House GOP fears retirement wave will lead to tsunami

[XenaLee]

No, I don’t.  How You do love to put words into other people’s mouths.  Mostly, I think, to try and obfuscate the fact that you have precious little to say on your own that’s worth saying.

Hey, don't blame others for the way you come off due to your own frickin words.

[libertybele]

That's right too, but by design. He points at them and says "They started it!"... and that actually is not true. He started it in his merciless destruction of Jeb.

Sympathy for the devil.

Oh, come on.  Jeb! destroyed himself before he even began.  He was a terrible governor for FL and was instrumental in pushing Common Core down our throats.  Common Core was a push to indoctrinate our children to Isam which is another issue all on its own.  Jeb! was involved in several 'land scams' while governor and lost a lot of support addressing Floridians in Spanish as well as his very liberal stance on ILLEGAL immigration.  He ran for POTUS because he felt that's what his mommy wanted.

Jeb! was one of the first of the GOPe candidates to fall, which came as a complete shock to the DEM party as they had placed their bets on a Clinton v. Bush face off.  Hillary's victory never happened of course due to Trump's victory.  Something that neither the DEMS or the GOPe ever accepted.

I’m not.  I’m pointing out that you made claims for me that I have never made.  I think it’s quite fair to blame you for trying to paint me with the same brush the MSM keeps painting Trump with.

I'm just agreeing with CL when he posited that you apparently approve of the harassment against Trump. 

Sue me.

[Cyber Liberty]

The more idiocy he blurts out, the more his opponents lash out, the more his base rises to defend.

As the World Turns.

And as he comes under what is seen as partisan attacks from the press and other Republicans, people who are NOT his supporters will start to defend him.  Nevers will call those people "Tumpies" even though they despise the man, as I was the other day.  One more turn of the world, and a turn of the stomach for good measure.  Trump does not get 100% of the blame for that hot mess.

[Bill Cipher]

So both of you are intellectual frauds who, for lack of an argument of your own, persist in falsely attributing positions to other people so you can then take a swing at them. 

So very liberal of the two of you.

I harbor absolutely no affection for any Bush, and I know  what you are saying. But nevertheless, Bush was the darling of the moderate wing who was, and still is in power. They too were expecting a Clinton v. Bush contest. And Tump utterly destroyed him. And the Bush family is royalty among the moderates. Of course Tumpy pissed em off... He pisses everyone off. It's what he does.

[aligncare]

Some of you remind me of my kids when they were little.  "We  can have meatloaf or spaghetti for supper."
"No, I want tuna casserole,"
"But, we don't have tuna."
"Waaaa... I want tuna!"
"But, we don't have any tuna!"
"That's what I want and if we don't have it I'm not going to eat!"

Where have I heard this exchange before? Oh, yeah, at my kitchen table a hundred times!

Yes, it’s too bad. Children are so self-centered they cannot even think straight.

What were we talking about again?

[XenaLee]

You're hilarious.   About as funny as SNL is now.

The truth hurts.  Too bad.  Put a bandaid on it and stop stooping to such stupid liberal tricks as trying to put false words in other people’s mouths.

I need to know more before I can decide....

What sides come with the meatloaf?

What kind of sauce is on the spaghetti?  Are meatballs included?

Sure he does. He loves chaos. He makes it happen. Two sides go to war and when it is done, he is free to pick through the rubble for treasures... Which he claims with a victory lap.

I am absolutely satisfied that I stayed far, far away from that tar baby.

Who care if Trump pizzed them off?  Cruz ruffled the Bush's feathers as well and rightfully so.  Quite frankly, Trump ended the Clinton/Bush dynasty as it was.  That was a win for the American people.

Bush brought us NAFTA which was detrimental to our country and he refused to listen to Powell when he was told to send troops all the way into Bagdhad.  Clinton later had his fingers on Bin Laden but turned tail. All led up to 9-11 and 'W' did take us all the way into Bagdhad and beyond and here we sit...

@Right_in_Virginia
You seem to have no idea that your 'judge not' statement is a ridiculous twisting of scripture...

As an aside, that is called 'wickedness'... Wicked, the twisting of wicks...

Carry on. I am certain ignorance will prevail.

You put the words in your own mouth.  First you said...

Boo-hoo-hoo!  Po’ widdle Twumpikins!  He’s such a saint.

Then you said...

Sorry, I should have said he is a Holy Saint!  He is a miracle worker, a god, worthy of fawning reverence.

Give me a break.  Half of what he’s had to put up with was his own damn fault to begin with.

Now why would anyone have to put false words when your OWN words speak volumes.

Reminds me back when we moderated ourselves.

So what? Are you under the impression that I am defending them? Not by any means.
Whether just desserts or not is not the point.

The point is that Tump destroyed Bush, pissing off the moderates... Then when the moderates retaliated, Tump stepped into his victim role, pointing at the mean ol moderates who were picking on him.

I can't believe all y'all can't see it. It's his shtick. It's how he operates.

IF you classify the 'moderates' as followers of the GOPe; certainly not a loss.  Not in the least.

And then you put the false words into my mouth that I approve of how the MSM has treated Trump.  Which I do not.  The mere fact that I don’t worry too much about Trumpy-boy’s feelings doesn’t mean that I approve of the attacks. 

That is your essential falsehood, and it ill-becomes you.

@roamer_1

Taking into account the Democratic agenda ...the out-in-the-open Leftist media, don't freaking tell me
that not voting or withholding your vote for Donald Trump as some sort of principled protest or conscience vote
gives you some sort of Papal Dispensation, etc..

You'd be viewed as an 'enemy', not as a principled Conservative.

You okay with that?

Don't know about you, but I'd rather follow Donald Trump into war...rather than say, Tim Tebow.
