2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS (Page 4/13) Wichita OCT 15, 10:38 AM olejoedad OCT 15, 10:50 AM quote Originally posted by Rickady88GT: So should we also hold to a flat Earth belief as well sense at the time that was a belief of many. OR do we go by the current interpretation of an educated and refined society? If YOU want to live in the stone age, THAT is YOUR handicap, NOT a trait of those you hate. BTW, Ray, the Constitution DOES NOT say slaves are 3/5. The Constitution says ALL humans have the same rights and slavery is banned. Just a news flash for the slow. That's not entirely accurate. The 3/5ths compromise is covered here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...ee-fifths_Compromise Rickady88GT OCT 15, 11:23 AM quote Originally posted by olejoedad: That's not entirely accurate. The 3/5ths compromise is covered here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...ee-fifths_Compromise I was speaking in context of the Current use and interpretation of the Constitution. I did not say the Constitution never said people are less than people. I used a metaphor to relate the current interpretation to the old, like the current understanding of the Earth being a sphere vrs the old misunderstanding that it was flat. I understand what it used to say, and rejoice that it doesn't say it anymore. olejoedad OCT 15, 12:24 PM One strength of our Constitution is that it may be modified if there is enough support from a widespread and much varied base. Another strength is that it protects the minority opinion. Rickady88GT OCT 16, 11:45 AM Anything short of taking the House and Senate is a failure for the Republicans. 82-T/A [At Work] OCT 16, 12:13 PM The more I look into it, the more I've come to think that the Republicans are likely going to dominate this election period. They only need to pick up one seat... just one seat, in order to get the Senate... and there's a good chance they may pick up 2. Unless the Democrats completely manipulate the election, I'm convinced it's going to be a wipeout for Democrats, and I'm going to be thrilled. They've totally destroyed our military, our economy, literally everything they've touched.

But I understand you didn't say the Republicans will only take 2. You have the opinion that the likelihood is more. But how many more do you think? My opinion is that to call.it a domination there should be at least double digits, 10 or more, otherwise it is just a simple swing. 2) given that you haven't mentioned the House, I wouldn't call it a domination. My opinion is to be able to call it a domination, the Republicans need to aquire a super majority in Congress. 3) job performance of Brandon AND his clear state of mental and physical decline should be enough for the voters to have a no confidence referendum on him. If the "polls" do not show such a opinion, then there is no domination on the Republican's side of the issue. It actually is the opposite, the democrats have dominated the distribution of disinformation, thus having a dominant position over the voters. Truth should influence people, NOT Hitler style democrat propaganda. Censorship, suppression, lies and corruption. Anything less than taking the House and Senate is a failure on the Republicans part. They are gambling on political traditions, being nice, professional and bipartisan to gain respect as politicians. I don't like their strategy. I have little faith in the Republicans dominating anything but the typical losses and disappointment they are infamous for. 82-T/A [At Work] OCT 16, 01:14 PM quote Originally posted by Rickady88GT: Think about what you have just said:...... 1) 2 seats isn't a domination.

I have little faith in the Republicans dominating anything but the typical losses and disappointment they are infamous for. I said, "Republicans are likely going to dominate this election period." That to me means the Governor's races, Senate, House, and local elections combined. Senate is definitely not going to be a domination, but they will regain a simple majority in the senate. I think we get 2-3 Governor seats, and ~40+ seats in the House, and at least 1 seat in the Senate. This is a "bad" election term for Republicans. There are more Republican seats up than Democrat seats in the Senate... had Biden done even a half-way decent job... we'd be talking about the Democrats picking up seats. 2024 will be really bad for Democrats... based on the election map. There will be a greater number of risky Democrat seats up, and the more solid red Republican seats will be up. If things persist, Republicans could potentially get close to a super majority in 2024 in the Senate. williegoat OCT 16, 01:28 PM OK, here's my take: I think that the American voter is smarter than most of us are willing to admit. We like to say that "You and I are smart, but that guy over there is really stupid." That's not smart. We are all average. That's right. You and me and that guy over there: average. Now, the reason I say that is that with most of us average folks understanding the trouble the country is facing, the only way the left could possibly win is by cheating (again). We are being told that we are gaining ground on the criminal class, the aristocracy. Who is telling us that? I don't trust anyone who is trying to tell me what "that guy over there" is thinking. Yeah, you can call me a "conspiracy theorist"...as long as you can convince me that you and that guy over there believe everything that the government and the news media tell us. williegoat OCT 16, 02:22 PM You see, I don't think all those fat people with the pussy hats and rainbow flags actually vote. But you can bet the guy who sold them that stuff does, and he is the guy who is steering this juggernaut. If you push and pull a juggernaut, sooner or later it will run you over.
