UnfairRepresent 08/01/17 2:06:43 PM #3:	I will let the liberals answer for their own sins in this regard. (There are many.) But we conservatives mocked Barack Obama’s failure to deliver on his pledge to change the tone in Washington even as we worked to assist with that failure. It was we conservatives who, upon Obama’s election, stated that our No. 1 priority was not advancing a conservative policy agenda but making Obama a one-term president—the corollary to this binary thinking being that his failure would be our success and the fortunes of the citizenry would presumably be sorted out in the meantime. It was we conservatives who were largely silent when the most egregious and sustained attacks on Obama’s legitimacy were leveled by marginal figures who would later be embraced and legitimized by far too many of us. It was we conservatives who rightly and robustly asserted our constitutional prerogatives as a co-equal branch of government when a Democrat was in the White House but who, despite solemn vows to do the same in the event of a Trump presidency, have maintained an unnerving silence as instability has ensued. To carry on in the spring of 2017 as if what was happening was anything approaching normalcy required a determined suspension of critical faculties. And tremendous powers of denial.

One he would have been writing for months, during which time he shows absolutely no action taken to back up this supposed revelation. Yeah he really should start acting on his words. Regardless, he chose to make it public now. Take it for what you will. --- Cowboy Dan's a major player in the cowboy scene <cite>NadYobWoc posted [p:883999069] in GOP Senato...

I uh, don't think William Jennings Bryan is at fault here Probably not, but undermining the electoral process definitely is, with a hell of a lot of help from the two party system we've somehow landed in. The entire purpose of Article 2 Section 1, paragraphs 2 and 3, was to prevent a popular idiot from becoming president. Handcuffing the electors to the popular vote, as democrats seem to want, will only make the problem worse. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:883999521] in GOP Senato...
