CPAC - What does the Republican Party stand for?

Republicans held the presidency and the Senate.

If they wanted to ddo something about COVID, they should have DONE that. But, they did NOT.

Claiming this as "bipartisan" is just plain sophistry.

If you had a complaint about any of the above, you would state it.

I'm talking about the PERMANENT kidnappings that the Trump administration carried out.

Elections have consequences.

And, your idea that these haven't been review is just plain silly. Those executive orders have been in the public domain for months if not years.

And, your attempt at suggesting that these actions were taken purely because it was Trump is just plain juvenile.

The transition to Trump was highly cooperative and similar to previous transitions.

There was full disclosure to incoming officials.

Key Trump cabinet officials were in place.

Congress was in working order.

With this transition, not only was there a failure of disclosure even on NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES, but there was a failure to allow incoming officials to promptly take office.

Not only that, but Trump engineered a months long campaign of lies to undermine the election and finally inspired an insurrection aimed at ending our democracy.

Suggesting that ANYTHING similar to any part of that has EVER happened in the past is just plain BS.

The carrying out of this "transition" is a catastrophic event in American history.

 

This issue must be addressed in state legislatures, in our courts, in our organizations that promote democracy, in our state prosecutor's offices, in our DoJ, in our intel groups such as the FBI.

The questions are:
Do we stand for democracy?

Do we stand for equality under the law?

These are being assaulted TODAY in many of our states - as well as places such as CPAC.

 

Answer? Whuts the question?

 

Who was the speaker that praised insurrection?

 

Is the Republican party suppoting efforst to find those who took part in the January 6 insurrection and get them charged with the crimes they have committed?

What should be the penalty for elected officials who took part in this insurgency, who can be seen in survelience insice the Capitol on Janary 6, cheering on the assault?

What should be the penalty for anyone with Capitol access who used that access to help the insurgency case the Capitol in advance on their assault on our democracy and their stated objective of killing Pence and Pelosi while overthrowing US democracy?

I really want to know what Republicans are doing on this issue.

 

And yet, all true!!

 

Thus admitting you don't know what you're talking about.

 

Who? Who at CPAC praised insurrection?

 

Problem is.....it's just speeches. Just talk. They are the party of doing nothing.

 

Is what you do. All talk, no substance.

 

I don't know. I don't waste my time watching those people. But you didn't either so you have no idea if someone did or not.

 

For you, it has to be kept simple in the hope you will understand.

 

They did. The democrats will have to pass another stimulus before year end as well. I am not sure why think it takes one bill to beat covid when covid is something that lasts for years.

 

Trump has turned the Republican Party into a gathering of hilarious conspiracy wackos ...........

 

@WillReadmore Why hasn't the Democrat party changed its name if it's no longer the party of the KKK and white identitarianism? They tear down statues with a racist history to but keep the name?

The Democrat party must be okay with its own racist history, I guess.

 

Speaker after speacker called out the "fight like hell" rhetoric and promoted the abject lies that were used to inspire the insurrection.

And, NOBODY talked about strengthening democracy. NOBODY talked about choosing democracy over putsch. Nobody talked about reigning in the Republican domestic terrorists who assaulted our government or suggested that maybe Republican elected officials shouldn't take part in that activity, like they did.

There is NO QUESTION where these speakers stand on this issue.

When the party limits its rhetoric to the same rhetoric that CAUSED the insurrection, you can't just sit by and suggest they did't really mean it.

They really meant it. They could not have made that more clear.

 

How about picking an issue that makes at least some tiny amount of sense?

 

CPAC - a MAGA/Trump ass kissing festival. Sad.

 

That was 70 years ago. But the Dems moved on. The same people/places are the problem. When the Dems passed the Civil Rights Act, they lost the South and it went Republican.

The problem has ALWAYS been the old South. They never accepted defeat.

 

You don't understand history or deny history or you don't think it worth changing the name of the party to show that you don't stand with the old democrat party? What is a good name for this new progressive party today?

 

Really? This was more or less the Trump agenda from 2016.

• Blue Collar Workers
• Less Taxation
• Less Spending (They fail here repeatedly)
• Equality over Equity
• America First - Not Globalism
• Anti-Establishment (both Democrat and Republican)
• Closed Borders, but increase in Legal Immigration
• Energy Independence and less reliance and wars in the Middle East

The Democrats, and you I suppose, oppose all of these, so why so sensitive?

 

Why not change the name of your party if you don't stand by those views anymore?

 

You have to do more than have an agenda.

The Trump agenda was pure gas lighting.

 

So, Republicans stand for white supremacy and you think the issue is whether to change the name of hte Democratic party?

 

That doesn't sound remotely like what happened. I think it's simply that the Democratic Party, as currently configured, isn't interested in these issues or actively opposed them.
