Marco Rubio: Let’s dispel with this notion that Barack Obama doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows exactly what he’s doing.”

Jeb Bush: “My pledge to you: When I’m president I will not blame Barack Obama for a single thing,” he told listeners at the Nashua Country Club in Nashua, N.H. “The day that I’m sworn into office, I’m on watch — whatever it is.”

Sorry Jeb!, this doesn’t make it.  Much of the malaise of the country is due directly to Obama’s policies that have festered for the last 7 years and for the last two (and the remaining one), he’s only stepped harder on the accelerator in transforming America for the worst.

Hello Friend,

Tomorrow we in NH have the privilege to cast our votes in the first in the nation primary. I hope you will join me in voting for Senator Ted Cruz. I believe Ted Cruz has the ability to lead our country back to traditional conservative values in the way that Reagan did after the disastrous Carter years.

Early in the primary process I had the opportunity to hear and/or meet many of the republican candidates. Last summer I threw my enthusiastic support behind the man who most distinguished himself as a genuine conservative with proven backbone to take on the establishment in both parties.

Key factors in my decision were:

• BACKBONE – as a freshman senator in DC he stood up for the conservatives values he was elected to represent even when he had to stand against the establishment leadership of his own party. HE WILL STAND FOR THE VALUES HE BELIEVES IN. He has proven that!
• CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE – as a constitutional lawyer, as a Texas Solicitor General, as a senator and as a candidate he has clearly articulated constitutional values that I believe in and that our nation was founded on.

It is First in the Nation Primary Day in New Hampshire. Tomorrow the phone will ring less, the mailbox will not runneth over with shiny circus-like campaign literature, and the digital froth in my email, well…this morning I woke to this from NHRebellion:

BREAKING NEWS: Jeb Bush calls for Overturning Citizens United to stop Super PAC spending

Did you spit your coffee on your keyboard? Sorry about that.

The not so breaking news is that NHRebellion is a front for another item on the progressive punch-list, but this? It’s a punch line.

The last couple of election cycles, the ‘Grok as been rather stingy with endorsements. We decided that we would raise our bar high and no longer do the “least worst” that we did in some cases in the past.  We decided that it was no longer sufficient that an “R” followed someone’s name.  It is about Principle and, if at all possible, to look at their actions.  After all, winning is merely a precursor; what is most important is what is done afterwards. Our evaluation started.

“The Nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools.” – Thucydides

Don’t you always love how anti-gun politicians point to the European Union as examples of how gun laws in these United States should be? “Well, in Europe…” or, “In Australia…” the diatribe always begins. Then, when they dig into the comparisons, its always about, “gun deaths.” Never about the level of other kinds of violent crime, resulting in death or serious injury that Europe experiences on an annual basis. European nations are somehow the shining example of how gun laws for America ought to be. The biggest flaw in that narrative is that none of those European countries have anything that even remotely resembles this nation’s second amendment. Anti-gun libs never address that simple morsel…unless it is to get rid of it.

Being a Clinton supporter means never having to say you’re sorry…for what Bill Clinton has done to women. You don’t have to say you’re sorry for anything Hillary did either, which works out great because while there is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women, there is a special place in the White House for the woman who did not help the women whom Bill Clinton put through hell.

And according to Madeline Albright, if you don’t help get that woman in to the White House, there is a special place in hell for you, young lady.

So much for modern feminism as a bastion for the ‘Choice’ argument.
