Your voting record is not available to anyone because they take your name off the ballot before they start counting.
I don't care if you think I'm a "True Republican" or not. I know what my registration card says. I know how I've voted, usually for Republicans, sometimes not. The only reason to register for a party is to influence it and vote in its primaries. That's what I did. It's not a matter of identity. I'm no more or less Republican than anybody who has registered with the party.
So many of the errors and hyperventilating and pants wetting that you may see among people when they discuss politics is due to them making it an identity, or believing that one of the parties hates or upholds the other aspects of their identity.
To be fair, if you were a black person in the south in the first part of the twentieth century, the Democratic party really did hate your identity. If you were a gay person in any part of the twentieth century, the Republican party really did want you to be punished for what you might be doing behind closed doors in the privacy of your home. But both of those issues are basically resolved now, and most people were never gay or black in the first place, yet to this day most of us seem to approach politics like our identity is under attack.
I think both of us have, at least once, watched a girl we like get affection from another man. That's a common experience. For me it was almost 15 years ago. That feeling sucks. Politics never makes me feel that way because I don't confound it with my identity or love life.
I picked a heckuva day to quit drinking...

Militant Libertarian? hahahahaha. Sounds rather childish. So you take no responsibility for any political position?
Yeah, that fits with your posting history. Stand on the sidelines and throw tantrums. No wonder you are a Trumpette. He's not serious either.
You and Byron complement each other - trying hard to come up with silly phrases and views.
I get that you don't understand common political principles, it's quite evident in your postings that you just follow the ol' Dem party line exacerbated by a helping of TDS.

Time to pick it up again.
There's protest.... Then there's annoying screaming/shrieking
Congrats JUSTICE Kavanaugh! You earned it!
Character assassination failed. What will the Dems try next?
2 more scoops of winning. Anyone tired of winning yet?

More character assassination... Just louder and longer.
Hearing Kavanaugh talk doesn't really suggest he's a man with a great mind.
Is he one of those well connected types who has 'earned' such a senior position?
There's a 5-kegger at Kav's 2nite! MAGA hat required for entry.
When can I buy a case of Kavanaugh's Judicial Stout? - the only brewski officially sanctioned by certain members of the Supreme Court...

Could only wish to have the credibility of a trumpette. The enlightened ones. Not ruined by education or a questioning mind.

Funny how the far left all of a sudden has "a life" when things aren't going their way. You people are all the same, lol.

Bender and I aren't that different. He just went the opposite from me with the Trump|Hillary election which in turn caused his TDS infection. The thing is, he would be all in for everything Trump has done if it was Pence who did it. He's lost himself in the personality and it's obscuring his view of the substance. We need to remember that in 2024 when he's back to normal.

The essence of TDS isn't Trump. In the last two years, almost everything the dems have so carefully crafted (direct support of the MSM, deep state personnel manipulating governmental agencies for political allegiance, flawed domestic and foreign policies of their lord and savior Barack Obama...) have been exposed and have/are being reversed. Adding insult to injury, the country is thriving more than it has in decades. Because of his bombastic personality, Trump provides an easy focal point for their hatred towards the dismantling of a syndicate they believed was unassailable. However, had these same Republican policies and political struggles been guided and influenced by Tom Hanks, there would be a seething and furious THDS in this country.

I agree except that TDS is rampant in the Republican ranks too, guys in this very thread who claim to be Republicans think that we would've been better off with Clinton because of TDS.
