  • They want to build an ikea by the plain dealer there in Brooklyn but have had issues because the site has some "wetlands" on it.

    I mean I understand why wet lands are important - for birds, water, amimals. Taking one out really screws up the ecosystem in a major way. But over there in Brooklyn where it's surrounded by shopping, freeway, and the plain dealer I don't see the big deal. I just want an Ikea

    The thing about this omnibus bill is that even far left democrats are against it (a la Sanders and supporters - although maybe for different reasons such as not liking that it increases the military budget but slashes the EPA)

    Rand Paul and Bernie Sanders voted against it, those guys are about as polar opposite as you can get. Cruz voted against it as expected from a pretty far right conservative. Rubio, of course, didn't show up for the vote but thinks "it's basically the same thing as voting against"

  • So I guess that makes Paul, Sanders, Trump, Cruz, Christie for sure opposers of the bill.

    I haven't really seen much about other candidates - but I assume the establishment guys like Bush, Kasich, Rubio, Clinton are in favor of it. No other candidates are really worth talking about really.

  • This 1.1 trillion dollar spending bill did everything to reinforce that the republican establishment is controlled by big business. Ryan got one concession for big oil in this budget deal and for that one concession he threw social conservatives and fiscal conservatives to the ditch to get that concession for the big oil companies. Because too many people do not follow politics the republicans will get away with pure hypocrisy as they will have meaningless votes next year to defund Obamacare (again for about the 60th meaningless time) and defund Planned Parenthood knowing full well these votes will go no where however when the republicans who sold out and voted for this 1.1 trillion spending bill run in November they will be touting their meaningless votes.

    Funny the Cleveland clinic didn't have any problems leveling a bunch of wetlands and putting Avon hospital there (currently under construction)

  • This is why Trump is doing so well. People are tired of the establishment. They are all the same anyway. The more stupid shit republicans do like this, the more popular Trump will become.

    :neutral_face:

  • the left plays with a dirty, vicious, dishonest hand.

    the reps, many of them, are afraid of going toe to toe to

    fight for what they promised....

    wimp woodpeckerlike sombeeches.

    Time to start another republican party, if they

    go ahead and put Jeb into the nomination somehow,

    to maintain their safeness from attacks from the left.

    and, of course, they will lose the election again.....

    I still don't like Trump, he's a "rep" that conservative

    voters may very well be wishing they didn't get what

    they voted for.

    I'm all in on Cruz-Carson.

  • If the reps put Carson anywhere near the ballot. They will get beat by historic margins.

    He is worse then having Palin on the ballot

  • so, you are admitting that all lib voters are RACIST. Got it.

    No they just won't vote for someone that openly religious. They clearly aren't racist if they unanimously voted in the black dude with the goofy name.

  • Oh and the fact that Carson reading his memoirs could be prescribed as an ambien substitute.

    Yeah because the liberal voters hate black people.

    The reasons Carson has no chance are many.

    I'm sorry you are on the wrong side of this fight, but playing the racist card isn't going to work.

    "And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve."

  • sure. but why then did they vote for obamao?

    because he promised free rides, free stuff.

    I forgot.

    No, part of my racist comment actually was derived from expecting

    black Americans to toe the liberal line, and if they don't, they are

    "uncle toms".

    Obamao was religious too. The Muslim call to whatever song was the most beautiful song....

    he was a Christian too, why he went to his hate America/give free stuff mentor.

    go figure.

  • Carson is the only candidate I actually like. Given my voting preferences of always voting for the guy who will lose regardless of party affiliation I will be voting for carson

    Typical liberal response

    "The purpose of the military is to kill people and break things " - mike huckabee

  • yes, I'm mocking you libs.

  • anybody that's seen the Ben and Jesus picture Carson has prominently displayed in his residence, and still votes for him....is a deeply flawed individual who gravitates to other deeply flawed people.

  • I don't give a flip how much he loves Jesus. I like him as a person.

  • Franklin Graham quits GOP over Planned Parenthood funding

    The Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of evangelist Billy Graham, announced he is leaving the Republican Party after the GOP-led Congress passed a budget last week that continues funding for Planned Parenthood.

    Mr. Graham has previously said he has no faith in any political party, but his renunciation of the GOP on Monday echoed the anger of many on the far right who have called for Congress to halt all funding for Planned Parenthood in the wake of a series of undercover videos that revealed the group’s practice of harvesting tissue from aborted fetuses.

    “This is an example of why I have resigned from the Republican Party and declared myself Independent. I have no hope in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, or Tea Party to do what is best for America,” Mr. Graham said in a Facebook post.

    “Seeing and hearing Planned Parenthood talk nonchalantly about selling baby parts from aborted fetuses with utter disregard for human life is reminiscent of Joseph Mengele and the Nazi concentration camps!” Mr. Graham continued. “That should’ve been all that was needed to turn off the faucet for their funding.”

    Don't be silly. Only liberals knee-jerk emote over lies spread by the evil media.
