I vowed not to create new topics because a certain moderator takes them down in spite of following all the guidelines, and USMB doesn't seem interested to address the problem, but I have to ask people why they would vote Democrat? In light of recent events, it's clear that Democrats want a lawless society. Let's look at their stance when it comes to the protection of American citizens:
* The elimination of ICE, an agency that protects our borders and handles those who illegally enter our country.
* Cuts in military budgets, that weaken our military forces against aggressive nations.
* Disarm law abiding citizens, so we virtually have no real defense against the criminal element.
* Tabeling Kates Law, which would have given a stronger deterrent to deported felons who re-entered our country.
* And finally, Democrat Governors and Mayors, who want to defund their police force thus making them much less effective.
So why would anybody in their right mind vote for a candidate or party that takes these positions? Why in the world would you want to see a defenseless America? It truly baffles the mind. I don't care how much anybody hates President Trump. Imagine a country if the Democrats had their way.
Do you mean that ALL Democrats want those things exactly like you posted them? Do you mean that I am required by law now that you posted that to immediately change my stance to those beliefs to the letter if I want to be a Democrat? I can't wait to see that law come onto the books and watch the court battle ensue.
Actually, I believe that the Republican Plank of 1956 would do quite well if it were adopted. Yes, the REAL Republicans, not you Party of the Rump. And then do it fairly for everyone. Believe it or not, the 1956 Republican Plank wasn't really that much different than the 1952 Democratic Plank. So the days of the Conservatives, Liberals and Progessives from that time period were made up of both parties and either party would have done the same job as well with very little difference. I like Ike. I loath Rump.
I've been a Republican long before Trump. If you support a party that believes in the things I listed, then you support everything. There is no way around that.
You can live in the past as much all you like. It's a free country......so far. The Republicans are not going to go back over a half-century just like the Democrats won't go back to over a half-century. Times change, and you only have two real choices to make. Given what these two parties are today, the only thing you can do is side with the one closest to your views. That's why I vote Republican.
