Do you think the left isn’t on board for massive imports of H1b workers and even more unwashed 3rd world hoards? We recently saw this self destructive behavior by conservatives and independents in Virginia and look where that got us - a massive blue takeover with immediate draconian gun laws and huge tax hikes. Wake up and do the right thing. |

We can gripe about Vivek and Husted not being perfect candidates. But the simple truth is they are both far superior than their respective opponents. The stakes are too high. Get out and vote. Remind like minded people to vote. Ask conservative friends and family on election day if they voted, and if not, pester them to get to the polls!! Second Amendment supporters were able to bring enough pressure to force DeWine to support our objectives . . . and it can be done with other republican office holders. The same is not true if democrats are elected. |

I will vote for the Republican candidate in the general election. You want to convince people not to vote? Then go to where it will do some good: Bluesky. Go convince them to not vote for their piece of shit fraud - because in the end, all communists and socialists are frauds at heart. |

And the Democrat option is better? You’d rather cut off your nose to spite your face and open red states up to leftist agenda bullshit like draconian gun control and tax hikes? It’s nearly impossible to oust the left once they are in power. They will gerrymander and cheat their way into forever power. So wisen up and fucking do the right thing - vote for the pro 2A candidate. |

He will probably be better than Amy on that one issue. But we have nothing to prove that until he is in office. What's Amy's voting record look like? She just visited a fudd by shop down in Jackson county and, while she was about as disinterested in the shotguns there as she is of sobriety, she used the stop to promise she "respect the second" and encourage responsible recreation while supporting common-sense gun safety that helps protect our children. You don't really have to read between the lines to see where she's going with this. Neither has a voting record, but one of them is sure signaling for good 'ol gun control. In rainbow packaging, of course. She won't even acknowledge guns for self-defense. |

He will probably be better than Amy on that one issue. But we have nothing to prove that until he is in office. You’ve been saying this over and over… Obviously the guy doesn’t have a voting record as an elected official. Using your argument we would never have any new members in office, because they too would have no voting record to pass your purity test. It’s a dumb argument, stop. Not being a career politician is exactly what the .gov is supposed to be. It was build as a part time job where successful people could use their skills to run the county. Now it’s a bloated wasteland. Not having a voting record is not a reason to prevent a guy from office. Change is good. |

Just like that asshat weirdo Tim Waltz getting press coverage LARPing around carrying a shotgun and wearing brand new bright orange hunting clothes.

Go ahead a refute anything in this summary of his stances…. Anything. Bring receipts. Tell us what doesn’t pass your conservative purity test. Vivek Ramaswamy holds conservative and "America First" political views focused on reducing government bureaucracy, promoting free-market capitalism, and opposing cultural progressive policies. Economy and Corporate GovernanceAnti-ESG: Strongly opposes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing, arguing that corporate purpose should strictly focus on delivering quality products and profits rather than social engineering. Deregulation & Taxes: Advocates for major tax reductions, slashing government spending, and cutting federal and state regulatory red tape. Government and BureaucracyAbolishing Agencies: Has proposed eliminating or deeply restructuring major federal entities like the FBI, the ATF, and the Department of Education to curb what he terms the "managerial bureaucracy". Executive Power: Believes elected officials—not unelected federal bureaucrats—should run the government. Culture and SocietyAnti-Woke Movement: Labeled "anti-woke" by media and political analysts, he has written extensively (such as in Woke, Inc.) criticizing corporate and secular cultural movements, which he describes as new pseudo-religions. Social Media: Supports banning addictive social media platforms for children under 16. Immigration and BordersEnforcement-First: Supports aggressive border security, including finishing the southern border wall, reinstating "Remain in Mexico" policies, and executing large-scale deportations. Citizenship: Has called for ending birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants. Overhaul the H1B process making it more merit based than lottery based. Sealing the southern border including using military force. Energy and ClimateFossil Fuels: Rejects aggressive decarbonization mandates and international climate frameworks, asserting that fossil fuels are vital for human economic prosperity. AbortionState-Level Regulation: Describes himself as pro-life, supporting state-level restrictions (such as a six-week ban), but opposes a federal abortion ban, viewing the issue as one for individual states to decide. |

In my post above, show us what policy you don’t agree with. I’m interested. Basically your argument is because he has no political history, you can’t trust him? Or do you actually disagree with his stance on certain topics? |

Add the fact that the State GOP forced him upon us by kicking out all other candidates from the primary thus blocking the state republican voters from selecting the candidate. The result is that we now have an unpopular republican candidate polling 3 points under a room temperature IQ Dem candidate when Trump carried Ohio by 13 points two years ago. I get the “we have to vote Republican” lines, I have used them in the past with Dewine, Kasich, and Taft. At least they won the primaries so we could say they were selected. VR was polling single digits and the State GOP endorsed him and forced all others out of the race. That is bullshit. I won’t be voting for either governor candidate this election. I will be voting straight Republican for every other position. We will need them to hold the line against whoever gets into the governor’s office. But fuck Amy and fuck Vivek. |

I will be voting straight Republican for every other position. We will need them to hold the line against whoever gets into the governor’s office. But fuck Amy and fuck Vivek. I think the argument that he has no voting record, and therefore cannot be trusted, is unfair. Everyone who enters politics for the first time lacks a voting record. Voters have repeatedly said they are tired of establishment politicians and want new blood, yet when someone new steps forward, that same lack of experience is used against him. He has clearly stated his positions on the 2A, immigration, the economy, and deregulation. They are about as perfect as you can ask for in a conservative candidate. You can certainly question whether he will follow through, but dismissing him solely because he has never held elected office creates a standard that no political newcomer could ever satisfy. As for your second point: hate the game, not the player. Conservatives regularly complain that the party needs stronger conservative candidates. Now that the GOP has backed one, forced or not, the complaint is that the process was unfair. We are headed in the right direction and you attempt to hijack it at every turn. Honestly, it sounds as though you may have supported Yost personally, since you worked with him, and are frustrated that he did not get the nod to get into the game, now you want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Am I close? Because I would bet a paycheck that I am. Get over it. It’s Vivek or Amy. Quit pouting about it. |
What is a democrat? Someone who wants everything you have, except for your job.
Politicians should wear uniforms like NASCAR drivers so we could see their corporate sponsors.

Ohio voters are getting shitty choices, once again. But if you think you're doing something great by not voting for either candidate, you aren't. I truly hated DeWine. I called him a weasel to his face once. But still, faced with voting for him or a Democrat, I voted for him. Every fucking time. I hated it, but it was the only choice. When "principled" Republicans don't vote for either candidate, they help the enemy. Be an adult, FFS. Do the hard thing that you don't want to do, because you MUST. |

Sorry, they should have let the primary process play out. Since they can’t do that, I’m not voting for the guy. Not voting D either. But I can’t pull the lever for VR. Your conviction on this is to the detriment of the republic. You think you’re part of the solution, but you’re part of the problem. History has shown us this over and over, as recently as in Virginia. Thanks a ton, it’s conservatives like you who fuck it all up. |

But neither is a half dead house plant. Yet the half dead house plant is better than a Democrat. |
