Sportsaholic Mamaw Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 You are correct.....sounds more like an endorsement. It was not an endorsement it was admiration of a radical, in this case Lucifer. I don't care what romantic name is used he is still the fallen angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportsaholic Mamaw Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 To get back to the thread and not confusion. The Republicans had better take heed and keep using the methods the Democrats have used for several decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatz Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 To get back to the thread and not confusion. The Republicans had better take heed and keep using the methods the Democrats have used for several decades. I'm curious as to how you see these nefarious tactics as an advantage to one party or the other. 1980. Reagan 1984. Reagan 1988. Bush 1992. Clinton 1996. Clinton 2000. Bush 2004. Bush 2008. Obama 2012. Obama 2016. Trump Seems the GOP has won 6/10 races. Why would they need to change tactics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have changed tactics with the 2016 election. Reagan had benefitted in 1980 from Atwater's wedge issues. I think that carried him in 1984. 1988 Bush against Dukakis with some Atwater type tactics. Democrats in the 1980's ran some weak candidates. Bush in 1992 Read my lips no new taxes. At that time taxes had to be raised and the Clintons with Perot's help took the election. Nice guys finish last. Bush in 2000 was given the gig by hanging chads and SCOTUS. 2004 There was a huge discrepancy in Ohio. I guess Bush benefited from Democrat playbook. 2008 & 2012 Obama was very good at community organizing, an Alinsky tactic. 2016 Trump battles with the best of them. 2020 will be challenging for our voting system, but we must have Photo Voter I.D.s and better cyber fraud detection. Now is already considered late for protecting our vote computers. Call me a conspiracy theorist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew then taxes had to be raised and lied for leverage in 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're obviously right. The GOP has been too passive and nice in all past elections. It's obvious the Dems only won because of dirty tricks and mean spirits. :isurrender: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the large majority of posters on here first registered Democrat. A big chunk of the elected officials in N. Ky. were Democrats and then switched parties when the KY voting numbers started going Republican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
