re: The GOP handled Talarico perfectly

Did we handle Durham nc correctly too?

That creature ran unopposed for the primary. She'll get shellacked in the general while walking away with some good coin.

Trying to find and post stupid shite Crockett has said would have really had them stumped.

Well it might be easier to go after a white dude than a black woman.

Unless he comes out of the closest and admits he likes boys. Then the left will protect him

Only if Texas self immolates and nominates Paxton.

He has done a fantastic job of branding himself as a Christian centerist

Which is why everyone sat on all of his complete wackjob statements and are going to blare them nonstop now

This "christian" said that God gave Mary the opportunity to abort Jesus.

We survived thousands of years without prisons. The first prisons were in Mesopotamia, but only for short term detention. If you committed a serious crime they simply beat you or killed you. Maybe we need to return to that.

May be more like: Republicans don’t own Christianity

What the Republicans say Christianity means isn’t what Jesus says Christian priorities are.

I watched his Rogan interview, and there is a lot of things like saying Jesus never spoke against homosexuality, and there is no way to know that the things from the old testament that lead to that conclusion actually meant that during that period. He misses that Jesus not mentioning something explicitly doesn’t mean it’s morally irrelevant, especially when NT authors address it.

Appealing to ‘love your neighbor’ doesn’t nullify moral boundaries the biblical writers still affirm. Paul’s argument against homosexual practice in Romans 1 is tied to natural order thinking and the Mosaic law. You can't just say I only follow the red letter text when evaluating what is right or wrong.

He's pro abortion because he says Gen 2:7 says God gave Adam breath and so life doesn't start until we take our first breath. Michael Heiser had a good critique of this idea calling it "patently illogical" noting fetuses draw oxygen in the womb and also argues that ek in Luke 1:15 can denote location, strengthened by the presence of “still/yet” (eti), so the sense is effectively “still in his mother’s womb,” undermining the “only after exiting” reading.

Talarico also says that Mary had to give consent based on Luke 1, when clearly that isn't what the text says. Luke 1 is about (Incarnation, divine initiative, Spirit activity, Christology), and it shouldn't be used as a policy analogy. It's funny how Talarico doesn't like other misquoting scripture or using it politically for things it may not say explicitly, but then he turns around and does the same thing.

He tries to make a case that he uses science in his opinions and others don't, but constantly refers to the fetus as a part of the woman's body. Scientifically, the fetus only has half her DNA and is therefore a different being.

My friend Ken Paxton has more lives than a cat. Btw, Trump will pick the GOP nominee prior to the May runoff...47 expects the other candidate to leave the race and coalesce behind his choice to beat Talarico.

This guy is a certified whack job. It is truly amazing just how many people of the state of Texas are going to run to the polls to press a voting lever for him. I know these people. They are here. People need to be concerned.

Fact!
