    Decline of the GOP - XVI

    So do I. He didn't. And it is to his credit he didn't let ideological purity prevent him from doing the necessary thing. Just like when GHW Bush agreed to a tax increase he didn't want to do.

    2025-They died this year

    I just had to tell my son. He worked with Malcolm on "The Resident," and they texted from time to time, Malcolm encouraging him in his efforts to act professionally. Needless to say, he's broken up about it. It hits close to home for a lot of us, but my boy actually worked with him.

    The Decline of the American Media III

    Not that time, no. I think their problem was they hit paydirt two elections in a row and (just like the GOP in 2004) bought into that "the Republican Party is so dead they'll never be in power again." You know.....like the GYP is doing right now.

    Decline of the GOP - XVI

    I'm not going to impose MY thoughts on everyone else but rest assured...if PBS or NPR went away ten minutes from now, I wouldn't even notice. I'm not saying "defund them because I don't care," I'm just saying I wouldn't notice it at all. And I'd venture to say there's a lot of us.

    The Decline of the American Media III

    It's not as ridiculous as the times I hear the name "Michelle Obama" as potential candidate, but it's still insane. Emanuel, to me, would be more like if a James Carville or Karl Rove was running. Yes, he's held elective office but my goodness.......maybe Haley Barbour since he actually held an...

    Decline of the GOP - XVI

    No, but: 1) voters never really hold them accountable 2) voters get what they want The politician who cuts someone's donative is getting spit canned next election regardless of the larger picture of the budget deficit. Think about this, and you can use almost anyone you want: - Barack Obama...

    Politics: Statues coming down II

    Don Bacon suddenly grew these things men have when he was safe from losing an election, didn't he? Just like Flake and Corker in the GYP. Just like the Dem voices that failed to speak up about Biden's health until he withdrew (one year ago today). He's not wrong, but I honestly think they...

    Decline of the GOP - XVI

    Look, gerrymandering should only be done at the taking of the new census, not when it's suspiciously convenient. I'd like to oppose it but even though your Congresscritter isn't going to say it, every single one of them likes gerrymandering if it helps THEM PERSONALLY go back to Washington and...

    Decline of the GOP - XVI

    I don't know if the dumber group is the one praising what you say amounts to a 1% cut or the group crying like they're going off the air because they got a 1% cut.

    The Decline of the American Media III

    He's set himself into position where even if he did run, he wouldn't be able to win the primary. This is a common problem in both parties: if you're acceptable to the PARTY as they vote in primaries, you're often less than acceptable to the nation as a whole. This used to be a much bigger...

    Decline of the GOP - XVI

    Well, the "Republican Party" (whatever that term might mean) might possibly be(en). The TRUMP Party isn't, never has been, and never will be.
