The end of Rand

A lot of folks I know are worried about Rand Paul, as someone who may be able to thread the needle between the crazy right and the pragmatic GOP, while also bringing in libertarian and independents attracted to idealism.

Freepers are having none of it. Well, none of it this month, after Rand Paul went all pragmatic and said the GOP needs to pass some kind of immigration bill or risk demographic doom by 2025. Who knows where they will be as President Hillary looms, but for now, it's anti-apostate chest beating and NEVAR AGAINing all up in Freep.

meadsjn:

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., surrender monkey, just like dear old dad.

Jim Robinson leads the way!

FURP!!

longfellowsmuse sees a coming problem, but thinks illegals are too lazy to not hate.

Rand is wrong that the 12 million americans here illegally want to be productive…maybe a few do but most want the promised freebees and have no interest in assimilating ( learning English for instance) they would prefer to take over.

Rand is right however that if Republicans don’t wake up Texas will go democratic…the liberal left is working very hard to make it so. Lived in San Antonio on and off for six years and its politics has changed dramatically, possibly do to population shifts away from California and the Northeast.

Artcore has reached caps lock levels of idealistic declarations:

Rand, you’ve just helped me change my tune. Should you become the GOP presidential nominee, I WILL NOT BE VOTING FOR YOU! Maybe you can go and ask the illegals you love so much.

What a POS RINO this twerp is turning out to be. Nutty like his old man.

lexington minuteman 1775 declares he will never vote with Rand.

I really think that at some point folks need to give up on the GOP they are becoming more an more like the DEMS.
I will only vote for CONSERVATIVES
SORRY Rand..any chance you had that I would ever vote for you you lost on this trip to Texas
Have a nice day

GladesGuru is super racist:

Latrinos come here for the freebes - Republicans won’t give them free sh*t.

Therefore, Latrinos are Democrats because they are Gimme Pigs.

I expect Pelham's list is getting mighty short:

Once had hope for you Rand but now, like Rubio, you are off the list.

+1

NKP_Vet is going in with the nicknames:

Next Randy Paul will be saying Texans need to adopt homosexual “marriage” and get with time times. Anybody consider this character a conservative they are as nuts as he is.

dalereed performs:

Paul and his illegals can go straight to hell!

USNBandit counsels not concentrating on race...by calling Dems the real racists:

The GOP cannot and will not ever win a race based contest, because they will never beat the democrats at giving away money we don't have.

the GOP need and identity based strategy that is based upon old school American values. Hard work, the American Dream, building a future for your kids, a strong defense. They need to stop catering to groups and instead peel off those willing to listen.

Make the GOP a brand of winners, and cast the democrats as the brand for losers. They can start by correcting the left every time they attempt to associate the right with the crimes of the left, like. Jim Crow laws and the Klan. Right now the GOP will call attacks like that unfair, when they need to be out reminding the American people that those events were the work of democrats.

arthurus invokes that immigration stalwart, Ronald Reagan:

So Rand Paul has succumbed to Republicanism. If Conservatism seems destined to lose out in the future then Republicans should surrender now. No one believes that what Reagan did is or ever was possible. When Conservatives run as free market Christian conservatives they win in the aggregate. When they run as small potatoes Big Government accommodating mushes, they lose. Why vote for the self willed weak and losing party when the Rulers are foreordained? Why be on the losing side under vindictive winners?

free market Christian Conservativism can never fail, it can only be failed!

Eagles6 has a plan for a Whiter tomorrow:

Whitey seems to be the only demographic that doesn't vote in block according to how much of other people's money the politicians will give them.

I've also argued that anchor babies will be enough in some states once they become voting age.

Virtually all immigration needs to halt until the economy gets back on track.

No more being born here makes you a citizen. You must have at least one citizen parent.

No welfare or public benefits, including schools for illegals

Deport all illegals. Yeah, it will collapse Mexico but if we don't it's going to destroy the US.

Unfortunately I don't see any of this happening until we have a final fatal collapse.

Norm Lenhart is digging in hard. This could be a rough reversal for him. Or he'll just lay low like he did during the pro-Romney purges of yesteryear.

NOOOO!!!!! You must vote for the Republican NO MATTER WHAT!!! Thats what some here tell us isn’t it? Repubs help make Dem voters so we must vote for them NO MATTER WHAT!

