The pride of the south - keep on campaigning on this lunacy, righties:

So much right-wing pride!

Oh this is priceless! Trump supporters showcasing their state. Can't even tell you exactly why they support the Republican party. The only thing they can come up with is "God and guns".

A reasonable moderate conservative like Romney would win a hundred times in a row at this point. The left has to get rid of the craziness if they want reasonable voters to come back.

Your posts on this forum preclude you from being a centrist. Why would you claim otherwise? Don't want to be labeled as a right winger? I thought you guys were proud of that moniker.

These types of boards are super partisan. You will be labeled one or the other by the extreme of either side if you take a stance on ANYTHING.
A centrist is a "right-winger" to the far left and a "liberal" to the far right because there is no middle ground with extremists. I find the far left to be a larger percent of the left than the far right is of the right. This is because the far right is not justified or backed by mass media and our educational system. It's actually quite the opposite.

As I have stated before, there is a sense of righteousness attached to extreme left-wing politics which exists to a much smaller degree with extreme right wing politics. It is the reason why the KKK understands that they are a fringe group, but the violent protesters from the left believe their values are the norm.

Anyways, you can be a Trump supporter while still being right in the middle just like you could with Obama, Bush, or Clinton. This is a difficult concept for people with extreme political views because the notion that one can still support a movement or political figure without supporting all of their views doesn't make sense to someone that is politically charged.

The first time I post that I don't care about abortions or which bathroom a ladyboy goes pee in, I'll be called a "snowflake" or a "lybtard." The first time that I post anything in a gun debate regarding my support for common since gun control, I will instantly become one of "them." The first time I mention that I don't support offshore drilling or fracking, I'll be a liberal pretending to be a centrist.


People get so programmed in regards to fighting the other team on these forums that they forget that there is a large portion of the population that still thinks for itself.

Poll? Did someone say poll?

I thought cons will never, ever believe in polls again.

The two polls taken the day before have him at 44 and 46.....so Rasmeussen is a little high.

Oh -- the sky is falling -- the sky is falling.

Remember when the polls said Clinton would win?

So how old are you kid?

You've labeled me, so I'll try to label you

Female or gay dude
in 20's or early 30's
Single or in a crappy relationship
Probably lives in some place like Seattle, San Francisco, or Portland
Wears stupid glasses
Went to college, but is not using the worthless degree
Drives an economy car or maybe a wagon
Has stupid tattoos
Eats out all the time
has tons of credit card dept
Owns a resuce dog or cat


How did I do?

Do me
I want to see how close you get.
I'll be 100% honest if you are.
This could be fun. We can see how off base or spot on our perception is after just reading a few posts.

Indeed, the real tragedy is not the shrillness, inconsistency or foolish distractions by the Left, but the utter capitulation of what used to be a responsible, commerce-friendly Right.

I've seen videos of Odummy supporters that were far worse.

I want Democrats to take control from an unstable president who constantly lies and constantly insults people of this great country. And I’m disgusted with republicans for being afraid of not standing up to him.
