    You are aware that the first person to question Obama's birth place was Hillary, right? It's just another thing that will get thrown in her face in 2016.

    I dunno. Look up to Reagan, look down on Reagan. It's your choice how you look at a long dead and buried president. Personally I have issues with Madison . . . but I don't confuse him with 2000 to 2017. Go figure.

    Woah! Bush increased the national Debt from 11 trillion to 18 trillion from the end of 2008 to the beginning of 2015? No wonder Obama plays golf all the damn time with Bush still running the Executive Branch of government!

    And if someone was trying to copy Madison's policies and telling you that they were the greatest thing ever, you'd want to take issue with that, yes?

    Depends on current circumstances regarding the national economy and foreign and domestic issues in general. Just because something was wrong (or correct) umpty-squat years ago doesn't mean that it is today.

    Having lived through Reagan's presidency, I can tell you it was not a pleasant time. In fact, it was really disturbing.

    Oh come on now. Actually it was exciting. When Reagan declared the Soviet Union to be an Evil Empire you could hear limp-wristed liberals all across this nation (and indeed the world) gasp in horror and in unison for fear that an enraged Soviet Union . . . would . . . take umbrage . . . and . . . perhaps even fire off an angry letter to the New York Times . . . or . . . begin pounding a conference table with a shoe or something along those lines in response. Gasp! Oh the collective achie-breakie-hearted horror!

    Not even close to what I said, so nice try but no cigar.

    Yeah you keep thinking that, I'm sure Santorum did to right up until he was no longer relevant in 2011. Just don't be surprised when Cruz is thrown out like a dirty tampon because of his comments.

    You think ANY criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism. Sorry but Obama is not an anti-Semite no matter how you slice it. Obama doesn't agree with Bibi and guess what, most people don't and that doesn't make them anti-Semitic.

    Here's a hint, we are the United States of America, not the United States of Israel.

    Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I knew everything I needed to know about Obamas feelings about the Jews when he called them "random folks" when they were CLEARLY targeted in that French Kosher deli. That statement was NO accident.

    He has no problem protecting Muslims (and shaming Christians while he does it for some reason) even though THEY are the ones committing atrocities, he has said that he supports returning to the 1947 border, refuses to meet with Bibi, encourages his puppet Pelosi to publicly trash talk Bibi's speech, sends political operatives to support Bibi's opponent (after claiming he doesnt want to get involved with the election), negotiates a sweetheart deal with Iran and publicly addresses their people (on the US taxpayers dime by the way)....need I go on??? This is a longstanding ally that he treats like DOG (*)(*)(*)(*) for HIS OWN POLITICAL IDEOLOGY. How is Obama looking out for America's best interests by shunning one of our strongest allies??????????

    Seriously man....I dont know why you guys cant admit that Barack Hussein-O has GLARING biases.

    Could it be that the Dems do not like him because he is Hispanic. I mean I can not be his politics can only be the color of his skin. Right? I mean to be attacking a guy just because of that is about as low as it gets.

    It's not me looking through Obama colored glasses, it is you looking through your "OBAMA IS THE ANTI-CHRIST" glasses.

    What are you Obama deranged syndrome people going to do when he's gone?

    Santorum has the backbone of a worm. Cruz is everything this country needs whether you like to admit it or not. A fierce leader who eats, sleeps, breathes, and bleeds the Constitution. We need a bold leader to UNDUE all the crap that this bloated federal too-big-to-fail government has screwed up.

    The only thing worse than a too-big-to-fail bank.....is a too-big-to-fail government. Social Security sucks....but its TBTF.....Medicare/aid is HORRIBLE....but its TBTF.....lets not let Obamacare do the same damn thing. Its always these social welfare (income redistribution) programs that get too many dependent people, then you can never get rid of it....much to the detriment of this country and its future.

    Maybe you arent keeping up as well as I am with all of his blunders but I thought I laid them out pretty well for you. Denial perhaps?

    Complain about the next person screwing things up left and right whether it be a Democrat or liberal Republican.

    Again, fly your "hope" high, but don't be surprised when Ted Cruz gets kicked to the curb. I'd bet money on it, how sure are you?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Blunders? Absolutely. Anti-Semitic? Nope, not even close.

    Ah, so you're one of those that has no solutions, just gripes about others. Got it, thank you for the clarification.
