Looking for serious and logical arguments. Republicans - here is a challenge for you. Put forward logical and coherent arguments which refute the post . It invites you make your case by stating a clear, reasoned case for one viewpoint. Without resorting invective or empty rhetoric please state the opposition case and make a clear argument to refute the points made. <<Randy Weir, Author, journalist, minister, radio personality: I’m a conservative, but I tend to vote almost straight Democrat over most of the last 20 years. I’d absolutely love vote for Republicans again, but they do make it terribly hard. For what it’s worth, here’s what it would take for . Honesty. At least within reason. The GOP has turned misinformation and misdirection try disparage the left instead of just being real. A few points on that include: all credible science supports the reality of climate change. The Democrats aren’t coming for anyone’s guns. Trickle down economics doesn’t work. Tax cuts billionaires don’t create jobs. Iraq did not have WMDs and did not attack us on 9/. Obama is a Christian born in the US and is an American citizen. And Trump is unqualified and is doing a terrible job. Break from the hypocrisy. The right crucified Obama on a daily basis for things as ridiculous as his choice of suits and condiments. But Trump and GW Bush got a pass for everything. Don’t complain that people aren’t giving Trump the respect due his office when you spent 8 years pretending Obama was a Muslim born in Kenya. Conserve something. Anything. Be “conservative”. Don’t waste we don’t have on tax handouts billionaires and corporations that have no ROI. Don’t waste on making our military times bigger than the rest of the world’s when times bigger is more than sufficient. Don’t waste human lives in needless wars. Don’t deplete our natural resources when there are better alternatives. Don’t let people die from treatable illnesses. Be consistent. If you say you’re pro-life, be pro-life. Stop tolerating unarmed minorities shot dead on the streets. Stop tolerating poverty being a cause of death in the richest country in the world. do things that reduce the abortion . See hypocrisy above. Be inclusive. You should want people participate in the process, even when they disagree with you. Stop trying to block people from voting and stop opposing laws that fight discrimination. Stop tolerating hate speech. Get back to Christian values if you’re going to claim to have them. The GOP has abandoned the basics. Seek justice, love mercy, walk humbly; show love; speak truth. These are the basic Biblical values, and the Democrats are better at all of them than Republicans. All of them. All. Of. Them. Participate in the process even when you’re losing. The GOP right now is the that flips over the Monopoly board when they’re losing. They filibustered more times during the Obama administration than in all previous history combined. McConnell refused to confirm Obama’s SCOTUS nominee because it was an election year (but says he would confirm one next year if given the opportunity; see hypocrisy above), and now he has over a hundred bills the House passed that he won’t let the Senate vote on, or even debate on, because his side might lose. Debate is essential to a functioning democracy! Republican lawmakers in Oregon recently fled the state to try to prevent a quorum so that they wouldn’t lose a vote. GW Bush came to power by fighting to make sure votes weren’t counted (after winning his gubernatorial election by forcing a recount; see hypocrisy above). In short, if the GOP cared about anyone, and worked accomplish anything other than staying in power, they’d have a much better chance of getting vote. I think they need work on being a viable party for conservatives before they start trying win over liberals.>> |

Will await the plethora of lucid debating comments lol

But, alas, there are no more Republicans on this site that are worthy debating opponents......The only Repubs left are either dependent on other people's arguments, usually gleaned from garbage sites, or else they are woefully misinformed and illiterate......

Good to see you back Bondjam! I agree with TX and Sparkle... and also with every word you've said here. I don't think you'll get anything but insults from the so-called Republicans in SFF...because they can't answer your questions without proving you right!.

Are you kidding? These people are afraid to even show their faces online and so they should be by the way they write/talk. What a joke.

LOGIC AND REASON SEEM TO HAVE DISAPPEARED FROM REPUBLICAN SPEECH FOR QUITE SOME TIME. NOT EVEN WORTH WORRYING ABOUT, THEY JUST ARE NOT THERE.

I had nothing to say about the fact that you posed a C+P.......at first.......then, when you kept posting articles by others that you didn't credit by author or source, I started saying something.......at first you ignored it, seemingly unaware of the dishonesty of Plagiarism......It took a lot of me posting your sources before you started even admitting that they were lifted. Then it became obvious that not only were you plagiarizing your blogs, you were plagiarizing all your posts, even short comments on other's blogs......In fact, you were arguing using other people's writings.......It became obvious.....your comments were often oddly off subject and formal.....a sure sign. Then I took a closer look at the authors and who they were writing for and found that almost all your sources were from extreme Right propaganda sites.....anti-climate change articles financed by coal and oil industry etc....... Posting articles written by others is not plagiarism if you source them.........You may think it's "nasty" to look deeper into your sources, but that's OK...I'm not here to please you.
