Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I’m old. I’m jaded. I remember 6 straight years of Republican house, senate, and presidency, and nothing getting rolled back. No lost ground regained. LOL! No you don't.

Alito, Roberts, Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh currently sit on the Supreme Court and thus Heller, McDonald and Bruen are a direct result of a GOP Senate and Presidency. You’re kind of right, so I won’t argue it. Bush started with full control in ‘01 because Cheney had the tie-breaker in the 50/50 Senate until Jeffords switched to independent in June and caucused with the Ds. Then Wellstone (d) died in MN and Talent of MO filled remainder of the term of Mel Carnahan and Rs were in charge again. So, the Rs had most of that 6-year period. Sunsetting the AWB was great. But there was no affirmative move by anybody to roll anything back. Everyone, including Bush played defense and simply rode it out. But, credit where it’s due. If the Congress would have given Bush a renewal, that fuckhead would have signed it. They didn’t. As for the justices, I fully approve of that result. That’s one of the primary reasons, as I stated, that I still vote for shitty Rs in most circumstances. When the GOP tells me to fuck off and that my senate candidate is carpet-fucking-bagging Scott Brown because they decreed that I have no say in the matter, they can fuck right off. Where’s your line? Do you have one? Is there any candidate the GOP would shove up your ass to which you would say “no, I won’t do that.”? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I must have missed where they put an end to Illegal Immigration, repealed gun control, balanced the budget, created term limits, repealed Obama Care. Can you list one accomplishment they made? They stopped what’s happening now. Trump nearly stopped illegal crossings Achieved real wage growth for the first time in 3 decades. Disproportionately favoring minorities. Cut regulations by the thousands Slowed the deterioration of our schools Steady economic growth with near zero inflation. Achieved energy independence Stood with Poland and Hungary against EU First peace accords between Israel and multiple Arab countries Cut Iran off at the knees stabilized Afghanistan Warned Germany they were going to be at Putins mercy if they emasculate their own energy industry. You stay home and don’t vote for a less than perfect repub , you send a dem to Washington to support Schumer and pelosi. We all wind up getting what YOU deserve. |

Quoted: Doyou think the economy was worse under Trump? Really? Trump had short term domestic success with our economy. But those successes were driven by actions which were always going to have long-term, negative, and unavoidable consequences. We are seeing those consequences today. His economy was fueled in part by slashing the corporate tax rate. This is awesome, except for the fact that there was no corresponding cut in federal spending; instead, we got record federal debt. When you put everything on a credit card that you can't pay back, it may look awesome for a little while, but it isn't going to end up turning out well. Place the blame where you want, and congress sure owns a bunch of it. But the fact remains. Interest rate suppression (remember when he was urging the Fed for negative interest rates?  ) was the second action which fueled our economic growth. Cheap money is awesome. Until it results in once-in-a-generation inflation, which we are seeing today. Biden's war on energy has made inflation objectively worse, but to pretend that the die wasn't cast during Trump's administration (and Obama's administration) for the shit we are dealing with today, is naive.And to take it one step further, I am actually thankful that the Fed is doing the needful. I'd rather take the pain today, then more pain tomorrow. And I am confident that if Trump were still in charge, he would be doing everything within his power to kick this economic can even further down the road. |

This is why we lose -- elections are not about you and your feels, nor is it about only voting for someone IF they pass your Personal Purity Test, so you can "feel good" about yourself.
Again, for clarity -- It's not about you, princess. You are deciding which of the two candidates would be better for the COUNTRY, not for your conscience. Elections are always about the lesser of two evils, because the mere act of even having a Govt, that in and of itself is the lesser of two evils. That is the cold hard reality, like it or not. Don't be a petulant child and pretend not to understand that by sitting home on your thumb on election day. |

I must have missed where they put an end to Illegal Immigration, repealed gun control, balanced the budget, created term limits, repealed Obama Care. Can you list one accomplishment they made? They aren't very good at doing anything good. Thankfully they are a lot better at stopping democrats from doing bad. McConnell did prevent Obama from passing gun control after Sandy Hook. He also prevented him from nominating Garland to the supreme court. Remember also when they had everything under Trump they did not have a filibuster proof majority so passing all the items you list would likely have not been possible. |

Except N_T's are doing it in the general election to enable the commie party to remain in control of committees and agendas and oversight. Irony? Because they don't pass the N_T's "purity tests"?

Again, for clarity -- It's not about you, princess. You are deciding which of the two candidates would be better for the COUNTRY, not for your conscience. Elections are always about the lesser of two evils, because the mere act of even having a Govt, that in and of itself is the lesser of two evils. That is the cold hard reality, like it or not. Don't be a petulant child and pretend not to understand that by sitting home on your thumb on election day. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At this point, yes. Republicans have proven they don't plan to do anything to regain our rights. Ever. Might as well fast track it straight to the Supreme Court, or go ahead and get the party started. The longer we wait and rely on the Republicans, the more rights the Republicans will "compromise" away for us on our behalf. Sometimes things are damaged beyond repair, and the only way to fix it is to tear it down and start over. Makes perfect sense. Let’s stay home so democrats get elected.. then they can stack the SC with liberal justices. “Let’s get this party started” is masturbatory fantasy. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And they'd pass the Hearing Protection Act and repeal gun laws too, right? Try pulling the other leg for a while. I don't want to be stuck walking in circles. He’s right. There would be no Jan 6 probe. You have to be an idiot to think otherwise. The HPA isn’t going to pass without 60 Senators. The same reason the Dems couldn’t pass a new AWB. |

The time for change is the primaries but ain't no one got time to worry about that.
You think i wanted to vote for Susan Collins? Fuck no still have a bad taste in my mouth but she was better than Sarah libtard Gideon from new York. It's not about what choices you should have. It's the ones you do have. I don't like it either but a rino that votes with you 75%of the time is better than a libtard voting against you 100% of the time. |

You should add that some of the time, not all, these RINO moderates, turn out to be more than just reliable votes. They also, sometimes, become huge egotistical blowhards that attack other Republicans for being too aggressive or too controversial and put up "no" votes on critical government roll backs out of spite for their constiuents. In those cases, it really begs to question who they're allegiance is with, the country, the party or themselves, and it is a question whether a vote for them actually improves our situation or worsens it. Because while we get reliable votes on certain things, they royally screw us on other things. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If Republican candidates offer no actual alternative to Progressive Leftist Democrats, then electing them is a waste of time. Worse. Electing them IS electing progressive leftist |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because I don’t want Democrats to be in office. This is a binary choice. Why do I feel like on debating an 8 yer old kid? So you are good with slowly removing your liberties and rights, vs just getting it over with? |

I doubt. And just like justice delayed is justice denied, loss of freedom delayed is… still freedom… |
