Conservatives and Liberals

Is there anything Larry Hogan can not do?

I wish we could give Hogan credit for this, but that's a bridge too far.

Hogan has been relatively good on environmental issues, especially given the GOP in MD being so rurally based and business oriented. So, it'd be fair to say that the Bay's health is on his agenda.

My mouth is watering though!

Delicious

Beyond delicious. That flavor ranks real high on my list of favorites.
A banner year for those things really is mouth watering.

Difference between Ds and Rs in their acceptance of foreign language speakers in the US.

This is such junk..........what is the purpose of this post? Purpose of the PEW "survey" is a joke. Not only that, the MSN link to the "survey" indicates NOTHING that the article pretends to portray.

Are there any r's that think this is "American"?

I find it DEPLORABLE:

Really?
The PEW research covers many aspects of attitudes on race and it seems to me that MSN piece fairly stated many of the most relevant takeaways.

There's a consistent finding throughout the PEW survey that attitudes on these various issues have marked differences depending on various demographic factors, but are most pronounced based on party identification.

For instance white Democrats have a very different set of attitudes about race than do white Republicans.

We can debate how the parties have aligned in these ways, but the findings are quite consistent with what we see displayed politically.

My wife and I had dinner this past weekend with some fellow life-long Republicans, significant political donors, active in the GOP for many, many years. Staunch GOP. The wife has formally withdrawn from the GOP, husband considering doing so. I found it striking, as I hadn't expected them to be so upset, attitudes about race were one of the factors they mentioned, rule of law the other.

3 sides to every story. But, Dana lost credibility with this sentence:

Barack Obama pitch his remedies for the market crash

TARP-market crash remedies were already sitting on the Resolute Desk when he arrived. Unless he's talking about all those "shovel ready" jobs, another one of Obama's HUGE failures.

What are the other two sides?

This isn't cool, and you know it.

No, it's NOT cool. But, to be clear, the entire process and the delusion that we have "freedom" of the press has too long been ignored. I've discussed the gatekeeper nonsense to our elected officials before.

Didn't hear you....the WashingPost....or any other pretend liberals when access was denied to other members of the press.

Do most of you even know the process of getting credentials? exactly

But, Dana can tell you why or the other two sides. B/c, this sentence is also laughable.

The White House press office granted exceptions to the other seven, but not to me. I strongly suspect it’s because I’m a Trump critic. in regards to other WashPost reporters. Yup, Dana is the ONLY washPost employee that is a tRump critic.

Yes. I know that smaller, and from back in my day, more liberal publication have been denied access.

But that's the tradition. Big boys get a seat at the table. Would I prefer they rotate smaller voice through? Yep.

He is just looking for attention. It's what he does.

My mother in law who has been a long time member of the GOP women’s club and some of her other members now describe Trump as a terrible human being and bigot.

A number of young republicans in my county canvassing in 2018 reported back that Republican voters were saying they were never supporting a Republican again

So, when you post here, you are NOT looking for attention?

That too, but the "terrible human being and bigot" part is the sort of thing I hear more than anything else.

By the way as I recall my county in Maryland voted for Trump in 2016

[HooDat]

but the "terrible human being and bigot" part is the sort of thing I hear more than anything else.

what I am hearing more and more of is people not even catching their breath between saying Trump is a terrible human being and whispering that they plan to vote for him in 2020...

[a fan]

If I'm running for POTUS, I'm running on more tax cuts. Cut 'em in half again. The fallout is the next President's problem.

If voters don't care, can't add, and don't understand the whole economy is built on loans---borrowing financial success from our future, why should our leaders?

Trump will win again.

We obviously run in different crowds.

But, yes, there are lots of people who think he's a terrible human being... but he hates them immigrants, specially the wetbacks and towel heads, so that's good enough for me. Or he's gonna overturn Roe. Or he's a terrible human being but I hate Dems worse.

What's truly crazy is when a guy tells me, "I don't like the tweets, but Trump loves this country". Or, 'yeah, I know he lies, but the Dems lie much more'.
