Republican "legislative" accomplishments for the betterment of America
Benghazi - Nothing
Emails - Nothing
Durham - Nothing...wait someone changed a word in an email to surveille Carter Paige.
Voter fraud - Nothing
Blackmail Ukraine to announce investigation of Biden's - Impeachment
Insurrection - Impeachment
2023-2024 legislative agenda = Hunter Biden's laptop.
Inflation was the biggest threat to the nation EVER!!!!! Republican platform... Hunter Biden. He doesn't even hold public office. Basically the equivalent of Democrats investigating Barron Trump.
Congrats, guys. Make America Great Again

I saw an interview of Tony B. and he seems pretty confident about Joe being compromised. That would suck for you guys. I’ll wait and see what happens not like you. Russia Russia, Boebert Boebert.
chambers. At that time inflation was 1.4 %, national gas average $2.39 gallon and mortgage interest rates were around 3.0 %. Now national gas average is around $4.00 and in the summer $5.00 gallon, inflation is over 8.0 % and interest rates are over 7.0 %
Democrats to Republican’s lets now legislate and figure this out. Right!!!
Comparing a teenager to Hunter is comical. Hunter’s a POS with more than enough evidence to show that. We need to make sure Joe’s not the Big Guy.

but nice try. So are you giving them credit for not getting as bad as other countries and trying to bring it down?
almost 2 years.
The best legislation is often no legislation.
The next couple years will be golden age of legislation.
Here's my problem though. My entire adult life I've felt the GOP vs Democrat debate was a bad vs slightly less bad debate. The sides would periodically flip and one or the other would be worse, at least in my opinion.
It's different now. Now, it's bad vs evil. I'm not defending Republicans because frankly, there is no good reason to. What I don't understand is how you defend evil.

profoundly immoral and wicked. Please list how Dems are immoral and wicked?

justifies the killing. Unbelievable! I blame a combination of a bad educational system and poor parenting.

I'm arguing the morality of delivering children after failed abortions and not caring for them.
Full term abortions are pretty gross, but that balances out with the GOPers that want to ban all abortion, so that's not my argument in this thread.
Like a woman has a 7lb baby and decides at the last minute, "I change my mind!" then the doc says off with the baby's head?
The law in some of these states is such that you are not allowed to provide medical care to babies that were delivered following failed abortions. I do believe they try to make the child comfortable, but he or she or nonbinary or clownself is left to die. I've seen this primarily documented in VA.
Since you are unaware of this practice, you are absolved of your stupidity.
President with the help of the media to keep spewing the false narrative for two plus years......just for starters.
On Russian hoax, and sending us crooked Hillary, this clown attempts, sadly to reverse it to say nothing of tolerating violence.
Supporting policies that force health care workers to let babies die on hospital room tables is immoral.
Supporting policies that allow the health care industrial complex to include child mutilation as a revenue stream is immoral.
The attempt to establish a disinformation czar and the ongoing collusion with social media to suppress free speech is immoral.
I dont believe there is any nuance to these issues.

Fighting against policies that prevent teachers from talking to second graders about sexual and gender identity without telling parents is immoral.
Supporting policies that give the government control over your children is immoral.
Just checking.
Admitted by the so-called Architect.
Please enlighten me
In 2009, when the health care law was still being written, Sarah Palin coined the phrase "death panel" in a widely shared Facebook post. The headline of her post was innocuous enough, "Statement on the Current Health Care Debate."

