McConnell, GOP Senate brace for Roy Moore

[txradioguy]

Then Dread-Scott and Prohibition were perfectly good, authoritative decrees in your book. 

@INVAR

I'd add Korematsu v. United States to that mix too.

[DCPatriot]

I think he knew that Strange would lose but wanted to return Strange's support of him. I think that Moore understood what was going on and will act accordingly.

I hope so.   Maybe that would mean that story going 'round that it was his son-in-law, Jared, who suggested he endorse Strange....was bogus.

Rush's take is the same as yours.   It was strategic and acknowledged Strange's base.

...still think Moore is going to get a couple a "Bridges to Nowhere...."  before this is done.

[DCPatriot]

HEY!

If you guyz don't play nice, I'm going to get @kevindavis to start another 'Homosexual' Thread......

...that'll 'feed' you for at least a few days.   

Before, it's locked.     

[Smokin Joe]

Ah....so he jumped off the street side.    The "damage" is where 'Wiley Coyote' landed.   

Well, no. But that excavator operator is one of the best I have seen. He  peeled back about 250 yards of road in a couple of hours and barely scratched the subgrade. He's the kind of guy we need in DC. He could have the sh*t off the sidewalk, on its way to Blue Plains in a side dump and barely leave the smell behind, and do it without scratching the concrete.

[INVAR]

Not following your thinking here.  Perhaps you should clarify your point so that it makes some sort of sense. 

You are going to have to explain a bit.   I'm not sure which of my arguments you are calling "leftist bullshit",   and don't worry about your "combat skills".   I don't.  :)

Hmmmm.......... somehow you took my direct response to Jazzhead - and assumed I was replying to you.

Nope.

Love an 'artist' doing his/her thing. 

The real skill...well, okay...NERVE, is to do it on a 45+degree grade.   I knew a guy who lost his life.  And it was HIS company.  IOW, you'd think he'd have been more aware of things.

Sorry to derail this riveting thread.

I worked with a guy who went backward down a hill in Montana in a D-9 and survived mainly because he stayed in the cage for all 7 rolls. He was working as a mudlogger in Wyoming by then and just never got back in a Cat after that. He still had wicked headaches from time to time, but he was a d@mned good hand. I never turtled anything bigger than a skid-steer, myself, but that was enough.   
(As an aside (moreso) there is a function in iPhones that will work as an artificial horizon/clinometer/tilt and bank indicator. )

... you Trumpers were expecting us to take 20% and be happy about it so your guy could get a WIN, any WIN.
   Even Reagan wouldn't have approved of the new Trump math, in spite of your modern day comparisons, which IMHO are just farts in the wind. 

None of the proposals were a 20% for "our" side.  Saying so does not make it true @corbe

[INVAR]

None of the proposals were a 20% for "our" side. 

No.  Since Reagan, they have been considerably less than 20% towards the Conservative side and more for the Democrat/Socialist side.

But hey - that's what you people call 'progress' - as the nation edges towards insolvency, insurmountable debt and currency/pension/insurance collapse and the power of the Beast squeezes what is left of our liberty ever-harder.

Enjoy your crumbs.  It's all you will ever get as you lick the palms of your masters and beg.

[DiogenesLamp]

Hmmmm.......... somehow you took my direct response to Jazzhead - and assumed I was replying to you.

Nope.

My fault.  I saw the mention of Dred Scott,  and so far as I know,  I'm the only person on the forum that has publicly stated that Dred Scott (as a matter of law)  was correctly decided.   It is an unpopular position,  and this made me think you were addressing me.   


My apologies.   


I removed my message. 

[bolobaby]

Nonsense.  Moore will be one more vote preventing Republicans from reaching a majority ..... so nothing will get passed and McConnell can rest easy.

None of the Republicans want to accomplish anything beyond keeping their jobs and TV appearances.

Yeah. It's a real shame there wasn't a leader in the White House who could galvanize them to action. Instead we have this buffoon called Trump. Sad.

You are blaming Trump for the fact that half or more of the Republican Representation in Congress has sold their souls to the Washington DC power structure?   

They voted to repealed Obamacare something like 40 times or so when they knew it couldn't possibly happen because of an Odumbo veto.

Suddenly you think their intransigence has something to do with Trump?   


It would not make a Rat's @$$ of difference who was President right now.   If Ronald Reagan himself was in the office,  our side would still not repeal Obamacare because they have become owned by the Washington Establishment-Deep-State-Crony-Capitalist power structure.   

[INVAR]

Jazzy likes to preach the legal and moral supremacy of judicial precedent as the supreme law of the land, as if 9 justices in black robes were vicars of infallibility.

My apologies.   

No need to do so.  I figured that you mistook my reply to our resident Leftist as a direct reply to you.

[roamer_1]

I removed my message.

Too bad. It was an epic rant... even though it was misplaced.

Too bad you removed it.  I read it before you did, and I thought it was pretty good.

Whatever helps you overlook this truth @bolobaby  --- we've got a conservative leader right there in the Senate itself.  He's a part of the body politic, an actual native son.  I haven't seen where he's moved one vote in his direction.  But for him we deem this to be a sign of heavenly principle, not an inability to lead, compromise and govern. 

So spare me your knee jerk hatred of the President, it's predictable and vapid.

Yeah!  Knee jerk hatred of conservatives is so much cuter.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Oh, do stop trying to be clever @RoosGirl   Here's my point:  If we don't blame the brilliant, principled one who shall not be named for not being able to lead the Republican Senate caucus...and he's their native son ... to meaningful legislation (and I don't), by what guiding light do you turn around and blame the President?  (Hint:  hatred is not a guiding light.  I learned that from the Bible.)

It's your hatred of the conservatives *here* to which I was referring.

[corbe]

   @RoosGirl   
   I get the impression @Right_in_Virginia is talking about Sen. Cruz the second most hated man in the US Senate, the first being her pride and joy~Trump.

*The* Sen. Ted Cruz?  Yep, I got that impression she was talking about Ted Cruz also.  Ted Cruz is the first name you think of when someone mentions Senate Conservative.  I can't think of any other conservative Senate leader than Ted Cruz.

Hey, did you know he was born in Canada?  Ted Cruz that is.  Ted Cruz was born in Canada.

Pointing out conservatives repeated political mistakes is not hatred @RoosGirl ... it's helpful...even hopeful.

I realize there are lots of dots to connect with this statement ... so I'll give you a moment to get your knee to jerk.

Thanks for giving me a moment, Richard.

I guess you no longer mind us pointing out the repeated political mistakes of Trump.  Awesome!
