You can call yourself whatever you want. Bottom line is you vote for the party of wokeism. I am just glad you've finally admitted it, and dropped any pretenses you were actually conservative.

Know thyself.

I'm the true Conservative, not Republican hack


a conservative that votes for abortion, illegal immigration, higher taxes, etc. You sure?
He's now pretending that his vote for a wokester like Rochelle Garza, the AG candidate who supported defunding police forces, was "committed to restoring abortion access in Texas," wanted to unionize Texas, and wanted to expand LGBTQ+ rights, is not a vote for any of those.

In other words, he doesn't support those things, he just voted for people who do. What he doesn't realize is that's a distinction without a difference. He's stupid in that way.
Do Republicans do anything that you don't support?
Not agreeing with a conservative candidate on every issue is quite different from supporting a candidate that is diametrically opposed to all things conservatism.

Surely even someone as intellectually dishonest as yourself won't deny that.

How many Democrats did you vote for in the last election?
So you do vote for things that you don't support.



To reiterate, my obtuse and intellectually dishonest friend, I don't vote for politicians who support policies that are diametrically opposed to my conservative beliefs. No reasonable conservative would.

Tell us, which Democrats did you support this last election cycle?
Is the Ukrainian proxy war against your conservative values?
You already know the answer to this one. It's one of the reasons I voted for Trump, as he kept us out of unnecessary wars.

Since you didn't vote for Trump, tell us, are you in favor of proxy wars against Russia? Or is that just something you're willing to accept as the price of getting rid of the mean tweets?
I'm against the war, but plenty of Republicans other than Trump are for it. Both US senators from Texas, for example. If you don't support it, will you vote for people who do? Isn't that a distinction without a difference?
Depends on the alternative, and how strongly I feel about the policy at issue. In the case of the Ukraine war, it seems only a handful of Republicans oppose funding it. So what good is it to vote for the Democrat on a policy that is largely bipartisan?

As I tried to explain to you above to no avail, I don't vote for candidates who are diametrically opposed to my conservative worldview - much like yourself. It's the same reason you have never voted Democrat, or could not support someone who is pro-choice. No reasonable person who claims to be conservative would vote for a candidate with views that are diametrically opposed to his own purported views. That's insanity.

And yes, supporting a candidate who will work to employ policies that are the antithesis of conservatism is supporting those policies, whether tacit or not. It's pretty shocking that any reasonable person would try to defend such logic (or lack thereof).
How do you distinguish a candidate who's merely opposed to your worldview from one who is "diametrically" opposed? Is it just a matter of how strongly you feel? If Oso doesn't feel as strongly about a particular issue, can he vote his conscience and still be a conservative?
Do you believe "conservative" to be some fungible concept, with no clearly defined parameters? In other words, if a person such as Oso "feels" he is conservative, that means he's conservative, as long as of course he's voting his "conscience," regardless of the issue or candidate? What role, if any, does a person's voting record or positions on issues play in that characterization, in your mind?
No. Their statements and voting record are important. But you didn't answer my questions.
Quote:

So, it sounds like you have never (and would never) vote for candidates who support such issues because they are opposed to your conservative beliefs. Correct?
I never have, unless you count Trump as pro-LGBT. I suppose I might, if the candidate a was moderate on those issues, they agreed with me on most other things, and their opponent was exceptionally bad.
Your questions were irrelevant, seemingly conflating my personal views with what it means to be conservative. Since we both apparently agree that how a person votes and their positions on certain issues define their conservatism, my personal views are not germane to this discussion. Whether I feel strongly about an issue and whether the issue I feel strongly about is conservative are two different inquiries.

So, unlike Oso, because you are conservative, you would not vote for a candidate who wasn't conservative. Correct?

Trump Expected To Announce New Nickname For Nikki Haley On February 15th
MAR-A-LAGO Former President Donald Trump teased today that he will be dropping a devastating new nickname for Nikki Haley come February 15th.
"I am going to totally crush this Nikki Haley woman - just as soon as I figure out who she is," said President Trump. "Hey, that might be the nickname right there - 'Nikki Who'. But seriously, can someone tell me who she is?"
Trump's big announcement came on the heels of Ms. Haley declaring on local radio her intent to officially launch a bid for President on February 15th. While dozens of people hailed the announcement, most of the excitement has centered around Mr. Trump's forthcoming nickname. "Oh yeah, I'm glad Haley's in the running," said local woman Ashley Vargas. "It will give us a chance to see if Trump's still got his nickname game. Frankly, 'DeSanctimonious' is pretty stupid, so this will be a real test to see what Trump has left in the tank."
According to anonymous sources, President Trump has privately admitted doubts about his DeSantis nickname. "Maybe it wasn't my best, ok?" said an irritated Trump. "So I asked my staff if anyone else didn't like it, and I fired anyone who said yes. Now, everyone loves it! Now leave me alone, I've got work to do on this mysterious 'Nikki' lady!"
Sources confirmed final nickname contenders include:
  • Icky Haley
  • Nasty Nikki
  • Nicki Hacky
  • Nervous Nikki
  • Amb-ASS-ador Haley
  • Horse-Face Haley
  • Handicapped Haley
  • No-good Nikki
  • Little Nicky
  • NeoCon Nicky
  • Tricky Nikki
  • No-Chance Nikki
  • No-Votes Nikki
  • Haliburton Haley
At publishing time, sources say Mr. Trump remained adamant that he never appointed Nikki Haley as ambassador to the U.N. and wishes someone would be kind enough to tell him who the heck she is.

