The whole R/D thing is a scam to keep the little indians fighting amongst ourselves while they've been quietly erecting a world police state all around us.

Seems like the masks are falling off right and left this election.

Re read my post. It is a slam on pj and others who use false justification for their secret liberalism. I am well aware of the use of donations so one can operate in a corrupt environment. Having worked in construction for over 30 years I know how the game is played.

Ecclesiastes say a time to every season. The season of these so-called wanna-be conservatives is over.

Silly me, I thought the fundamental, primary principle of conservatism was that America is an exceptional nation, different from all others. Trump believes this. The globalists do not.

They can have unity when they surrender.

At least the finance people are not stupid, and I’m sure they’ve considered their ROI with the advent of Trump.

Trump has exposed a lot of Liberal sheep in “Conservative” clothing.

I’ve been bashed here in the past for saying that O’Rourke isn’t funny and has never been funny. That has led to outraged private posts from Keepers of the Humorist Flames that included links to supposedly hilarious National Review columns. I’ll stick with Mad Magazine, thank you!

Well, he’s not funny and he’s not very smart either. Any man who votes for a ball-breaker Ma Joad wannabe like her, deserves what he gets.

Well, four of his kids weren’t butchered in Benghazi, so it’s easy for him to say ‘normal parameters.’ What a disgusting thing for him to say.

So who REALLY gives a rats behind who one person or another endorses? If the voters can’t think for themselves on the issues a candidate promotes, they shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

Perhaps a “test” needs to be given to all who plan to vote to see if they really know what Candidate A or Candidate B stands for. Might be an interesting test and lower the number of the voting population.

O’Rourke is an atheist libertarian whose says really mean, nasty stuff, but is given a pass because he is “a humorist”.

There are no conservatives at National Public Radio. Not a single one.

Exactly. What makes anyone think that leftist infiltration into major institutions would exempt the GOP? If I were a conspiracy practitioner , the GOP would be the FIRST place I’d put operatives. Candidates have all the right talking points, yet voting records reflect matters differently.
Their ability to play off each other on issues in order to raise funds is phenomenal.

Couple years ago you and I agreed on the various unfunny ‘conservative’ humorists, O’Rourke, Queenan, Gutfeld too IMHO.

These guys are unfunny in much the same way our supposed conservative leaders—Ryan, Romney, Bush (take your pick), Sasse, Kristol, et al.—are unconservative: when the going gets tough, or gets headed away from their own secret little safe zones, then they cave.

What a bunch of deadly parasites the right has fallen prey to over the years.

I’m sorry but anyone that backs Hillary is NOT a conservative.

O’Rourke is another Globalist thug.

Gutfeld is only the most recent unfunny! God, I can’t stand his heavy-handed brand of ‘humor.’ And they are all slaves to the establishment - each and every one of them.

Actually, Trump is the real funny man. His rallies are so Jackie Mason-esque. Perhaps that’s the problem: people like Bill Kristol shake their heads and say “Too Jewish.”

Sorry no coffee, we have been under an endless Trump bashing campaign with Trumps donations being the focus.

I agree. Likewise, saying you won’t vote for the GOP candidate (e.g. Trump) means you are tacitly voting for Hitlery and all that she stands.

************************************************************

Are you accusing me of saying I’m not voting for Trump?

Bye Jeb.

IF Trump wins you have demonstrated yourself politically impotent, utterly childish and totally irrelevant. This moronic political temper-tantrum here will follow your around forever. Your career in politics/media is effectively over.

If Trump loses, everyone in the Party is going to point at the #Never Trump clown posse as the cause. You will be politically pariahs. Your career in politics and media is effectively over.

IT is over, you lost. You can either sit down shut up or be destroyed by your own petulant, arrogant, stupidity.
