No, it's a relevant observation.

Hate the Dems all you want (I currently do), but you have to admit- they circle the wagons and push their points across. There is no fragmentation (as of yet) on their side.

When the Republicans hold the majority, it's like watching a coalition of 2-3 separate groups banding together; constant bickering and infighting which limits what gets done. You give the Dems a 1 vote majority, and they will vote unanimously most of the time.

They certainly are competent in getting their people in, whatever means necessary. They are not competent at leading this country to prosperity and peace.

That's not their goal.

It's what we want from our government, but that's beside the point.
They do a great job of presenting a united front, of pushing their agenda across, of continuously chipping away at Republican/conservative strengths.

We saw the folly of Republicans in Louisiana choosing to vote only for their guy; despite having the majority, they lost the governor's seat to the Dems. Until EVERY Republican group acknowledges that is worse than not winning themselves, we will continue to see things seep left.

Why do you think that is? It's because half of the Republican base still wants to give money hand over fist to Ukraine. Half the Republicans are politicians first and Rhinos second. They're not Conservatives

I give you more credit than to think you find amusement in something that exists only in your head.

I'm wondering how Scalise as speaker is a step in that direction.

You won't be disappointed if all we do is trade Scalise for McCarthy?

There’s no benefit to passing legislation, most of the money now is small donations from internet extremists who don’t care about legislation, they just support extreme views.

Jesus Christ you people aren't serious. my definition of extremist is people who rape and parade around dead women in pick up trucks. behead people using a garden hoe. you must be a very privileged retard if you think using the system of democracy-so its called-is extremism.

Are you trying to say the only majority rule needs to be followed? the systems put in place is meant to disrupt majority rule. as it should. we are not a democracy.

You align with extremists.

There’s a straw man, as I never even implied that I wasn’t.

But, curiously, you brought up gender in a conversation about the speaker of the house.

Do you want me to copy and paste your list from earlier in this thread or do you have yet another straw man for us, professor?

You brought it up. I figured you might have had a more coherent point.

You fooled me yet again. You’re too clever by half.

Keep wondering, I am a conservative, but I am pissed at the GOP House because they never miss a chance to frick up! I’m just pointing out that they can’t get their act together and are handing the House back to the Dems. The Dems are more disciplined and don’t create circular firing squads. I didn’t say they weren’t evil, just that they are better at running things than the GOP.

That’s what we will hear from the Dems and the media. Are they wrong?