Maybe they should think before spouting stupidity like that anymore. Because this is the result of it. And it is COMPLETE stupidity.

Freepers on unemployment.

The Senate fillibustered extending unemployment benefits. Freepers being by declaring victory against the moochers. Then, some unemployed Freepers angrily declare that this isn't really mooching!!!

SADMILLIE thinks unemployment is a parasite:

Today was a red letter day. It reminds me of the battle of Midway. We crushed that damned parasite unemployment so those lazy bastards will have to go to work and John Boehner dropped to his knees on these damned illegal aliens. I tell you we must now follow up. I demanded Boehner be ousted to my Congressman and he , by God ,listened.

OrangeHoof pulls out some facts that are not true:

States with the highest unemployment generally don’t have Republican senators (imagine that!) so I can understand Heller’s vote as political savvy, not necessarily an ideological decision. That might be true of the northeastern ones as well but it is hard to say since they are RINOs anyway.

icwhatudo tells a totally true story:

Month after month my neighbor told me he could not find a job. One day he invited me over for dinner, I thought it was to celebrate his finding of a new job as we had some of the biggest and best steaks I had in years. After dinner he told me he still was not working but had bought the steaks with his food stamps/independence card. I was sick to my stomach as he told me the good thing about being unemployed was that he had more time to work on his boat. His unemployment FINALLY ran out after what seemed like well over a year...and 7 days later he magically found a job where he is still working today.

xrmusn's social security is different!

I heard the other day that North Carolina had cut off some of the ‘benefits’(???) and the unemployment rate went DOWN once the ‘free money’ was cut off.

Funny how the ‘giveaways’ are considered ‘benefits’ while my SS payments are ‘entitlements’.

And before the ‘other’ crowd jumps in, I also paid into the same system and never drew a penny of unemployment or used medicare/medicaid.

Many Freepers call IC Ken an asshole.

I had an engineer apply for a job open I had. He was off 89 weeks. His resume looked great in my trash can.

Actually unemployed Freeper jocon307 gets nothing but prayers and sympathy:

Hang in there. I know it is hard. I just said a prayer to The Lord Jesus for you. I am sure God knows your situation. I had 2 jobs collapse out from under me within less than 3 years. God gave me another job. May He watch over you.

Thank you so much, SkyPilot! It’s all been very mentally disruptive to me. I never thought I would have such a hard time finding a job, and I never have (of course I had that one for a long time, so I wasn’t looking, which in hindsight might have been a mistake).

Paul R. counsels Freepers to have some empathy:

Especially if one is a professional and past 50, few employers are looking. A lot of people with the option ARE taking early retirement, which helps the U1 unemployment figures, but is deadly to the nation in the long run. Others do just go with the handouts, but I really believe most people would still prefer a good job, if such were available. It truly is, as you say, very discouraging, but you just have to keep hammering away. For those who would disparage others in your situation, I suggest they try walking in your shoes for a while! There’s nothing like actual experience.

Red in Blue PA suddenly ain't worrying about the debt:

Extended benefits have never been cut off at this high a level of unemployment under any President, Democrat or Republican, and that is an empirical fact:

RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman

I got behind, so I'm getting to this late. But Hoffman was amazing. His ability to sell characters of just about any sort - epically large and charismatic to quiet and small and petty - was unequaled. Freepers, though, don't actually see movies, or at least don't seem to enjoy them as much as they enjoy scoring political points on the Internet.

bigbob is secure in the knowledge that Dustin Hoffman never took drugs:

Hoffman was a great actor

Dustin, yes. This doper? No.

Revolting cat! thinks acting ain't no thing:

It takes a lot less to be anb actor than to be a concert pianist. Elvis Presley was an "actor".

All I hear here is that this actor was "great", "awesome", "unbelievable", "incredible", "amazing", the same things I hear on music threads from people who claim post-graduate degrees in music. What does it mean, valley girl? It means nothing to me!

A_Former_Democrat thinks drugs are just like guns:

Some nutcase goes and shoots up a theatre or a school and here they all come, shouting from the mountaintops for “gun control”

But as another of their own falls dead from drugs, nary a peep in favor of a war on drugs

red-dawg doesn't understand how alcohol is different than heroin.

