Why does it bother you that people want to hold the person they voted for accountable? People should be just as "tough" on the person they elected to represent them as the person they didn't vote for, if not more.


If this happened more, we wouldn’t need Trump to move the needle. If all this results in is the local constituency raising the bar required for elected republicans, it’s a massive win.
quote:

Maybe so, but Trump groupies are spineless insufferable tards.

It’s more generalized to anyone who puts their full support behind a candidate, and not the actual policies that candidate is porting.
quote:

You thinking you are not is what is truly hilarious.


Two things: Describe neocon, and point out where I supported those positions. I’ll wait.
quote:

What do you call people who lap up and defend neocon policy positions?

If they hold all of them, a neocon. What about when they only hold some of those positions?
quote:

Trump is. So are his loyalists.


Ehh, I wouldn’t go that far. The problem is that a lot of the people in his inner circle are definitely neo-cons. That’s why his policy positions are moving that way.
quote:

I really love it when neo-cons get to tell the rest of us what a RINO is and who is and who is not a real conservative.


You think I’m a Neo-con? That’s hilarious.
:lol:

(I found the reversal poignant, for all those downvoters.)
quote:

Oddly, they go much harder on conservatives than libs.


Trump has more political pull on republicans. The problem isn’t that he’s harsher on republicans, it’s that he’s not targeting more of the RINO’s in primaries when he is one of the biggest and best levers to actually replace them with, if not actually conservative, MAGA replacements.

Pretty sure I mention that in the thread, already. I understand your confusion, though. I should not had stated reelected. He just wants to stay on the path to riches and rewards of public service.


I don’t have a particular problem with staying on the path to riches if they keep serving appropriately. We do a lot worse than Chip Roy not just around the nation, but in Texas itself. Last I saw he wanted to use the seat to demolish the Muslim enclaves in the state. Can’t say the same of the rest of them.
quote:

Chip Roy is in trouble in his bid to be reelected. Is this his hail Mary? I thought the house already voted on it, anyway? No?

Pretty sure he’s running for attorney general of texas

The wife agrees. She was educated in former Yugoslavia. She then attended some classes here after she got here. She tells me all the time that modern American college is a joke compared to other nations. Students learn very little.


Here’s where you wrong. They learn exactly what the university is trying to teach, and they are very optimized for this.
This is moot, as if you get down to it, there is no basis for their beliefs. Their morals are completely subjective. Thankfully, they have some backing in Christian ethics because of western culture, but they cherry pick what they don’t like.
Good to see that the Wilson’s are starting to make waves now.
quote:

if they are laying mines, wouldn't that help us control any traffic going in or out? if they want to lay mines, doesn't that mean that they want it closed to all vessels? who has control? this is so confusing.


The first thing Iran did after their leadership was annihilated was to lob missiles at all surrounding nations.

That is not the actions of an actor that is acting in reality. They are more focused on what needs to be done for their religion over interacting in the world in a logical manner.
quote:

I don’t need to define eligible voters for you because it’s not a hypothetical. We have established voter eligibility parameters in the USA, and I’ve made no argument to change them.

:lol: Of course you don’t. If you did, it’d blow up your entire canard. Eligibility describes the attributes that allow someone to vote. This entails that we don’t let people vote… already.

Go spin your wheels now. Your entire position is a contradiction.
Still waiting for you to define eligible with respect to voters.
quote:

Sounds like a problem for education to solve


Ahh, education is the cure for stupidity. We just need more schooling! That will surely cure it all!
quote:

Eligible voters. Really man?


I can’t believe you’re restricting their right to vote! You authoritarian! I can’t believe you want to control the right of 10-year olds!
quote:

The founders wrote the constitution so that rights could be expanded & they have been over 250 years.

That is quite the assertion. I’d argue the exact opposite. What rights would the heavily Christian society that we had propose that we didn’t when they founded this country? The populous right to vote is not anywhere close to what they wanted.

quote:

You want control. You’re an opponent of freedom and representative democracy.

Again, an assertion. Why is anything beside a representative democracy against freedom? Why do you need the right to vote to be free? The entailment suggests that America was not free until the 1970’s when the 19th amendment was passed.

quote:

You claim to champion fairness and democracy but in reality just want to rig the system to suit what you personally think is right.


This the best part. You think democracy doesn’t do the exact thing you accuse me of wanting. What we’ve done is allowed millions of people who can’t even keep themselves on time for work determine the course that we all make. Not only that, but those same people are completely willing to be bribed through government thievery. That’s what they vote for.

Now tell me, does the current government that locked you in your house for a year because of Covid make you feel more free?
