“LOTS more undecideds in the Senate race than in the Presidential.”

I’m sorry. If people are undecided at this point in time they have to be mentally challenged.

Very telling. They have tried but can’t seem to find evidence that sticks.

Taking over a ballot counting machine was demonstrated in a live court setting, using just a pen from the State's legal team, in recent months.

let’s do a poll right here:

Which of you negative-minded people is:

(a) a Putinbot
(b) a Democrat troll
(c) actually convinced it’s all over for the U.S.; it’s inevitable that the commie faggot lefttards are taking over; and, the only thing that’s fun nowadays is to piss on Republicans

“AZ arguably hasn’t elected a real Republican Senator since 1995, that’s almost 20 years.”

(d) actually an intelligent Freeper who watched the court drama unfold, demonstrating why there is no reason to trust the implementation of voting machines in these United States.

Too bad you missed the show and didn't bother to even look for it.

The interesting part is that Sinema threw away her seat with both hands. The more interesting part is that she could still deliver the race to Lake.

So you’re the smart one, and anybody who hasn’t given up on this country has “missed the show.”

Look, if you are doing what you can, like volunteering to get out the vote, and financially-contributing, then being cynical is maybe just how you handle things. Back in Baltimore, where I used to live, they have a saying, “some people have their days, and some people have their ways.”

I like the way Trump is courting Tulsi Gabbard. This could open up doors for others in the Democratic Party, maybe even Sinema.

More like a parent wishing their kids weren't so gullible and could figure this out themselves if they tried to think for a change. I merely mentioned the facts in case you wanted to investigate; you added the attribution that I somehow 'gave up', after not investigating.

so, now your my father?

Hold my hand, son, and together we’ll do nothing and watch the U.S. be taken over by the communists.

As for me investigating what you’re doing, sorry, you can speak for yourself. But you haven’t said what you’re doing, only that you think doing anything is useless.

Here’s something you can share with Putinbots, Democrat trolls, and nattering nabobs of negativism: use AI to find out some things you COULD BE doing to help us win and SAY you’re doing some of those things.

You bring forth Wikipedia? Wikipedia is an excellent source, until it comes to politics, and then is has no shame when it comes to matter of politics.

So, yeah, I have big issues from certain polls & news sites that are known leftist trash when it comes to the topic of politics.

But quite frankly that is what discussion sites like this are all about, discussion. You can believe whatever your little heart desires, just as I can.

You have been here long enough that I shouldn't even need to say this Besides, this is how they set up the narrative so that when they steal any election, they can point back to the garbage like this you apparently gobble up like some gourmet prepared meal.

People had better start to understand, that the only way the Democrats win elections is either by buying votes, as Biden is doing be discharging student loans, or by theft, and theft is there go to method. These kinds if polls & stories are to grease the way to generate uncertainty in the minds of people, especially the ones who still believe that they are living in the greatest nation ever into which they were born.

That is an illusion, the reality is that we are rapidly descending into a tyrannical nation.

Wake up to the charade being played. Otherwise, one day you will wake p & realized what I am trying to tell you, but it will be to late then.

Thanks DeLong. Since I am, according to you, so naive about things, maybe you can inform me how you tell yourself apart from the Putinbots and Democrat Trolls who constantly drag down this country? When you look into the mirror, who or what do you see: an enemy of this country or somebody who feels betrayed and angry because winning has become too tough for you?

Absolutely not an enemy of my country, the USA.

For if I were I would just stay mum and let the nation continue along the path of self-destruction.

Once in a while I might encourage those like you to even spend more so that this nation spends itself into oblivion even faster.

I would cheerlead this nation to keep throwing expensive resources down the rat hole known as Ukraine, that was doomed to lose right from the GetGo.

I would also urge people to vote for Nikki "Deep State" Haley, who is not qualified to become either President or Vice President because she is not a Natural Born Citizen.

I would become a concern troll sounding the alarm that Trump can't win, that he is losing ground to Joe Biden according to the push polls trying to boost Biden back up amongst the ill-informed.

I am trying to save this nation, for my children, grandchildren, and return her to the shining city on the hill as an inspiration for all mankind.

What do you see when you look int the mirror, a slowly disappearing person? If not, you need a new mirror. Because your current mirror is not showing you as reality currently stands.

Any more questions?

Emerson College polling is the most worthless polling to be had.

Probably not wrong though.

Sinema is toxic to Democrats. They hate her. She's pulling McCain Republicans. They hate Kari Lake.

I notice you say “I would.” My father once told me he’d contribute to charity if he were rich. He didn’t contribute to charity.

As for my “mirror”: maybe the most fundamental difference in viewpoints is whether you are scientific, like Aristotle, or philosophic, like Plato.

Aristotle trusted in observation and, so, correlated his views with reality and, even more so, compared the predictions of his theories with reality. This didn’t mean he was always correct. He thought, for example, that arrows fell to earth because of friction. But, equipped with the scientific method, he was able to make advances in knowledge. And, we, following him, have continued this progress.

Plato didn’t trust observation. He thought we only observed shadows of reflections (from mirrors) on the wall. He preferred his own constructions (of ideal forms) to reality.