I only have two questions:

If he had drank himself to death, would the NYC Cops have arrested a bunch of bartenders?

Were any of these people seen at Chris Kyle's Memorial service at Cowboys Stadium?

rktman can't resist an 'Obama is gay' crack.

We celebrate an actor, a person who reads texts others wrote and pretends to be others, a junkie who once played a famous fag! I get it now!

Uh, isn’t/wasn’t he a little “light” to play the “lyin’ king”?

OneVike laments the existence of fame:

I am sure that if I looked, it would not be too difficult to find a funeral that was held on Friday for a Godly individual who lived a life that was truly worthy of celebrating as we mourn their passing.

So why do we continue to celebrate the worst of our society instead of the best?

I guess no one cars if John Joe Christian died of natural causes after contributing his life to Christ, family and country because he did so in the obscurity of his little circle of friends and family.

And the spiral down into the depths of depravity continue for this once great country God had shed His grace upon.

Hating the Clintons

While there are certainly some hardcore racists on Free Republic, I actually think that the Stormfront like quality we are seeing these days is skin deep. Sure, Freepers do love them some collective guilt, but at their core, Freepers' main drive is hating political individuals.

Watching Free Republic swing towards the 'gotta put them ferals in their place,' I can't help but feel that they're racist in order to better rationalize their hatred for Obama.

Would Obama have had so much hatred directed against him if he were black? Check out Freepers and the Clintons.

It seems to me the hatred is about as hot, but it's directed towards the things that make the Clintons stand out to Freepers - Hillary's not feminine enough, Bill isn't faithful. Suddenly, these are the worst things ever, as Freep taps into their virgin-whore misogyny. Witness how Freepers embrace a BS story that Bill Clinton had an affair with actress Elizabeth Hurley with as much fervor as they do Obama's sons' war on whitey.

momtothree has decided adultery means whores everywhere:

Clinton = man whore
Hurley = female whore
Nothing else I can add.

hal ogen can't stop thinking about Clinton Sex.

Klintoon...a great role-model for youth. Oh, yeah...when billie was with her in in one room, was hillary with huma in the adjacent room? Enquiring minds want to know.

struggle is sure lesbianism is gonna be Hillary's secret weapon in 2016!

Drip drip drip
1. Clinton scandal to overshadow 2014 election issues.
2. Clinton divorce around 2014 general elections.
3. Hillary admits she’s a lesbian
4. 2016.

GreenAccord tries to make this have some political relevance:

OK, the leverage point of this is that Hillary is a clueless twit - which we already know but the low info voter can at least grasp this with their Primetime TV-level awareness.

She’s either a clueless twit, or she’s an enabler, which *should be* damning, but we know that would take a smidgeon of critical thinking skills to associate that character flaw with why she’s unfit for the Presidency.

I'm not sure, but I think tanknetter's wife got a literal boner for Bill Clinton:

My wife met him once, before he was President. She said that he exuded this very unsual and powerful charisma.

She also said that he couldnt maintain a lot of eye contact, kept glancing down ...

sten can't stand female actresses:

whenever I see liberal females in some movie, I’m repulsed by the probable number of diseases they would have due to the dozens and dozens of sexual partners

just skeezes me out

PapaBear3625 tries to explain why Clinton is unfaithful with hotties, but also unattractive:

Hurley could get anyone on the planet. Why settle for a Toon.

Clinton was well-connected with the Hollywood set. He was in a position to say good things about her to producers and directors.

napscoordinator really wants Bill Clinton to only bed ugly women:

I don’t believe it. Let’s look at the dogs that President Clinton slept with....Gennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, Monica Luwensky, Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey were all the ugliest woman on Earth. Elizabeth Hurley is beautiful. Clinton on diddles with the fugly woman so I don’t believe this story at all.

House leadership to allow clean Debt Limit deal.

Boehner - still working against party revolt - follows up backing down on immigration reform with backing down on threatening debt ceiling default. Because 2014 might be good for the GOP, if no one rocks the boat at all.

As primary season approaches, Freepers always go full hate-on-the-GOPe mode. Now there is actual tension between the purists and pragmatists in the party, so they're extra furious at people trying to get stuff done.