Normal people call it Obamacare.
You're right. I recall, and this was a while ago so my memory might be bad, but yes, I remember argue with friends that it was bullshit in the context of Obamacare.
That said, I could at least make the logical jump, fascist that I am, to see death panels as a possibility. We spend soooo much money on healthcare just to keep people alive. Add to that to the fact that HC is still private under Obamacare and you can see there eventually being people that make cost based decisions with people's lives can't you?
Was that manipulation? Yes.
You are bringing up something from 15 years ago after having read my statement re: bad vs slightly less bad? Why?
Both political parties manipulate the messaging of the other. The Republicans are genuinely good at it. I was bringing up one example to show that it's completely disingenuous to get upset when the side of the aisle that you don't prefer does it (let alone call it immoral which is just dramatic).
Why do you have such low standards for our politicians and our media? I appreciate holding both of the ruling parties to that standard.
Carry on, Don Quixote!
Why not hold these people to a higher standard? Is that not a standard you try to hold yourself to?
So unless Jesus runs in the 2024 election then all of us are making some trade-offs.
And I'm not the one that brought up morality. You just choose the morality based on your prism. Most people do that, but don't call out the other side if you are doing the same thing.
I wish you would tell me why this behavior is ok. Money, media, and bad actors are undermining the Democratic process. It doesn't matter that it's been going on forever. It doesn't matter that both ruling parties do it. It's wrong, but it's not just wrong, it's damaging to the world we live in.
I don't need to be right on this issue. If you have a reason that this is unimportant, I'm open to it. There are other things that I'd rather think about.

You immoral bastard.
I'll remind you of the bad vs evil argument again. Your short term memory is terrible. You prioritize as best you can.
Are you aware that I've taken back the language I used in this instance? Are you missing that? When compared to the other things that I listed, this does not compare and I'm taking it back. You personally are wrong to think that any of this behavior to be acceptable, but I am no longer banishing you to hell. You can relax
Cool.
Dueces.
Let me be clear, I look at issues from as many sides as I can, and I pick a side. I know it's weird for you to consider that as an option since you've willingly put yourself in a box.
I was hoping that you could give me some sort of substantiative argument against the practice of voting in the opposite party's primary and you've done that to a certain extent. I've already shown my appreciation of that.
All that being said, having heard your perspective, it is clear that you are wrong to think that any of this behavior to be acceptable.

I do appreciate that. I don't agree with him, but he's given me pieces of a different perspective and I'm not mad at that.

You seem to have gone nutso which is too bad because you used to be one of the few fun posters on this board.
I'll first note you didn't dispute the others.
I would like a Democrat to answer the question I posed in that thread though. What happens when both parties start coordinating efforts to undermine the primaries of the other party?
You don't think it's immoral to place a higher priority on winning than the Democratic process? Don't you dare be a gutless puke and run away again. I think these are fair questions.
Undermining (sic) the primaries of the other party have been going on for decades. Members of both parties in open primary states have been voting for candidates in the other party that they feel is easier to beat for several cycles. Why is this different? More coordinated, certainly, but not different. The only difference this time around, as far as I can tell, is that the people that received the nomination were crazier than they have been in the past. That makes it riskier from the D perspective but, again, not different.
If you're upset about it, stop running crazy ass candidates in your preferred political party.
The Dems can't help nominate bad candidates and then say "stop running crazy ass candidates in your preferred political party." The Dems are helping nominate those crazy ass candidates. You logic is circular.
I also hate that you've called the GOP my preferred political party. I'm triggered now.
Also, also, the other issues I described can't be taken seriously enough...if anything, you aren't taking them seriously enough.
Lastly, you weren't gutless and I can respect that, but you are still 10 ply Charmin Soft (another issue that cannot be disputed).
You are. Get it?
The whole time, I've been arguing my concern about Republicans doing this too. I've not seen reports that Republicans are doing this in a coordinated way, and we have seen this with Dems, but I digress.
Are you arguing that you find this behavior, on either side, to be ethical (removing the morality language since it triggers you and now I'm actually interested)? That's how I'm interpreting your response...that is is acceptable behavior.
Paraphrasing: "Democrats do it but I haven't seen the Republicans do it." Ok.
And I answered your question above.
You don't like Rising or Breaking Points?

The candidates that throw their hat in the ring were not approached by other Democrats. Please tell me you know this already? It's almost like you're mad that the Dems just played the game better in regards to propping up the crazier R candidate.
Sounds like you're a single or two issue voter. The sooner you realize that the majority of this country doesn't want to restrict rights the faster you'll get over it.
In so much as you can concede a difference in opinion. I did stop. You seriously couldn't figure that out?

It's right there for the taking, and you blew it. You blew it this close to Christmas. Maybe you can ask Santa for some brains
