That man....flaws yes....saved Chile from a Che style future
You, and all republiCratic sycophants like you, make one gargantuan mistake. Party butt kissers like you presume everyone simply HAS TO BE either a democrat or a republiCrat. I am neither! I am a Conservative. So, YOUR party has to convince me that I should vote for them. THEY HAVE NOT!
Indeed. When your country has been taken over by the commies, you need Gus!
However, going the coup route entails a serious risk: you've got to trust the guy wearing the sunglasses.
Neither am I. But I am also smart enough to consider the order of battle when voting, and, if voting for my real favorite party would only serve to elect the 'Rats instead, then I vote GOP!
What happened was like watching someone in a race that you considered to be somewhat of a friend turn and slap your momma, spit in her face, shove her to the ground then turn and walk away with victorious hands held high in the air. Don't think for a second that I am joking.
I will never again support Thad Cochran for anything, not in this lifetime. I hope to see him politically BURN between now and November!
I got the robocall that implied if I think $17T in debt is unsustainable I need to run right down and join my local KKK chapter.
Sorry. It IS unsustainable. Promising this ‘new demographic’ all sorts of freebies to get their votes doesn’t make it sustainable...
And besides, I can’t vote for a man living in open adultery with another woman. No can do.
While his wife lays in a nursing home 1000 miles away. Traitors in public life and traitors in private life as well.
As I said above, we need to take the House and Senate. Then we take on the GOP-e, hopefully with improved numbers, so that, for example, Mitch McConnell can be replaced as Majority Leader. The fact remains, that goal will be achieved more easily with Mitch McConnell and Thad Cochran in the Senate than with Alison Grimes and Travis Childers. And, if we fail to take the Senate, then it's irrelevant anyway: Dingy Harry stays Majority Leader. That's just how it works. Get over it.
If you insist on purity, you are likely to end up with nothing. As Ronald Reagan said,
Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.
And if you think making the country continue to suffer under liberalism will magically cause the voters to return conservatives to power, think again! It won't. It will just allow the 'Rats to entrench the welfare state ever more securely. Just look at Argentina!
