You sure have been more willing to let people know your feelings on sexuality and children.

Although, I’ve had the impression for a long time something was off

“RINOs” (the largest group)


You see, in Hank's mind, he represents the larger share of the Republican party... The ones that aren't Republican at all

It is almost like you are totally incapable of reading and understanding standard American English.

No, I am part of the FOURTH largest group in the GOP coalition. The group that the GOP is doing its best to drive out. The right-leaning, small-L libertarians.

We are only about 10% according to most polls, but good luck EVER winning a statewide office without us.

but “yes,“ those you call RINOs do in fact actually outnumber you. They out-contribute you. They out-campaign you. That is why they are represented in Washington to a far greater degree than you.

Yeah, that was your problem before. Way, way too nice to folks.

I don't know why you pretend that you want discussion here, as there's only one reason you would post your first post in this thread. You didn't have to say anything; nobody had mentioned you, it wasn't your topic. You weren't responding to someone who'd called you faggiehank or a cuck. But you go head first with the "I'm above it all" act and you did it so you could get negative responses. You know it, I know it. And that's fine, I just don't get the act. You want to be combative as hell and troll, so do it and quit pretending that you're really here for discussion. Absolutely nobody buys it and it makes you look a bit unhinged.

No. You aren’t a libertarian. The leftist pretending to be libertarian is one of the oldest, easy to spot lies on this site.

OK

Overall, 77% of Americans surveyed support family-initiated ERPOs, and 70% support them when initiated by law enforcement, according to the survey, which was conducted before the recent Texas and Ohio shootings. There is broad support among Republicans and gun owners for these types of laws, the poll found. Two-thirds of Republicans and 60% of gun owners support allowing police to seek the court orders; higher percentages — 70% of Republicans and 67% of gun owners — support allowing family members to seek them.

Roughly 1 in 7 respondents "strongly oppose" red flag laws, according to the survey results. That's higher among gun owners: 24% percent of gun owners "strongly oppose" police-initiated ERPOs, and 20% "strongly oppose" family-initiated ERPOs.

I wonder if these election deniers are really as stupid as they present themselves to be or if they are just willing to destroy democracy to get their way ?

I honestly do not know, because the Dems are worse.

I suspect that most of us stay GOP, try to steer things in a sane direction to the extent possible, and hope that the villagers and their pitchforks eventually go home. Mindless mobs tend to have a short attention span.

"Americans" != Texans. But futher, why didn't Cornyn campaign on "red flag" laws, if they're so popular with TX republicans?

I suspect that he chose to focus upon larger issues that were more important to more Texans.
