How long has it been since a reasonable Democrat had a leadership position?

So, my nod towards the Hoover Institution’s analysis regarding a bipartisan effort to balance the budget makes me a liberal pretending to be a conservative? Oh wait. Maybe it’s because I don’t believe the 2020 election was stolen. Or maybe it’s because I think Gaetz is a sleazeball and I don’t want him to be AG. Or could it be that I don’t believe Hegseth is qualified to be DEFSEC.

You do realize that none of those have anything to do with political ideology? They do have everything to do with blind party loyalty.

In the eyes of both Democrats and Republicans, it’s 100% lockstep or nothing. Well, I don’t roll that way, and I won’t be bullied into submission. :rage:

I say keep at it with being a form of opposition. You’re no perpetual-loser-cat-lady/boy, so you’re already a massive upgrade over the trash heap on leave. :wink:

I don’t see myself as a form of opposition. I just enjoy a lively back and forth discussion. Within that context, I tend to focus on those discussions where I have disagreement - whether it be with those on the right or with those on the left. I tend to avoid those discussions where we all spend time slapping each other on the back in total agreement.

your nod giving credit to Mitchell (D), Foley (D) and Clinton (D). Yeah, lib. Exposed.

Yep! 100% lockstep. Republicans simply can’t be seen giving credit to any stinking Democrat. Boo. Hiss.

100% lockstep, you gave credit to ALL democrats. The very ones who fought Newt and Kasich’s efforts which actually did balance the budget. You are exposed, partisan democrat and a lib

And all the while not bouncing off the walls like a complete (D)umbass while articulating your points. It’s not the norm, but nice for a change. :wink:

There is nothing bipartisan about Mitchell (D), Foley (D) and Clinton (D) and it was their liberal policies that led to Newt (R) that led to a balanced budget which they fought.

neither do I, but then again, I also did not support the lawfare the leftists made out of it

agreed, but I’m not the one pushing fatasies about whats in an ethics report I have not seen

I’m not convinced he is, but then again, I don’t want a SECDEF who in a best case scenario admits he paid blackmail

No one in the Biden adminis qualified to be a department head. Not just the freaks, but look at the outcomes. Open borders and endless wars. Heading to WW3 and very high energy prices.

And as I said you can’t elect dems who talk moderate because they will go along with the neocon warmongers and open border globalist. The late term murders and the child mutilating doctors.

Neither am I. I have stated on numerous occasions that I have no idea what’s in it.

I never said there was. I’m simply accepting the Hoover Institutions’ theory on how the budget was balanced. They implied it was a bipartisan effort, not that Mitchell, Foley, Clinton or Newt themselves were bipartisan.

Hell, I don’t consider myself to be bipartisan. On most topics I’m a staunch conservative. But I’m also a pragmatist and a realist.

Neither did I. They attacked Trump relentlessly. In my opinion they did that for the sole purpose of damaging him to the point that he wouldn’t be able to run for President in 2024. But once again, they failed to realize that kind of crap only invigorates Trump and makes him stronger.

I often wonder if Trump’s supporters would have been as energized had DEMs simply left him alone. :rofl:

Hegseth will have a chance to explain his reasoning. In the end, I still believe his lack of experience will be his undoing.

I did no such thing. :wink:

Truman was not bad.

Mike Mansfield was another one.

Tulsi Gabbard.

Joe Manchin.

after stating what it is they are investigating, which you have absolutely know idea of.

“may have”. words have meaning.

Yep! You asked what was being probed. I produced a statement from the Ethics committee. I believe we are done. :+1:

Manchin always sold himself out to party in hopes party would return favor…which never came.
