What is there to like about the gop?

Tell that to Virginia and New Jersey.


Now you are being facetious. It was criminal trespass, assault on police officers, and destruction of public property. That's serious, just don't be ridiculous.


Hell no. You're deluded, not complicated.

Calling people deluded is a no no. I know.
 
Virginia and New Jersey did not elect Republicans = try fascist libertarians

Virginia = 14 electoral votes

New Jersey = 13 electoral votes

Yes fascist libertarian states as we speak. Which means KOCH/ALEC/AEGIS Strategic funneled plenty of dollars into those
campaigns.

Every time there was a continuing resolution McConnell would talk big and quietly concede.


That's business as usual, like Pelosi telling her people that there was an insurrection. They are just posturing that will not bear close inspection.

Which is exactly what it was, an Insurrection. They attacked the seat of U.S. Government, the U.S. Capitol, beat the security force there, threatened the politician's lives that were there to certify (in Joint Session of Congress) the Electoral College Votes for President because they believed a proven lie. They also urinated and defecated in offices and public spaces of the Capitol! And you support it!
The attack on the Capitol was based on proven lies ginned up by a con man trying to stay out of prison at all costs. What a bunch you are. There is absolutely no proof of election fraud with over 60 court attempts being thrown out a year later. Yet you people keep repeating it. It's a year later, it was a lie, get over it, move on, and most importantly: stop your lies!

Best oxymoron of the week.

It's especially good because the candidate advocating mandates was defeated.

Insurrection is what it wasn't. That's pure spin.

In reality the gop is not the party of law and order. In reality the gop is not the defender of fiscal responsibility. In reality the gop is not the party of family values. In reality the economy does better under the democrats. And finally contrary to popular belief among republicans they call themselves the party of the big tent and yet the gop and its base is ninety five percent white. The gop is against healthcare for all. The gop is against raising the minimum wage. The gop is against taxing the super wealthy or corporate america but are all for cutting taxes for both groups. The gop now believes in nothing, everything is rigged, the government is broken and the libs are destroying america as the stock market keeps rising and biden is outpacing trump on job creation.

Everyone can take a lesson from them in effective propaganda, public messaging, demagoguery, and gaslighting techniques. It's absolutely brilliant! They make Goebbels look like an amateur.

You are a party loyalist as is demonstrated by your words here. All elected officials who are endorsed by either major political party are lying thieves.
 
Jay59 said:
It is always a comparison in politics. Compared to Democrats, the Republicans are the party of law and order, fiscal responsibility, family values, and individual freedom.


That is exactly Democracy.


Thus sayeth the cult.


This would make more sense if the Republicans were the party of the elites, but that is the Democrats.


The projector is on.


That's it. When it comes to a choice of not so bad and worse, you pick the not so bad.


Irony does not work with true statements.

I can't answer this anymore. I was a Republican faithful for 36 years. I don't even recognize the Republican Party anymore. It doesn't really stand for anything. Just filled with anger, resentment, fear and hatred.

I was never a Republican faithful, but the hatred directed at Trump was not Republican. You are right about anger. Mandates are a short fuse issue.

The Ronald Reagan wing of the party adopted Trump. He did not create them but he did deliver for them. Take Trump out and they are still there.

The GOP is wonderful.

The GOP feels that our international "friends" should not give the finger to our immigration laws.

The GOP feels that violent criminals should actually be punished.

The GOP feels that all ethnicities should be treated equally, but none should be given SPECIAL privileges (such as entering universities simply because of who they are).

The GOP believes in the First and Second Amendments.

The GOP believes that there should be ONE national anthem.

The GOP ain't perfect, bur neither is that other political party that enjoys pitting Americans against other Americans.

add to that , the GOP doesn't make every fricking issue ever known to man about RACE, like that other political party and it's acolytes.

Can you point us to where I used the word free? Good for you and your 401k and screw everyone else who isn't like me and has made 'a nice balance'.

Why does the gop not complain about the one trillion or so we spend on the military each and every year?

because we need that military with an emerging China as a threat.

It's trolling like someone denying the sun comes up every day, because of, you know, actual proof.
It may have been Insurrection lite since they were too scared to start shooting, but the intent was the same since they did use violence toward their aim to stop the government from performing their sworn duty. Oh yes, it was most certainly trolling, or something much worse, like you actually believe what you said.

They lie to the racist morons, tell them their shit lot in life is not the Republican's doing, but that of liberals, illegals, people of color. That's all they do.

False. They lie and when it comes down to it, do nothing and then blame it on others
 
bongsaway said:
Of the two parties, Republicans are more likely to seek a bipartisan solution while Democrats are more likely to use the main force and dynamite approach.

Yeah I noticed that bipartisan approach of the gop as soon as biden took office. As a matter of fact I saw it in the house as most gop members voted against the infrastructure bill the other day. Saying no to everything the dems propose is being bipartisan?

Everything the right says is projection. Every single thing. So his post would make sense if you realize its projection

Just look at this thread, I haven't seen one factual, intelligent reason the GOP is good. It's all the typical troll talking points "he's not a democrat poopyhead" and look at Jay's projections.

Yes now it is insanity to actually address problems that Americans are facing instead of feeding them lies while you quietly undermine the majority and favor the wealthy. Why was the GOP passing trillions in tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations without a single Democrat vote not at least as "insane"as what the democrats are doing to help Americans?

And it worked!! the stock market climbed and businesses are bouncing back with a fury.The wealthy and corporations are what make the economy go!!Now the Democrats can redistribute that money to their rightful owners.
