republican party

Ron Johnson says he thinks Senate could hold hearings on 9/11 conspiracies Because, of course. Something must be done. After so many years and presidencies.

There appears to be an ongoing debate over whether the CPAC stage was deliberately designed to resemble an Odal_(rune) or whether it's just a weird coincidence. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cpac-stage-nazi-symbol/ https://twitter.com/allisongill/status/1365390452824756224/ I'm sure...

I've mentioned my lukewarm feelings towards the Lincoln Project before, but I wanted to get some more insight. Who they are: The Lincoln Project is a PAC founded by a group of current and former Republican party members who have declared themselves anti-trump. They started out by dedicating...

I've presented this challenge in a couple of other threads; no one chose to take me up on it. I claim what the title says. For starters, I've never seen an American political party that so brazenly lies about such easily checked facts (and without a hint of evidence to support their position)...

I just heard that Will Hurd, the only black Republican in Washington, was retiring. Does this signify a big change in party composition? Or am I getting fooled again by ordinary political maneuvering?

Recently I posted this in another thread where it was off-topic. Minor editing to remove the first and last lines and correct a redundancy. I forgot the party of conspiracy theories. Birtherism. Pizzagate. Omar married her brother. QAnon. Hillary's health. Etc. ETA: And DEATH PANELS...

"“Should I stay or should I go now?” That question, posed by the eminent political philosophers known as The Clash, is one that confronts any Republican with a glimmer of conscience. You used to belong to a conservative party with a white-nationalist fringe. Now it’s a white-nationalist party...

for real: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/21/neo-nazi-wins-republican-nomination-for-illinois-congressional-seat-.html Where are Jake and Elwood when you need them? The Illinois GOP is getting hell from the NRC for letting this happen;conventional wisdom is you run a candidate in every...

For my entire adult life I’ve been a “Registered Republican”. Overall I think I’m socially liberal, or even libertarian, but fiscally conservative. In any case I’ve called myself a Republican, and generally voted Republican or abstained in the Presidential election as I did in 2008 and 2016...

GOP unfavorability up 7 points since June, 14 points since March. http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/354027-poll-gops-popularity-is-in-freefall

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/11/15/noam-chomsky-gop-most-dangerous-organization-world-history.html I can't see how he's entirely wrong. Not even ISIS has the power to make the entire globe less inhabitable.

Cut Ties To Trump, Big Donors Urge RNC (NY Times) It really is a day of reckoning for the GOP, exciting as all heck. Be held hostage by the Deplorables and do the bidding of the sickest politician in modern history, or cut them off and rebuild from scratch with the 25% sliver of the electorate...

He is the freaking nominee of their trash party and most rank and file Republicans and elected Republican "leaders" support him. So how could he possibly not be a Republican? Obviously, he makes them look bad, but that's their problem.

Hello all. In a further display of audacious self-immolation, the Donald is now trying to destroy both himself and the Republican Party. As for my opinion, I do hope that he succeeds at both since the Republican leadership is so full of stupid, idiotic, liars and about the best thing for the...

I could not find another thread on this and hope I didn't miss it so here is my comments and question. Given the fall out from the Trump candidacy. Are we likely to see major shifts in the Republican party? I can see trying to change their primary process to prevent a repeat of a candidate...

I think it highly unlikely, but it's the hot topic for speculation today. So who would benefit? Who would the R's nominate? Would it help Hillary, or would the R's do better than with Trump? Seems to me the fanatic Trump supporters would never accept it or vote for any other R. They'll just...

Thought that it might be interesting to have a list of these somewhere easy to find. Those I can recall and find.... Supporting No one: President George H W Bush President George W Bush Laura Bush Gov. Jeb Bush (FL) Gov. Nikki Haley (SC) Gov John Kasich (OH) Gov. Susana Martinez (NM) Former...

In the years ahead, how will the emergence of Donald Trump as a 'leading' Republican voice, change the party? Or will he have any lasting effect on Republican policies and beliefs? Some think he will. Others think Trump's influence will be short-lived. They envision Trump losing badly in the...

http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/papers_pdf/117717.pdf Just spent a little while reading through the Democrat's Platform. I could have done without all of the "Trump sucks" comments even though it is obvious to the most casual observer that Trump does indeed suck donkey *****. Below are a...

The repugnant racists rhetoric of the Trumpet has caused the first elected Republican office holder to leave the party. Iowa state Senator David Johnson has served in the Iowa legislature for eighteen years; on Tuesday he changed his voter registration from Republican to "no party". He compared...

Why is it still the unspoken truth or the great known secret that Obama is a muslim and a homosexual man? Michelle Obama is Michael LaVaughn Robinson. He was Barracks college roommate. Google the name and end your disbelief. The "daughters" were hand picked orphans from Morocco.

I do not intend this as a thread about the presidential election so I'm posting it here. However, with Donald Trump as the presumptive nominee, what will the future of the Republican party be like. I'm confident they will continue to exist but will their platform and policies changed...

The probable next House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is off to a great start. Seems he made a Kinsley gaffe: Now he is "clarifying" his remarks: Kevin McCarthy clarifies Benghazi comments :roll:

So sometime in the last week or two I was listening to NPR or its Wisconsin/Minnesota state affiliates. The show had on a Democratic woman legislator (though I can't recall from where) talking about women in politics. She mentioned how she decided to e-mail all the other women legislators from...

I want to apologize in advance. I have no love for these kinds of threads and consider them a low form of flame bait. However, I read this article, loved one of the lines, and could not find any good place to post it that would not derail the thread. So, I created a throw-away thread. Again, my...

CNN has a story about the National Republican Congressional Campaign's digital team's bright idea to create fake Democratic websites as a way of getting their message out. They bought up 100s of web addresses with names for lesser known Democratic candidates and put up sites that mimic the real...

ForAmerica, a conservative nonprofit group, told CNN Tuesday that it will push to get rid of the Republican party's current leadership team in Congress with a petition and digital advertisements. The group told CNN that they will run digital ads targeting House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio)...

It started with Bobby Jindal. He was the hot, young, ethnic Republican whose career was streaking for the stars. He was going to be the kryptonite to counter superman, Obama. Here was the Republican stepping out to steal Obama's thunder...right up until Jindal opened his mouth and removed any...

Yeah, it's not going so well for them...

Rubio Targets Fellow Conservatives on Immigration Ah, nothing like watching the frothing right-wing of the GOP/Tea Party eat itself. :popcorn1
