Tim Scott announces presidential candidacy.

I don’t think he can win, what I do hope is that he pulls the party back towards decency a bit if he runs.

 

i think they would consider supporting DT a waste of money and a personal insult to themselves.

 

“As Christ is being shoved out in America through media and government and being replaced by evil, even evil gods, how do we change that?” Rowland asked.

Seems pretty specific to the one with the Christ fella.

Although all the “evil gods” out there could be all about that Buddha action too, I guess.

 

Many say the left doesn't give America sufficient credit for its progress on human rights/civil rights. That's a fair point but many of the same people seem to believe that America is more evil today than it was at its founding or other times of its past. I'm not sure how to reconcile those positions. Is it mainly because a smaller percentage of Americans today are Christian?

 

Maybe. But "bowing the knee" tends to mean serving, not simply leaving alone.

 

Actually, I liked Tim Scott’s message. I know it makes liberals cringe whenever a successful black man speaks to “teaching the necessity of individual responsibility” over the idea of “being immersed in a culture where everyone’s a victim” but take a deep breath and you’ll be fine.

I know the rest of his brief Town Hall speech probably upset you also. I mean lines like “if you are able bodied, you work”
or “if you take out a loan, you pay it back” can be novel concepts that are really hard for many Democrats to understand.

 

Do the US and world a favor and explain that to Kevin McCarthy. It's his side of the aisle that demonstrates no understating of the concept.

 

As you know talk is cheap. Ronnie BIG GOV Reagan said things about limited gov & increased the debt 186% - the most of ANY prez since you've been alive. As for personal responsibility, here's what the boss of the party of BIG GOV has to say.

 

Exactly. The guy who has been the Republican Party for the last seven years claims that nothing is his fault and he's the biggest victim in the history of mankind ... but those Democrats ....

 

Why doesn't that seem to matter when the right pushes to give corporations and high earners a tax cut everytime they win the presidency?

 

he tried to blame the mess he was left with 3 YEARS INTO HIS TERM.

 

Basically, all claims that "the other side hates (insert something positive)...." are weak. Without real substance.

 

Please point out any racist post with quotes...thanks.

 

The right cannot win without the middle.

Everyone knows this. Question, does Desantis appeal to moderate voters?

Feel free to see how he polls with Independents. It ain't pretty. The left only has to make this about women's rights. I think that issue alone will carry the WH and possibly Congress. I shake my head all the time.

 

It is starting to backfire. Look at the School Board member whose kid was offended by a gay character. She(board member) was excoriated by the locals. Like someone said...it was the outrage du jour. Then you start to get these incidents of unintended consequences. The statue of David? It makes the right look like anti-art, anti-science and anti-intellectual. Not everyone is believer.

 

Actually that is what Barack Obama did that basically put him on the map.

 

Then he said you didn’t build that.

 

Oracle's Larry Ellison prepares to back Tim Scott campaign (cnbc.com)

Oracle co-founder and Republican megadonor Larry Ellison is preparing to spend millions of dollars backing Sen. Tim Scott's run for president.

The plans have been in motion since the 2022 midterms, when Ellison donated $30 million to a pro-Scott super PAC, Opportunity Matters Fund, according to people familiar with the Oracle executive chairman's plans. People who declined to be named for this story did so in order to speak freely about private planning and deliberations.

Another veteran Republican fundraiser told CNBC that Ellison is already planning to donate up to $10 million to the TIM PAC in the early going of Scott's run. Ellison has signaled to allies that he could give at least between $20 million and $30 million more this cycle, this person said.

Ellison admires Scott a great deal for the senator's strong support for Israel, according to a lobbyist who's worked with Oracle and has known Ellison for years.