You're a pariah is what you are, all too willing to vote against your Christian faith. A hypocrite of the tallest order.

Sam and I don't agree on much, and he is regularly on the wrong side of things. But at least your hero is consistent - unwilling to betray his beliefs with his vote as you do. That's respectable at the very least. You on the other hand - there's nothing to respect.

Ye of horrid reading comprehension: As stated above, there may have been a time where a conservative could vote Democrat - such as back in the 90's or perhaps early 00's - but not now. My vote was for local politicians back in the 90's for local positions in which their positions on issues Christians care about would be irrelevant, since a City Councilman and tax assessor aren't going to be able to influence social issues.

I certainly didn't vote for any state or federal candidates in 2022 - such as yourself for instance - whose goal was to expand access to abortions in Texas, among pushing other woke issues.

Surely even a pariah such as yourself can see the difference.

Trump Attacks DeSantis For Failing To Fire Dr. Fauci, Rushing Untested Vaccine
POLITICS Feb 2, 2023 BabylonBee.com
[url=https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A//babylonbee.com/news/trump-attacks-desantis-for-failing-to-fire-dr-fauci-rushing-untested-vaccine][/url]
MAR-A-LAGO Former President Trump has kicked off his 2024 campaign by attacking fellow Republican Ron DeSantis, blaming the Florida governor for not firing Dr. Fauci and for pushing a poorly-tested vaccine on the entire nation.
"Can you believe Ron DeSantis picked that joker Anthony Fauci to lead the pandemic response? What an idiot!" said President Trump. "And remember how they had to hospitalize DeSantis at Walter Reed when he had COVID because his oxygen got too low? Such a weakling!"
In addition to blaming DeSantis for the failings of Dr. Fauci, Trump also took the governor to task for rushing a vaccine through development with the federal government's Operation Warp Speed. "Now they're finding out this vaccine has all these terrible side effects, and it's all because of Ron DeSantis," said Mr. Trump. "Might as well call the disease 'myocarDeSantis'! Ha! What a total failure. Sad!"
Thus far, the DeSantis camp has yet to issue any direct response to Trump's attacks. "Yeah, we're just as confused as y'all are," said DeSantis' communications director Christina Pushaw. "We always liked Trump, so it's honestly kind of sad to see his mind start to go. I know dementia isn't supposed to be contagious, but D.C. sure makes it seem that way."
Governor DeSantis himself could not be reached for comment, as he was too busy winning.

I don't care what a Mean Girl thinks. Apparently the adoration of the crowd means a lot to you.

You're a pariah is what you are, all too willing to vote against your Christian faith. A hypocrite of the tallest order.

Sam and I don't agree on much, and he is regularly on the wrong side of things. But at least your hero is consistent - unwilling to betray his beliefs with his vote as you do. That's respectable at the very least. You on the other hand - there's nothing to respect.


You admit you vote for Democrats. How can you call yourself a Christian?
Ye of horrid reading comprehension: As stated above, there may have been a time where a conservative could vote Democrat - such as back in the 90's or perhaps early 00's - but not now. My vote was for local politicians back in the 90's for local positions in which their positions on issues Christians care about would be irrelevant, since a City Councilman and tax assessor aren't going to be able to influence social issues.

I certainly didn't vote for any state or federal candidates in 2022 - such as yourself for instance - whose goal was to expand access to abortions in Texas, among pushing other woke issues.

Surely even a pariah such as yourself can see the difference.


1 drop rule

If you for for just 1 Democrat, you are a Democrat and you vote against Christianity
Weird rule you've created, but if you say so. I guess it is best for you to just embrace your newfound wokeness, instead of engaging in self-denial. It's not like that admission could damage your already low reputation on this board.

Biden's been president for two years. Why is Trump not in prison yet?

