That Party would have a major problem in NY State.

There is a new party attempting to get off the ground, Salty. Maybe you would be interested in it. I am following it with curiosity at this point.

AMERICAN LIBERTY PARTY

The Republicans took the majorities because of

…Clinton’s attack on 2nd amendment and private healthcare.

…Clinton’s attack on 2nd amendment and private healthcare.

The most important issues were healthcare reform (33%), crime, public safety and gun control (29%), taxes, deficits, and government spending (23%). All of these and more were put into the GOP's Contract with America. The difference between that Congress and our current one is they actually fought in an attempt to achieve them. What have they done today that will be permanent changes?

“All the work we did all these years to gain the majority only to be swindled away by a very unpopular war, a life many can't afford to live and too few republicans willing to stand up and stand against the policies that got us here.”

Nothing in my previous post had anything to do what Democrats said. I used the results of an old poll.

Thank you for using the term "Democrats". Using a playground pejorative such as "dims" is no more helpful to a discussion than using a playground pejorative such as "repugnants".

It's pretty sad, well actually petty when people feel it's necessary to insult those they disagree with. I'm a conservative who has been called all kinds of vile names whenever I pointed out something Trump was doing or said was incorrect. For example tariffs. He said tariffs were paid by the countries the goods imported to the US came from. I simply pointed out Trump was wrong because tariffs are paid by the companies importing the goods into the US, increasing the costs of the goods, which can be passed onto the consumers. I was accused of hating Trump for saying that. I want to point out that was probably the kindest insult I received.

Actually, a lot of that may have started with Rush Limbaugh.
He used terms such as "Femi-nazi", memorable nicknames for politicians, such as "Slick Willie" for Bill Clinton and "The Anointed One" for Barack Obama. Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz", and ect, ect, ect

Good points.

There was a nickname era. Many will remember when everyone had a nickname, especially one that is used when the nicknamed is not present.
I don’t mean that everyone did it, just that it was common.
Some of those old folks are still around and still have code names for everything so they can talk about someone right in front of them without getting caught.
Not saying it’s okay. Just that it was common and habits are hard to break.

I remember as a kid how kids would come up with some nicknames for others. Bullies liked to give out nasty ones to others, until someone stood up to them.

I'm not sure how much Musk can be trusted. Face it, he inflated the numbers when he was leading DOGE. I can see him giving money to Green Party candidates because they would owe him, which would help Tesla.

I clicked on the link KenH provided for the American Liberty Party but it's nothing than an attempt to rebrand the Libertarian Party. It would have the same problems the Libertarian Party had—little campaign money and looney candidates.

 

[KenH]

looney candidates.

As someone who joined the Libertarian Party way back in 1980, I would be curious which Libertarian Party presidential candidate(s) you would consider to be "looney". Now, when I ran for Congress in the 4th District of Arkansas in 2014 I imagine there were people who considered me "looney" for advocating, in the statewide televised debate I participated in, for the federal government to actually follow the U.S. Constitution and for the size, reach, and scope of the federal government to fit within the enumerated powers given to it in the U.S. Constitution. And I imagine 12 years later folks like me are probably considered by some to be even more "looney" for continuing to advocate for such.
