If you lived in Florida or NC and voted for Goode (same mathematical effect as not voting), it would have, yes. ;-D
As for Flake, the evidence I offered that it was better to have him in there than the alternative is incontrovertible. Replace a few ‘RINOs’ you don’t like with rats and Merrick Garland would be on the Supreme Court.
I’d have voted for Goode over evil any day of the week in any state. Zero and Willard are evil, period, both serving the same god (and it ain’t mine).
The point being, the Gee-oh-Pee needs to stop nominating scum and vomitus. I will not vote for anything or anyone simply because they have an “R” after their name. It’s mindless. But that’s why I’m a Constitutional Conservative and NOT a Republican. I upped my standards, up yours.
I guess I’m a Spock and you are a McCoy. My only standard is to make the best logical choice available to me and not to fret about things outside of my control, like the past. Handing the Supreme Court to the left to “teach gee opie a lesson” is what’s mindless from my POV.
And when one party is devoted to evil, I certainly and proudly assert membership in the other. When your house is on fire you side with the fireman, even if they are all rapists. My standard is not to burn to death.
I’d say it’s illogical to vote for individuals who won’t support the Conservative agenda. 99.99% of Democrats won’t, so why vote for RINOs who are just as hostile and as damaging, and cause even worse harm at the next election ? Definitely not logical.
There are a lot of women, as an example, who would prefer death to being raped.
Jeff Flake supported the agenda of cutting taxes (including the Obamacare mandadate) and nuking the fillibuster to confirm Neil Gorsuch.
Flake’s meaningless whining is OBVIOUSLY NOT anywhere near “as hostile and as damaging” as Carmona’s votes would have been, I don’t see how you can possibly argue otherwise. Go to the previous Senate, replace 4 Republicans you wouldn’t support with rats and MERRICK GARLAND IS ON THE SUPREME COURT.
“There are a lot of women, as an example, who would prefer death to being raped.”
Haha, well played, to continue the analogy, ask one who’s on fire with her skin sloughing off her body and see what she says then cause I ain’t talking about no painless death. The democrats pour gasoline on the Constitution every time they are in power, the ***ker is tough to burn but enough heat and eventually the country goes up in smoke. A lib majority Supreme Court would be DEVASTATING.
Ever notice how there are almost no Democrats actively working to sabotage their party and help the Conservative/GOP agenda ? It’s because they don’t put up with that crap and treachery. Yet we’re expected to put up with that very thing with so many Republicans. Flake had a rotten smell way back when he was in the House, and he’s not the only one.
My point is that none of these guys should make it past a primary to begin with. Flake ? These are nutters who are meatpuppets for the Deep State and Establishment. Sometimes they give away their treachery ahead of time (him, Corker, Lamar!, et al). Sometimes they don’t show their true colors until after (Sasse). But the point is that this party and the base, which is more important, should go balls to the walls to excise the Deep State cancer from the party rather than continue to put up with this crap, their deceit, and having to babysit them through every vote and all the drama that flows through them.
If it means we have to put up with some Democrat cretin because the GOP lacks the maturity and sanity to nominate a grown-up who isn’t a backstabbing weasel, that’s what will have to be. But what I am done with is ratifying such a set of choices. Frankly, the way the party behaves, I think they’d be happier with a Democrat victor than an actual Conservative. Removing that element is paramount.
Keeping liberals off the Supreme Court is “paramount”. If that means hearing a few weak sisters (who as pointed out, voted correctly) whine then so be THAT.
I can’t “put up” with The Supreme Court neutering the 2nd amendment, ect ect
More than a few weak sisters. More than half the f’ing Senate caucus is rotten to the core, and the longer many of them stay, the worse they get. There’s probably only about 6 or so whom I’d classify as remotely reliable. That kind of political treachery in opposition to the base is unimaginable, and only by a miracle does the GOP still have a majority that it doesn’t deserve (which ought to be much, much larger — at least 60, with reliable and principled members).
So, about 80 Senate rats? That sounds grand, that would be more than enough to override vetos not to mention amend the constitution or remove an impeached President. ALL 52 (at the time now 51 thanks ROY) RINO shiiteheads voted to advance the Gorsuch nomination, all of them. The committee majority created by having the Senate majority blocked Garland for a year. But that’s not reliable ENOUGH, better a dem supermajority?
“Deserve”? What does “deserve” have to do with anything? *I* don’t deserve to have democrats raise my taxes and destroy my rights!
And proof of how bad off the GOP is can be demonstrated by the fact that there are names like Flake/McCain/Graham/McConnell, etc., associated with the Party.
Yea, if it is a known fact, on Election day morn, who will win a particular election ... then the point of the ballot is mute. Then it is reasonable to vote for the candidate that I most support, going forward into the future.
Not true where the race is too close to call
Moot, not mute.
How did the storm treat you?
MUTE ! LOL!
RAIN, Forest got pruning of dead branches