So they don't have many places to go about this debt ceiling thing. They all expected this, and can't really hate Boehner any more at the moment....

Graewoulf has got to know what he said there...

The voters in Ohio are simply overjoyed that the US House RINO Members have loyally continued to keep in place a weak, cowardly, permissive, doormat Speaker who has ALWAYS caved in to Obama.

Boehner’s Speakership is safe, as our House RINOs just love to Cave In to Commies, Socialists, Democrats, and especially to Obama.

Oops, I feel a “Boehner” coming on! Please pass the Kleenex! Sob!

PowderMonkey totally called this!

Unexpected! Not. Voting tonight. Take a look at the weather forecast for D.C. Every denizen of Capital Hill will be "unavailable for comment" as they use the in the ensuing snow storm to scurry for cover. Sickening cowardice and dereliction of duty on display.

eCSMaster has gone for the purity of single-issue rage.

It's not Boehner's fault.

It's no Republican's fault.

It's solely the fault of the media.

They control almost all of the information-dispensing process in this country. No matter what happens, they will find a way to fault Conservatives and aid Liberals.

Turds in the media sit and laugh at us conservatives because all we're doing is causing strife within our own.

We have to find some way to get the public to realize that the cause of all their problems is the media, and their acting as cheerleaders for the Left.

SADMILLIE has cut thinking out of her voting entirely!

I agree. The republicrats will lose again. They stand for nothing!! They capitulate at the hint of media prodding. 4 million of us stayed home with that socialist Romney on the ticket— you can count that as doubling in ‘16. Jeb Bush my foot.I vote Tea Party ONLY now— no more wasting my vote on people I hate.

Howie66 wants you to vote GOP, for all the dead troops.

Sitting out any and all elections is EXACTLY what the GOP Establishment and the RAT Party/CP-USA want to see happen.

For Pete’s Sake, don’t you understand that this is EXACTLY how we have gotten to this point?

Before you follow through on this idea, take a little time and go to your nearest Veterans Cemetery and/or VA Hospital and think about what you are proposing and why.

I can’t think of a single one of US who have served this country did so, just to see it turn into a Third World Communist Sh*thole.

I hope and pray that you think real hard on this. Our future depends on it.

Semper Fi.

brickdds has a great plan:

This may sound a bit kooky, but if Boner survives the primary would there be enough TEA Party republicans who if they voted for the democrat in the election this November, could manage to pull away just enough votes for boner to lose?
Although they would lose a congressional seat (1 of 435), we would be rid of his ass. And it would give other rinos pause when they consider voting against our country’s interests.

Obama says Fox News's O'Reilly 'absolutely' unfair in extended interview

More Superb Owl madness, though this kind of pettiness isn't exactly a breaking story. FOX News is unfair to Obama? Freepers sense weakness! A chance for schoolyard bullying, just to feel good, Freeper-style.

sevinufnine has low standards for a reign of terror:

What’s unfair is the hell that man has put the country through during his reign of terror in the White House. Now THAT is what’s unfair. Not having to face the truth in front of an audience that likely didn’t vote for your sorry carcass in the first place!

I hope SandRat is actually in first grade.

Cry BABY in Dirty Diapers

DeaconRed does not care for objectivity here:

For once I agree with the Bafoon.
Of course Bill was unfair.
That is the only way to treat a GD Liar.

bmwcyle really wanted more frothing rage:

Fox was unfair. BOR did not go far enough for America.

liberalh8ter thinks Obama went to far when he had FOX news all executed:

In Obama’s America, asking questions that might embarrass der fuhrer is unfair. One must not stray from the propaganda ministry's authorized questions.

Mouton wants Obama tortured:

First off, I’d love to see this guy in the witness chair being questioned by Joe McCarthy.

However, even that would probably not be enough to get this evil slab of jello pinned down. Perhaps an inquisition by Torquemata would be needed.

ChildOfThe60s knows who the real victims are:

Pretty thin skin for a Chicago tough guy in DC. It must be difficult for him to talk to someone that is not bowing to him.

Imagine if the press treated him like a Republican. He’d go catatonic.

Mouton does not approve of Obama's imprecise nomenclature:

One thing about his answers to BOR that caught me was the most brillient mind on the planet refers to the Fox News Network as “your TV station.” In other words, just like I surmised, the technocolor 3D mind of Obamoan is simple not complex, it has the depth of a kiddie pool verses an ocean.

