It was complicated, but in the end you get taxed if you don't have medical insurance in MA and I believe that was part of Romneycare.

I heard Lincoln was a Democrat...

Drafter understands that as well as the southern strategy

Abraham Lincoln was a Liberal Homosexual.

Romney liked it because one benefit was that it would save taxpayers money...there are more than taxes that cost the public money...because having coverage meant having primary care docs instead of using ER's for everything normal, etc. etc. etc.

It's not stupid for a GOP guy to accept something outside of pure dogma if it will end up saving millions for his constituents.

Try it sometime...country over party is a good thing.

ah, the resident Southern Gentleman!
Hiya D.

That would be gay...

Oddly... at the same time

Well, y’all can make jokes about it all you want, but I’m 10,000% serious. Lincoln’s list of gay lovers is as long as your arm. When you look at Lincoln as a gay liberal, everything he did starts to make sense.

Me? LoL 😂 MAGA, Baby !!

I’m 100% convinced that Lincoln was a Homosexual. Viewing him in such light makes sense on why he did what he did.

Nah. He was a gay homo from waaay back. Every his mother knew he “was never fond of girls”. Lincoln wrote the the first poem about gay marriage in 1828 (?)

I will tell you a Joke about Jewel and Mary
It is neither a Joke nor a Story
For Rubin and Charles has married two girls
But Billy has married a boy
The girlies he had tried on every Side
But none could he get to agree
All was in vain he went home again
And since that is married to Natty
So Billy and Natty agreed very well
And mama’s well pleased at the match
The egg it is laid but Natty’s afraid
The Shell is So Soft that it never will hatch
But Betsy she said you Cursed bald head
My Suitor you never Can be
Beside your low crotch proclaims you a botch
And that never Can serve for me

-Abraham Lincoln was a Homosexual

Most Republicans are not conservatives? Then what are they?

Spey I actually agree most republicans are not conservative anymore. They used to be. A lot of folks took over the party claiming the long time republicans were rinos which is ironic since actually they are the rinos but needed a party to be effective.

I probably see it different than kawak but come to the same conclusion.

Not much of what the Republican Party is doing as of late is what I would consider conservative, especially fiscally.

Governor Baker of Massachusetts is a Republican.

So he must be conservative. Right?



HA HA HA HA HA!

Just kidding.

That RINO is in bed with so many liberals people are gonna start calling him Abe...

so taking ideas that work from the other party may cause disdain and insults, but being pragmatic may end up curing our ills.

Country over Party is the answer

You can no longer be a Republican if you collaborate or get in bed with the enemy. If you are not pure you are the enemy.

Good question. I was going to read this and let you know....but, I got bored with it:

I did do a quick 'find', for "conservative" and the word is only used twice and only once does it sort of get to their 'position'


So, give it a read and let us know

I know you're just kidding, but I don't think that's what anyone is saying.

Here in Massachusetts we had Romney.
He's as progressive as it gets (for a Republican) and some of his actions may have lost staunch conservative votes at the national level. But he wasn't a poser like Gov Baker is today.

In my opinion, the Obama-over-Romney vote is the major reason we now have a President Trump.

That was the Liberal side of him.

Now you’re catching on. Just like it was the Liberal in him that preferred having sex with men.

Mitt Romney may have been the best candidate to run for President in my adult lifetime.
Not sure what your issue is with him? Is it the dog on a roof? Or you just hate the magic underwear?
And when the Tripod says "you get my point" it makes eyes water for miles around.

You'll have to ask jet how it's supposed to be pronounced.

I'm just trying to understand the point he's trying to make.

Remind me again tail, are you a liberal or a conservative?

Im not saying “all”. I’m saying Lincoln was a Liberal Homosexual. Take the “radical republicans”. They were as far left as you could get back then. They were all based in Northern States. Abolition started in Massachusetts. Northen States have always (then & now) been Liberal. Southern States have always been conservative, then & now. Lincoln was a (bi) sexual. The famously crazy Mary Todd was a political prop. No one wanted her. Lincoln was just as famous for failing to attract, and hold on to a number of women.

But, sorry for the thread jack. I just couldn’t pass up “correcting the record”.

Still don't get it Jet.

Your implication is that being anti-slavery is a leftist thing.... ie "Take the “radical republicans”. They were as far left as you could get back then."....

I mean, if you're pro-slavery that's your thing, but maybe you should reconsider whether you want to say it's platform of the conservatives.... ie "Southern States have always been conservative, then & now. ".... you're sort of implying that even now, it's only the liberal north that doesn't want to go back to slavery.

To be fair, we really don't have any cotton fields up here.
