That's funny. It's a free country so let him. Only after the elections, will he finally see how little support he actually has.

Be careful... Somehow Stickland was elected and we saw how that freak show went.

The problem is, much of what guys like Stickland, Grisham and others espouse are good solid principles that are very attractive to liberty oriented, small government fiscally conservative individuals. I know quite a few that appreciate Stickland and Huffines standing up for those principles. They even supported themfinancially
They start scratching their heads and reconsidering when I point out how neither of which got much anything accomplished other than rendering themselves impotent when it comes to legislative matters. What they did get accomplished probably could have been done by others without as much rabble rousing. They've also made it hard for anyone to ally them in the future. Being principled is great and that is what we need. We also need people capable of working within the system to navigate us towards those principles. Sorry for pushing to the choir. However, I know some will take issue with what I've said and I can accept and respect you having your position.
I like beef but I do not think a bull in a China shop is a good thing.

The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase used by later President of the United States Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California. The Commandment reads:
Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican

You and President Reagan make a good point. Much of why we have the leadership we have now is because the Republicans spend too much time and energy publicly fighting amongst ourselves. The preogressive liberal democrats are much better at publicly uniting in message and delivery. They also keep the Republicans in their crosshairs while not going after one another.steveincowtown wrote:The Eleventh Commandment was a phrase used by later President of the United States Ronald Reagan during his 1966 campaign for Governor of California.

I'm as guilty of this as anyone.

Correct and he is not going to run for reelection, so it's an open seat.oljames3 wrote:The Honorable Troy FraserOldGrumpy wrote:Who currently holds that District?

Clearly the population doesn't have a clue.

I was hoping his announcement was going to be that he was moving to South America somewhere.

Youre using Trump as the example, rather than the current president?cb1000rider wrote:One work: Trumpjoe817 wrote:That's funny. It's a free country so let him. Only after the elections, will he finally see how little support he actually has.

Mojo, I don't know where you got that, but I like it, and I'm stealing it, here and now. That EXACTLY summarizes my support of OC law, while decrying the tactics of groups like OCT/OCTC.mojo84 wrote:I like beef but I do not think a bull in a China shop is a good thing.
