bush_cheney2004 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Well yeah, if you happen to own property in Cape Breton. It is a lovely place after all. Can't become U.S. president just on a party primary election...I guess some of them don't know that. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

Coal has been off the table for years, Trump just arrived on the scene. Edited March 21, 2016 by rotary Quote
bush_cheney2004 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 And then there's the real issue. Canadians never needed a Cruz excuse to emigrate to the USA....been doing it for decades, including my next door neighbour. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

While where there is an ebb, there is also a flow. So I'm just looking at property near Badeck. That's in Cape Breton BTW. Edited March 21, 2016 by rotary Quote

Big Guy Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Let's just focus on this one: Conservatives are already among the minority ... ...Fortunately the Second Amendment will be well protected, so we can all go out a buy ourselves a gun and blow our brains out before having to suffer the effects of "slow-death-by-non-representation". Welcome to the board. It is refreshing to have a serious American representative on the board sharing their views as relating to Canada. Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
Guest Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Does Anonymous actually have evidence of Ted, God's chosen Republican, Cruz hiring prostitutes? Unlike the guy in the in the New Testament, Republican Jesus is very pro-gun, in favour of the concentration of wealth and opposed to helping the poor or sick, so maybe he is in favour of hookers and infidelity too. I guess we will find out. Edited March 21, 2016 by Guest Quote
Topaz Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 One thing Cruz is planning on doing is giving more tax cuts to the very rich, he's even higher than Trump in his cuts. I wonder how the middle-incomers who are supporting him feel about that? Quote

I wonder how the middle-incomers who are supporting him feel about that? Good...the middle class and poor should be paying more of their "fair share" of taxes. Not enough rich people to soak for paying all the freeloaders. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
taxme Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Frightning thought indeed if Cruz becomes President. It will be the same old same old. More for the elite, and less for the people. Quote

Exegesisme Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) We need all we need, but certainly we do not need terrorism. I believe US and the world would like an US President who is qualified to provide all the need and prevent all the not need. Socialism is not qualified for history has already proved it is evil. Ignorance is not qualified for which even could not distinguish the private section and the republic section. Bully is not qualified for which itself is terrorism.
