Yeah- doesnt sound like a sound robust method for selecting ones leader, does it, lol.

Maybe he used to be more moderate -like , 20 yrs ago, perhaps- but clearly, now, no longer is. Besides, he is just plain awful....

Thank you for that- great reply. I disagree with ther first part of your assessment of Bush as a "weak" leader, but agree with the latter . Romney, to me, is trash- weak, hypocritical and uninspiring. Who do I like for Democrats? Not sure as to me, the party ,as a whole has drifted way too far to the left. I liked Joe Liebermann back in the day and definitely would have considered voting for him. Also, I respect and admire Joe Manchin for standing up for his principles. Are there any prominent moderate Democrats currently in office that could be viable candidates for '24? A sincere question.

My friend, I guess Im just wondering why you always feel the need to use obfuscating language rather than providing a straight answer for us simple-minded folk. Did you like Bush or not ? Would you consider voting for Desantis /Haley or not? Pretty simple isnt it?

Fair enough- to be honest, I dont know alot about Haley. What is your objection to her ?

I guess that means you didnt like Bush and wouldnt consider DeSantis and/or Haley then? From your reference , Im assuming youre suggesting theyre Q Anon supporters , correct?

VH, whats your opinion of GWB? Also, would you consider voting for a Desantis or Haley if they ran for Prez?

First trimester works for me

Chef , the fact is that many fetuses Can survive in their own without the mother WELL before natural birth ; so , accdg to your definition of what constitutes “ living “ , then all fetuses after , say 7-8 months of gestation would be be considered “ living “ and cannot be aborted and thus , would be considered murder .

A little too basic , it seems , considering the replies you’re receiving . Kinda painted yourself into a corner with your definition , Bud

That’s a bit too simplistic a definition for human life for me .

Come on!! Of course you’re defending him , cuz he always goes after Trump , the ultimate villain in your world view !!

Maybe , but actually , I’m not sure if that’s true . I will research and get back though to verify that. I do know this : NO President experienced the blatant daily barrage of in your face disrespect and attempts to undermine his authority from the media that Trump did ; moreover , no one has received such favorable kid glove treatment by said media - save Obama , perhaps - than Biden . IMHO , No one behaves worse than the democrats . NEITHER side should do it , mind you but you’re a tad off base if you’re arguing that the Republicans are more guilty of reprehensible behavior towards their political opponents; in fact , it is quite the opposite . So it must be requested then ? See, I believe that’s wrong because when one is elected President - no matter you’re feelings about the individual elected - I think that their ascendancy to that status automatically grants them a certain level of respect , at the very least , for the office itself . I most certainly will not as I disagree with your premise that he did . I may be persuaded , however to albeit , grudgingly admit that about Biden

Not at all ; like I said , he’s butthurt cuz he got canned by Trump . I do however , think his criticisms of Biden’s handling of Ukraine are dead in though

Did you ? Musta missed it . At any rate , there won’t be unity until both sides stop demonizing the other , and blatant disrespect is part of that mindset . Kinda sounds like your position is , well , screw it , there won’t be unity anyway so I might as well be as disrespectful as I want . But that just perpetuates the disunity, doesn’t it ? Now , I’m assuming that ideally , you would like there to be some unity , correct ?

Also, I dont put much stock into anything that Warhawk Bolton says about the former Prez- nor should you. Hes butt hurt over being fired by Trump and shotts his mouth off about him whenever he gets a chance. Interestingly, the article you posted mentions that Bolton also spoke about Bidens handling of the Ukraine situation, yet doesnt get into specifics as to what he said. Well, I did somedigging and he wasnt overly impressed or complimentary, to say the least.

Again, your proving my point when you contend that Trump is "deserving of Heckling" . If that is your position, then all of us on the right should feel it is perfectly ok to disrespect Biden and/or any democrat while theyre speaking whenever we so choose. I dont care what you think of the man , his policies , or his Governance of the country, he was President of the Unites States and, thus was our leader and should be shown respect for that. You can disagree all you want, but you should NOT blatantly disrespect the President to their face. You can post anything youd like as proof that he should NOT be shown respect but again, if "Respect" is arbitrary , then nobody will be given it because there will ALWAYS be a side who disagrees. Youre wrong about this, my friend.

You've just proved my point: Trump deserves heckling and disrespect , but Biden doesnt? And to me, This is a perfect example of why we can never achieve unity in this country!!

Yes, I agree with this sentiment also. I do believe that we, on the right should take the high road and model exemplary behavior, but it also frustrates me that there is a glaringly obvious different standard established by the media and the pundits. I think it all boils down to the way the opposing sides view each other: we look at them as sanctimonous idiots whereas they view us as selfish and evil; therefore, they feel justified in treating us disrespectfully because "we deserve it anyway" - NOT!!!

Kinda like BLM ?? Better yet: Antifa!!

Maybe they’re gonna articulate that through the protests ; guess we’ll see

Trumps a stud!! this exemplifies one of the myriad reasons why I liked him so much as President !!

Yes, so it is , indeed fake news. But hey , no biggie as we all make mistakes -you’re still a good kid

But it wasn’t Trump , nor his supporters that conceived of the paying homage to the Russian flag idea thing - it was an anti Trumper. Moreover , it has no bearing on what’s transpiring in Ukraine currently.

wait: fake also since it appears that the whole Russian flag thing was instigated by an anti Trumper; thus, it wasnt authentic.
