seriously. its already starting and it wont stop with the abortion and gay shit. Democrats will not stop until republicans stop letting them do it. How hard is this? Liberal cunt: "you want to abortion this or gay that blah blah blah" Republican candidate "I have my personal view on that but Im not going to let the law change either way on that. The next president can deal with that bullshit Im here to fix the fucking economy and deal with the massive debt we are piling up on our grandchildren" We survived the last four years with federal law as it is on social issues and I will veto any attempts to change laws concerning social shit until we have fixed the real problems in this country. I wont be sidetracked by these games as president much as you are trying to do right now to avoid what most people find the essential tasks at hand for our future so ask me about something else" Rinse repeat. They will stop doing it if you stop fucking playing their game. |

And just how will the republicans counter the argument that we are well into in a recovery from a deep recession that bottomed out at the end of the George W. Bush presidency, that unemployment is down 20% since then, and that the stock market is at record high levels. I'd truly like to know, because I guarantee you the democrats will be asking. |

The recovery is false, built upon bad statistics and quantitative easing. When the qe stops having an effect, and the bill comes due, its gonna be rough. It wasn't free lunch. They need to run on a "fix the debt problem and bring efficency to the government" program, along with a real plan to unfuck healthcare, then demonstrate the serious issues created in the ME over the past 6 years. Make the social issues State issues. Otherwise, they will paint a picture of roses from a pile of shit. |

Rinse repeat. They will stop doing it if you stop fucking playing their game. No. They won't. Recently, we had an instructive case here in Texas. A Republican state legislator from a rural county proposed that $3 million be moved from HIV education to abstinence education in the Texas budget. There was no transcript of the debate so I'm still not real sure exactly what his argument for this was. Luckily a "non-profit" "newspaper" called the Texas Tribune was there. It was set-up as a charitable foundation funded by out-of-state donations to promote "journalism" in Texas. The Democrats asked him if he practiced abstinence with his wife. They asked him if he ever tried to sleep with someone besides his wife. They badgered him until other legislators were yelling out "Decorum!" When one legislator asked him "how much money abstinence education needs, would $3 billion be enough to satisy him?" He answered "My goal is that everyone is abstinent until they are married." He didn't actually try to use the power of government to force that on people. That is just what he believed personally. The Tribune ran with the headline "Texas Legislator Says Everyone Should Be Abstinent Until Married!" That is also how the story was titled in GD when it was reposted here. Even with the link to the original story right in front of them, better than half the people responding either didn't read anything but the headline or failed to understand it and went off on all kinds of prissy, drama-queen rants. The story was then picked up and reported by ABC and other national news organizations; but with less detail and the same sensationalistic headline. The people reporting the news are not friends of the GOP. They actively want to see it fail and they see nothing wrong with promoting that result. Attempting to appease them is not going to get you anywhere. They'll just move the goalposts. If you shut up on abortion it will become "equal pay for women". If you shut up on gay marriage, it will become "transgendered bathroom rights." If the national candidate says nothing but budget and debt, they'll ignore him and report on state and city level politicians who comment on the issues they are pushing and have less polished responses; but they'll make sure you know they are Republicans and they'll be sure to ask the GOP Presidential candidate if he agrees with the homophobic hateful statements of the Mayor of Podunk,IA regarding transgendered bathroom rights. They'll keep looking for wedge topics until they find something that resonates and demand your press conference on budgetary issues and debt be used to answer those questions. What they really want if for the GOP to just shut up period. |

And as long as we allow these assholes to continue to represent the party at all, the liberal media will make them the FACE of the party. Like it or not, we are facing a stereotype that was in part created by our own politicians. The stereotype has been blown out of proportion by the media. But until the republicans drop the social issues, especially retarded ones like this (abstinence? Really? people are biologically hard wired to want to fuck, and then thrown into a society that glamorizes fucking, the only ones holding on to abstinence are the ones who can't get laid anyway) and focus on things like fiscal responsibility, privacy rights, and shrinking the growth of an expansive and uncontrollable government, then Republicans as a party will be treated exactly as you saw in Texas. |

