    Another emphatic reply.

    TBH, I only care that the perception will drive record Dem turnout. You're close to the upper boundary on turnout in the General, so increased turnout equates to massive Dem leverage come November.

    I'll bet anyone here, and give you odds, that Dems win the House. I pay my bets ($1,000) as Poindexter can attest.

    My $10K that the Dems win the House on November 6, 2018. I'll even give you +200 on the ML. $10K wins you $20K if GOP maintains control of the House.

    Anything else is just conversation from a bunch of GOP mofos in the rust-belt with dirt floors and tax bills.

    I paid-off Poindexter's wager win and donated $1,000 to the charity of his choice.

    Too rich for your blood?

    $1,000 wins you $2,000. Well, to anyone other than MaxiPad as he's admittedly broke. He's admitted that he was "ruined" and "bankrupted" by Dodd-Frank legislation.

    Why so shy all of a sudden?

    No, I do think that a conservative SCOTUS is best for the country. Dems have been using liberal judges for years to in effect pass law from the bench. I want that to end.

    Therefore, I know that all of the liberal scaremongering on MSM and liberal cable can be scary. However, it is mostly scaremongering. For example, I think it is extremely unlikely that Roe vs. Wade is overturned. It has been law for way too long. Perhaps, I am wrong.

    Hey, come outside the weather is fine. It is like all of the liberal media have become liberal Alex Jones personalities. Look at Cenk Uygur. I mean have you seen a more pissed little guy? Pretty amusing to watch all of the melt downs.

    Crickets.

    What happened to your conviction? Ask Poindexter if I pay my bets. What have you got to lose?

    Huh, if that is the case, perhaps they should go nuclear before November.

    They should call it the Reid SCOTUS vote and then go back to supermajority.


    ADD: We are talking about generations!!!! Not just a measly 6 years. If Dems get enough seats in November to change the balance, it simply means potentially 2 years of stalemate. I will trade 2 years of stalemate for generations all day every fucking day.

    Risk/Reward biatch!!!!!

    1. Theocracy is the opposite of conservatism / classical liberalism.
    theocracy, communism, nazism... are all around the bend and meet up with each other... after big controlling govt. (and i note in most cases after taking away guns.)

    Conservatism is about small central govt and keeping more power locally.

    You are conflating ideas of conservatism and theocracy in a very disturbing and disingenuous manner.
    if pence were for a theocracy I would be against pence as I am against all big powerful govt telling people what to do.

    2. yeah you wrote that on another thread... and it was wrong then as it is now.
    Contrary to your statement, the ideas of Classical Liberalism were not developed after the founding of the U.S. The ideas started with people like Locke and Rousseau. You might argue that the term classical liberal should be applied starting in the 1800s... but you can not argue the ideas of classical liberalism were not developed well before 1800 by men like Locke, Rousseau, Hume and others. And everyone knows those men influenced Jefferson and our founders.

    Seriously... no educated person would make the claim you just made. It is preposterous.





    Our founders were informed by Locke and Rousseau...

    For instance the social contract.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Contract

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Locke



    3. So if you wish to continue to make this argument...
    let me know what you think the tenants of classical liberalism are.

  10. Total rubbish. I think it will be refreshing to live in a country where the laws and our Constitution are actually interpreted to mean what they say and the laws are made by duly elected representatives of We the People, not arrogant isolated judges in ivory towers.
