Conservatives call on GOP leaders to step down

[pete_29]

I’m not rubbing anything in. There are a lot of polls on any number of things with varying results. Probably because I was in a swing state with a lot of Electoral votes, I was polled 4 or 5 times in this election cycle. Abyssinia has said she doesn’t accept a poll which suggests Latinos are in favor of SS marriage or certain other polls. That’s fine. Lots of people don’t accept one poll over another. That’s all I was saying. And yes those with my political POV may have won this wk’s election but I am certain they will lose another in the future. Many elections in the past have not gone my way. Probably more have not than have. I understand your disappointment and is exactly why I am not gloating or rubbing it in. I am merely discussing topics.

I’m perfectly fine with living in a nation of plural beliefs. I frankly wouldn’t want it any other way. I am able to accommodate living in such a nation just fine.

Btw the Democratic Party does not give me everything I want. For example I want single payer so all of God’s people receive the same adequate and affordable health care coverage. Christ said to care for the sick. To me I believe that means everyone equally. Yet not only did we not get single payer, but we didn’t even get a public option. So don’t sit here and say the Democratic Party gives me all I want. You would be wrong. Someone yesterday said I want free Twinkies and free condoms. The last Twinkie I recall having was deep fried at the county fair which I paid for and not that it’s anyone’s business about my condom use or lack there of or need for one, free or not … but oh nevermind.

I didn’t say the Democrats give you everything you want, I asked if that’s what you wanted. I’ll take that as a no. The times they may be a changin’ seemed a little petty and designed to annoy the person you were responding to. I also get the feeling from reading your posts that if every conservative on Earth fell off a cliff, it wouldn’t bother you much. My apologies if I’m wrong. Again, since I didn’t see an answer I ask What do you want?

Was that when he started to say “Bla” and then later said he was not meaning to say blacks? Or was that something else?

Exactly. When will people get it through their heads that the days of talking down to people (or talking at them) are gone with the wind? Nobody has to take it anymore and guess what? They won’t.

 

[seekerz]

I hate when people try to make something out of nothing- and that goes for any candidate.

Something out of nothing? Well if you consider stereotyping black people and then trying to pretend it never happened…on second thoughts, forget it…enjoy your evening.

This is true of those who are on the right, if you are speaking form th eleft the media will not even mention it in context, much less making it an issue. Obama is the most guilty of talking down to people and being divisive and the republicans get the blame.

I have to take it. I get talked down to all the time, but what am I going to do, slap somebody. I’m in enough trouble with God as it is.

The majority of the electorate seems to disagree with you.

Help us out here, what did Santorum say that stereotyped blacks and show him as a racist. I’m not familiar with this one.

I don’t disagree, however, if something is repeated as many times as it was repeated about Mitt Romney, most people will consider it true.

We are way off topic now.

 

[qui_est_ce]

I hate to admit it but I’ve clicked on pages where a whole string of posts were unreadable due to being ignored.

If some people wouldn’t respond to those on my ignore list, I wouldn’t see them at all.

Aren’t you stereotyping conservatives. You’re taking something someone almost said and basically applying it to us all.

 

[oldcelt]

I have no one on ignore otherwise I wouldn’t know if they were replying or what they might be saying about me.

Yeah…we’d have to talk to each other and about four more.

I put a few on my ignore list, but I sometimes read their posts and respond to them. Each day depends on my state of mind and whether I can handle their prejudices or not.

The majority of the electorate are fools,sorry to say .In fact,Fool me once,shame on you,fool me twice,shame on me! Can’t wait to hear all the whining when have of the electorate finally realizes they have been duped.A little slow on the uptick,I’d say

John-
You usually have thought replies and posts. You often give historical perspective to why you believe what you believe. I have never seen you cut and paste talking points or demonizing those who disagree with you. You actually help me see things in a new perspective, giving me a deeper understanding of those who disagree with my POV. I may not always agree with you, but you have made me aware that things are not always as black and white as they seem. (Benghazi discussion, for example).

If they haven’t realized that by now…don’t hold your breath.

We thank you for allowing us to be worthy. :bowdown:

Not off topic at all. If GOP leaders and their followers think that people need interpreters to “repeat to them” the fact that someone is talking down to them - then they have a greater problem than I had imagined.

Fools because they refuse to vote for people who very obviously have not a shred of respect for them? How many brain cells does it take to figure that out?

There is a video in this article that is what he said. There are other videos out there that have been tampered with to make it sound more like he said “black” and they don’t have the full content of what he was saying.
