    No, I dislike Oz because he takes the respect automatically given to M.D.'s and tarnishes it by selling snake oil. He has thrown his cachet of being a medical doctor behind pseudoscience. To me that is even worse than someone like Herschel Walker spouting medical nonsense because Oz should (and I believe does) know better.

    Being a politician and being a doctor are two entirely different things. I have no reason that I'm aware of to criticize Oz's career and abilities as a doctor. As a politician, he was simply an empty suit who barely even lives here and had almost nothing to say. Don't get me wrong, Fetterman is no prize by any metric. They were both terrible candidates. But Fetterman at least has some history in the state and as a politician that Pennsylvanians could look at. He didn't need an endorsement from a wanna-be kingmaker to win, which I suppose is the other angle to that election that has to be considered. Trump's connection to Oz is probably what cost Oz that seat. However, without the Trump endorsement maybe he would have never gotten off the ground, who knows, but he would have been standing on his own two feet instead of riding Trump's coattails. But really Oz could be summed up as "Hi I'm Doctor Oz, Trump endorsed me, here's the Republican things I'm supposed to say now". Even the Republican party itself thought he was a terrible candidate.

    Fox had to admit that Tucky is an entertainer, not a reporter of news.

    Hyper-partisan election corruption paranoia lacks actual evidence, prosecutions, and convictions.

    Can you explain me, why millions of American risk going to jail, risk destroying their family just for a Politician (Democratic)?

    People commit fraud because personal gain. People commit crime to gain something.

    I am Democrat, but What personal gain do I have as a citizen if a politician is elected? Nothing. Democrat or Republican it doesn’t matter, my life wouldn’t change regardless of who win election. So why would I risk my life and my family’s future for a politician? You think millions of Americans taking risk of going to jail for politician? If you believe that then I have a bridge to sell.

    One encouraging sign is that Looser Denial was not widespread in 2022, even among Trump-endorsed losers.

    Mehmet Oz, Don Bolduc, Leora Levy, Gerald Malloy, Tudor Dixon, Doug Mastriano, Lee Zeldin, Dan Cox, Geoff Diehl, Michels, Darren Bailey, Scott Jensen, Mark Ronchetti, Derek Schmidt, Bo Hines, Steve Chabot, Madison Gesiotto Gilbert, John Gibbs, Yesli Vega, Karoline Leavitt, J.R. Majewski, Sandy Smith, Robert Burns, Sarah Palin, Jim Bognet, Kim Crockett, and Kristina Karamo all exhibited patriotic integrity by accepting reality.

    Only a couple of nut jobs can't handle the truth and respect the will of the People.
