I’m assuming you are throwing the misogyny word out as tongue and cheek or baiting. Regardless it is not deserving of a response as there has never been a narrative more positive than lefties hate women unless they are nose-ring women, submit to female mutilations or watch Bill Mayer. Ha I forgot about PeeWee. Do you have knowledge of Cruz wanking on his hang-down thing in public? Well, I WAS talking about the misogyny of DEMOCRAT men who didn't vote for Hillary in droves in the 2008 primaries. But I won't mention it again. Of course, Cruz IS a wanker, but I don't know if he lets it out in public. LOL

www.nytimes.com/2015/04/09/us/super-pacs-network-quickly-raises-31-million-for-ted-cruz.html?ref=politics&_r=0"A network of new “super PACs” said Wednesday that it had raised $31 million to support Senator Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign, a sum that could upend expectations in the race for the Republican nomination and rewrite the political rule book for outside spending. The groups, four super PACs sharing variations of the name Keep the Promise, were established and secured commitments with virtually no warning over the course of several days beginning Monday." "Mr. Voelter declined to name any of the contributors or describe who had legal control over the new groups. But the first of the new super PACs, called Keep the Promise I, filed paperwork indicating it was based in Port Jefferson Station, N.Y., with an accountant named Jacquelyn James serving as treasurer. According to publicly available tax returns, Ms. James and her firm, Golub, LaCapra, Wilson & DeTiberiis, are also the accountants of record for a family foundation set up by Robert Mercer, a Long Island billionaire. A spokesman for Mr. Mercer, an intensely private hedge fund investor who almost never grants interviews, declined to comment. National Review reported Wednesday that the Mercer family would control one of the new super PACs." Another rotten billionaire comes out of the woodwork to bankroll Ted "Pee Wee" Cruz. Sadly (for him), Chris "Big Pussy" Christie does not seem to have a billionaire puppetmaster, and is fading fast, whereas Scott "Snake Eyes" Walker, who gained fame sticking it to unions just like Christie, has jumped to the top of the heap with what I suspect is Koch money. Stay tuned! I'm sure this is the way to get the best Presidential candidate, by letting billionaires do the picking.

www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-politics/wp/2015/04/10/hillary-clinton-to-announce-plans-to-run-for-president-on-sunday/?hpid=z1"Hillary Rodham Clinton will formally enter the presidential race with an announcement on Sunday followed by appearances on the campaign trail next week, three people familiar with her plans said on Friday, ending months of anticipation surrounding the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic nomination." "Behind the scenes, meanwhile, Clinton's fundraising machine is revving up. Her top bundlers are plotting aggressive outreach to thousands of Democratic donors over the weekend and into next week urging them to immediately send checks and make donations online as soon as the Clinton campaign's Web site goes live." Good day for you to escape to your own island, Turk. What I'm wondering is if Hillary has some billionaire bankroller, like the GOP frontrunners.

At least the republican race will be interesting and fun to watch. Maybe Obama could use some of that stimulus money and build a Colosseum. Let them slaughter each other on pay-per-view.

A battle of wits Ben Carson wins a battle of money Jeb wins. Another Bush v. Clinton, how boring and what a sad commentary on our country.

www.nationalreview.com/article/416794/jeb-bush-shows-his-six-pack-freedom-nra-jim-geraghty"At first glance, former Florida governor Jeb Bush might not seem like the political figure who best fits in with the National Rifle Association. His even-toned speaking style is a far cry from NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre’s fiery warnings against ongoing trampling of Americans’ fundamental Constitutional rights. Wearing no jacket, just like his probable rival Scott Walker, and with reading glasses across his nose, Jeb Bush came to Nashville today with a clear message to the assembled NRA conference attendees: You may not remember it, but I was a seriously pro-gun governor." "One of the problems of being one of the middle speakers at the NRA Convention’s Leadership Forum is that the jokes and applause lines start to sound like those of the preceding speakers. Bush offered, “The Second Amendment is the original homeland security,” and then, in criticism of President Obama, declared “the Bill of Rights is not a breakfast buffet” — a good line, except that about 15 minutes earlier, Governor Rick Perry of Texas had just joked, “We do not believe the Constitution is a cafeteria plan.” But Bush may have had the last laugh when he pointed out that, in part because of laws he signed while governor, 1.3 million Floridians now have valid concealed-carry permits. “That’s more than Texas,” Bush said with a smile. “Sorry, Governor Perry. Not that I’m competitive or anything.” Why the hell would 1.3 million Floridians feel the need to carry concealed handguns?

That is your right not to carry. I’m grateful you’ve never been in the position that needed a weapon. You and 99.9% of the population are damn fortunate. I’ve not been as protected and fortunate as you and 99.9% of the population. If I didn’t carry I would have been pushing daisies a decade ago. I respect your right to decline to carry. If I’m understanding correctly your position is willing to accept the death of those that carry over those that murder. BTW, I'm a lot older than you.
I wish I had 1.3 million weapons.

Well, I guess I should explain my position better then! As an ACLU member, I trust Americans with gun ownership, I just prefer not to be around where people are armed. They can stay, I leave.

So the newest float in the Parade of Clowns is Gen X'er Marco Rubio, trying to claim to be "new blood" even thought he seems most passionate about keeping alive useless 50+-year-old sanctions against Cuba that hurt America's economy too. Plus, he flip-flopped on immigration and now belongs to the fantasy "seal the border" zealots. (Hey, give me $100 billion dollars and I will "seal the border" with trolls, orcs, and dragons) One more thing hurting our economy.

www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32259537"And thanks to the US Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, a veritable geyser of cash has begun flowing from the super-wealthy into supposedly unaffiliated political action committees (PACs), which can provide a reliable bankroll for whichever candidate catches their fancy." "Grass-roots funding will fuel Mr Paul's presidential campaign, as it did two successive races by his father, Ron Paul, in 2008 and 2012. Mr Rubio and Mr Cruz will reap the rewards of deep-pocketed benefactors. The Florida senator, for instance, has support - to the tune of $10m - from auto magnate Norman Braman, the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles American football franchise. Mr Cruz already has the backing of hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who is reportedly helping to pour upwards of $31m into PACs supporting the Texan." As I have said, we are going to leave the choice of the "best" Presidential candidates to the billionaires.
