re: I’m with James Woods. frick the Republican Party.

Yes, and I understand James Woods is saying do not vote Republican.

And I am saying that James Woods is wrong and stupid for saying this, and I told you why, and why you'd listen to an entertainer about politics—much less hold him out to be an authority on the subject— is beyond me.

What does John Bon Jovi say about it?

What about Boy George?

Thune is a pile of shite and again I hate fricking Congress biggest bunch of grifters.

MAGA candidates should be running under a different banner.

If you want to guarantee a Democratic victory in every race, sure.

Same. I am 100% Team Trump.

You’ve got to reconcile voting for candidates if the GOP is not your party

Or you could simply make the GOP your party by electing candidates that advanced the agenda you prefer. In the primaries.

And then they'd have a chance to win in an actual election.

Or you could care more about "being edgy" and running under your own banner and give every election to the left because you split the vote of the right.

Your choice. And you've made it clear which you prefer. So that's fine.

Hope you enjoy the likes of AOC and Kamala Harris. You'll be seeing a lot more of that if the consensus is the same as Wood's horrible advice here.

He hasn't done anything in the acting world because of his conservative politics. He's quite bright (MENSA I believe) and can come up with some hilarious stuff. I consider him more political than an actor (or just a guy).

that's great. he's definitely smart. mensa for sure. i believe he dropped out of mit which is damn near impossible to get into
still an actor though

Ok got it.

No, you don't. Because then you say this:

quote:

your candidate would be Republicans In Name Only

---

If you "got it," you would understand that the primaries are the mechanism by which you make the candidate anything you want it to be.

Let's do it this way. What are the principles you want your candidates to follow?

Notice I didn't ask what positions you want your candidate to take with regard to specific issues. I asked for what principles you want them to follow.

In other words, what is a "real" Republican? Define it for me.

quote:

---

Principle of Small govt.

---

That's it?

Just that one criteria?

If so, you better explain what that means.

Because tariffs are bigger government, not smaller government.

"No tax on tips" style government picking winners and losers is not smaller government, it's bigger government.

The federal spending that Trump embraces is bigger government, not smaller government.

The federal government buying into private businesses is HUGE government, literal socialism, not smaller government.

So what does small government mean to you?

Just like old school professional wrestlers protecting the business.

The Republicans may not be the solutions to your problems, but the Democrats are the cause of your problems. Going independent just strengthens the troublemakers and they get exactly what they want.
