BS. If Jordan is elected speaker, it's only a matter of time before he does something (some kind of compromise, no doubt) that enrages these mental midgets and they move to vacate the chair, starting this process all over again.aTmAg said:

McCarthy is on a sinking ship. Its either put him in his own boat and let him sink just himself or elect them as captain of the Titanic and watch him sink the whole party.
I would hope the negotiations have moved on to the next candidate.

If you really wanted to gode the libs on, do this and then refuse any mention of his being Black. Say we put forth a candidate we could all agree on and who shows exceptional leadership - then say NOTHING else.Irish 2.0 said:

His name has been mentioned but in the context of prior Congresses before he retired to pushing up daisies.

Reagan didn't want to be president either. Yet he ran and won and was the best president in our lifetimes. Stop with that idiotic talking point.
Man you seem dense. My post about Powell was a joke and meant to make fun of the brain dead vegetable currently occupying the hologram oval office in the Exec Bldg.Im Gipper said:fka ftc said:It seems others got the point I was making.Im Gipper said:Can you tell us where you kept hearing his name brought up?

So you were talking about previously, not the current vote. That is why you keep hearing it and wonder if it has legs. Ok. . . .

Correct. Seems folks forget that Ford was put forth as a VP nomination to effectively serve as "co-president" but the deal fell apart and '41 was selected.VitruvianAg said:aTmAg said:

We're you around in the '70s or the even the late 60's?
Reagan was front and center on politics, he had his own radio show or radio spot like Paul Harvey where he talked national politics after his CA governorship. He made Ford piss in his pants at the convention before Carter beat Ford.
Reagan was not shy about wanting to President.

amazing that Boebert literally underperformed all the Colorado Republicans- she barely squeaked out a victory by 500 votes in a GOP district!!
and the lesson she learned was- go even crazier hard right and throw even more bombs around the political landscape.
brilliant!
at this point it's better to just vote for democrats against Gaetz and Boebert- at least we can avoid the embarrassment of having them in our party if they are going to vote as leftists anyway!

If Jordan does something that moves us away from liberty, then they should move to vacate the chair. That would be GREAT. That would ensure that he doesn't do something stupid.twk said:BS.

It's easy to unite behind buying votes with taxpayer money. It's hard to do the right thing. We should want people who strive to do the right thing. Not those who unite behind screwing over America.Quote:

After a while, yes. But before he was on a mission to support others who thought like him. He had no notion of running for president when he made his Goldwater speech, for example.VitruvianAg said:aTmAg said:

And that explains how we get the uniparty that created the swamp. Would rather have a democrat in office than somebody willing to fight for conservative values.LMCane said:
