GOP punishment

[Got Stripers]

So 13 vote for infrastructure we all know is really needed and will create jobs and their phone numbers are shared so they can enjoy a barrage of calls wishing they and their families die. If these nuts pulled that crap in the private sector, they would be escorted to the door and their key cards confiscated.

it's terrible when politicians get punished......

i agree, we need infastructure funding and i give trump a big fat F for not doing it when he had the chance. if this money is spent wisely, it could be a very productive thing.

what’s your take on Manchin and Sinema holding up the 3.5 trillion social spending bill because they feel it’s not a good bill? are they as heroic as the republicans who put party loyalty aside to do what they thought was right?

have you seen the way manchin and sinema are being ripped apart by the left? curious why that didn’t bother you, since that happened first. aggressive crowds surrounding them ( getting harassed in the bathroom), media tearing them a new one, other elected democrats punishing them. that was all acceptable?

Reporters have been mugging politicians in Washington forever and there is a huge difference between the criticism the far left has heaped on those two, compared to what the far right has unleashed on those 13 voting for their constituents and not party lines. What’s happening on the right is getting extreme, primarily because they have only one goal, to make it impossible for Biden to be successful. If you posted a characterization of you killing your supervisor and suggesting the CEO be murdered, you would soon be out the door and likely being interviewed by police, yet this is ok for an elected official according to the lack of censure on the right.

As for the second bill, I really don’t know enough about everything in it, but a lot I agree with. Putting money into helping Americans get back to work and having the upper crust pay their fare share for a chance.

here, MSNBC says Manchin could be “the nations ruin.”.

And the Washington Post calls him a “villain.”

the nations ruin? seriously?

Yeah oh you describe Washington politics, what a revelation; did they release personal information so the right nut jobs can stalk and threaten their lives? Did threats of murder of the president get published (oh just joking right or sure) resulting in no censure by their party leaders?

[Pete F.]

Kyrsten Sinema has taken over $750,000 from Big Pharma.
Joe Manchin collects $500,000 a year from coal stocks dividends and more than that in political contributions from the fossil fuel industry.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Always follow the money.

You wonder why our country doesn’t change. Stop allowing these campaign contributions and congress along w/our policies would look very different. Until we can disrupt the corruption of these corporate donations (coal, oil, fast food, guns etc), we won’t solve much of substance

Duh, because it's no longer business as usual on the right, death threats and joking about murdering the president, having trouble with comprehension Jim? What is the norm is the media who has always had access to elected officials (well unless you don't like the media like Trump and shut it down), so mugging them in the hallway to get answers is the norm. Have some coffee Jim, might clear the fog.

oh i see. it’s ok when democrats are bashed for not voting with their party. but it’s problematic for you when republicans are bashed for not voting with their party.

“joking about murdering the president”

what punishment did kathy griffin receive for the same exact offense? and i don’t care if they punish that guy, he deserves it.

the right has been taking cheap elbows since Bush was in office, that’s when civility died. they’re going to throw some back once in awhile.

you’re right, i don’t see your point, other than you’re complaining about something, which you didn’t complain about when the politics were reversed.

GS, Maxine Waters went on TV and told
people to harass republicans whenever they were out in public, to let them know they’re not welcome. that was ok.

she told her followers to hound republicans, “tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere…”

sorry, what’s good for the goose…

this is the left's business as usual....would you like some examples?

that’s what they don’t like, that we’re playing by their rules now. that’s one of the benefits of trump i guess, he showed that when your opponent is hitting you with cheap elbows, sometimes you need to elbow back. Something Bush/McCain/Romney we’re incapable of.

liberals like it a lot more, when republicans just stand there and take it.

Here is one of the leaders on the left's response to the stupidity of I'd agree is a dumb ar*se, show me the equivalent on the right please.

“We all have to remember to treat our fellow Americans, all of our fellow Americans, with the kind of civility and respect we expect will be afforded to us,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “No one should call for the harassment of political opponents. That’s not right. That’s not American.”

My god you guys are priceless.

Chuck Schumer also said this, directed at the supreme court...this is an exact quote, from the man you say is the model for bipartisan civility.

"I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

No one who says those words, gets to stand on the moral high ground and demand civility. Yet you hold him up as the model for how we should behave?

Bush and McCain were gentleman who didn't constantly come out with low blows. And did that incentivized the left to treat them with some respect?

Bush was a Nazi who hated blacks (despit doing more for Africa than any human being who has ever lived). McCain, who told supporters that Obama was a good man and that "we have nothing to fear if he's elected president" was described a senile old racist. Same with Romney, who ws a gentleman yet was portrayed a s heartless plutocrat who hates women.