Well, here’s the problem: the world is complex. Among other things, it is characterized by cycles upon cycles. Since the enlightenment, human freedom and all manner of human existence has been getting better. But, not continuously. There have been time of retrogression, and time of cross-currents. It is clear that we are, in the U.S., in a time of retrogression. But, does this time of retrogression mean the U.S. is doomed? Are we the new Rome, in a period of decline leading eventually to a fall?

And, besides this big question, what can we - as the individual persons that we are - do about it? Since individually we have no hope of changing the world, why should we even try.

To answer both questions, I call upon my Christian faith. I put my trust in God, rather than in the U.S. If this country no longer serves his purpose, then to hell with it. Nevertheless, I pray for this country as God is slow to punish and quick to forgive. Hopefully, the next great revival in our country’s history is coming. It would be number six, as some people count them.

And as a Christian, I cannot sit idly by, but must do my part, even though it is small. I remind you of Jesus’ parable of the widow’s mite. And I can tell you that many of my friends in the Republican Party are involved for the same reason.

I too am a grandparent. Having children is a tremendous act of faith, a tremendous commitment, and a tremendous risk. God bless you for bringing children into the world and helping to raise them.

I take both approaches.

Morals build a nation of strength. A nation that turns its back upon the moral underpinnings that made itself strong will continue to decay until the decay consumes it.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that when you spend more than you bring in, eventually it will cripple an individual or a nation to the point it can no longer survive if allowed continue on that course. We have reached that point as individuals for the majority & the nation. Some of the individuals are doing so in order to keep their heads above the water, as the nation's political leaders do it to enrich themselves. There is absolutely no incentive for them to change the course of this nation, because self enrichment has overtake any sense of humanity for those who are enriching themselves. Furthermore, a nation that allows massive uncontrolled influx of people who have no vested interest in a nation, who are attracted only by the opportunity it presents & the prospect of a better life. That as the main incentive will attract both good & bad to carve out their stake in wealth.

The few good will offer productive innovations which enhances the nation, while the majority will do anything it takes to take advantage of the opportunity, even if it kills the host. In a nation that has no morals that it promotes, projects, or even protects it is doomed to experience the worst.

The life cycles of a Democratic form of government:

From Bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to selfishness;
From selfishness to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."

The Founders believed that the United States should be founded on the principle of popular sovereignty. Popular sovereignty is the idea that the government’s power comes from the will of the people or the “consent of the governed.” If the government started to violate the will of the people, Americans would have the right to change that.

That obviously is no longer the case at all. Instead we are being dictated to now. We no longer have the power to dictate to our leaders. With election thefts we no longer even have the power of the vote to change government either.

If I Were The Devil I Would

I suppose now you will equate me to the Devil or perhaps Paul Harvey? I'm not your daddy, nor am I the Devil. Whatever possessed you to use that irrelevant story as your argument for using the word "would"? I was saying what I would do if I hated my country. None of what I said I would do, are what I do. In the process you & others try to label us as Putinbots and Democrat Trolls.

And, besides this big question, what can we - as the individual persons that we are - do about it?

Stopping viewing yourself as just an individual, and start seeing yourself as a part of the solution who works in concert with others to bring about real change by return this nation to what it was founded as.

A nation that believes in a creator, that believes there is evil & good in the world, and that good must be promoted. To avoid trying to see the side of those whose intent is to destroy this nation. where meritocracy & goodness are not only supported but are actively promoted, by both the family structure, as well as, the governmental structures.

The salvation of Ukraine does not enhance this nation one iota, just as attrition of Russian soldiers does not enhance this nation. What enhances this nation is to regain our institutions. Perhaps once that is accomplished, we might be able to bring salvation to that nation who has now lost a generation of its people due to a foolish plan that was conceived in greed. It had nothing to do with the stated goals put forth. Furthermore, it's a distraction that takes focus away from fixing the multitude of problems this nation has. A nation with problems can help no one until it helps itself first.

Most importantly, start think critically, not emotionally, because invasion is the result of many things, and it too is complicated & complex. Yet that is the main reason people support Ukraine. When backed in a corner they say, well Putin has designs to take all of Europe. Well, if anything, continuing down the path of supporting this war may actually help Putin achieve that goal ,if indeed that is his goal. Because an emaciated NATO along with European nation deleted of arms, munitions & other military equipment certain doesn't help. Add in a US that is depleted of these same items spells disaster does it not? On top of that, the claim that we have weakened Russia's economy is laughable, but the weakening of our economy has increased, just look around for confirmation of that fact. In addition, the allowing in millions of invaders makes this nation spend even money money we do not have to spend. Worse, it pre places military personnel within our own borders to create havoc & chaos.

This may only be a poll you may say, but things are not done in a vacuum, they are done on purpose. Start realizing that & continue on without giving them one gram of thought. Keep your eye on the prize. Do not allow distractions to become your focus, for their purpose is to disrupt your focus.

Have a blessed day, and one that awakens you.

Considering your reluctance to do anything about this country, it isn’t surprising you are reluctant to do anything about any other country.

Enjoy the decay while you can.