For what will he go to jail?
Contrary to what many here believe, the DOJ isn't in the business of rigging elections and doesn't want to be perceived that way. The fact that Trump was a likely candidate in 2024 was surely one of the things holding them back.
Yeah because it has a proven record of show raids to return overdue library books, suppressing damaging information to one candidate, leaking disinformation to the media, and sponsoring Russian-funded fake news to undermine an incoming president. Yeah, never does that.

Cliff notes version: Biden won because he wasn't Trump

Can Biden 2020 his way to victory in 2024?
Analysis by Philip Bump
February 6, 2023 at 1:16 p.m. EST
Joe Biden is president largely because Donald Trump was president.
Trump was reviled by Democrats and many independents, who'd only narrowly supported him in 2016. The 2018 midterms were a rout for Trump's party as many voters turned out to express their frustration with the administration. When the 2020 Democratic nominating process began, Biden's most important advantage was that he was viewed as more electable by primary voters. He won the nomination.
Then, in November, he won the election. Independents backed Biden by double digits, with polling showing that nonpartisans viewed Trump's presidency broadly negatively. Biden won in large part because he was not Trumpand because he was palatable, if not exciting, to a lot of people who wanted anyone but Trump as president.
That might not be enough for Biden to win again.

Nonetheless, evaluating this particular question where Biden and Trump stand offers its own insights, given that the 2024 contest may come down, once again, to a relative comparison between these two candidates.
So we begin with the necessary predicate for a Biden-Trump general election: do primary voters want them to be their parties' nominees? In both cases, the answer is, eh, not really? Half of Republicans (and Republican-leaning independents) would like to see someone besides Trump be the party's nominee; nearly 6 in 10 Democrats (and leaners) say they want someone besides Biden.
Error! Filename not specified.
Our poll also asked how people would feel if Biden or Trump won the nomination and, subsequently, the election. More than 6 in 10 respondents said they'd feel dissatisfied or angry if Biden won, with more than 9 in 10 Republicans holding that position.
Error! Filename not specified.
More than half of respondents said they'd be dissatisfied or angry if Trump won, including more than 9 in 10 Democrats. A plurality of respondents said they'd be dissatisfied if Biden won. More than a third said they'd be angry if Trump did.
Error! Filename not specified.
But notice the difference in those saying they'd be "angry." Six in 10 Republicans said they'd be angry about a Biden win; 7 in 10 Democrats said the same about a Trump victory. Independents were about as likely to be angry at either, though slightly more Trump than Biden.
Again, this is in part how Biden won: People were furious at Trump's presidency. Trump was the reason Republicans came to vote in 2020 he is also the reason Democrats came out to vote. Many Democrats were meh on Biden all along, but he wasn't Trump.
If we compare how Democrats would feel about Biden being reelected in 2024 with January 2020 Post-ABC polling asking how people felt about the Democratic primary field (which Biden was then leading), we see an almost perfect overlap. Democrats in 2020 were lukewarm about their candidates; Democrats now are lukewarm about the prospect of Biden winning again.
Error! Filename not specified.
Trump's position has shifted more dramatically. In October 2019, two-thirds of Republicans wanted him to be the party's 2020 nominee. (There was no real challenge to that eventuality, given how the Republican Party cleared the field for him.) Now, though, only 44 percent of Republicans want to see him nominated about the same percentage that say they would be enthusiastic about his winning in 2024.
Error! Filename not specified.
The pattern here would seem to suggest a steady Biden position and a softening Trump one. Yet the Post-ABC poll shows a tight race between the two potential candidates, with Trump holding a slight, nonsignificant lead. In other words, given Biden's margin in the popular vote in 2020, the head-to-head poll doesn't show Trump running weaker. Among independents, for example, Trump has a not-significant advantage a much better position than he enjoyed in 2020.

Biden and many in his party seem to think that a rematch of 2020 provides Biden with a distinct advantage. It's probably true that Trump has so much baggage that he enters a potential 2024 race at a disadvantage relative to Republicans who haven't earned as much animus. But even in this case, Biden can't breathe easily. Former Obama administration official Julin Castro summarized one Democratic concern about Biden's reelection chances: "if he's faring this poorly after a string of wins, that should be worrisome."
Trump has probably been aided by his relatively low profile (one forced upon him) since leaving office. Were the 2024 race between Trump and Biden, it's likely that a lot of Americans would soon remember why they preferred Biden three years ago. It's also possible, though, that Biden's failure to energize Americans in support of him and his agenda would make a 2024 choice not one between a neutral and a disliked candidate but, instead, a choice between two disliked ones.
The last time Trump was in a fight like that was 2016.
