R.I.P. Republican Party

And I don't think Trump is much of a germaphobe. If he is, he's not a good one because he caught the Covid.

HI is not making this up, these were your words Tee. You may be using a bit of word salad but I interpret this as you saying a donation to a known pedophile was with the results.  

Tee absolutely did say it. Quite shocking from a pretty respected and normally sane member of this board. Quite frankly, it was 1000 times worse than anything coltfan or HHS ever said on this board.

First, he wasn’t a known pedophile, it was hypothetical. Second that is very different from saying “a pedophile is worthy of my support”. HI left out all of the context. It was important in the hypothetical.

Head Idiot wrote:No. You have to own that crazy shit. You flat said that if a pedophile could get rid of Donald Trump you would support him.

Frankly, it's one of the most astonishingly bat shit crazy things ever said here and just proves how far gone you are.

That is what I said.

If a peeing Russian hooker could get rid of Trump I would have covered her tip.

Nothing crazy about that bat shit.

Hypothetical or not, you still said you would support a pedophile if he was able to rid the world from Trump.

Whether this guy turns out to be a pedophile is a moot point, you said you would support one.

I just disagree with that, but you guys are welcome to that opinion. I love this country, it was being taken down the sewer by Trump, he had to go.

I was being honest, those other two guys got in trouble here for not being honest.

And didn't win.

Democratic voters resoundingly rejected her because she was nuts. Unlike Greene, who publicly espoused dangerously irresponsible conspiracy theories and violence and was elected by Republican voters.

I can't read the entire article because it's behind a paywall but the part that is visible has this quote from McKinney:

"We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th. . . . What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? . . . What do they have to hide?"

McKinney declined to be interviewed yesterday, but she issued a statement saying: "I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11. A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case."

What here is not true? It is not a secret that the 9/11 attacks constituted a massive intelligence failure. And members of the Bush administration DID personally profit from the 9/11 attacks. Hell, his VP was the CEO of Halliburton. In fact, there were several lawsuits filed after the attacks that attempted to decipher Halliburton's accounting practices.

Now, that doesn't mean the administration planned the attack. But certainly, people in Bush's administration and those close to him DID profit off that attacks, at least in regards to the American reponse to those attacks.

Regardless, McKinney's comment, however clumsy, is not even close to the recklessness and irresponsibility of blaming Jewish space lasers for forest fires and paid actors for staging school shootings.

You understand that makes the voters in that district look even worse, right?

Again...how does this equate to Greene?

Greene is still in Congress. She's not going anywhere. In the article you linked, Jones RESIGNED from the post (which, by the way, was some vague position with little influence) after it was revealed that he had associated with the truther group.

In other words, he was punished for his poor judgement.

Greene is still in Congress. If Jones had to resign from a middling bureacratic position for his irresponsibile embrace of a conspiracy theory, Greene should certainly have to resign from Congress, where she will have way more influence that Jones ever would have had.

Here's some other gems from McKinney-

McKinney, as a Green Party presidential candidate in 2008, also once claimed that thousands were executed under the cover of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, their bodies dumped into the swamps of Louisiana.

These are McKinney's own words

Everyone now knows that the Bush administration did not tell the truth about many things, including the Iraq war and 9/11. The leaders of the 9/11 Commission told us that. Why must the world continue to live inside a lie? I remain hopeful that we will learn the truth because more and more people around the world are demanding it.

At least she comes by it honest-

Her father, Georgia state legislator Billy McKinney, shared his version with an Atlanta television reporter on August 19, 2002, the night before she lost. The reporter had asked Billy McKinney about his daughter's use of a years-old, moth-balled endorsement from former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young. Such endorsements were worthless, the elder McKinney replied, because "Jews have bought everybody. Jews." In case the reporter didn't understand, he spelled the word: "J-E-W-S." (A few weeks later, in a runoff against a political neophyte, Billy McKinney became a former Georgia state legislator.)

How? It's their fault the Dems didn't throw anyone against her? She could have won 1-0.

Keep moving those goalposts.

You get the rona from breathing air. Germaphobes breathe too.

Didn't you get it despite following all the protocols?

Well, the reason McKinney was running for President for the Green Party is because she lost the Democratic run-off in 2006. Voters held her to account for the nonsense she espoused.

Again...Ihe point you are missing is accountability. There have been some Democrats who have said stupid, informed, and reckless things and have held terrible positions on issues. But those Democrats are usually removed from power, either by elections or by resigning.

We will have to wait to see if the fine people of Georgia's 14th District will hold Greene to that standard. I sure hope they do because she shouldn't be in Congress.

Obviously the Democrat establishment and media has disowned him and punished him severely for his actions. You can see him wallow in his punishment nightly on CNN and his 6-7 figure salary.
