And I said we are paying for it, just like we paid for the 20 million invasion. Because the Administrative (Deep) State was paying journalists for favorable propaganda press coverage, as well as NGOs facilitating the invasion through USAID.

It wasn't done for free, and we were actually paying for it with our taxes going to the Treasury and then being passed off to USAID to undermine this nation.

That’s what I said.

“You fail to mention she was given no money by Mitch McConnell from his NRSSC fund, while dumping millions into other races in the East that were lost.”

Also, pkajj failed to mention that Ronna Romney McDaniel REFUSED to send attorneys to assist Kari in any way.

With Kari Lake, money wasn’t the issue. She was universally known, having been on Phoenix TV for many years. Everyone knew who she was, and she still couldn’t persuade enough independent voters to join up with conservatives to pull her over the top. When she called her primary opponent (Sheriff Mark Lamb) a “coward”, 14 other elected GOP sheriffs demanded an apology. She sort of complied, but that was a real turnoff to many GOP voters, who expressed their sentiments in November.

[MayflowerMadam]

I never said money was the issue. Legal expertise re election law was, as well as strong attorneys who would fight for her. The RNC wouldn’t provide their lawyers whose job it was to do those things. Even if she had had unlimited financial resources, public attorneys refused to represent MAGA-related candidates because they’d lose other clients.

[Robert DeLong]

No you said; I don’t see a need to pay for propaganda. Most “news” outlets do it for free. M

They do not do it for free, you, I and all taxpayers are paying to be lied to, without our knowledge, util recently that is. DOGE exposed the truth. We knew they were lying to us, what we were not aware of was that we were paying to destroy our nation with our very own money dollars we were being forced to pay with our incomes taxes. Not only do we have to pay them or lose everything, we still lose everything when we pay them.

[shelterguy]

Yeah, like I said.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah, I know what you said, but you were wrong.

[shelterguy]

I think you are a bit confused but I don’t insult people so I won’t say anything.

[Robert DeLong]

I think you are a bit confused but I don’t insult people so I won’t say anything.

I guess it is you who is confused as to what you said, so let me post your original statement yet again:

To: SeekAndFind

I don’t see a need to pay for propaganda. Most “news” outlets do it for free.

Insult away, but you said what you said & I corrected you, because I am not the least bit confused, and the proof is your post at #5.

Nothing is being done for free. To add insult to injury, they are using our hard earned money that we pay in taxes to screw us.

It's you who is refusing to own up to what you actually said. There is nothing that the press does for free, because of the revelations from DOGE exposing of USAID, we learned that we were paying for the propaganda provided by the press who received money through USAID unbeknownst by tax payers to destroy out nation, and we tax payers were also paying for the NGOs to facilitate the invasion of millions of military aged men into the nation.

It's really quite simple to grasp how it is not being provided for free, as you erroneously claimed in post #5.

But then in post #18 you tried to slip in a slightly different statement"

To: Robert DeLong

I said we don’t need to pay for propaganda, it is everywhere.

Apparently you thought I would fall for your attempt to confuse, but I am not the least bit confused as I said earlier. I am giving you the benefit of doubt that you are confused, and not claiming that you tried to employ subterfuge.

Like much of the GOP across the country, the Arizona GOP is deeply split between establishment RINO types who are in charge and populist conservatives, which includes Kari Lake and others. None of this contradicts any defects that Lake may have displayed as a candidate, or that Arizona's spectacular vote manipulation and thievery can tilt the outcome against even quite good populist conservative candidates.

More broadly, there are many other instances in which establishment RINOs prefer that Democrats win instead of populist, non-establishment GOP conservatives. No matter party affiliation, establishment types usually prefer to block outsiders rather than risk the predictable flow of jobs, appointments, offices, deals, and dollars to the establishment.

Moreover, when populist Republican conservatives win, they often find that they have constant, bitter, underhanded opposition while in office. That is what Trump was and is up against. The difference is that Trump is a fighter by temperament with a billionaire's resources and a feral determination to win.

I think you should check out some medication that helps you relax. I don’t know why you can’t understand a simple discussion. Good luck.

[Robert DeLong]

You need to learn that words have meaning, and that arguing when you incorrectly use the wrong words, only make yourself look foolish.