What they really want if for the GOP to just shut up period. There are no news reporters in this country anymore, by and large, just people saying things that will get them ratings by being a big story (and they'll make it bigger if they need to,) and people trying to sell their preferred politics. Heck, this morning I was listening to Morning Edition on NPR (they used to slant left, but still report news.) Three stories in a row were: 1: Dramatic emphasis on WHITE police officer kills BLACK man, in an example of the war on black people by the police in America, complete with interviews of folks alleging that the police in North Charleston murder black people all the time. Did theydig into past shootings by the NCPD? No. Did they try to find some context for anything? No. Or did they interview other people saying the same thing, then point out the proportion of black people employed by NCPD and decry it? Yes. Then run another interview where a black man said no one in his community wants to be a police officer, while decrying the fact that NCPD is not doing enough to reach out to them? Of course. 2: A story about people in CA protesting about the loss of their freedoms they saw in a bill to limit vaccine truthers from getting waivers from schools, complete with sobbing morons afraid that vaccines would turn their kids into zombies, and descriptions of crowds of protestors draped in the American flag. Yeah, NPR, how come those folks are scared Americans protesting because they want freedom of choice and are afraid of lost liberty, while people protesting proposed gun laws are fringe lunatics or shills for the NRA? 3: A story about a politician in MO who killed himself that heavily hinted that an opponent's attack ad was the cause, complete with ranting lunacy about how his suicide proves that words kill, and a lengthy diatribe about the ad was bullying, and the guy behind it was a bully and should be stopped. Really? So a full grown man running a political attack ad can bully another full grown politician into suicide? Bah. There is no news, just entertainment, fear mongering, crisis manufacturing, pandering, and paid attempts to use the forgoing to influence laws and politics for mind bogglingly short sided reasons.

The measure passed 97-47. The author of the measure was a medical doctor - not some deranged redneck living in a trailer and handling snakes at church. I know that you personally might feel otherwise; but the thing is the people who elected this guy don't agree with you - and there are enough of those people that their candidates continue to get reelected to political office all across the country. The Texas GOP certainly isn't having any problems expanding its power due to lack of support over these issues. So I'm not seeing how telling these folks to just shut up is going to help the national GOP. Let's just assume you are correct and that this is popular local policy that is a net vote loser nationally. So what are you going to do? Tell all those people to shut up and stay home on election day? And then hope you gain more votes than you lost from people who already dislike you because they are told by the press you are the party of moral busybodies? Because my point is the press is going to keep telling them that even if you get them to shut up (in fact, especially if you get them to shut up since the press can now be completely one-sided in reporting). Look at this Administration - they are strong-arming universities into pushing "yes means yes" standards for sexual assault that mean if you don't get affirmative consent from your significant other EVERY single time you kiss them, you are committing a sexual assault. Even better, they are demanding that the SCHOOL, not police, investigate and handle the matter (say goodbye to due process or fairness under the promulgated standards). Yet the GOP is portrayed as the party of moral busybodies. Hell, my alma mater's campus PD is an actual, state-certified law enforcement agency. My school just got sued by the Feds because they were turning over sexual assault investigations to trained investigators - thus depriving the victims of a chance to have the school investigate  . The resulting settlement agreement now includes a kangaroo court where the accused doesn't get to have legal representation, gets 3 days notice, and can't cross-examine witnesses - and of course the professional law enforcement agency that the school established will not be involved. Somehow, in their zeal to cover the $3 million line item in a subpart of the $210 billion Texas state budget, the Texas Tribune missed that story. Not enough out-of-state donations to cover that one I guess.

people are biologically hard wired to want to fuck, and then thrown into a society that glamorizes fucking, the only ones holding on to abstinence are the ones who can't get laid anyway. Are you sure you developed a frontal lobe? Sounds to me you are an animal subject to his emotions that cannot keep his pants on Looking back, that comes close to describing me when I was 18. |

And just how will the republicans counter the argument that we are well into in a recovery from a deep recession that bottomed out at the end of the George W. Bush presidency, that unemployment is down 20% since then, and that the stock market is at record high levels. I'd truly like to know, because I guarantee you the democrats will be asking. I don't know? 10 T in debt, as much as all the presidents before him.  How much are you making on your savings?

