I plan to attend my county convention and speak my mind. My platform is we are not a Christian right party and if you want to act as one by making abortion an issue that is a game changer at every election level from the local to the national is absurd. I resent you asking school board candidates and officers running for sheriff if they are pro-life. I am sick of primaries where we get the worst candidates due to need to pander to get elected. I am sick of Republicans defending Donald Trump. Just construct a timeline of his administration and look at the resignations. His use of twitter is not a way presidents should communicate as a world leader. Great article from the Pittsburg News. https://www.post-gazette.com/opinio...versary-republican-party/stories/202206060089 Call me a rino. I will let history judge my position. If you want a Christian Right Party, please leave and our party will be infected with your evangelical virus no more
I recently returned to the Republican party.

My give a Fxxk factor is very low. The southern yellow dogs brought religion to the party and brought evangelicals with them.
You democrats have nothing to be proud about. You couldn't beat Trump the first time and he beat himself the second.
This might be the first post I have ever read where I truly want to read the follow up report.
(If you succeed on a grand scale I might vote Republican again.)
Makes you wonder if we weren’t better off in the 50s and 60s (politically) where there were liberal and conservative factions within each party.
Yeah but it's way more entertaining now. Herschel Walker already has a healthy lead in GA polling. We're going to have our first sitting Senator with CTE
He should be just right for president by 2028 then , We already have our first sitting President with dementia to set that trend.
Imagine Herschel Walker and Dianne Feinstein putting their heads together to try to figure out what day it is. Together they'll only represent 50 million people.

Reagan was really a pioneer there.
Trump’s been beating himself ever since he and Melania rewrote the prenup.
Big difference was he wasn't obviously suffering from it when he was elected
My mind flashes to Biden and Harris who have both been senators. I’ll take CTE.

The resignations were probably a good thing. That gave us Grenell, Pompeo and Barr, all were outstanding in their jobs. Conway was a brilliant political advisor and never got her deserved recognition. Had she been on the scene at the end, we would not have seen Trump’s post election BS.
You honestly believe this?
Come on.
Trump's inability to restrain himself is his defining feature (good or bad, however you like it).
Absolutely. She reigned Trump in and focused his campaign. Without her, Hillary wins. Very smart lady.
I might even agree with you relative to the campaign in 2016.
However, after he lost in 2020? I don't see it.
First, she was a government employee in 2020, not part of the campaign. Second, Trump had no chance in 2020 no matter who advised him.
Why do you keep using the term Christian as if it’s derogatory?

I thought the same thing, is it a bad thing to be Christian? I'm not as devout as I should probably be but I attribute my common sense and upbringing to my family who were very much in favor of the church and an upbringing that involved being active in it. It's not for everyone but we shouldn't alienate those who choose to identify as Christian.
The Christian Right has historically always opposed abortion. I’m not sure why you feel the need to tell them to leave now.
Also, if the beliefs of a particular sect of the Republican Party is enough to drive you from the party completely, then you were never much of a Republican in the first place.
I didn't take his statement as derogatory of Christianity writ large. I saw it as resenting the co-opting of religion & the political party.

As with any group, some Christians give the rest a bad name.
Would be nice if everyone understood what it means to separate church and state.

So you take the GOP, you subtract the crazy and what do you have?...... a democrat lol
Religion is a life style much the same as the LBGTQ community I don't see many trying to alienate them from the left? The party is what it is, you do not need to agree or identify with all of it but you shouldn't push some to create their own party just because you don't agree.
Wrong , again what year was this? 1984 correct? He had already been elected to his first term and was very popular. You voted for a potato that wasn't any good at much before he got dementia. Nice try though.
Those aren’t comparable as lifestyles. Well, it depends on what you believe. If you believe people wake up one day and decide to be gay, then I suppose you could compare that with religion. I believe people are born gay or whatever else. No one is born christian or muslim. You might be born to parents who believe one way or the other and raise you as such, but eventually you make the conscious choice to adhere to those beliefs.
I guess I should say the most staunch Democrats' in my family are not in any way shape or form fans of the LBGTQ community but they don't wish them out of the party because they want certain civil liberties. I don't agree with that side of my family on many things, one thing they do that I guess I like is not try to alienate part of "their" party for one piece of the puzzle.
I admit that I am a moderate with a Democratic lean. If the Greenies REALLY took over the Democratic party (and no, they really haven't despite what some on here might say), I would strongly consider voting Republican. I am assuming you would say the same thing about me?
I think his greater point was that he believes some of the Christian Fundamentalists beliefs have somehow become more of an influence in the party recently. Enough that is alienating some that don't adhere to that strict of a lifestyle.
I can be for / agree with the concept of Green energy, but that doesn't mean I want the entire platform to be solely about pushing that agenda.

Personally, I don't see it as whether or not I like or even understand people being LBGTQ or anything else (I don't hold that decision against them). But I think they have that right to be LBGT or Q without discrimination.
So its not about being fans of the LBGTQ community per se.
Someone doesn’t have to be Christian to oppose abortion (what a silly thought). Unless, you’re inadvertently arguing morality can only come from a deity. Is it ok for an atheist to condemn murder? Or does that position make someone a member of the Christian Right Party.
Way to move the goal posts. Re-electing someone with signs of dementia is different than electing someone with signs of dementia, got it.
