Umm..lemme get this right. You're saying Yertle should have let Garland's nomination go forward vs blocking it for the next President? You'd prefer that monster over Gorsuch? You'd prefer that Dobbs never happened?

I've been getting lip service from Republicans on overturning Roe for DECADES. The guy on paper LEAST LIKELY to nominate such judges - ya know...NY liberal guy - go that ball over the goal line.

Abortion is murder. That's not like a policy, e.g. whether for not we should slap quotas on Japan.

If the "cost" of Dobbs is election weakness, so be it. I'll find some way to deal with leftist politicians. Millions of aborted babies were unavailable to voice their opinion on the matter.

Republicans make me SMH sometimes.

“Didn’t Trump say the “Pig” would be a better guv than Kemp?”

Yes, Trump did say that during a rally but he was being sarcastic to make a point, point being that it seemed like the Republicans running Georgia were good democrats.

Lindsey Graham in part helped sabotage the issue by proposing that bill and undermining the message it was a state issue.

But the Democrats were also engaging in whispering campaigns even claiming apparently in some places that women could be prosecuted for having miscarriages if the GOP won. Moreover, the Democrats were not held accountable for the extremist bill they proposed in the Senate and voted on - provisions the overwhelming majority of the country opposed, but were never really brought to the light of day. But the base sat on their behinds and kept their wallets closed, so our candidates could not counter this messaging.

I do not understand your post. It makes zero sense to what I said. It had nothing to do with what you’re saying. I am pro-life, no exceptions.

The fetus is a human being. Abortion is murder. Good luck at the White Throne of Judgement.

its murder.
the fact that any christian will even countenance it, after proclaiming we are Christians is why God has sold us down the river to the devil. Abortion to save the life of the mother is usually a different procedure... called a DNC... not an abortion of a beating heart pre born child.

There is a difference.

Its NOT Trumps fault that we lost. It’s not the republican’s fault. It’s OUR fault. God has allowed us to be where we are because Christian men, women and doctors are approving abortions, paying for them and causing them to be necessary in the first place.

We have been warned about this by God and the Bible... regarding many things, like the ten commandments. They are NOT suggestions. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality... all morally wrong and DEADLY sins to the hosting christian body, the christian individual and the nation that approves and pays for it.

Our way of life... is rebellion against God... so he will overthrow our elections, or allow us to have wicked rulers because we WILL NOT REPENT, but will argue about our need to do so... individually, organizaitonally and politically on a national basis.

Unless we repent, we will all likewise perish. What we sow, we reap. It’s not WHO is to blame... it’s more like who’s NOT to blame.

We need God to grant us a repentant heart... because without it we have NO EXPECTATION of any thing but judgement.

individually we can be delivered an spared... but the nation that rebels against God can write constitutions till their face turns blue and without repentance... we can expect nothing but wormwood... in every dimenstion that is unyielding.

we should still vote. we should still pray and support the lawful rules of this nation... but as individuals we will have to obey, and face that fact that in the world we will have persecution.

fools believe our solution is political... legal or states rights issues...

our solution is indivdual repentance.
start practicing obedience and confession.

“confess your faults one to another that ye may be healed” means without confession based on repentance and actions that demonstrate it... there will be NO HEALING of our land.
why are we not healed... because we are voting hard enoug?
WRONG.... we have to repent... the christian amongst us need to repent, confess and do what is right.

Christ brought us God’s grace through the cross, but the commandments did not magically turn in to suggestions at Calvary.
Every god fearing bible believer, christ confession child of god knows it... Whether obedience is a matter of grace and enabling by God or self discipline is debated till the cows come hom... but deep down every christian knows sin is wrong and is destructive to ANY nation.

I think this is a good thing for us to be opening up for from God this year... conviction, remorse, repentance, confession and forsaking of what we KNOW is wrong.

Starting it is more important than debating about it.
1 John 1:9.

The GOP in Washington State ignored the Dem’s ads saying that the GOP will pass a bill banning all abortions nation wide. Almost all Republicans lost their races. The GOP in our state was inept and unbelievable.

The trouble with sarcasms is they can be twisted around.
Sarcasm is a trait of Trump but doesn’t work when the lying media say “Trump said this”...

So according to Trump the election cheating just occurred in 2020 and not 2022 even though all the same methods were used? Sounds like Trump is now cutting deals with the political establishment.

You are hallucinating. Murder requires a human being who can live on their own. Fetus under 12 years age is not a human being. It can not live outside mother’s body. It is therefore part of her body.

You are probably a man. You have zero right to impose your mentality on women.

As for religious beliefs, my religion is 3000 years older than yours. And my religion respects women more. When pregnancy was imposed via rape or incest, the woman has the right to do with her body what she desires.

You are not a high IQ thinker. It is never about wining seats. It is all about getting rid of hard left and socialist democrats out of power.

You can not do it with your mindset of imposing your religious beliefs on all republicans. The democrats are hurting the country with allowing invasion of illegals, spending like drunken sailors and jacking up the already ugly national debt, encouraging LGBTQ agenda, allowing crime to expand, increase taxes on hard working middle class etc etc etc.

Majority of Americans are not with your mentality. Losing elections will never get abortions to stop. Like I said, your thinking is low IQ.

Who picked and supported those candidates?

Nothing is ever Trump's fault.

Not really a good thing for him to be saying right now, IMHO. No need to pass fault, as we all know what happened with the illegal ballots, etc.

If Americans can’t understand it’s wrong to murder the preborn and that there’s damning consequences to follow, we are a nation walking dead. We are suffering those consequences now, like a Titanic arrogantly speeding toward the iceberg. Trump may be merely pointing that out for political expediency, but what an alarming situation. It’s shocking to see a populace who can’t understand the truth of abortion, that it’s never necessary. Only God can save America now via massive repentance and revival.
