Again, you don't know me so kindly keep the insults to yourself.
Since the theme of the thread is "lessons learned" let this be the first lesson. The key to building a winning coalition is to stop throwing insults at people you can build common cause with.
That's the first lesson. We teach it to kids in high school when running for the student council. Works like a charm every time.
There are more if you are willing to listen.
But put it this way - we have the same goals and want to do things in the same order. When you are able to figure out that means WE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM, then perhaps we can move forward.
If not, and if insults are all there is, then you don't get my vote. Nor do you get the votes of anyone else.
BTW, family has run party politics in my state since before WWI. Don't even think you have cred here. You don't. Got it?
We aren’t on the same team, read post 57 again, it just wants to open the borders and remove the INS and the Border Patrol, there would be no “Ellis Island” besides, why would the world south of the border want to go to New York instead of just walking or driving into the United States from their houses in Mexico, and all the countries south of that, why wouldn’t the Orient just fly into LA and Seattle, and Muslims fly into Houston and Denver, all by the unlimited millions and millions?
All of them eligible for that welfare that you can’t end? Do you remember that every vote counts the same, no matter how much you fantasize?
I don’t want open borders and partial birth abortion and homosexual marriage and adoption and military, and Boy Scouts, and all the other left wing libertarian stuff.
