GOP "too dangerous" to run Congress. I think it's going to get even more fun as their polling numbers continue to tank...
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dems-gop-too-dangerous-congress-midterm-pitch-voters
-
Didn't they tried that tack in Virginia?
-
Not really.
They tried TRUMP! THE REPUBLICANS ARE TRUMP! ALL TRUMP ALL THE TIME! TTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
Worked really well for them.
This note from the DCCC appears to have learned something from that debacle. Trump isn't mentioned once in it.
Now they're just painting with the widest possible brush.
-
Didn't one or two of them also double down on schools deciding what is best for your children and the hell with what parents think? I heard someone suggesting that issue was a big part of the swing in voting.
-
As far as the left and dems are concerned GOP = Trump.
Yes we know different but I like to think CNN & MSNBC don't tell us what to think here.

yes, McAuliffe pretty much doubled down on that, and that turned a LOT of parents against him.
But that happened in September at the last debate.
At that moment Youngkin was still a point or two behind and IIRC it had been pretty stagnant for a few weeks.
That means that McAuliffe, who had been playing the Trump card the whole race to that point, had stalled with that messaging and was, in fact, losing ground on that message. Polling after the election pretty much showed that no, people were no longer recoiling in horror at the spectre of Trump because, well, he's no longer in office...
But when Youngkin took McAuliffe's statement on parents should get no say in what their kids are taught... well, we all know how that ended up.

Dangerous? Be careful...

The next Governor race in Texas might be more interesting than I want it to be. Gov. Abbott hasn't been bad, but he wasn't great and kept COVID restrictions around just a bit too long. The joke is to look at what Desantis does and Abbott will do it 3 weeks later after running it through focus groups. I hear that Allen West was thinking of running against him, but he just strikes me as Mr. Establishment and hasn't been elected to anything in years. Not sure who else is running, but some may think Abbott is vulnerable. Once all that is done, Beto is an after thought. I can't see how his antics while running for President will help him here in Texas.

Maybe he thinks that despite Texas' best efforts, the Feds will enable voting by illegals in the next election . . . combined with the votes of Kali transplants, that might be a problem for the Lone Star State.

Are they worried? Maybe
Someone asked me at a party the other night how worried I am about the future of the United States, and my response was “I’m not saying that you will need to use this plan. But it is a good idea to have a plan to relocate to a democratic nation where you speak the language.”

A note to Democrats who blame progressives after losing an election:
Forcing millions to start paying student loans again and cutting off the Child Tax Credit at the start of an election year is not a winning strategy.

"But there's no proof of voter fraud."
To which I apply the following logic
There is no proof without evidence.
There is no evidence without investigation.
There is no investigation without suspicion.
But suspicion without proof is paranoid.
So much for the suspicion. Accusation of "paranoia" is a very effective way of stifling things. They sure wrapped that up in a nice little package.

Biden using the "party of 'No' " line to dig at Republicans for 2022. The same guy who said "no" by reversing everything Republicans did from 2016-2020 with the most EOs in the history of EOs.
"I want to tell my Republican friends: Get ready, pal. You’re in for a problem," Biden said, explaining that Republicans are "against everything" and challenging the crowd to name something the GOP is "for."
Also, he's "The perfect President".

That moving to another country thing has been going on for a long time. They never seem to do it. Either they must be figuring out that the grass isn’t any greener or discovering it isn’t that easy to emigrate to another country. Most countries are much more strict about immigration than the US is, even most of the shithole ones.

The Republicans will probably win a bunch of seats. They will proceed to do nothing conservative, just like they have done every other time this has happened in my recollection.
I have been told Newt Gingrich's congress was different, but I can't recall that.

I don't know how much different it was. Mainly it was the last Congress that came real close to balancing the budget. Then the media placed a giant target on his back and did negative stories day after day. The Republicans did like they always do and thought getting rid of Newt would make the media be friends with them again. Newt was not perfect, but he was better than a lot of others. Of course, we also had Dick Armey and Phil Graham and a host of others in leadership positions, many of which retired around 2000. Through the 2000's, the Republicans sort of abandoned the "Limited Govt" principle completely.

