    What does abortion have to do with the 1st and 2nd Amendments?

    Well you see, it's simple. We need the 1st amendment so that we can legally scream about the fetal genocide being conducted at Planned Parenthood clinics across the country and we need the 2nd amendment to make sure that mentally unstable citizens are able to legally purchase firearms in order to bring about change at said Planned Parenthood clinics.

    Nothing, but they are trying to loosely tie it in with the fact that the new president will probably have 2 SC justices to nominate.

    Hold on to your hats, people. In the latest NBC/WSJ national poll, Ted Cruz has taken the lead over Donald Trump.

    NBC/WSJ Poll (National): Cruz 28, Trump 26, Rubio 17, Kasich 11, Carson 10, Bush 4

    Republican pollster Bill McInturff states in the article that this could signal being "right on top of a shift in the campaign." Of course this is just one poll. But one poll is also how it starts. Stay tuned....

    Here is Ted Cruz at the CNN Town Hall last night, for anyone who is open to hearing Ted Cruz speak to the issues unfiltered and largely without interruption.

    I watched this on YouTube and I am surprised how well done it was by Anderson Cooper and CNN.

    Especially in the general election - I can't think of a bigger hot-button issue.

    If you spend too much snark time, you will miss it when Cruz makes his move and (double whammy) you will not be watching out.

    Wall Street asked 400 people.

    Meanwhile Trump lead in more recent polls by an average of 16-20%

    It's obvious that was an outlier.

    I'm sure the Bundy's and their idiot followers would be happy to rustle up support for your cause from the confines of federal prison.

    Well, get it back on and tighten your seat belt. It looks like we may be in for a wild ride.

    The poll wasn't actually conducted by WSJ/NBC. It was conducted by public opinion strategies who are a PR firm.

    Wow... I guess Trump was right on this one. Cruz is so desperate he's trying to astroturf the polls. :eek:

    In more upstanding citizen Cruz news: his campaign has been using a (poorly) photoshopped picture of Rubio shaking hands with Obama.

    http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/18/politics/marco-rubio-ted-cruz-obama-photo-trade/index.html

    Why can't the Cruz camp run honestly for just, like, one full week? What would this "truth doesn't matter" approach mean for a POTUS?

    And as usual, conservative photochops are turrrible:
