Good news: Rand Paul came in third place behind Cruz (Trump in first place) at 12% in Drudge Post-Debate Straw Poll. Cool! He's the only one to bring up the subject of spending our way into oblivion. The reason our military is the strongest in the world is because our economy is too.... Casey

Hey,....SEMPER COONASS, and all the best for Christmas / New Years !
I'd note that the reputed psychedelic effect of Green Mesquite smoke in confined areas is being tested here,....have heard from day one that it made the Apache, Navajo and Yaqui violent and bellicose, too.
Hope the tester doesn't BITE anyone.
other than that, just all the usual Drang und Sturm.

Paddler, something that you[and those that think like you-read liberals]will never understand.
Just because someone is on the Republican ticket, or running to get on the ticket doesn't qualify that person for sainthood by republicans.
As for the democrats, it just doesn't really matter as long as that person has a D next to their name, it's all good and sainthood is granted. Completely wrong. As the chart clearly shows, Republicans lie far more than Democrats. Carson's statements were false 84% of the time, Trump's were false 76% of the time. Why would you listen to a douche who lies 3 times out of 4? Don't make no sense. You all ignore facts because these [bleep] tell you what you want to hear. Good luck with that.

Paul got dirty early in this campaign and I don't think he liked it. I believe he is a true patriot and realizes that the best he can do at this point is help the cause. He really showed his ass when he attacked Trump in the first debate, apparently toadying to the very people who have been trying to marginalize him ever since he got elected to the Senate. Rand has done some very good things but he is really clueless about strategy. I always liked Ron Paul but honestly, lately Ron is whacked out taking up for Muslims and such.

The Wilks Bros, the Billionaires backing Ted Cruz are both out of the oil business [which helps explain WHY they are Billionaires] and are retired. One is a Preacher.
They watched what Cruz did in Texas to get in the Senate. His ideology matches up with theirs, so they support him for President. They live simple lives, so what else can they do with a couple hundred million bucks that would bring them as much pleasure as helping defeat Hillary Clinton?
And 200 million is not a lid. They are committed to seeing that Cruz doesn't lose due to being outspent as long as he continues to raise money from the small contributors.
They have a large extended but close knit family that allows them to contribute money where it does the most good, campaign or Pacs.
Cruz has no need for money that comes with strings. I've met Farris Wilks and talked to him a couple of times at a LGS. Seems like a really nice fellow, and you wouldn't know that he had a dime to his name if you met him. GO TED!

Fox News.....
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday squared off with Fox News anchor Bret Baier over comments Cruz made in 2013 as the Senate considered an immigration reform bill.
Baier began the interview by quoting Cruz in Tuesday’s GOP presidential debate saying that “I’ve never supported legalization, I do not intend to support it.”
The anchor then played a 2013 Senate speech by Cruz promoting his own amendment to the immigration reform bill, calling on “people of good faith on both sides of the aisle” to pass a bill “that allows those that are here illegally to come in out of the shadows.”
Asked to respond to the clip, Cruz said his amendment would “remove citizenship.”
“The fact that I introduced an amendment to remove part of the Gang of Eight bill doesn’t mean I support the rest of the Gang of Eight bill,” he added.
But Baier replied with a series of statements Cruz made in 2013 that indicated he wanted the rest of the bill to pass. He quoted the Texas Republican calling the legislation “the compromise that can pass” and saying: “If my amendment were adopted, this bill would pass.”
Cruz stammered in his response, saying that “of course I wanted my amendment to pass. … It doesn’t mean I supported other aspects of the bill.”
In an attempt to prove his amendment wasn’t a tacit endorsement of the rest of the bill, Cruz cited the fact that Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) voted with him.
“The problem, though, is that at the time you were telling people … this was not a poison pill,” Baier said in response. “You said you wanted it to pass at the time. Looking back at what you said then, and what you said now, which one should people believe?”

Time for the post debate "Trump hour of hate". Where do I sign up? Just popped in for a look, somebody said my name was taken in vain but I didn't see it. Good to see all the boys are still fulfilling their assigned role in political debates. Merry Christmas, everybody. If I'd known you were on, I would've availed myself of your name in vain! Hey Stevers, how are you doing?! Casey Hanging in amigo How's it up on the high plains? 77 in little Somalia right now

I couldn't tell much from your link Pat. It looks to me like it would take a lot of research into those groups to find out who finances them. The Koch's have a bunch of different groups they've created. IMO they are worthless. I have many libertarian leanings myself even though I'm not a member of the Libertarian Party, but calling the Koch's Libertarians or much of anything is a misnomer. They are totally out for themselves. I found this and Cruz just went up a bunch in my estimation: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ted-cruz-koch-dark-money_56548545e4b0879a5b0c6dc6 Well, you didn't ask how much money they have given Rubio. That's pretty easy to find.  The amount they'd given Rubio was in the link I provided or was in something else I'd seen, so I already knew. It didn't matter though because Rubio is a deal-breaker. Trump, Rand, Cruz or possibly Carson. The rest should have D's beside their names. But Trump is the one who's given money to Harry Reid, Hillary, Cuomo, etc etc. He's as much of a D as that douchebag Kasich So Kasich is your man? Your comprehension has not improved in the past year, I see.

GTC Yeah, it's kind of comforting that nobody has changed position in the last year. when you know you're right, why should you?
