Umm, guy you attacked me. If you want to attack anyone, try Phyllis Schlafly. Nah I ain’t hiding behind her. I think I’ve done ok defending my pov. But I posted this article and said what I said. But its Mrs Schafly’s article. Mrs Schafly is the first on this thread to say and I quote “Republicans allowed a bill that carries his name, among nine others, to pass the Senate Foreign Relations Committee by voice vote last week – without any hearings. That means there was no roll-call vote so no member can be held accountable. The same bill passed the House by voice vote last year.” She pointed a finger at republicans. In case you are stupid, Mrs Schlafly almost single handedly stopped the ERA ammendment from passing. Then as now she spotted an egregious bill that everyone thought was warm and cuddly including republicans and shouted it out of existence. Now she IS aiming her ire at republicans just as she did almost 30 years ago. She wasnt talking to dems(who were all for ERA) back then and she isnt talking to dems now. She is attacking republicans as rightfully she should. I agree with her.

I’m no fan of Schlafly. Sometimes she’s right, but usually she doesn’t express it in a way that is helpful. She’s a bomb-thrower.

You threw a bomb on her side with your first comment on this thread.

It wasn’t helpful. It doesn’t help conservatives to play the theme that Republicans are the enemy.

I will never argue that Republicans are perfect because they never will be, and each particular politician has to be judged on his or her own positions and not the party label.

But scathing attacks on all politicians within a particular party is mindless. It ignores the reality of the individual and is meant only to disparage everyone. Schlafly is famous for this.

You agree with attacking Republicans. You just said so.

A more intelligent approach would be to attack specific Republicans that you disagree with and then help to replace them.

Can you do that? Phyllis can’t.