Many of the Ds and their MSM allies are screaking this will be the last election if the Rs gain control of congress.

You don't have to go back that far. Plenty of people said that before, during & after the 2020 election. People say that about every election.
Eventually they will be correct but probably not this time.

The D's will concoct a reason to get Veep Harris to resign. Then the shadow government that is running Biden will get Michelle O appointed as VP. Then the D's can shed themselves of Biden, which will be after the midterm control of congress by the R's, and Michelle O will become president with her hubby in the background pulling her strings. That way we get 10 years of Barak II because everybody just loves Michelle.

Related, Biden has just said that he'll be running again in 2024 because "nobody else can beat Trump". Trump running or not aside (personally I don't think he should), electoral votes in the last election were close. Even if you call it a fair election, it was close. With Biden's current numbers, how does he think he would have a chance in hell? I think Arizona for sure, where it was close last time, will go R this time, just because of immigration if nothing else.
I know that some here have a problem with DeSantis, but if DeSantis runs in '24, he will run circles around Biden.
-
I really hope Biden runs again. I doubt it. We all know Biden is really stupid. But I don't think the rest of the party is as stupid as he is.
And I really hope Trump doesn't.

I don't think the party cares about how stupid Biden is. All they care about is whether he (or anybody they champion) responds correctly to the puppet strings and uses his pen in line with "company policy."
I'm still sorta dreaming Trump will pull a Hillary and establish residency in a very red state, run for Congress or the Senate, and use his powerful voice there to frustrate the Lefties.
If I'm in a really deep dream, I have him replacing Romney. Nice to wake up with that pleasant fantasy coloring my breakfast routine.

I've never considered the procedure for replacing a VP partway through a term, but my first thought was that the Speaker of the House would become VP; it shouldn't be possible for the VP to be an appointed position since it's next in line for the Presidency.
A little websearching and I find that the 25th Amendment addresses this, and I also discovered that evidently Gerald Ford was effectively unelected to both the office of VP and President, which is more than a little disturbing. Yes, the House and Senate voted on him being appointed to VP, but 1 year later he took the office of POTUS as a consequence of Nixon's impeachment. He was House Minority Leader at the time. The Speaker was a D.

It wasn't a consequence of Nixon's impeachment. Nixon resigned from office to avoid being impeached.

The best thing that Trump and DeSantis could do would be to announce their candidacy on the same stage, at the same time, and each say that the other will be their VP.
Then shake hands, announce that they will be a team, and will have the best non-governmental minds on hand to clean house.

“It would also embolden, uh, Republicans and the far Right and white nationalists across the country to begin to believe that it is their time to not just take power in the House, but the Senate, the White House, and state houses across the country. And we gotta understand that this is a group that has been radicalized by the Great Replacement myth and many other things and have been pushing for violence and pushing for even civil war. So that is what’s at stake right now in terms of this election.”

He says the "Great Replacement Myth". What about the "Great Switch" myth where all the racist Southern Democrats suddenly switched parties at some point? At least conservative conspiracy theories have some facts at the core.

The "Great Replacement Myth" is obviously true. Of course the government is doing it best to make white people a minority as quickly as possible. Non-westerners are far more tolerant of abusive, corrupt and authoritarian governments than western whites. Our government elites wants a population that will never vote it out of power. Or be able to overthrow it with arms for that matter.

I give a damn because the collective mass of sexual immorality (heterosexual and homosexual) has rotted our whole society,. Over 40% of all kids are bastards. The media has become a freak show. I saw a freaking tranny on stripper pole on an advertisement the other day. Sexual perversion is being preached to children in the schools, the comic books, and TV. It is being progandized by most major companies and almost every education institution. The government glorifies perversion publicly. If you disagree, you are an evil bigot who should be fired, shunned and shamed, and your religion is monstrous.
I want to raise my children to be Christians, get married to actual members of the opposite sex, stay married, and have their own legitimate children. Not end up as castrated, perverted freaks.

