You nailed it. These people are so out of touch.

I called my local rep's DC office yesterday, David Kustoff (R-TN 8th District), and asked how he voted on Liz Cheney. The guy that answered told me it was an anonymous vote. I told him I knew that -- that's why I'm calling. He said if Rep Kustoff wants to make it public then he'll release a statement. I told him the secrecy makes me assume he voted in favor of Cheney and that until I hear otherwise I'll never vote for him again.

Populism is exploding all over the globe. These elected politicians are not our monarchs -- they are our servants. They are elected to do OUR will. They have failed miserably. And any leftie that's honest knows this applies to both sides of the aisle.

In Trump we saw a regular guy who understands the problem with institutionalized politicians -- they're practically all corrupt. They live in a bubble and have lost touch with reality.

And this applies to the Mainstream Media as well. That industry has lost any semblance of news reporting. For a few decades now they have been unabashedly a propaganda arm of radical leftism.



As far as the OP goes, to think Sasse speaks for conservatives is a gross misunderstanding.

That's the way to make an impact. Unfortunately, I am now represented by 3 of the most radical people in Congress.

Did you watch the video. Tudor hit it on the head. "I'm an insider. Go away and let us all get back to the trough."

I had Sasse a little ahead of Flake and McCain, but he is just more of the same.
His disagreements with Trump weren't personal, they were "constitutional?" What a load of total BS. And then when all you use is the word "lies" you aren't going to convince anyone who doesn't already agree with you. And not a single word about the people with concerns about election security. Not one word. And calls the riot an effort to end the peaceful transfer of power? They disrupted things for a few hours. It was not a serious effort.

He needs to be primaried out in 2026.

Reminds me of Kasich talking about the religious baker issue. "I don't see why the baker won't sell the gays a cupcake." Totally oblivious to the issues fellow Republicans had. Same with Sasse. No concern about election security. No concern about electing radical Democrats in 2016 and 2020. Fictional concerns about Trump and the Constitution? This wasn't a cult of personality. A lot of us don't like Trump. Its about policies. And he chose to help those with policies that will take away our freedoms and our economic prosperity. He cannot be taken seriously.

Before, during, and immediately after the Civil War the South was predominately Democrat. The carpetbaggers were Yankee Republicans who came in and took advantage of reconstruction, according to the Southern Democrats anyway. That's the real truth of it and all these libtards can lie and lie and lie and it doesn't change that.

Hell, straight from the extremely left leaning Wikipedia:

Quote:In the history of the United States, carpetbagger was a derogatory term applied by former Confederates to Northerners who came to the Southern states after the American Civil War; they were perceived as exploiting the local populace. The term broadly included both individuals who sought to promote Republican politics, and individuals who saw business and political opportunities because of the chaotic state of the local economies following the war. In practice, the term carpetbagger was often applied to any Northerner who was present in the South during the Reconstruction Era (1863–1877). The term is closely associated with "scalawag", a similarly pejorative word used to describe native White Southerners who supported the Republican Party-led Reconstruction.

Thank you. To me, its just a mad scramble to stay in power. Whatever it takes.

Quote:Nebraska’s Republican Party is pushing to censure Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), yet again, for breaking with President Trump.

In an open letter to Sasse on Thursday, the state’s GOP chair, Kolene Woodward, said the resolution to censure the lawmaker came after he decried claims of voter fraud and blamed President Trump for the violence on Capitol Hill.

Woodward noted, it’s unfortunate they do not have a way to recall Sasse as the party no longer believes he’s representing Nebraskans’ best interests when he goes to Washington.

I'm not so deluded as to think that I can convince you - - or the 80-plus percent other posters on this forum who are more righteously conservative than I - - to like Sen. Sasse. You have every right to dislike him, and to call out any statements or positions of his that you think false or misguided.

But what I do suggest is that just because you (and most others on this forum) hold views you deem to be politically infallible still leaves you stuck with dealing with the ignoramuses among us, like me. Ones who think that President Trump disgraced himself and this nation on the way out of office.

You can, on the one hand, chalk us all off as RINO's, or whatever other term writes us off as not worth considering. Or you can, on the other hand, decide that the American experiment is still worth the effort to accept that some people see things differently but nevertheless hold views that are better than the alternative. Sen. Sasse, political wimp that you may consider him to be, at least only wants to argue with you, or maybe say some mean things about your hero. But he doesn't want to take your money, your liberties or your way of life. At least that's how I view it.

Primary him in 2026? Good luck with that.

Sasse opposed him in 2016 and 2020 on Constitutional grounds? What grounds?

Most Republicans believe there was election fraud to some extent. And he won't even mention it. Its giving a middle finger to most Republicans. He doesn't want to argue. He calls names like a Democrat. Everyone who disagrees is a cult member.
He is an arrogant idiot who does NOT represent Republicans.

Nope. Its not about Trump. What its actually about is the reason we have Trump. That reason doesnt go away because Biden* cheated. And thats what some rinos are still having a hard time grasping. They think without Trump, they can go back to doing what they were doing. They think wrong.

Why do y’all keep arguing with that idiot. He’s just playing you. No matter what you say he’s going to take the opposite side.

Every conservative should see this video.

All brought to us by democrats. What you are looking at is actually the beginning of the end of America. Black families were strong then. Black ownership of small business was strong then. Work was an important and admirable pursuit then. There were of course problems then as there are now but to even suggest conservatives have gotten us to where we are today is ignorant and dishonest.

Something that won't be available to kids coming up through the schools now. Thanks to your totalitarian leftist idols for revising and erasing history.

*laughs in Native American*

So why don’t you give your house to one?

Yeah, history books from the 1950s-1970s were totally not full of nonsense. Straight up legit. Not propaganda at all. All facts. No incredibly revisionist bias to be seen.

You should go skim through a few from various Southern states especially and get back to me on what you find.

I was in southern states in school in the 60s and 70s and yes the books were pretty accurate and complete (Kentucky and Texas). I've had kids in schools in Georgia in the 00s and teens and the books are often ridiculously inaccurate and full of woke lies, like the buffalo being driven to near extinction by climate change or the Texas Revolution being driven by slavery.

Get back to us when you have facts instead of repeating talking points. (and don't give us just stuff from the 50s).

There is so much poorly educated utter bullshite in this tthread it is impossible to dissect in a rational manner.



Poorly formed arguments using anecdotal examples.

I would ne happy if I suspected that any of the prog filth posting here actually ever read a book, much less a primary reference

Complete nonsense. I cannot even relate to this level of abject stupidity.

Carry on. I'll snicker.

Aside from my having voted for Trump in 2020, I pretty much align with everything else he said in that video. Republicans and conservatives (obviously not the same thing) will need to figure out if they have enough common interests to work together or not during the coming months/years.

But at least Republicans/conservatives are confronting their differences, and hashing them out transparently. Democrats/progressives (which sadly ARE the same thing) have no such dynamic. Two meaningless Republican representatives - - one from Iowa and another from Georgia - - get instantly stripped of their committee assignments for the crime of wrong think. You can show me no comparable penalty assessed against any Democrat for much worse behavior - - cavorting with spies (Feinstein and Swalwell), antisemitism (Tlaib and Omar), campaign corruption (Waters and Omar).

America is politically sick. But the malignancy if very much more on the left.
