Andres Oppenheimer says Ted Cruz bid is good news for Democrats

  Did the women's vote make them more conservative?

[Xavier_Onassis]

I don't know.  I have not lived in Switzerland. It is a pretty insular culture.
I have read a couple of books on it, but I don't think the women voting changed much of anything.

That must be a disappointment to suffragettes.

Cruz will probably peak in Iowa and then his support like that of Santorum and Huckabee, will fall away The Country Club Republicans are the ones with the money.

You underestimate the power of the Anti-Obama vote. 

[Xavier_Onassis]

One quarter of the Republicans in Iowa might show up. Big deal!

Cruz might actually win the Iowa caucus. Just like Santorum and Huckabee. And with the same results.

"I believe that God is not through with America yet."

What sort of theological nonsense is that? It is one weird thought from the dork that sounds like a chicken.

It makes me wonder what countries, if any, God is actually done with.
And what the Hell does this have to do with a presidential primary? Does Cruz think God tells people how to vote?

[sirs]

Not referring to Iowa or even Cruz

[Xavier_Onassis]

Whaaaaa...

You are making even less sense than Cruz. And he is nuts.

...as in whomever the GOP nominee is, there's going to be a massive contigent of voters who will vote for him/her, solely on sending a referendum message to the Democrat party.  Much like Obama running as the anti-Bush, even though he wasn't on the ballot.

It is a well proven fact that it is easier to get people of a traditional mindset to vote AGAINST a candidate out of hate and fear than FOR another out of admiration and hope for the future.

You are hoping for hate to get us stuck with a negative moron for a leader.

It worked last time!

Sorry, but PBS is running a documentary on cancer that is many times more exciting that trading useless jabs with you guys.

I will NEVER vote for any goddamned Republican. The party sucks and has no clue. Has had no clues since Herbert Hoover. And his clues were wrong.

Thanks for the time!

Couldn't have encapsulated the Obama vs Bush campaign, any better.  Bravo

The documentary was excellent, as all of Ken Burns documentaries have been.

There have been huge advances in the treatment of cancer since the 1970's, when it took my mother.

It is a 3 part series, and like all PBS documentaries will be on their website for a good while. Tonight's segment will discuss the current state of cancer treatment. I highy recommend it. TV without commercials is a true delight.
