Buckle up, ML!

I'm not likely to buckle up.

I'm more likely to move.

I don't like tyrants.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Feel kind of sad, he gave it the good fight.  Maybe sometime in the future, who knows.

Thanxs, I'll have to vote for somebody.


I'll probably be going that same route this year and voting Gary Johnson this Nov if, in fact, he is the nominee for the LP
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Not a drama queen.

A realist.

And yes, the party..... the one I was loyal to for 50 years....... is going to nominate a degenerate.  Never happened before.

Glad you're happy with the degradation of women, Mesaclone.

I hope you don't have a wife or mother.

I have both...and three daughters to boot. Two who are now grown and very successful young ladies, and another who's in a Gifted program here in Arizona. So you see, I'm not the boogey-man you seem to think I am...and neither is Mr. Trump. Not everyone who is ethical and moral is an Evangelical Christian. And our party cannot limit itself to leaders who only come from that background. Its disturbing that you see anyone not fitting your own profile as a degenerate. As for degradation of women, that's just plain ridiculous. The man has daughters who adore him and who are strong, successful women in their own right...how is that degrading?

check for yourself. Gary Johnson

Let's see: two term fiscally conservative governor of a purple state, vetoed a mountain of bills, successful businessman prior to that.  Gary Johnson it is.

A real damned shame. [...] the American people threw him under the bus. So be it. They made their decision let them live with it.

Actually, it is the trumpansies... more than Scam Wow himself who have insured I will not vote for trump.  Good job keeping that record going strong.

Cut your nose to spite that already-hidden face. 

And possibly hand the nation to the Commies in the process.

Nice....

It's kind of ironic that Republicans have been screaming for years that they wanted another Ronald Reagan.
But when it came down to it, they chose another Lyndon Johnson.

No

I'm just consistent in my conservatism. I don't get why the Trump supporters believe a big, intrusive, growing Federal Government will somehow work under Trump :shrug:

Don't give up hope, it could still happen. They will soon be harder and harder to find, though, so he'll need to do it pretty darn soon!

Yep, us little drama queens gonna be what we are.  Don't worry about us.  We're only a few, insignificant voters, and Trump will bring you the world.  You are correct, that you won't be able to find us.

... and not looking back.   Enjoy the fascist world that YOU just created, Mesaclone.  (hahha..hah...look at the "cruzer" going whacko - and it begins)

For small government conservatives...Hillary may just be the lessor of two weasels.

Ted Cruz drops out of presidential race



Its over, now we come together against Hillary.

No, #NeverTrump.  You think we will change our minds.  Think again.  Why would a vote for a loony tune like Trump?  The guy is nuts.  I still plan on writing in Cruz.
AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

I'm a conservative. I'm certainly not a Republican. And I most certainly will not be pulling the lever for Trump.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

We'll agree to disagree on Trump

You prefer authoritarianism

I prefer conservatism.

And neither are going to change the others mind regardless on how many times we post back and forth
