Wow. Way to take things personally.

BobL was IMO just taking the opportunity to remind all who may read the thread that every judge matters and that RINO usually vote with the Republicans on judges. BobL even included context that I was unaware of.

I thought that Garland and Zero’s last year were the first time that opposing President’s nominees were systematically blocked. The MSM would certainly have you believe that was the case and the Left acts like Mitch is the Devil because he held back bringing Leftist judges to the floor vote.

Imagine the light bulb effect of finding that”Reagan and Bush Jr...the last two years of their terms - very little movement on judges. For Bush Sr., that was his entire term.” With the second punch being that those slots were filled by the Democrat Presidents that followed them. The Left is even more hypocritical than I had realized and even more addicted to accusing others of what they had in fact done and done first.

Many freepers have espoused the premise that they are fed up with RINO and want to a. Not Vote, B Vote for a Democrat or 3rd party candidate, to teach the Republican party a lesson.

Viscerally I understand completely. Intellectually I realize those actions rebound back on America making it that much harder to get back to an even economic keel and a society that hews to the Constitution. That was BobL’s point as I understand it.

On FR we comment partially to the OP but also to the larger audience to express our thoughts on the issues raised by the OP. It is contra productive to think of a response as being an indictment or aimed personally when it is more often an attempt to express deeply held beliefs and respond to a commonly posted alternate view raised once again by a post.

I’ll ask a SIMPLE QUESTION, BD: How does replacing RINOs with Democrats in the Senate help the country?

If you can’t answer that in a reasonable, then you DESERVE to have your motivations questioned.

Thanks for your response! Once again you make this error that somebody wants to “teach the Republican Party a lesson.” No! That is the straw man. Would not you want to actually persuade? Would you like to understand? Anyway you must adjust to this new truth: we are not going to help you elect your lesser evils. It is not happening. All of BobL’s bluster is doing nothing except whatever emotional needs he may have.
