Huckabee calls on Ryan to prevent entry of Syrian refugees, or to step down

Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/mike-huckabee-paul-ryan-syria-215934#ixzz3rigjmgn3

Ryan has to regret taking that job. Huck is so desperate for attention.

No sympathy - he went in with his eyes open.

No sympathy - he went in with his eyes open.

He had to know what he was getting into; any support for him was always tepid at best. Ryan isn't going to respond to Presidential candidates (if that's what we're calling Huckabee), but I also can't think he's too worried about what a nut like Huck thinks.

Kidding aside Jindal had measureable Iowa support - as much as 5%. I think Cruz is a logical landing spot for them.

Jindal

"This is not my time"

[CurlyNight]

I'm sure him realizing what a hypocrite he is saying no to Syrian refugees in his state when he was a refugee himself had no bearing on his pulling out.

Funny how Christie says he would have the police officers' back when he won't negotiate their pension. Actually he did, then reneged.

More than 2,000 police union members rally in Trenton for pay raises, sick leaveLaw enforcement officers say Gov. Christie has not addressed their contracts.

Well for one, he's reneged on their pension plan. I believe this protest also involved corrections officers that aren't receiving benefits for injuries on the job.

Otherwise, ask the 2000 LEO's protesting him.

[QuizGuy66]

Ben Carson: My plan to defeat the Islamic State

1) I am not convinced that Ben Carson wrote any of this. I'm only half-convinced that he's read any of it.

2) I'd like to see a reporter do follow up questions about the items in this editorial. Seriously.

3) An early sentence has it backwards in that asserts that Daesh (ISIS - I like calling the jerks by the name they don't like) is not a sovereign in the territorial sense. This is false - they're entire standing is on their assertion of being a caliphate. No territory, no legitimacy among those who would support their aims.

Anyway I think this is the end of Carson, he won't be able to fake it successfully enough on this to survive IMO.

Cruz is going to beat Rubio like a drum over stuff like this:

-QG

Of all the candidates right now whose voters isn't Cruz the likely landing point?

 

[QuizGuy66]

Kasich and Christie supporters aren't sure bets to land on Cruz.

Cruz's strategy of mostly not attacking other candidates is well suited to the Iowa caucuses where horse-trading is common and where people are forced to switch alliances if their first choice doesn't meet viability threshholds at their caucus location. It's easier to sell a neighbor on a switch to Cruz if Cruz hasn't attacked that person's candidate.

You know....if the GOP isn't careful, they are going to piss off a lot of Christians with this nonsense about the refuges. Perhaps this is happening at the perfect time. it'd be the last swing of the axe to sever the tie that binds. Now, if only we could get some movement on the dem side to move away from the establishment SSDD politicians. That'd be a wonderful step in the right direction.

I see the whole right wing "only let in Christians" as being something like the gatekeeper at the bridge of death in the Holy Grail.

Yeah, if someone wanted to commit an atrocity, they would *never* lie about their religion to get into a country. The simplemindedness and unconstitutionality of the pandering ideas promoted by these jackwagons should disqualify them from being dogcatcher, let alone commander in chief.
