Conservative Politics & Daily Events Discussion

Quote from WOLF

That is what Graham and McConnell are telling us.

yes thats what the media tells us

Quote from Edward Neal

yes thats what the media tells us

If by "media" you mean from their lips on video, then I agree.

Quote from WOLF

I have mentioned my values many times on here. No one party covers all of them and all parties hold beliefs I find stupid.

The question is, why would a person throw themselves into a label that for good and bad will define them?

being a centrist or a conservative or a libertarian does not require you to be aligned with a party - they are not the same - its like saying you have to belong to a church to be a Christian

If it were up to me there would not be any parties - - I think political parties only exist so that those running them can gain power

Heck I feel very similarly about most churches - its all about power over people - - - - not something I believe Jesus would approve of

Quote from WOLF

The most glaring moment during the debate was when Trump put to rest any thought that he may care about people.

For months Trump has put the economy above human life. You only need to look at his rallies, that have only gotten bigger since he had Covid, with no masks being worn because Trump says, "Covid isn't bad" and teases those that wear masks.

When asked, What will you say to those that live near oil refineries and fracking locations that complain of health issues, cancer, family death...?

Trump responded, They are making lots of money. They are making more money than they ever made when they were in charge(motioning toward Biden). They are making so much money now and have great jobs because of me.

You guys won't believe it, but that was the moment I stopped debating over who to pick.

As a side note. At work today I said, "I'm a centrist". A Democrat coworker responded, "No you're not. You're an antagonist. You just like to argue with everyone over everything".

I argued, "Is that not centrist"?

He wasn't amused.

if you’re a steel worker, oil worker, iron worker you know you’re trading your health for money....that said, it doesn’t make it right but that’s the reality.....you always have the option to flip burgers...people aren’t being forced to live there. There are other shitty neighborhoods they could move to that have cleaner air..

Years ago when everyone rode horses.....you had to smell horse shit 24/7 and when the rivers were the main transpiration vehicle ....The river boats burnt coal and wood.....everyone wanted to live by the river.....then when the railroads came in right beside the rivers...everyone built there big houses beside the dirty filthy tracks from the coal and wood burning engines.....then when dirty polluting cars came along Everyone wanted to live on Main Street.....now people are moving farther up the hill to get away from the noise and dirt....so from about 3-4-5 blocks above main street ....the property values have dropped All the way to the rail road tracks...now the valuable property is between the railroad tracks and the river again....the rich people now smell diesel fumes From trains and boat exhaust.....and they love it .....they know the risks...

Quote from WOLF

You guys should all vote for Biden.

This very long thread shows you enjoy bashing Democrats more than talking up Trump. Logic would suggest that with Biden as President you would have more to bash the Dems for. More of what you truly love to do.

Wouldn't that feel good?

"Vote Biden

I'll give you something to bitch about"

so you’re ok with all the lies joe is telling about not being corrupt and not going to kill oil and fracking, and you know the radicals will make him do it...and the if you like your doctor lies and if his lips are moving he’s lying lies....he’s a better liar than a career politician. You can’t line up 2 accomplishments he’s had in 47 years.....trump is the only no politician that almost every campaign promise he ever made....the only reason he didn’t get to all of them is the phony made up imaginary Democratic investigations...

Fair points though with politics, as is clear now days, it often leads to deep party allegiance.

I agree on the church thing. Especially when you see all these mega churches that claim it is to spread God's word. When it is mainly to get as many tithers as possible. They spread God's word and then pray on his subjects. Books, tapes, gifts...

Fixed it for ya’...

Example: A good wolf finds lots of prey. A religious wolf likes to pray and say a word of thanks before eating his prey.

This has been a Tripod public service announcement...

Quote from Edward Neal

I have to say I am getting very tired of all of this "Russian" BS

Anyone says or does anything for Trump and its "Russians"

Anyone does anything against Biden and its "Russians"

not only is it stupid, but it also shows that apparently the people saying this think we are all stupid

Edit - - I think blaming Russia is the new "The dog ate my homework" for those on the left and I think most people believe it just about as much as a teacher would believe the dog story

a distraction is a distraction is a distraction....the words used to describe it doesn’t really matter....you took your eyes off the ball and they achieved their objective....create confusion, distrust. Tell the lie long enough it gets more credibility if you don’t investigate And take it at face value you fell for it hook, line and stinker....

Many modern Unions could also be included on your list ......

Did you guys see the sea of Trump supporters at the Villages in Florida? Supporters as far as the eye could see!

I didn’t vote for Trump (the man) - I voted for the constitution. A vote for Biden is a vote for socialism.

thousands of mail in ballots have already been disqualified.....I’d like to see why and who they voted for.....I think the FBI should secure the ballots from the time they are cast until they are counted and then they should be stored for investigative purposes if needed...if legal citizens had a national voter ID with individual Identification numbers ....

The elections need to be the same rules and voting machines In every state....standardized procedures and protocols...not 50 different ways...and every governor can adjust them as they see fit to benefit their party. That’s BS...

Some times it matters and sometimes....well..

Dye and die

Dead and lead

Will and will (you)

Sow and sew and so

Not and knot

it’s amazing that so many foreigners learn English as a second language

It’s bearly mine

most of the arguments can be boiled to to asking people one question.

do you want to pay 21% income tax or 28%?
do you want to pay $2.50 a gallon for gas or $4?
do you want your utility bills to increase or decrease?

Do you want to live in socialism or Capitalism freedom?
do you want The freedom to own a gun or not?

Do you want your 401k to increase or decrease?
do you want to keep your job or lose it?
do you higher drug prices or lower drug prices?
do you want to financially support with Free Medicare and Social security 22 million illegal aliens or not?
do you want open borders or not?
do you want more police in your town or less?

Just a follow-up of Trump supporters in The Villages in Florida. Couldn't pass up this picture .