OpusatFR isn't sure when Obama won't be President anymore.

Little pity-party for The Won?

How much longer do we have endure this whiny tyrant?

It’s bad enough dealing with his diktats, but the constant whining is too much.

Man up, or let the Mooch take over. She’d be a REAL tyrant.

chajin heard Obama call Nixon liberal, and lays out the political landscape:

The President is half-right. Nixon was one of most liberal Presidents by his actions, such as repealing Bretton Woods, starting the EPA, and wage/price controls. Obama, however, has never been a liberal; he is a postmodern revolutionary, who would have to move miles to the right to be liberal in the mold of LBJ, HHH, RFK, or Carter.

postmodern revolutionaries are do things that make you question what a revolution really is...

Upcoming NFL draft pick comes out as gay

Freepers are trying to stave of resignation about the rapid acceptance of homosexuality, but all they really have is lamenting what America has become, AIDS, and 'Obama is gay haw haw.' Not even pedophilia. Watch Freepers try for outrage, and end up with just pettiness.

montag813 knows there are no Christians in the NFL.

Whew! Good thing he didn’t come out as something REALLY controversial, like a CHRISTIAN!

Buttsex will always be a felony to Secret Agent Man

criminals of all kinds playing in the nfl these days.

Dude's tagline: (Gone Galt; Not averse to Going Bronson.)

petitfour explains they gayness:

He was number seven of eight children, primarily raised by his mother. He spent time with another family though I don’t know if they were family or a foster family. He has a few siblings in prison. A few are dead. Sounds like a recipe for confusion. I hope he will seek God at some point.

ExCTCitizen has decided Football is useless:

So...what? Who are you?? Just a nobody playing something that owners will pay millions to you, for what?? Curing Cancer?? No playing football...

Mr Sam, most don't give a F about you... I never heard of you

veritas2002 blames technology, and want's gays to commit suicide..I think. He's not super clear:

Why should we care whether people commit suicide or not? Shouldn’t people be allowed to do with their lives exactly what they want to?

The answer to this question, as well as why it matters whether two males try to act as if they are married, have basically to do with what man’s purpose in life is. Basic questions about the meaning of life have eluded modern man to his own peril. Technological man is a slave to his machines and so misses essential questions - again to his own peril. Do you not think there are consequences when man does not know who he is?

Howie66 expects gay affirmative action:

Okay. So the dude is Gay. I suppose this means that he’s supposed to the the Number One Overall pick in the draft and he deserves to be given a contract that is equal to the highest paid player in the NFL, while being named as the 2014 NFL Player of the Year and League MVP?

Figment is sure fear of AIDS will make this guy incredible on the field:

I could see a quarterback going, “Here, just have the ball just don’t touch me.

They should make him wear special gloves so that he doesn’t scratch someone and give them AIDS

max americana also makes excuses for why gay athleticism doesn't mean manliness:

MG…the dude’s a beast….had a better season than Jadaveon this year.

maybe because just like any fag, he wanted to molest them on the field?

Army Air Corps goes with the Obama is gay joke:

Reggie's got competition.....

President Tinky Wink shall call him to, uh, congratulate him. Personally.

basalt - the NFL: The Ultimate Prize.

well..here it comes..the “canary in a coal mine” for the leftists. Their “test” case to attack and conquer the last bastion of ‘maleness” in this country..professional sports, with the N.F.L. being the ultimate prize. They already conquered the United States military. The media will just go wild with this. Thank God I’m not in my twenties...this nations soul is lost...ugh.

Chode knows liberals!

the RATS HATE football... so anything to damage the sport, especially injecting faggots into the mix is a win win for them

GeronL knows the left HATES the idea of gender fluidity!

if he decides at some point he isn’t gay, the left will make him an object of pure hate

twister881 - AIDS and Satan.

Satan and his allies are in an all-out war against humankind. Will humankind wake up, strap on the armor, and fight back?

Oh, and Michael Sam is an HIV / AIDS patient in waiting, if it hasn't already happened. MRSA a big problem in football locker rooms. The sport with many more cuts, abrasions, open wounds than others. Unfortunately, some NFL team will take the sex pervert. None should.