This thread is going nowhere, just like the GOP:
-Women vote. they vote more than men. At least since 1980, they vote more Democrat. As a group, they vote for: increased government involvement in our lives, more gun control, more welfare. If given the choice, they tend to vote to be TAKEN CARE OF. Does anybody see this changing? -The Mexicans are here in their tens of millions. They WILL vote, whether it is legal or not, because no one will stop them. They WILL keep coming in their tens of millions, because no one will stop them. They bring with them a culture dominated, for four centuries, by Jefe and Padre. They will vote to be TAKEN CARE OF. - Hillary runs. Hillary puts on her Santa hat and dances for the Mexicans. Hillary promises women a government program that provides free shoes. Hillary wins. Done. |

The recovery is false, built upon bad statistics and quantitative easing. When the qe stops having an effect, and the bill comes due, its gonna be rough. It wasn't free lunch. They need to run on a "fix the debt problem and bring efficency to the government" program, along with a real plan to unfuck healthcare, then demonstrate the serious issues created in the ME over the past 6 years. Make the social issues State issues. Otherwise, they will paint a picture of roses from a pile of shit. Quoted:

However, I will NOT continue to play a losing game. THIS game is rigged. Change the game. Like I said, I read the Republican "Growth and Opportunity Project Report". THEIR plan to win is to run a Democrat, and call him a Republican. That says it all. And they tried it in 2012- they ran an eastern liberal, and HE couldn't win. |

Im not sure why everyones gettin all worked up over the GOP or Rand Paul. Hillary is the next POTUS like it or not. Nope. I bet you a p-mag Hillary is NOT POTUS next year after the dust settles. If you are so sure, put your money where your mouth is. That hag is washed up. She couldn't even run the State department and it was painfully obvious. |

Quoted:
seriously. its already starting and it wont stop with the abortion and gay shit. Democrats will not stop until republicans stop letting them do it. Republican candidates lose when they accept the Left's definitions. Rand Paul got it right - he flushed out the DNC spokeswoman who confirmed they support abortion right up until the moment of birth. That's an extreme position and very unpopular, but Paul was the first GOP candidate to actually engage on the issue instead of running away. If the GOP nominee wants to win, they need to stop playing the media's game and start standing up for what they really believe. You can be the candidate of fixing the Obama mess and be pro-life at the same time. |

No. They won't. Recently, we had an instructive case here in Texas. A Republican state legislator from a rural county proposed that $3 million be moved from HIV education to abstinence education in the Texas budget. There was no transcript of the debate so I'm still not real sure exactly what his argument for this was. Luckily a "non-profit" "newspaper" called the Texas Tribune was there. It was set-up as a charitable foundation funded by out-of-state donations to promote "journalism" in Texas. The Democrats asked him if he practiced abstinence with his wife. They asked him if he ever tried to sleep with someone besides his wife. They badgered him until other legislators were yelling out "Decorum!" When one legislator asked him "how much money abstinence education needs, would $3 billion be enough to satisy him?" He answered "My goal is that everyone is abstinent until they are married." He didn't actually try to use the power of government to force that on people. That is just what he believed personally. The Tribune ran with the headline "Texas Legislator Says Everyone Should Be Abstinent Until Married!" That is also how the story was titled in GD when it was reposted here. Even with the link to the original story right in front of them, better than half the people responding either didn't read anything but the headline or failed to understand it and went off on all kinds of prissy, drama-queen rants. The story was then picked up and reported by ABC and other national news organizations; but with less detail and the same sensationalistic headline. The people reporting the news are not friends of the GOP. They actively want to see it fail and they see nothing wrong with promoting that result. Attempting to appease them is not going to get you anywhere. They'll just move the goalposts. If you shut up on abortion it will become "equal pay for women". If you shut up on gay marriage, it will become "transgendered bathroom rights." If the national candidate says nothing but budget and debt, they'll ignore him and report on state and city level politicians who comment on the issues they are pushing and have less polished responses; but they'll make sure you know they are Republicans and they'll be sure to ask the GOP Presidential candidate if he agrees with the homophobic hateful statements of the Mayor of Podunk,IA regarding transgendered bathroom rights. They'll keep looking for wedge topics until they find something that resonates and demand your press conference on budgetary issues and debt be used to answer those questions. What they really want if for the GOP to just shut up period. Quoted:
