Republicans have to Cheat to Win

Rep. Beto O'Rourke raised an astonishing $38.1 million in three months, as Democrats in Texas and nationwide showered him with donations for his bid to oust Sen. Ted Cruz.

I would be very interested to learn where that money is coming from...



Democrats wouldn't try to cheat, would they?

Here's Fox News reporting on an antifa attack. It both tells and shows the viewer that what happened is antifa showed up to a Republican headquarters in New York city with weapons and started a rampage of vandalism and hooliganism.

What actually happened is white supremacists held a meeting at the Republican headquarters (think on that for a second), then spilled into the streets looking for fight where they viciously beat up some protesters. The person with the sword they show is the founder of the Proud Boys, the world's saddest white supremacist gang/brotherhood.

They know what they are doing and they don't care.

Yep, another example of Democrats lying and cheating. Did you actually listen to the audio in the video? They explained that this "Proud Boys" group was attending an event over there. The reporting about antifa was accurate. They did engage in vandalism. They did leave a threatening note. And there was a skirmish between them an the "proud boys" members, instigated by antifa.

You know what's really neat about this example though, and why I'm so happy you brought it up. Antifa was shutting down parts of Portland last week and the media was strangely quiet about it. But now all of a sudden these same people who had nothing to say about antifa in Portland are spinning all kinds of yarn about "proud boys" in NY. No idea who "proud boys" is, never heard of them before this, and can't determine how they are the focal point of this story.

"VIOLENT FAR-RIGHT, PRO-TRUMP GROUP HITS NEW YORK STREETS, AND FOX NEWS SEES THEM AS VICTIMS"

LOL, yeah, that's not what happened. This is amazing. At best you've got some guys on the right who are reacting to antifa, meeting them eye for an eye. Libs want people to people there is an army of Trump Brown Shirts roaming around.

Kevin doesn't know how to spell "democrat" apparently.

140 House Democrats voted present or against Kevin McCarthy's resolution condemning localities across the United States for giving illegal aliens and noncitizens the right to vote in local elections.

Noncitizens were allowed to vote in elections across the United States for a substantial chunk of the country's history under the logic that that those under the umbrella of the government ought to have a say in how it is run. It's not "cheating" if you agree with this logic.

70% of O'Rourke's donations come from in-state to Texas. 60% of Cruz's come from out of state sources. Apparently, you can buy Texas.

ROFL. "It's not cheating if you disagree with the rules." Well then you definitely disagree with Kevin on the subject of gerrymandering.

A nice gotcha if true. Source?

It's not against the "rules" which is why it is condemned with a non-binding resolution. It's against the law for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, not local ones.

Kevin is worried about some retarded kid trying to hoodwink a Democrat into accepting $38, meanwhile:

But, hey, Republicans are the only ones with agendas!

I don't think we have well-defined limits of unacceptable Republican extremism.

I think what EA's post demonstrates is the Left's attempt at demonizing what is considered among the Middle, the regular Republican stances on various issues, to be "far right" along with a commensurate attempt to normalize "far left" policies.

This, of course, is to push, I forge the term for it, the political center to the Left making it the default setting for what is "normal."

Oddly, they forgot to mention the part about it being a gathering of violent white supremacists at the Republican office or who the Proud Boys are. Must've slipped their mind. Nor does it mention the pictures of violent people in the street are actually the Proud Boys and not the antifa they are talking about. Nor does it mention the violence those same Proud Boys engaged in.

But it does report on the note one or more of the protesters left by criticizing concentration camps and war against Muslims as an ominous threat because it said white supremacists were "put on notice."

Totally honest reporting there. Honest like you, in fact.
