If repubs pull off this shenanigans, Hill is toast.

The real life House of Cards

[Amazing Larry]

It will be interesting watching the arena burn in Cleveland instead of the river.

[Blarg]

Why do you think Trump is begging Kasich to back out, he needs those delegates, even a share of those that would switch to Trump instead of Cruz. I hope Kasich hangs in there just to upset the entire race and leave the Republicans with the responsibility to pick a reasonable candidate (Ryan) instead of a choice between two stinking turds. If they can reject both Trump and Cruz and go independent with Ryan they will pull in more votes from Republicans sitting on their hands wishing the party hadn't let this mess get out of hand.

 

I would vote Ryan in a heartbeat.

[Blarg]

AJ might even cancel his social revolution when Hillary gets the nomination and vote Ryan as well.

[Jay]

Vote Larry Thompson !

[Tank]

a vote for john anderson is a vote for reagan!

[Amazing Larry]

I would vote Ryan in a heartbeat.

 

Ryan is just another political hack. I see no difference between him, Kasich, Rubio, Graham, etc. etc.

[Blarg]

The others proved the were hacks by jumping into an over crowded pool with alligators. Ryan had the good sense to not join them.

Ryan seems uber conservative from looking at his past.

That's fine. I just don't see anything different he brings to the table. More lip service and no real change.

[Blarg]

We had 8 years of hope and change. Let's just go with normal for a while and see how that works out.

Good, since there hasn't been a true conservative in the white house for a long while.

[Jason]

Whoa, you know conservatives are looked down upon in these threads?

[Blarg]

I'm tired of free shit being promised by social change that costs us tons of money. Let's try, work for it you lazy assholes for a change.

And what, pray tell, does an actual "true conservative" stand for? Isn't that just a branding gimmick?

[Blarg]

It's not pandering to Democratic Socialist that are really Communist with patience. 

[red321]

so, your answer is I don't know

[Blarg]

No, it is what I just described.

[Make Angels Great Again]

One of the things is removing rights of certain individuals based on religious principles.

[Blarg]

No, that's Mississippi which should be set adrift with Florida.

So conservatives aren't against gay marriage?

[Adam]

They all are. Even the gay ones

[Blarg]

I'm not. Most the conservatives I know don't care simply because it has no effect on our lives other than having to figure out which is the bride side and which is the groom. Chaffing dishes are always the go to gift.

I also don't believe we need to bring up abortion because it hasn't had a real challenge since Roe Vs. Wade was decided over 40 years ago. It is like bringing up women's suffrage as if we will be repealing a womans right to vote. It's stupid and not a real issue as much as those trying to create devisiveness want to make it.

True conservatives want more economic than social reform. Stabilize the economy, stabilize trade, stabilize our standing in the World community without using the armed services. Invest more in real education and not pander to the left that wants safe spaces but make college a dangerous place for weak minds and whining about cultural appropriation as they wear designer jeans and live off their parents retirement fund. Make them all be grown ups working towards a real world goal of bringing something useful to society.

We have enough military toys, time to scale back on production and deployment and move that money over to saving lives through medical research which shared to the world would do more than any bribes to dictators with more free jets and tanks.

Get value for your tax dollar and quit ****ing around trying to pander to minorities that will never be happy until their path is paved with gold.

Wait, I hadn't even thought about the possibility until Blarg brought it up. Can we end women's suffrage?

That could solve a LOT of problems. You never know what they're gonna vote for depending on the time of the month (if you know what I mean, wink, wink).

I think you'd have trouble getting enough clear headed women to vote for this, wink, wink.
