That horse is at the glue factory! I hold the Republican congress and Republican brand more in contempt than the Democrats and that took some doing considering the pure evil that the Democrat party promotes.

The Republican party stands for absolutely nothing at this point. They can’t claim they want obamacare repealed anymore. They can’t claim they are the party of tax cuts anymore. They can’t claim they are the party of small government anymore. What do they stand for? Listen, shhh, listen for it, that faint echo out there, the echo of the Democrat mantra is what they stand for.

McInsane, McWeasal, the Little S*&^ Ryan, CornFlakes, Corkhole, they gather themselves, work themselves into an anti-Trump, anti-conservative frenzy and with all their might they let out a wail for the Democrat parties wishes and with their limited testosterone you hear a faint echo from these contemptible creatures.

I'm starting to get a sense that the GOP establishment is at war with their own supporters.

If the voters of Alabama select Judge Moore, even after this despicable smear campaign against him I don't see how that choice cannot be respected.

Doing so will manifest their opposition to the voice of the people of Alabama.

Like they care.

I was in Mobile the day Chuck Berry died in March. Will be back there in January. Definitely MAGA country there.

Nothing says that Moore will have to caucus with the Republicans. I mean, he can still vote for President Trump’s agenda while refusing to join a caucus that makes Mitch McConnell its leader. It seems to me that it would only take 2 GOP Senators (Moore and one more) doing that to put a ton of pressure on the party to pick a new leader.

The RINOs are caucusing with the Dems as it is. Voting for Trump’s agenda is going to be Moore’s agenda FWICS.

Thanks - I donate monthly - usually the 1st of each month - and "urge" others to do so.

Not on a auto-donate schedule because if something happens to me, I don't want the wife to have to worry about hunting down and canceling things ...she's a solid conservative but doesn't engage in FR.

If everyone that claimed to be a conservative would act like one and carry their fair share, we wouldn't need to keep prodding and poking and FR would not have to worry about funding.

well..... thanks for the donations. I agree. I’ve been sprinkling a few “sweet” comments on threads such as don’t be a turkey.. yikes.

FR has been invaded by some not so nice lefties.. but we can spot them a mile away.

Have a great day!!

I'm more of a blunt tool. Lots of FReepers seem to not practice what the claim to preach. Looks like this FReepathon has been going better than some in the past though - we're having some effect on those who believe what they preach but are a bit balky when it comes to investing themselves in those beliefs...

Let’s just hope he wins, then the RINO’s can deal with it.

They are right about Moore doing damage to the GOP brand. It’s the same damage Trump did:

The GOP loses. The are the Washington Generals of leadership. The role they played in the big farce in DC is that they appear to fight hard, then they lose ‘with dignity’, to preserve the decorum of the institution.

Winning and the GOP brand are like chocolate and mayonnaise.

The GOP brand is all about losing convincingly. Everything about their apparatus is geared to that end.

Most of us know that as the Uniparty Brand.