We will see what most people think about all that in November (as far as politics is concerned). Personally I think most people see this stuff, can't do anything about it, and just go about their lives. However, I think we are seeing some push back ramping up. We will see where that goes.
Marvel Comics and DC Comics are owned by Disney and sales numbers are way, way down from even 20 years ago. Most of the transitional entertainment venues are owned by a few leftists corporations or groups. IMO, the best thing we can do is cut those off and look for other avenues for entertainment to fund. Daily Wire is trying to set up an alternative with the movies they are making. I think we are seeing the beginning of push back. Marvel and DC comics sales numbers are extremely low compared to decades ago. Most people don't like what the leftist writers are doing. If you follow YoungRippa59 on Youtube, he is working to start a new comic book publishing company with new heroes and stories. I think he is getting ready to roll it out soon.
Locally, I interested to see what comes up in the Texas Legislature next Spring. I wouldn't be surprised to see some laws against drag shows come up along with sex change medication/surgery for minors. Some will push gun control due to Uvalde, but I don't expect that to go anywhere. I am curious if there will be more push to encourage more teachers to be armed.

For a few, it was deliberate. But when you talk about vices, people are naturally tempted by those things. If fewer people learn to control their vices, things will eventually go downhill on their own.

Texas Sen. John Cornyn booed by crowd at state GOP convention while negotiating gun control bill
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/texas-sen-cornyn-booed-crowd-state-gop-convention-negotiating-gun-control-bill
Texas Sen. John Cornyn got booed by attendees at the state's GOP convention on Friday over his involvement in negotiating a bipartisan bill focused on gun reform and mental healthcare after recent mass shootings in America.
Video in the link.
Uvalde happened after the primary vote so he is the candidate in November. I have no idea who is running against Cornyn in November. That says something. If it was someone halfway well known, they might have a shot at winning. At this point, I think I will skip that race when I go through the ballot.
I hope the other GOP Senate races look better, but I don't know who is up for election and where. Only need a couple to get the majority. More would be better so the squishes aren't in control.

Not that it can be controlled, but in many ways, it would be better to have a "red wave" in 2024 rather than now. Usually what seems to happen is that a midterm red (or blue) wave comes in, then it is moderated with a new president stuck with a majority from the opposite party after the following presidential election.
Though we do often make the argument here that gridlock is the best option. =)

Media Pundits -- Don't let gas prices or inflation influence your vote in November! That would be wrong! WRONGGGGGGGG!
https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-wapo-abc-figures-warn-voters-against-gas-prices-influencing-vote-november
You have GOT to be kidding me!
""The president does not have some super-secret special dial on his desk that can adjust gas prices, but many voters believe otherwise," (WaPO columninst) wrote."
I guess that "I'm going to stop the Federal gas tax dial" isn't such a big secret then! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
She completely forgets.... no, she's completely ignoring the inconvenient truth that St. Barak, First of His Name, the Glorious Obama, once told us with gravitas and certainty "You can't drill your way to lower prices!"
And yet, that's EXACTLY what America did.
And, as I have repeatedly said over the past 2 years, Biden is on a mission to PUNISH the United States for having the temerity to prove St. Barak 100% wrong...
And that's what these idiots don't want us to see.
-
IMO, the President does not have a "gas price dial". IMO, it is more like an economic brake or road block on the energy market. The executive branch controls permits for oil leases, oil drilling, and all sort of other environmental restrictions and distribution restrictions. All the President has to do is take his foot off the brake and let the market move freely.
-
Really makes me wonder what sort of tune these pundits would be signing if it were a Republican in office in similar economic times...
Oh, silly me, we ALL know what the tune would be...
VOTE THE RACIST, FASCIST BASTARD OUT! HE'S CRUSHING YOUR ECONOMIC HOPES AND DREAMS! IT'S HIS FAULT, PERSONALLY!
No real mystery there.

You completely missed the point. He introduced the bill when he knew the D party is in control and would immediately bury it, so nothing would get done, and the D party is also holding it up saying "see, they want to ban abortion" to their base, which is the one issue that will bring them to the polls. Graham couldn't have picked a worse time to introduce that bill, unless his objective is to try and lose the election so the R's can play controlled opposition again.

