Republican Tuberville Headed for Big Win in Alabama Senate Race

[roamer_1]

Buzzzz..   15 minutes past, times up.  My conclusion:

(1) Your platinum standard of conservatism does not exist in the real world. 
(2) You've realized that when you tally the most utmost conservative senators, reps, and governors they support DJT 75-100% of the time.  And in your mind, you can't support anyone who agrees with Trump.
(3) Your TDS has consumed you to the point you are not thinking rationally. 

Horseshit. See my post above. Your 'timing me' is infantile.

1) Well, I was willing to vote for Cruz... All set to pull that lever.
2) I don't give a single sh*t who endorses who. I vote record.
3) I think I am among a very few that actually IS thinking rationally. FEAR is used to manipulate many.

So is your choice a $30T deficit with Trump, or a $50T deficit with Biden.  To me that is a choice.  Wake up man.

No, my choice is neither. Neither is sustainable. 30T will drive us into the ground. Heck the 15T  already spent may well drive it home, considering what has happened to small businesses, many of whom will not recover.

It is not snark. Your choice is between Marxist globalists or corporate socialist globalists. Go ahead. Choose.

As for me, I will not. I will give my endorsement to those who deserve it. That falls within the distinct parameters of principled conservatism, because within those parameters globalism cannot survive... And neither can Marxism/Socialism.

What is missing is opposition. The false choice is preventing opposition, as it has all the way along.

Marxism cannot exist without central control of government And corporate cronyism cannot exist in federalism, where a central government does not have the wherewithal to rule with summary decrees - The principles of Conservatism, of civil-libertarianism and fiscal conservatism wholly prevent all of it from existing. Ergo, it is counter-productive entirely to lend your endorsement to the continuation of anything else. Because in endorsing either current choice continues both, shading out the opposition which liberty demands.

My vote for a Constitution Party candidate, or my abstinence, either one, is better than endorsing the continued Kabuki theater, and promotes opposition. To BOTH. As it should be.

All Y'all are doing nothing different than the Bushies or the McCainiacs, or the Romneyites...  All hyphenated 'conservatisims' that eliminated principle things - And the things not done were the things that pushed socialism forward, without opposition... In fact often defended by the right.

And thus it comes, lauded in the cacophony raised by both sides, upending the very things that both sides stand for.

As I said, the only winning move is not to play. It does not matter which side wins - Liberty will suffer either way... What must come is opposition. REAL opposition, according to Conservatism's principles.

In that I will happily lend my vote, and my livelihood, and my treasure. ANYTHING LESS is doing nothing anyway.

Well let me ask you this. Besides Republicans and Democrats, the Libertarians and Green Party both have candidates in the race. Where’s the conservative candidate for president? Certainly if you build a better mouse trap the country will beat a path to your door?

We all know where the conservatives are. They’re residing in the Republican Party running Donald Trump for a second term as potus.

Not this one. Nor nearly anyone I know.

No significant disrespect intended.  I made my point.

What point is that?

[catfish1957]

There is no reason for two ultra conservatives like us to wage war, when you and I are generally 99.9% in agreement.
Let's just agree to disagree on this one.

Not when you have raised such a slur against my honor.

Both y'all are my friends, and I know we'll all still be in a month.

My error. I meant to ask, where’s the Conservative Party running a conservative candidate? I mean surely if the republicans are so bad, the country at least deserves its own Conservative party. Heck, democrats even have two parties, since Green Party is nothing but a home for the extreme environmental Marxist democrats.

I will be voting Constitution Party if I can... Or I will not vote the top of the ticket. Their principles are in line with what I believe. Ballot access prevents them in many states, including mine, though I have been unofficially assured they beat the deadline.

Jones's being elected in the first place was a fluke created by their successful destruction of Roy Moore, and nothing more.  I'll bet even Schumer knows Jones isn't staying in the Senate.

Which is why the RL keeps trying that witchhunt tactic.   Because, except for Trump and Kavanaugh...

it usually works for them.

[XenaLee]

Roy Moore didn't need anyone's help in self-destruction but you're right in that the only way Jones would ever have been re-elected would be in a rematch with Moore.  Once that was avoided Jones was officially toast.

Golly gee....

you sound awfully familiar.     

[XenaLee]

Bored?   Need something to do?    Maybe I can help.

Yes indeed.  These heated discussions have been had in the past and they will happen in the future.   And.... if we weren't allowed to have "heated discussions" here...

why the hell would we even show up?   

Somebody needs to remind a couple of the mods around here that this happens to be a "political discussion" forum.   And those do tend to get heated at times.... especially in the current (especially this last week) environment.

That’s right. It may be an uncomfortable or downright ugly scene, but it’s important if the goal is honest discussion. Let observers decide whose arguments were strong and whose were lacking. And I don’t mind a little salty language and hitting below the belt as long as it advances the point.

I draw the line when it becomes obvious that trolling is going on.  It's somebody's good fortune that I was on my cell phone when I saw the most recent Mod Report, because if I were on this good machine instead, there would be a time-out going on.  Somebody far more merciful than I am (right now) fielded the Report.

I've found that any thread with a lot of posts from roamer1 quickly deteriorates, as did this one.

I usually spend very little time in them.
(and of course, he's on the "forever ignored" list!)

I  understand the Huffington Post has some wonderful moderators. Don't know personally because  when I tried to post there I made ONE post and was told I was banned for life "because we don't want your type here."

If he's on ignore, then how do you know there are lots of posts from @roamer_1 ?

[corbe]

I'm gonna try and visit RoamerLand this year, I heard he put a new ride in.

I'm right next door in a bordering State.  Only a mere 650 miles from Missoula.

You were not alone in thinking that... @XenaLee

I just bit my lip, didn't want to stir up bad blood.
