Your Candidate Is an Idiot and I’ll
Never Vote for Them

Don’t you just love primaries? It’s a time when people who generally get along just fine turn into Yankees and Red Sox fans on a bender during the playoffs. It’s not fun to be around, and it’s not all that much fun to be a part of. Unless it’s happening to Democrats, of course, in which case you root for as long of a fight as possible. But this year it’s not happening to Democrats, at least not yet, it’s happening to Republicans, and there’s a better than average chance it’ll screw up the country going forward.

Excellent advice!! Focus on the endgame. Leftists are experts at this!

The term "candidate" is singular. Ignore number agreement and you are no different than woke leftists.

I'd say you can't ignore the fact of fraud... nor the list of accomplishments of, ahem, one particular candidate who was the nexus of both but... ... apparently you can.

Terrible advice and one of the primary reasons why the system is broken. It is the idea that "the Party is all that matters" If a candidate has an R behind their name then one is obligated to support them and if you don't then you are a traitor to the "Party". Thank God McCain and Romney did not get elected. But many who have been ordained by the Party have and continue to gleefully destroy this country. I gave up my Republican membership years ago because following the herd more often than not leads one to the slaughter house.

# 1, your point about number agreement is well taken. Many conservative writers consistently make that mistake and it annoys me, too. But to put them on the same level as woke leftists is a bit over the top, wouldn't you say? And BTW - it's different "from, not different "than".

#3 is missing the point. In order to effect change you have to have a working majority. Like it or not, that’s the reality. That has never been more obvious than during the Biden Administration. ‘Independents’ are a myth. They love the attention at election time but principles and beliefs, if one has any, do not fall squarely in the middle unless you’re incapable of making a decision. Ideology matters.

In a party based electoral system, which the USA quickly evolved into, there are two classes of elections. In the primary, you get to vote for a candidate you prefer. That means you are voting FOR someone. In the general election, your duty as a citizen is to vote AGAINST the candidate who is most likely to act against the interests of the people of the USA. Sometimes you have to vote for a really bad choice like Mitt Romney or John McCain, but the alternative is always worse. Occasionally you will find the opportunity to vote FOR a candidate you like while also voting AGAINST a candidate you really know would be a disaster. That happened for me when I voted for Ronald Reagan and again when I voted for Donald Trump. These opportunities are rare.

The train of two generally well meaning parties offering slightly different paths to a similar goal, left the station in this country long ago. We have now a stupid Party and an evil Party. This is no time to discuss and debate who is more and lor less stupid Stopping the evil ones in their tracks is of critical, existential importance. If you are facing a kamikaze attack are you going to waste time discussing the Navy's affirmative action policies? Or pick up a gun and start shooting??

5, effect change like how McCain made a big show of going out of his way to be the deciding vote on a key piece of Trump's agenda and very publicly voted no with a big thumbs down? McCain might as well have been AOC for all the good he did for Americans instead of his own ego. And he's not the only one by a long shot. I'd rather have a democrat we can kick out after one term than a democrat who ran had a Republican we are stuck with for life. Party shmarty, I vote FOR conservatives. I never vote for RNIOs. They're worse than democrats, wolves in sheep's clothing.

And who was the last Democrat we kicked out after one term, # 10? Carter was a once in a century phenomenon. RINOs are a fact of life and, believe it or not, have real constituencies. The GOP is never going to be a mirror image of the radical Dems. Working within that irksome reality is why politics is called the Art of the Possible.

#14, ignoring correct number agreement is a grammatical error. Whether or not one uses "from" or "than" is simply a preference.

Devon Archer’s testimony proves it:

The White House sharply changed its tune on Monday, saying that Joe Biden “was never in business” with his son. For nearly three years, the president has insisted that he didn’t know anything at all about Hunter’s dodgy foreign grift, let alone do business with him. Why the change of tune? Because the lies are finally starting to fall apart. On Monday, The Post revealed upcoming bombshell testimony from Hunter Biden’s ex-biz partner Devon Archer, who says the first son threw his then-VP dad on speaker during shady business calls as many as two dozen times just in Archer’s presence. Archer says the president didn’t always realize he was on speakerphone.

Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend. Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in a $60 million bond fraud, is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his father and introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors. “We are looking forward very much to hearing from Devon Archer

Under its hard-right legislature and magnificent governor, Ron DeSantis, Florida has delighted conservatives by batting down Democrat demoralization and power-grab initiatives with fierce alacrity. We’ve all thrilled at the spectacle of Heavy D crushing school groomers and busing asylum scammers to the blue sanctuaries that claim to love them so. At the same time, Florida’s fight to preserve and strengthen election integrity is also reaping benefits, and I wanted to make sure PJ Media readers didn’t miss out on the fun.

It is clear that PINO (President-in-name-only) Joe Biden is going to get impeached. I didn't think that was true until recently, not because he doesn't deserve it – he massively deserves it – but because Republicans are generally weak. Impeachment is hard, and at the end of the day, he won't be removed from office anyway. But there's too much evidence out there now to avoid it. The GOP simply cannot explain to its base how it turned over this rock o' graft and ignored the wriggling worms underneath. So, the House will eventually impeach him, but only barely, because some Republicans are weak

Water heaters could soon be subject to much more stringent efficiency requirements if a recent Department of Energy proposal that has been criticized by Republican lawmakers goes into effect. In a draft rule unveiled Friday, the Biden administration is seeking to compel most electric water heaters to deploy heat pump technology and gas-fired ones to use condensing technology. It comes months after the Biden administration ignited a firestorm over feared stove top regulations, after Albany lawmakers enacted a controversial first-in-the-nation gas stove ban in New York.

A month before he died in April 1994, former President Richard Nixon wrote a letter to then-President Bill Clinton offering what Clinton later called “wise counsel, especially with regard to Russia.” The contents of that letter have now been declassified by the Clinton presidential library and appear prophetic. In the seven-page letter, dated March 21, 1994, and discussed by history professor Luke Nichter in the Wall Street Journal, Nixon gave a blunt assessment of the political situation in Russia, predicting accurately that relations between Moscow and Kyiv would deteriorate and that someone like Putin could come to power.
Biden Administration Rule Would Ban Nearly

After seeking to reduce the use of gas stoves, the Biden administration is pushing a proposal to ban the sale of almost all portable gas generators—which some experts have said would be disastrous for the millions of Americans who rely on such generators during power outages. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has proposed a policy (pdf) that would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the market. The new rule restricts the amount of carbon monoxide that generators can emit by forcing these generators to switch off when they reach a certain level of emissions.

The Justice Department has said it plans to sue Texas if the state doesn’t remove the 1,000-foot floating barrier it placed in the Rio Grande river in a bid to deter illegal immigrants from crossing the US border. The threat of legal action was made in a letter sent to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott by the Biden administration on Thursday. The barrier of wrecking ball-sized buoys, which was strung up earlier this month near the border town of Eagle Pass, was “unlawful” and violated federal law, the letter charged. “The State of Texas’s actions violate federal law, raise humanitarian concerns, present serious risks to public safety

Clinton's social media post came in response to a tweet from left-wing think tank Center for American Progress which stated "MAGA Republicans are pouring fuel on the climate crisis fire."

Now they are altering the story to say they were indeed on the property.

Romney issued his call in a Wall Street Journal op-ed published Monday.

A majority of Americans - and an overwhelming number of Democrats - no longer support First Amendment protections for free speech. The government should restrict “false” information online, even if doing so blocks people from “publishing or accessing information,” 55 percent of Americans said in a large poll released Thursday. Only 42 percent disagreed. The antipathy to free speech represents a sea change in attitudes in just five years. It is driven by a powerful new hostility to First Amendment rights on the left. In an identically worded poll five years ago, Democrats and Republicans favored free speech online by roughly 3 to 2 margins. Today
