Let me make sure I'm following. My own personal view can't be that one is a conundrum if you don't think he's a conundrum. Let me write that down so I remember that.

 

He's a conundrum to many. He's not to you. Outstanding. Unlike you who likes to put people into silos I've never said I was a libertarian. I'm not sure why that's so important but I don want to congratulate you for being a REAL LIBERTARIAN. I'm sure your medal is worn proudly.

Thank you very much, Clyde. I am a proud libertarian. There is no need for me to pretend otherwise. You will find my positions consistent and you will see me criticize Republicans almost as much as I criticize our incompetent president. This is a political forum, there is nothing wrong with clearly stating one's political beliefs here.

Never said there was. You implied with your "I'm a real libertarian" that a)that's important and b)if you're not then your views do not count. My suggestion to you, since you're one of the biggest offenders, is to quit trying to place someone in a silo. It's not productive.

No clue what broken link you're talking about. Went back to the thread. First link I posted that you kept ignoring was in post #43. Still works.

For the record, you pointed out the broken link to me, jumping to the conclusion that Ted Cruz had taken down an article that was there, but you have "no clue what broken link" I am talking about. People with such short memories make political discussions difficult. Fortunately for you, my memory is pretty good and I have the patience to refresh your memory.

Again I'll ask: Do you believe he said that the govt wants to take away golf courses and paved roads? They say they got it from his website which, conveniently for you andMr Cruz

, has had that link taken down

.

The link is no longer broken but it does not open the article from which the quote was supposedly taken. Unlike you, I will make no assumption about whether ThinkProgress or Ted Cruz's staff tinkered with the link.

Come on. I said that the original link was bad. Pointed you to a link that QUOTED him - they didn't give an opinion - they QUOTED him. You kept trying to discredit the source when they directly QUOTED him. You're just getting silly now.

I made no such implication. If you are in a silo, then you got there on your own.

You said that the link "still works." It was clearly broken before and you even commented that it was broken after you linked to the article. What is silly is repeatedly linking to ThinkProgress opinions and pretending that they are newsworthy. If you want to be taken seriously, then link to reputable news sources. Does it surprise you that a far left wing website funded by George Soros defends George Soros from Cruz's attacks?

 

You failed to mention the IRS also "targeted" progressive/liberal groups.

 

 

Come on. Is it targeting when they still approve 100% of the progressive/liberal groups and only 46% of the 'conservative' groups?

 

That was failed smoke screen and basically a lie. Lets be honest about that.

 

NPR captures it well:

Extremists from all political groups get the airtime and coverage. Nothing new.

 

For those that think the TEA Party is an out-of-touch bomb-shelter-living organization this guy does nothing to change their opinions.

 

The Rep didn't help the cause either by not discouraging him from using such talk. If she is a member of the TEA Party (not sure if she is) then she needs to help the party out by saying that this discourse is not what the party stands for and it's not what they're about.

This is the equivalent of some who throw out the "give me my free cell phone" videos when trying to generalize what the Ds stand for.

 

He didn't say he was with the tea party. I know we all assume he is Clyde, but for someone that likes to state facts, you are simply assuming he speaks for the tea party. For all we know he could of been in the restaraunt to eat and decided to chime in. Just sayin
