A woman presidential candidate will not pull the vote because some have said they will never vote for a woman. Both need to be moderate, and publicize the platform positively. And key in what the Republicans have done to them. I mentioned somewhere that I don't think a woman or minority candidate could beat Trump, with the exception of their being a recession during election season 2020. I don't see any female candidate that could beat Trump to get the 270 EVs. Same thing goes with a minority candidate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done a survey, but I would bet that over 90% of current Democrat politician's positions on abortion is "I wouldn't get one, but I think it should be legal". Not good enough. Anything short of declaring that the moment in which the sperm enters an egg is a divine miracle in which two things which are neither human nor alive, merge to create a fully rights-endowed human is immediately labeled as "pro abortion". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no, remember, now they are using the idea that since finding a single cell organism on Mars would be proof of extra-terrestrial life then why isn’t an embryo life? But I’ll take that farther, spilling your seed is against God’s will and therefore a sin. And guess what? I can back it up with the Bible too. 59 minutes ago, Zguy28 said: Said this earlier.

The Right has been running Pro-Choice (in action) Republicans and you’ve been voting for them for decades. They just strap on the Pro-Life label so they can get the Evangelical support for corporate welfare and abuse of the poor. 6 hours ago, Rdskns2000 said: I mentioned somewhere that I don't think a woman or minority candidate could beat Trump, with the exception of their being a recession during election season 2020.

Agreed, those stalwarts aren’t going to allow a cleft crotch into the White House unless she is standing next to a man. We used to joke behind closed doors, that there was no problem in a church that a couple funerals wouldn’t solve.

That’s funny that you think that “Trickle Down Economics” was ever intended to work for the middle and lower classes. I think Trickle Down Economics worked PERFECTLY as planned. But if you want to look at deficit spending from these “so called” Conservatives then by all means lets do that. 1 hour ago, twa said: I tried to tell ya I was a liberal Ya left out Ron Paul.

Bang Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) So if they aren't "conservatives" they must be "liberals" You guys and your labels. they are not conservatives. Their policies are not conservative. They are whores, sellouts, duplicitous silver tongued devils. They are bought and serve special interests. Wrapped in the flag, thumping bibles, and fleecing us all. When there is such a fundamental inability to recognize hypocrisy without justifying it by pointing at someone else.. , and there exists such a fundamental ability to adjust "facts" to fit thinking, to be so enamored of labels that everything must boil down to A or B, then i am certain there is no way out in this country except fire. Conservatives stand for personal responsibility. None of the current crop of GOP understands this. everything is someone else's fault, your dear leader spends his morning pushing out big mac turds and screaming accusations at everyone for the things he is doing. He's a filthy degenerate, period. He rips up every one of your values and ****s all over them and hands you a ****ing spoon. And you clowns eat it and pretend to be 'conservative".. and astonishingly, manage to do so without shame. ~Bang Edited May 8, 2018 by Bang 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that the the "us and them" mentality is flawed. Its what I might hate most about politics in America. I label myself a moderate conservative. For instance, I don't agree with trickle down economics and support Gov. Hogan's new community college initiative to set aside public money for tuition grants. I think its reasonable and not irresponsible fiscally. So all that, I hear you, but trust me, I was joking at the expense of our antagonistic & hyper-polarized political discourse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaking bull****, and they elect the moron in chief, who basically blows up the deficit in a year.... Crickets from the GOP....

You just know that Trump loooooooved it too. Emasculating his opponents is what gets him to wadded up tissue time. You know Kasich didn't. Trump wanted him as VP and was willing to let Kasich do all the work and Trump just be the front man. Kasich was smart enough to resist those overtures from Trump's people. Kasich didn't even attend the GOP convention, which was in his own state. He's been critical of Trump. He's probably running in 2020; though if he does it as a Republican' he's fooling himself. A third party run would be the way to go. No, he won't win but it would provide a real alternative to the GOP other than the Dems and set the stage for something other than the GOP in the future.
