't subject to criticism?

If you lived by that standard you should rope yourself up for things you've posted on this page alone!

Thought police, in any case, would be if he was calling for this guys execution or imprisonment for saying it not laughing at the ridiculousness of said statement.

/shake head C'mon Nausi!

I would not want to. But then again, I don't fantasize about rape and murder so maybe I can't.

We're not talking about his actual statement, only the language and analogy he used to make it. Another example of politically correct based censorship.


See what I mean?

Exit note, according to wiki, 50-91% of people surveyed on university grounds in various places in the USA admit to having had a homicidal fantasy. Most likely you HAVE fantasized about murder before.

Also you can take your Your thread sucks and you should feel bad for making it! and shove it somewhere unpleasant.

/shrug

ok...if you insist.

/makes an appointment with Zackan's Mom

/digs five bucks worth of change out of the couch

You assume folks are more focused on an afterlife than the here and now?

A lot are...

...ironically I bet most of the Tea Party has some sort of moral revulsion to prostitution, despite the fact it's possibly the most pure form of capitalism out there.

haven't they gotten bored and jumped on some other bandwaggon yet?

Rand Paul running for president yet?

The junior senator from Texas is running for president. Here’s why his lies matter.

....
Cruz’s Politifact track record for publicly-asserted falsehoods is the second-highest among front-runners, totaling 56 percent of all statements they’ve looked at. The only other leading contender with a higher rating is Ben Carson, who has a 100 percent “pants on fire” history, the result mainly of his brief time in the national spotlight and only having given Politifact one assertion to check—that people choose to be gay. (The investigative process on verifying that claim could have been entertaining, had Carson taken up Dan Savage’s invitation to take a very personal version of the Pepsi Challenge. Politifact chose a less experiential approach.)

It’s not just Cruz’s habit of embellishment that makes the video’s title more wish-fulfillment than description. One would expect a video entitled “A Time for Truth” to contain, you know, truth. Or calls to speak the truth, at the very least. Cruz’s infomercial, on the other hand, is simply a collection of Cruz clips wherein he apparently confuses speaking the truth with speaking very dramatically and forcefully. It is the Ugly American approach to foreign language in moral form.....

There are objective falsehoods that show Cruz could just be looking at a different set of data. Other, more telling whoppers show that Cruz isn’t just looking at different data, he’s living in a different universe.

The former category contains his insistence that there’s no such thing as global warming. The latter kind of lie is why Cruz can look a child in the eye and tell her the world is on fire....

Multiple news organizations have found fault with this standard refrain from his stump speech: “There are 110,000 agents at the IRS. We need to put a padlock on that building and take every one of those 110,000 agents and put them on our southern border.” There are not 110,000 agents at the IRS. There aren’t even that many employees. There are about 82,000, of whom about 14,000 are agents.....

Cruz’s fantasy life, understandably, gets warmer and fuzzier closer to home. Take his version of the aw-shucks, I-don’t-deserve-her, backhandedly condescending marital anecdote that male candidates are required to have. It casts his decision to run for Senate as a moment of unexpected validation:

He recalled saying to his wife in the weeks before his Senate primary, when he was still behind in the polls, “Sweetheart, I’d like us to liquidate our entire net worth, liquid net worth, and put it into the campaign.”

“What astonished me, then and now, was Heidi within 60 seconds said, ‘Absolutely,’ with no hesitation,” said Mr. Cruz, who invested about $1.2 million—“which is all we had saved,” he added—into his campaign.

Heidi Cruz herself recalls the conversation differently. There was no movie-friendly smash cut “absolutely,” or even assent. Rather, she told Politico, she “wanted him to raise money from elsewhere first, to show that the support was out there.” And even then, “She proposed that they not put their own cash into the campaign unless it made the difference between winning and losing.” That’s sort of the opposite of an instantaneous absolutely: a hesitant and conditional maybe.....

As hard as he can without announcing.
