Ted Cruz Announces

[Traymark]

 I vote for the moderate republicans because we've got enough batshit crazy far right legislators running this state into the toilet.

Since you brought it up,
Let's look at the stats

I notice Kansas wasn't in the top 5.  Neither was Louisiana.  And I'm not sure of the criteria they used, but any list of worst run states that didn't include Mississippi has to be using some pretty funky criteria.  
 
Last I checked, Glen Beck doesn't live in Kansas.  Even REPUBLICANS are having a LOT of second thoughts about the tax cuts that were supposed to be "a shot of adrenaline" for Kansas.  It's been 4 years....the adrenaline still hasn't kicked in.  We are $54 million behind in tax receipts so far this year.  There is talk of not funding the state pension fund this year, they are moving money out of the highway fund, and the courts ordered that they had to do something about school funding.  Something about the plan they had being "unconstitutional" (state constitution).   And in an attempt to boost the revenues, Brownback that the republicans pulled a "Cruz" maneuver...raised the sales tax by .5%  It's not working.  
 
300,000 Kansas had their state income tax cut to zero (I wasn't one of them...I'm middle class) I got a 1.5% tax cut...but I the only deductions I can claim are 50% of my mortgage interest and property taxes and my charitable cash contributions.  About half what I was allowed to deduct on my federal return.  I'm paying more in taxes with my cut than I was before them.  
 
And Cruz wants to take this on a national scale....he'll kill the country.  He's counting on money trickling in, but to make up the shortfall he will encounter - especially with adding $220 billion to the defense budget the first year, he'll need it to flood in with a fire hose.

Therein lies why this election is a lose/lose regardless of who wins.  If HIllary wins, Congress will do nothing but Benghazi investigation after email investigation.  Rump and Cruz have both said that they would prosecute Hillary if they are elected.  So the country just sits.  Since it's Obama's last term, and he's not going to ever gain the respect of the right, then he holds the key to the future of the country....regardless of who wins, pardon Hillary.  Force the country to get away from focusing on scandals and addressing things like, oh...the economy, the war, the loss of jobs, the immigration problem.  I know all that pales in comparison to tarring Hillary, but it's about the only thing that seems of importance.  But you might be careful what you wish for....Trump has all but declared Bush and Cheney to be guilty of war crimes....he might go after them as well.

Really? Exactly what has BaRack done besides try to rule like a King!
What exactly has he done about the economy, the war, the loss of jobs, the immigration problem.

The only thing BaRack has done, besides divide this country more than any other POTUS, is force people to buy healthcare they don't want and give Iran the keys to the kingdom, both of which will end in disasters!

Tell me....compared to what the country was like in 2008, what are some specific things that impact you personally that have changed since then?
 
And...you predict that the Iran deal will end in disaster....do you think that "making sand glow" in the middle east will work out any BETTER for us or Israel?  You do realize that when the first sands of the middle east start glowing on Rafaels plan for dealing with problems in the middle east, Israel is going to be the first target of retaliation.  
 
It's funny....you all worry about what Iran MIGHT do, but support a guy who proposes to do....the same exact thing except with a different country name on it.  Let me ask you....should we blow Iran off the map?  Carpet bombing and glowing sand seems to indicate that the answer is a resounding "yes".  But the REASON we feel they need to be blown off the map is because Iran said Israel should be blown off the map.  How does a Christian reconcile that line of thinking....."They said it first" is a rather childish way to conduct foreign policy.  And Luke 6:31 says "Do unto others AS you would have them do to you"....not BEFORE they do unto you.

Can you tell us how many months in a row that there has been a growth in jobs? We can certainly discuss the /kinds/ of jobs being added vs. what you and I might prefer, but that's different from "job loss."

Like it or not, when it comes to adding jobs, he's on a helluva roll...

Same story with the stock market and gas prices too.

Oh, and Bin Laden was "ended" on his watch as well...

KC,
too easy,
Obamacare has negatively impacted all of us in very profound ways.
The cost of healthcare has gone thru the roof for those of us with jobs, to pay for all those legal and illegally that don't have any.

The group think being peddled by Bernie, Hillary, Obama, that healthcare is a right is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
It's not a right, it's a commodity.
I have the same right to free speech as Bill Gates,
I don't have the right to have the same kind of house Bill Gates has, commodity.
If healthcare is a right, then so is food, should be free food for everyone, can't have health without food.
If healthcare is a human right then all Doctors and Nurses are now indentured servants.
We have a right, protected by the 2nd Amendment to keep and bare arms, everyone should then be issued firearms by the Government, it's a right after all.

There ar many other things O has done that has and will affect us all for many years to come, not the least of which are the numerous ultra liberal left wing Federal Judges he's appointed throughout the country.

Last time I checked, it was our Navy Seals pulling the trigger on BL.

You know , it's amazing, I remember the Reagan years, massive explosion of jobs, like we've never seen since, and every Thanksgiving and Christmas, the national news shows would highlight the soup lines for the homeless.

It's amazing how we no longer have homeless or soup lines.

Can you tell us how many months the Jobs participation rate has grown as well?
 
Can you tell us how many months food stamps participation has grown as well?
 
How does that square with jobs being added? How is that even possible?
 
You're being lied to and you blindly accept it.

CMHGSE--

I'm only on my 2nd cup of coffee, so please tell me that's sarcasm...

Part time and government don't count.
 
Funny, for this glorious economy on a roll, there sure are one heckuva lot of empty office space available lately.
 
Obama urged OPEC to over supply?
 
So were four lives in Benghazi.

Food stamps for everyone  and forever unemployment kept TV cameras from showing the depression they camouflaged.

Is Obamacare responsible for your speeding tickets?

How many times do you need to hear the truth before you accept it?
Only reason they show a miniscule jump in job growth is because of the thousands who are fed up and have completely given up looking for a job!

I don't support lifting sanctions against a nation KNOWN to support Islamic Terrorism.
Apparently, you don't have a problem with it.

You cited Obamacare, then went off on Hillary an Bernie, then concluded with the ever poplar "many things".   Outside Obamacare, what are some of the "many things" that have negatively impacted you.  I'll give you a pass on how your retirement 401K has done.
