So Oz going to be tough? He’s up against someone who just walked out of the intensive care unit can put together three words without the synapses in his brain misfiring and it’s gonna be tough. Besides the fact that a guy who 6‘8“ tall is having more problems because of his Abby normal size. If every Maga who voted for Trump were to vote for Dr. Oz the Muslim would win. Do you think the Democrats are raving excited about John Fetterman. What about 87,000 IRS agents with weapons are on their way to Pennsytucky? I would love to go up against Mr. I don’t work until 50 years old Fetterman . Of all the people running for the Senate he looks like the easiest guy to beat especially because he’s a communist with the KKK past and as the pressure mounts his condition is only going to get worse unfortunately for John.
All in time for Bretty oy to get another facelift and fake tan.
I think we gotta take a pole to try to find out who’s a bigger clown. Brett or Hannity since they are both basically interchangeable.
He definitely did, I know a lot of veterans who voted for Perot because Bush was negative about veterans when answering a question from the press.
Thank you for the insight into Perot.
As many people have pointed out on Free Republic, Republicans have an uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
The presidental election of 1976 is another example.
1976 Republican didn’t stand a chance after Watergate . It’s the first time we had a president leave office the way Nixon did. I worked on his campaign in 1972 it was a glorious thing the whole opening of China lotta things going on that was very positive. 1976 Harold Stassen could’ve won that one. A good friend who had an excellent job with the Nixon campaign and after 1976 he was ashamed to put it on his résumé. Hillary Clinton who would’ve put him in jail was thrown off the Watergate commission for lying. Flash forward to 2016 and he votes for her.
Are you drunk? “True colors”?
Just because I don’t like Oz, and don’t want to bet with you ... Very weird.
I’m moving on; please do the same.
I respectfully disagree.
In 1972 President Nixon put together a coalition that included unionized blue collar workers. Many of the presidents and other leaders of those unions were veterans of WWII and detested McGovern. In particular he supported the Merchant Marine Act of 1970 which provided assistance to rebuilt the U.S. merchant marine and with that support came the support of a variety of labor unions connected with that industry. The east coast longshoremen’s union, the ILA, the Teamsters, and in particular the Seafarers’ International Union led by Paul Hall, strongly endorsed President Nixon’s re-election.
After President Nixon resigned, Gerald Ford, enjoyed the support of many of those unions. He addressed the annual convention of the Seafarers and the front page of the Log (the SIU monthly paper) carried his picture. At the time President Ford became president, the various maritime unions such as the SIU and those connected to ship building supported legislation that would require 30% of all oil imported into the US be carried in US built,crewed, and registered ships. It would have provided hundreds of thousands of jobs for workers in the maritime trades.
President Ford told Paul Hall that he (Ford) would sign the legislation if passed by Congress. With a tremedous amount of lobbying it passed. President Ford, killed the legislation with a pocket veto and on that day his fate was sealed. Combined with the recession, the oil embargo, and yes Nixon’s pardon President Ford was defeated by Carter.
With that pocket veto, Paul Hall and others felt betrayed.
If President Ford had kept his word he would have been re-elected. He certainly would have carried the state of New York as President Nixon did in 1972.
Oz’s problem is Philly being spread. And I don’t mean cream cheese. He will win in the end but we have to immediately tear down brown paper covered windows as soon as they try to put them up.
