Trying the same thing over and over, electing the same types over and over, expecting a different result is futile, let's start with this simple term as an example that I see here on a regular basis...

RINO(s) I don't find that a pejorative. If one believes a Republican should stand for, lets say fiscal prudence, yet votes for a CR, can it not be said they are not a true Republican? Our provincial "Conservative" premier has turned out to be worse at spending than previous "liberal" governments. Buzz words and catch phrases are simply used by those of lesser intellect, to make the point they can not articulate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz words and catch phrases are simply used by those of lesser intellect, to make the point they can not articulate. seems to me in certain circles and certain types... if you're not MAGA it's an automatic disqualifier. most of my friends, family and colleagues would get the RINO label around here, nearly all being lifelong Republicans and 'conservatives'. the Tea Party kooks and the far religious right started what I would label as the dysfunctional mess within the traditional Republican party and Trump smartly capitalized upon it and turned the tea party into the maga movement. Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them. Barry Goldwater or... Mark my word, if and when these tea-party types get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these magatards believe they are acting in the name of Trump, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them. Every current rational Republican disgusted by Trump and his politics. but his policies... the juice isn't worth the squeeze Trump is Cancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoo Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Most unfortunate we are locked in a party system. If one must hold one's nose while voting, have we truly been given a choice? I have little use for preachers, and not enough knowledge on what made a tea party member click, to draw an opinion. The primary goal of a party is to be elected and once in power, stay there. The actual good of the electorate takes a back seat. If I dislike the preacher that votes beside me, yet his vote will bring my preferred choice to power, it is a poor choice at best, but the only rational one given the alternatives. Calling someone RINO, or communist etc, does little to enhance debate. Edited February 21 by Voodoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will gladly remove the authoritarian dictator we have in Canada, by vote, and hopefully put in someone who does things not by decree or order in council. If Canada continues down the path we have, voting will be less and less relevant, as outside economic forces dictate more and more our direction and quality of life. Your inability to see this astounds me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
