Why Conservatives Still Attack Trump

[Right_in_Virginia]

Whatever you say!  Revising history seems to be a very IN thing these days!

So I'm learning!

[DCPatriot]

As opposed to yours?

Playing the magnanimous poster does not belay your actual posting history since last year.

 :nometalk:


how am I doing, @Lando Lincoln ??     

[mystery-ak]

And truth be known, because not a GD single moderator is an avid Trump supporter, there will NEVER be a bias-free decision.

LOL...you are so wrong.

What did I do?

[roamer_1]

I am interested in winning elections.

You are not 'winning' anything voting for liberals.

@Applewood
Really?  Is that truly whats going on?   The Trump worship is mostly gone and only a few people are willing to overlook all the boneheaded stuff Trump does.   What many of us are tired of is the non-stop harping on every single little thing; much of it meaningless minutia.   Trump nominates a fine Judge to the Supreme Court and they still complain.    Then there's the thread on the hand slap his wife gave him during their recent trip.   

There are folks on both sides; Trump can do no right, and Trump can do no wrong.    Both are making this place a lot less fun.

I was not a Trump supporter and still don't like him personally but this constant Trump is bad is nothing but childish.  I just pass over certain posters comments because I knoww it's going to be the same song.  Not thoughful at all and very boring.

[DCPatriot]

What did I do?

Suggesting we try to hold fire and not escalate?

Nobody can communicate with @INVAR when it's about Donald Trump, or his wife....or even his children.

@beandog
The ignore feature makes it easier.

Why the big secret?

Who?

[Smokin Joe]

First of all, I'm not playing a victim.   I'm too old to give any sh*ts.

And I've responded on the level to which I'm addressed for going on 20 years.

And if you'd be honest, you'd see that the entire point is that when the dog-packs go after a Trump supporter and things escalate, it's only THEN...that the MODS come in.

And truth be known, because not a GD single moderator is an avid Trump supporter, there will NEVER be a bias-free decision.

If the mods are stepping in on behalf of Trump supporters that must be because they hit the button the most. I have seen a lot of crap go the other way and no mod stepped in.  Now maybe my perspective is a little different, being one of those who will criticize Trump and occasionally call him by one of the many various and sundry nicknames he acquired during the election, but I'd say there is a lot of modding done on behalf of trump supporters, and it appears to be fairly equitable overall. When did the mods ever come down on you that you didn't feel it was deserved? On anyone?
I think Myst does a great job, all in all and tries to be fair to everyone. Political opinion is one thing personal attacks another. The latter are forbidden, the former are free speech.
While "dog packs" are common in response to a particularly erroneous or unsupportable post, I have seen the dog-packs go after people here who don't support Trump,  for that alone. That might badger a few into the corners but most of us aren't going anywhere. So what' the point?

If there is a defense or point to be made by discussion, make it--without the personal attacks.

No they didn't. Conservatives were not behind Romney.

To his credit, at least Romney was for repealing ObamaCare and leaving it up to States.  The same cannot be said of Trump.

[INVAR]

Nobody can communicate with @INVAR when it's about Donald Trump, or his wife....or even his children.     

Care to cite the thread wherein I ever even discussed his wife or children?

But here's an idea - how about NOT mentioning Trump at all and discuss principles of Conservatism and whether or not a policy or position meets the criteria?

[flowers]

OK! I should have said "Except for all the times you did something similar... 

And beside that, ALL of this can be traced back to your demanding and being granted a SAFE space here! Simply the truth!

That is not true. She did not demand a SAFE space. That idea came from management.

[Sanguine]

Let me guess. You weren't a math major.

And, you missed out on charm school?

[Bigun]

That is not true. She did not demand a SAFE space. That idea came from management.

OK! I stand corrected and reiterate my complete distain for the idea regardless of where it originated.

[Cyber Liberty]

@Cyber Liberty runs in to protect/support Invar with a very sarcastic post.

If you are referring to the "log in the eye," I stand by that comment, DC.  I'd say that to anybody I think deserves it.

[Emjay]

Scale? LOL! You guys BARELY won... You drug his fat @ss JUST across the line.
that isn't scale.

In the mean time, TEA Party has overturned almost every office right down to dog catcher, in almost every state, across multiple elections...
THAT is scale.

No they didn't. Conservatives were not behind Romney.

No, y'all selected the worst possible candidate again.

Horse crap. It has *nothing* to do with hating the man.


More baloney.
Conservatives are the polar opposite of liberalism.
The reason they don't stand with you is because you are standing behind a NYC Liberal, mouthing praise for single payer health, obscenely unbalanced budgets, and crony capitalism.

Y'all say you are our ally, but you DO differently.
SOSDD. No different than ever. The first thing sacrificed once the win, is the promise toward principle.

I guess you thought you responded to my post but you totally misunderstood or mischaracterized everything I said.

Your post made no sense at all and I cannot find anything sensible in it to respond to.

[Cyber Liberty]

And truth be known, because not a GD single moderator is an avid Trump supporter, there will NEVER be a bias-free decision.

Do you have a list of all the mods?  Are you willing to share?

[mystery-ak]

That is not true. She did not demand a SAFE space. That idea came from management.

Partially true...and not this management...

Brilliant idea

[Right_in_Virginia]

Partially true...and not this management...

Not partially true @mystery-ak .... completely true.   I was assigned the role of moderator.  By you, if my memory serves.

[mystery-ak]

Why the big secret?

Who?

lol nice try....almost all the MODS voted and supported Trump...

[mystery-ak]

Not partially true @mystery-ak .... completely true.   I was assigned the role of moderator.  By you, if my memory serves.

I was forced to do it by the other owner...unwillingly as you may remember.....and was told to make you moderator again against my wishes.

[truth_seeker]

And, you missed out on charm school?

Whatever. Do you stalk anybody else?

[Right_in_Virginia]

I was forced to do it by the other owner...unwillingly as you may remember.....and was told to make you moderator again against my wishes.

Please, let the others know that this "safe place" was not my idea, it was not my doing and I got involved because you needed help with it and assigned the role of moderator.    Had you told me that my being moderator was against your wishes, I assure you, we would not now be having this conversation.  The issue would be moot.

But you said "@alicewonders needs help and you're it".

I would greatly appreciate it @mystery-ak if you'd take this undeserved monkey off my back, for once and for all.

Thanks.
