Because I dislike the leftist agenda that's ruining our country? Look
around. Are things getting better, anywhere that Democrats are in
control?

I think that I still am a decent guy, man. I certainy don't match any
of charges that the -highhorse asshole leveled, earlier in this
thread, here: <vg2oaa$391en$1@dont-email.me>

But here's another chance for you (and him). Briefly tell me what
this "article" said that would help me learn the errors of my ways,
and I will read -highhorse's post.

Does it *really* address what I've said, or is it a bunch of
diversions posted so that he could be "right"? Does it stick to the
issue of the thread, or did -highhorse, per usual, blow the argument
up into something so unwieldy that it can't reasonably be responded
to?

The Democrats swung "crazy" as they aged. I mean, "defund the
police"? Really? Who saw *that* coming? Absolute radicals running
the show, there. And that's just one example of many simply *insane*
policies.

Oh, but they will make sure that you can get an abortion. *So*
important to our country, that is. Nothing else matters! From the
sound of their ads, anyway.

That's true but the young ones are no better. Some of them have eyes so
wild that they wouldn't look out of place naked in the middle of the
woods. Clearly, wisdom eludes them.

The funniest part to me is that the women who lead the mob demanding
greater access to abortion are all females that no man on Earth would
ever want to impregnate.

Fortunately I didn't have to watch those ads. I'm sure they were vapid and
emotionally driven. That's all the Woke has — emotional spiels and complete
lack of logic.

There is some of that, but I suspect that a lot of the MAGA anger is
because they know that they're being judged by the content of their

Given the many contraception methods including the morning after pills
they must be the more ignorant variety of females.

https://apnews.com/article/harris-abortion-campaign-ad-roe-hadley-duvall-cdb874e7c3e7fe12fb1bfb95d06e907f

A 22-year-old woman who became an abortion rights advocate after she was
raped by her stepfather as a child tells her story in a new campaign ad
for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

Hadley Duvall says in voiceover that she’s never slept a full night in her
life — her stepfather first started abusing her when she was five years
old, and impregnated her when she was 12.

The leftists always run back to the "rape os incest" scenarios,
ignoring the 99% of abortions which involve neither.

I'd bet that women advocates for the ability to have an aboration for
any reason right up until birth.

It's amazing that any decent person here would support the -highhorse

Yep, they want the rest of society to fund their idiocy much like Karl
Marx wanted to live on everyone else's dime. Just like their idol,
they're usually fat and smell bad.

To show how loyal they are to their party, Democrat women would probably
sacrifice their toddler on the altar of what is clearly a demon and
watch them be burned alive. The cries and screams of their children
would mean nothing to them because the only thing they ever seek is the
approval of the rest of the mob.

I hope they all die suddenly.

That wasn't a hill to die on for either side. We had C-128 on the ballot,
a constitutional initiative.

"C-128 would amend the Montana Constitution to expressly provide a right
to make and carry out decisions about one's own pregnancy, including the
right to abortion ..."

There is no joy in Missoula today. They're trying to organize an event at
the U. I'm not sure if it's for grief counseling or if there will be Jim
Jones kool-Aid on tap. The city probably elected some state legislaters.
I'm not sure if Zooey Zephyr ran. Everything else was red. Trump, the
governor, both US reps, the US senator, Secretary of State, Attorney
General, Superintendent of Public Instruction, State Auditor, and so
forth. The closest was the three term Democratic Senator. He conceded when
the challenger broke 53% of the votes. Many of the races had the winner
getting 60%.

The punchline? C-128 passed with a 15% margin statewide, and 20% or more
in the Democratic strongholds. It had plenty of opponents but I have to
conclude even people with MAGA tattooed on their foreheads really don't
care. Nationally all the Republican worries about Trump's soft stance on
abortion certainly didn't affect the vote. The local lefties are still
pondering how that could possibly happen.

Harris ran on abortion and Trump is a Nazi. She lost. The whiners can't
even say 'b-b-but the popular vote!'

There were two other CIs, ranked voting and a majority to win, not a
plurality. Those both were 'No and hell no'.

There's a U-Haul someplace with 5 million postdated ballots?

Harris screaming "Trump is a Nazi" was deluded fuckery.

Abortion is now a local matter, as it should be.

Publicly announcing that your stepfather has been raping you
ever since age 5 and got you pregnant at 12 . . . well, that's
enough to get you a _free_ abortion no matter where you are.

I care. I don't believe in killing innocent human beings. There's a federal
law against using a bald or golden eagle's egg to make an omelet. It's
punishable by law to "...take, possess, sell, purchase, barter, offer to
sell, purchase or barter, transport, export or import, at any time or any
manner, any bald eagle ... [or any golden eagle], alive or dead, or any part
(including feathers), nest, or egg thereof." But it's a-ok to chop up an
unborn human child, sell his or her body parts for research or for making
vaccines. We have a pretty damn sick society, if you ask me.

Well, there's half of California's vote (that probably never will get
counted now, since it doesn't matter). But the first half only gave Harris
1.5 million more than Trump — so, yeah, Joel, we DO know that Trump took
the popular vote and the Democrats know it as well (the proof being how much
more subdued they are now than they were the first time they last to Trump).

I got a kick out of hearing that Harris conceded but she said "it was just
the beginning of the battle." Like she thinks anyone in either party will
give a flying fig what she does now. She is (and always has been)
irrelevant. That's why she couldn't get a single delegate when she ran in
the Democrat primaries in 2020.

I also got a kick out her trying to say Trump was "tired" when he was
criss-crossing all over the country, every day for the whole campaign, and
she took three days off to rest within the last ten days before the
election.

As Trump would probably say about her... "Low IQ and low energy." And it was
not like she was using her brain whenever she rambled around every question
she didn't answer.

Fortunately we've been "unburdened by what has been." Bye, bye Kamala, don't
let the door slam on your butt on your way out.

I thought this "rant" by someone who would normally NOT vote for Trump was
pretty telling. Non-Republicans voted for Trump because the Democrats gave
them nothing worth voting for. Just like when they voted for Trump when
the Hillary hag ran.

They've tried to work with their opponents for the longest time and only
been physically assaulted, prosecuted or further defamed. Trump and his
administration shouldn't even attempt to compromise with the Democrats
and the other demons anymore: do what you must and use the law to
destroy anyone who stands in your way because that's what they've done
to you.