GS, on almost every single issue, the left claims the conservative position is based on hate.

If you are pro-life, you hate women.
If you are for fiscal soundness, you hate poor people,
If you are for traditional marriage, you hate gays (exception for Hilary and Obama, who stated that marriage was between a man and woman, and it was OK when they said that)
If you think jihadists need to be dealt with, you're an Islamaphobe.
If you want a secure border, you're a xenophobe.

Consider the last few Democrats presidential candidates.

Hilary - half of Republicans are deplorable and irredeemable. Think about what she's saying there. That was a scripted line, think about what those words mean.

Obama - Republicans just hate all the time (it can't be that they could ever have had a valid criticism of him...it's just that we are deranged with hate. The world is divided into 2 kinds of people, those who love Obama, and racist hatemongers)

Biden - Republicans want to put blacks back in chains.

I'm not saying the right doesn't do this. But it's absurd to suggest the left doesn't do it all the time. Have you ever watched CNN or MSNBC? Ever?

I guess you missed my question, show me the current response from Kevin or anyone on the right, whataboutism wasn't what I was asking for; but you are the king of whataboutism so it's expected.

my point is valid. neither side cares about civility, only about winning. you’re saying only the right does this. to believe that, requires willful denial of a lot of what the left says and does.

you’re not aware of anyone in the right advocating for decency? never?

Dan Crenshaw going in SNL after they made fun of his war wounds FFS, and being a courteous, civil gentleman?

Tim Scott has said “a tribal america is a dangerous place to live.”

Ted Cruz - “ political disagreements are fine, but we should always be civil and respect each other’s humanity.”

Nikki Haley - “real leadership is about persuasion, not by shouting them down.”

when it never occurred to you to look for examples of republicans calling for civility, are you really surprised when you don’t find any?

And i don’t see value in looking at these people calling for civility one day, when the next day they demonize everyone who disagreees with them. they can call for civility all they want, but they don’t show it. they want to receive civility, but don’t expect to have to show it. and they don’t think it’s hypocritical.

Jim cant understand what the GOP is doing or want to do for theses 13 republican members is because they Gave Biden a Victory full stop! and did not listen to the dear leader Trump and Vote NO .. they failed to own the Libs and must be punished for such blasphemy..

Yet again Jim contorts criticism of Kyrsten Sinema and
Joe Manchin As once again on equal terms with the GOP lynch Mob it's Amazing

then twist the conversation into civility? Republican have no civility towards anyone including their own membership ...

i can understand it. it’s called politics. i di t especially like it, i think we need a smart, efficient infastructure bill. i’ve said it ten times, the fact that you haven’t grasped that shows slowness even for you.

the gop should have passed an infastructure bill when they ran the show. they have no one but themselves to blame for the Democrats getting a win here.

please tell me, what i just said, that’s above your head? what can’t you understand?

What Manchin and Sinema got from their side, is worse than what these 13 republicans are getting.

wayne, every time i post actual events as evidence of something, you always say “that’s not the same”, but you never ever specify why my examples aren’t pertinent

no two things are exactly the same. i’m not saying they are.

civility? again, look at the disgusting remarks by Obama, Hilary, and Biden recently. sorry, there’s no civility on either side.

we can talk about political results if you want. have you ever addressed the fact that a record number of americans said they were better off after 4 years of trump? i’ve asked you about that pill ten times. have you ever answered?

during the height of the pandemic, a record number of americans said they were better off after 4 years of trump. the poll was fine by gallup, not by foxnews.

how do you explain that poll? why are you so scared of addressing that?

[Pete F.]

One poll said that, other polls at that time came up with the opposite.

Fox News poll released Friday found mixed reviews about President Trump's job performance over the last few years, with a majority ultimately saying they thought the United States was worse off now than it was four years ago.

Fifty-five percent of voters in the the poll said they believe the U.S. is worse off now than it was four years ago, while nearly a third - 32 percent - said it was better off and 11 percent said it was the same.

Asked if they personally were better off than four years ago, 33 percent said yes while 36 percent said they were worse off and 30 percent said they were the same.

On the economy, 11 percent of voters rated the condition as "excellent" compared to 3 percent saying the same in 2016. The new poll found that 22 percent rate the economy as "good," 32 percent rate the economy as "only fair" and 34 percent rate the condition as "poor."
Trump's job approval in the new poll registered at 47 percent, with 52 percent disapproving.

Asked how history will judge Trump, 42 percent said he will be viewed as one of the worst presidents in history, 22 percent said he will be remembered as one of the greatest and 26 percent said he was average or above average.

The Fox News poll was conducted among 1,007 registered voters Dec. 6-9 2020.The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