I am sick of people willing to let millions human beings be killed for the sake of political expediency. Oh, no, we can't let people think we are opposed to pulling the arms and legs off babies! That would be horrible! They might not vote for us!
I have heard many "conservatives" say they are fine with abortion because it is mostly the babies of liberals that are being killed. Now we aren't supposed to be pro-life because killing people in the womb is popular with cold hearted moral defectives.
I saw my son at 20 weeks gestation moving around and yawning in my wife's womb. And a huge percentage of people think it is okay to kill them!

There does seem to be an obsession with a certain percentage of the human race in killing babies "for reasons". They are more invested in the killing of born and unborn babies than most people are in the protecting of babies. Since abortion was undemocratically foisted upon the USA the country sort of accepted it, at least more than it was before our black robed civic priests declared it the law of the land. I'm thankful for the folks who tirelessly worked to get Roe overturned, all I ever did was vote. I'm still flabbergasted that the court kicked it back down to the states. I'm also happy that I know live in a state that has eliminated it in over 90% of the cases.
This obsession with killing the unborn/newborn isn't anything recent, it's been going on throughout human history unabated. Like war, it's ubiquitous.
-
I have heard many "conservatives" say they are fine with abortion because it is mostly the babies of liberals that are being killed.
I also doubt you've heard "many" conservatives say it, but maybe I shouldn't. There are plenty of people on the right that reject social conservative enlightenment.
It is often pointed out that Leftists work against themselves by aborting the relatively few children they have. Is that the kind of talk you have in mind?
-
The “problem” in the pro-life community is that there are those, like Pb, that aren’t satisfied by anything less than a full ban RFN. And there are others, like bedlamite, that advocate a “get what you can when you can” incrementalist approach and are fine with pausing when or taking smaller bites when large bites are politically impossible. And neither side is willing to concede points to the other.
I think bedlamite, and many other pro-lifers would like to see a flat out abortion ban, but recognize that right now it simply won’t happen. In January after the new Congress is sworn in, if there are sufficient majorities in both houses to pass a ban they’ll be much more ok with it. Whereas right now, all introducing a ban will accomplish is energizing the left to vote. Waiting in that case is actually more productive because it makes a partisan mix amenable to a ban more likely.
-
I abhor abortion, but I am unconvinced that a federal law against it is constitutional. It would take very creative articulation on the part of the Supreme Court to uphold such a ban.
State law is another thing altogether.
-

Exactly. Lindsey is a Democrat. He is introducing this bill which would never pass just to fire the left up. Furthermore anytime there is a major bill *expletive deleted*ing the American people over and it won’t pass without a handful of Republicans voting for it he’s the first to “reach across the aisle in the name of compromise”
I have no idea if Lindsey is sincere or not.
He is absolutely not. Like I said he’s a full fledged RINO. He works for the Dems but pretends to be a conservative at election time and is backed by the old money GOP in this state plus he gets the boomer “vote R no matter what” vote and aims these kinds of bills at gaining their support.
These people that vote for him every time without question are so politically *expletive deleted*ing stupid they love bills like this, don’t understand why Pelosi is still in office and doesn’t get thrown out, think “there ought to be a law” against anything and everything they don’t like, etc. They also don’t stop to wonder why nothing gets repealed or fixed when Rs control the executive branch, Congress, and judicial branch. They are half of what gives the Stupid Party its nickname.
-

Probably about 20% (I am guessing) of the posters on AR15.com say they support abortion because it kills mostly children of leftists. Of course, many of those probably aren't conservatives, but are more libertarians, so my statement may have been exaggerated. That position is very prominent any time abortion is mentioned there.

Federal laws against abortion are perfectly constitutional. It is right there in the 14th amendment.
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 5
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
The 14th was written, in part, because Democrats were allowing black Americans to be terrorized and killed. The 14th Amendment prohibits allowing states to legalize killing of innocent people. Ordinarily, there is no federal role in prosecuting murder cases. When states allow innocent people to be killed, then the Federal government has a role to prevent the states from doing this.
This is exactly what most states are doing now with unborn people.
Would the Supreme Court agree with me? No. I am I right? Sure, I am. It is right there in plain English. States can't let innocent people be killed. And stabbing someone in the base of her skull with scissors, and sucking out her brains at seven months gestation counts as "depriving someone of life" in my book.

