Of course you do!

Everybody knows that Patrick Henry was a self-centered surrender monkey who would just go hide at home and sulk if he didn't get everything he wanted,right?

Of course not... But all you are showing is an ignorance of history.

Yeah,and refusing to vote for the  most conservative candidate running and allowing a globalist take over of America is going to balance the budget,huh?

Good thinking!

That must be why you are willing to allow Biden to get re-elected,right?

Uh, no.  I supported the candidate who opposed Biden's policies.  Yet you support a candidate that shares them.  Biden is giving Trump a good run when it comes to deficit spending.  It's a very close race.  Biden could possibly pull it off and beat Trump's debt number.  But it isn't for certain.  Trump still holds the record at a mind-blowing $8 trillion.  Even Obama is envious of that.

And yet, unless someone has a big, bright "C" emblazoned on his or her lapel, you're unable to recognize a conservative.

To the contrary... Big rhinestone 'C's seem to have replaced rhinestone 'R's.

No,you're not. You oppose liberal polities by voting for the least liberal candidate,not running home and hiding in the bathroom and holding your breath until you turn  blue if you don't get everything you want.

Got news for you bubba,NOBODY gets everything they want in a democracy.

What YOU and your cohorts seem to want is a police state on the right that doesn't charge YOU taxes,yet still seems to have the money to build roads,provide electricity,police,fire departments,an effective military,etc,etc,etc,and all it for FREE!

Liberal to the left, Liberal to the right. Conservatism under the bus. No sense in supporting any of that.

So in conclusion, this is what we’ve established

It has been proven that on social issues, Donald Trump tends to lean left of center.

On illegal immigration, although better than Biden, deported fewer illegal immigrants in his first four years then Obama did in his first four years despite he making bold claims of deportation in his 2016 campaign

Plenty has been said about his monetary and fiscal policy

On Covid, he was closer to the Democrats than many Republicans, both on a gubernatorial level and congressional level.

When an employer seeks to hire an  employee, he interviews that employee. He checks out that employees work record and background


We should do no less  for somebody running to lead the country, especially in these times

What part of '$8 TRILLION IN DEBT IN NEW ONLY FOUR YEARS' do you not understand?

And how about what that $8 trillion bought you?  A Democrat President, and a Democrat House!  And two years later, a Democrat Senate!

Look at all the money Joe Biden has in his war chest.  Look at how much money each of these Democrats will have to spend in November.  All of that came from this 'deficit spending' which you insist we should allow in the name of compromise.  You are all a bunch of fools for saying it.

Meanwhile, that $8 trillion is now $8.8 trillion, as we now spend $220 billion a year just to cover the interest on Trump's four years in office.  To hell with every one of you liberal bastards advocating more of that, all because we have to compromise.  No eff'n way!

I have over and over,but you are just too self-centered and selfish to understand it.

THE "Number One Rule" of politics is "You have to win or you can't do ANYTHING".


Define 'winning'. What does it profit a man to win the whole world but lose his soul?

Quote
This means voting for the most conservative candidate,not going home and huddling in your shack if you don't get to vote for  perfection.


No it doesn't. Not when there is no conservatism to be found. Not when there is no Conservative reason to engage.

I will go so far as to vote for a candidate that would do Conservatism no harm.... But that is not Tumpy. He does MASSIVE DAMAGE.

Quote
As a wise man  once noted,"The search for perfection is the enemy of the search  for good".


Not looking for perfection, so a poor argument.
Let's start from 'Not liberal'...

Quote
Guess what,bubba? You are those who agree with you are helping destroy America by  sitting at home and letting the DNC steal another election.


Nope. At most I am preventing mandate, which is awesome. But that is not the aim. The aim is to turn the Republicans to the Right. The agreement with Conservatives is that the Right (in the form of Republicans) would fight for the combined unmovable principles of the Conservative wing of the party - That is what formed agreement and coalition. That is what gives Republicans the ability to win.

The way the RINOs do it, is to split Conservatives, hoping to keep just enough of them to get over the line. So the rah-rah bullshit starts, and the promises from the stump, which mean nothing.]]

And now, Tumpy is moving LEFT - He doesn't need Conservatives. He wants to take Democrats.
So let him. I ain't represented any way anyway.

So the fight is for Conservative principles. If that ain't there - And it ain't there - then there is no obligation to adhere to Republicans and vote for their candidate. That is what I am doing.

If they want to win next time, they better give the Conservatives something to fight *FOR*

Otherwise, I have better things to do... Like point and jeer.

Quote
AND......,when this happens,I do NOT want to see or hear one single minute of your whining about anything they say or do.
