WHA-A-AT?

I actually agreed with Chris Christie's main points on reforming Social Security:.having it means tested and raising the eligibility age by 2 years over a 25 yr period. There really wasn't much substance otherwise...except it seemed clear Republicans are anxious to start another giant Middle East conflict and pay for it with tax cuts.

And i'm loving the embrace of the hard right's love for Trump's crass, callous remarks. Even when he flames out (and he will) women and Latinos will remember the cheers from the audience at his vitriolic vomit. There's a reason why the Republican brand is at an all time low.

Just low enough to control the House and Senate.

Mississippi gets as many senators as New York, South Dakota as many as California. So much for the Senate. And House seats have been gerrymandered to favor Republicans. If you try to deny that I'll embarass you.

Since obama became president the Republicans have won over 900 seats in the state legislatures. They have 31 governors & complete control in 30 states & have split control in a number of others. Gerrymandering has nothing to do with that.

I'll deny it. Start embarrassing.
It looks like Donald didn't appreciate Kelley's line of questioning. I don't think he realizes it will take all types of people to get him elected. If he alienates the female voters he will be toast. I think he will be yesterdays news in short order.

On a different note I wonder how much business he has lost or will lose because of his bombastic comments.

...Second, asking me a question like ,"do you respect those who would let a woman die rather than terminate a pregnancy? In the name of God." is a really, really stupid question to ask me, I'm pro-choice(which I've stated on here several times) and I'll tell everyone why...
I don't doubt that for a second, and I bet most "conservatives" here are pro-choice, and when it comes to members of their own family, I bet virtually all of them are.

But here's the thing. You guys are willing to vote for politicians who would impose forced-birthing on all women except those who have the funds to leave the country. Like Walker. And Rubio. And yes - Huckabee. And Jeb! - remember Terri Shiavo? And pretty much all the rest, right? And these American Talibans are even worse, because they would increase the need for abortions. In Florida supposedly moderate Jeb! took money away from intelligent family planning, and put it toward discredited abstinence only education. The original Taliban would be proud.

And other than starting another idiot war, what is the most momentous thing our next president will probably do? Appoint the next one or two or three Supreme Court justices. And if your American Talibans get appointed, there will be more back-alley and self-induced abortions. And I suppose you're cool with that.

I could have sworn the Democratics had control of both the house and senate not long ago....and lost it. If sweeping Republican victories is a sign of their brand being at 'an all time low', then the Democratic brand must be a notch below that.

You're from Texas, right. Here is an excerpt from a federal court filing by the former Republican Attorney General and CURRENT Republican Governor Greg Abbott of Texas:



And the Republican State Leadership Conference (rslc.GOP) is responsible for this:



That was easy!

Please see CowboyKell being embarrassed above. Thank you.