This isn't a flat out abortion ban. It only starts banning abortion at 15 weeks gestation.
Most voters (barely) in a poll agree with this potential ban!

It's not funny because almost everyone in the large population centers and a lot of other people who ought to know better believe that crap.

I don't know if this is funny, but it's a reply I left on YouTube.
I hope a lot of far-left voters hear that Republicans are going to out-Herod Biden in sabotaging the economy. They'll all vote Republican at least twice.
If the other Dem media is clever enough, they'll also run with this, just to set up the narrative that whatever else goes wrong with the economy is GOP "obstruction." They will also use that to pressure Republicans into giving them bipartisan cover for the Dem agenda, next term.
And no sooner did I have that thought, than I saw a clip of Biden claiming a GOP House would make inflation worse. ;/

Talk about desperation . . . dems are no longer content with claiming the GOP will push granny off a cliff like they said in a past election, they've stepped up their rhetoric to say that if you vote for the GOP your children may be arrested and killed.

If we don't protect abortion rights, our children could be killed.

If the usual pattern holds when the Ds start accusing the Rs of doing something the Ds are the ones doing it.

This. This right here. They're already taking political prisoners. If they're killing dissidents yet, they're at least trying to hide it.

Not an "oopsie" as was stated in the article. Someone somewhere on the Dem side let something slip. There's going to be a lot of folks on the right disappointed when the expected "Red Tsunami" turns out to be a red wavelet, or even a blue wavelet.
It looks like I won't be eating crow anytime soon. Things are turning out pretty much as I expected. The red tsunami looks to have turned into a red wavelet. At best they may pick up enough seats in the house for a bare majority. But I have my doubts about even that happening.

Federal laws against abortion are perfectly constitutional. It is right there in the 14th amendment.
Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 5
The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
The 14th was written, in part, because Democrats were allowing black Americans to be terrorized and killed. The 14th Amendment prohibits allowing states to legalize killing of innocent people. Ordinarily, there is no federal role in prosecuting murder cases. When states allow innocent people to be killed, then the Federal government has a role to prevent the states from doing this.
This is exactly what most states are doing now with unborn people.
Would the Supreme Court agree with me? No. I am I right? Sure, I am. It is right there in plain English. States can't let innocent people be killed. And stabbing someone in the base of her skull with scissors, and sucking out her brains at seven months gestation counts as "depriving someone of life" in my book.
Citizenship is a function of birth, not conception. A child can be conceived in China, but born in the USA. Or conceived in the USA, but born in Cuba.
The Constitution is quite clear on birth being the issue, not conception. When talking about presidential eligibility and about rights of citizens in particular.
I can see abortion being a State issue, but there's no Federal law against murder. Not all crimes need to be addressed at the Federal level.
-

To be fair to Pb, the phrase "any person" does not refer to citizenship.
... there's no Federal law against murder.
That is simply not true. There are a number of Federal laws against murder.

"I can see abortion being a State issue, but there's no Federal law against murder. "
Uh... say what, now?
Title 18 of the US Code deals specifically with the crime of... murder.

Anybody with a bit of sense could have seen this coming when most of the battleground states are more or less Dem controlled along with their election processes.
And even if somehow there was a Red Wave you can always count on enough RINOs to “cross the aisle in the name of bipartisanship” to pass Dem legislation and *expletive deleted*ck us all over.

There should be no need to have federal laws against abortion, as the states should give legal protection against slaughter to unborn people within their jurisdiction.
The problem is that sometimes state governments refuse to provide legal protection to people they disfavor. This is why the 14th Amendment was written... some Democrat-controlled governments were allowing black people to be disarmed, whipped, killed, disenfranchised and so on. The 14th allows the federal government to step in and protect rights of groups of people when the state government refuses to do so.
So if a state legalizes killing Chinese, the federal government is authorized to prevent the murder of Chinese people in that state with legislation. It is the same with children before birth.
