WOW!! Kasich calls out the GOP

[WVUBRU]

Guess he just lost support from the righties on this board. Some of the more reasonable right leaners on this board such as Mntneer and Coop might still support him but the usual ones on here talking foolishness, Kasich just called you what the "libs" on this board have been saying for years. You are Crazy.

I guess Kasich is now a "liberal".LOL

The GOP is reaping what they've sowed. When you welcome in all the kooks, you eventually get a kooky party.

No, he's not a liberal. He is exactly what this country needs. Someone who will bridge the gap and not alienate the other side. Basically the opposite of the sitting administration and their leading candidate.

Yet we have a black man leading our polls, with 2 Hispanics and a woman very much in the race.

I like Kasich, The biggest racist in politics is Obama and those that are like him that scream racism at everything. From the cop who was called in to see who was breaking into a house in Cambridge Mass to the cop who had to shoot Michael Brown. Everything is a learning moment. Well, the one thing that everybody should take is, Obama is a race baiter as are most liberals who feel guilty about what they have. Tell me, what good has all these liberal policies done for the avg man? The avg black man in the inner city? it's gotten the avg black male in the inner city a 90% more likely to get murdered by another black man than ever by a cop.

What did he say?

I've suspected all along that by the time I vote in the Primaries (I'm still registered Republican so I can vote in primaries) that I'll be voting for the loser, like I did in 2000.

My father knows Gee pretty well and Gee raves about Kasich. I guess from Gee's time at OSU he got to know Kasich and really grew to like him.

You mean Uncle Tom and his fellow religious nuts who all pretty much oppose abortion even in cases of rape and incest? The GOP is over the edge. What will it take for them to come back to the middle-just a little?

He's an Uncle Tom why? Because he doesn't tow a Democratic Party line?

Well good morning Mr. Racist, how are you today? A successful self made black man is an Uncle Tom? And the GOP is over the edge in your mind? Gotcha. Meanwhile, your leading candidate is an elitist white woman who acts as if the common man's rules don't apply to her.

If I knew who those two were, your post may make some sense. D-

He basically called out the obstructionist tactics by some of the people on the stage to and including "Veto Corleone" (Jeb). He said if you are having to use the veto, it means you aren't working with the other side and that also means you aren't getting anything accomplished. He laid the blame on the situation in DC at the feet of both parties effectively calling Obama a failed leader and the GOP obstructionists a similar failure. To whit, I agree with 100% of what he said.

Basically. Not sure why the OP is so shocked. A very large percentage of the GOP feels the exact same way. Actually, a very large percentage of moderates/independents feel exactly the same way.

I have no doubt that is true. We don't hear much, or much above a whisper from those folks. The folks we see on most stages are screaming from either the far left side or far right side of the room.

I say it almost daily on here. There are several others on here that do as well. The obvious partisan individuals on both sides prefer to argue semantics as opposed to addressing the problem though.

Is that any more extreme than Hillary who supports abortion on demand, at any time for any reason during pregnancy up to and including the 9th month? She also wants taxpayer funding for abortion.

I should have qualified that. I meant that we don't hear that on the national stage very much. I think a ton of actual folks track somewhere in the middle. I think I do. I think you and several other posters do the same on here.

Abortion is legal. And other than in cases of risk to the mother or some defect in the fetus, I don't know anyone-much less a Democratic presidential candidate-who advocates the right to an abortion past the 2nd trimester.

Honest to god, if the GOP would get off this neanderthal social issues agenda and also quit trying to cram their religion down my throat, I'd could support a lot of the GOP's economic agenda. But I can't get in bed with these nuts.

 

[COOL MAN]

I agree with that.....Kasich is really an fascinating study in political transformation. He was as Right-wing as anybody when he was spending so much time years ago playing footsie with Sean Hannity. But becoming Governor of a politically-balanced State like Ohio indeed has profoundly changed the kind of politician (and leader) he is today.

No question in my mind he continues to believe strongly in Conservative doctrine; but he's also learned that, as an elected official here in this State, he represents both the farmer from Amish Country and the mill worker from downtown Cleveland. Of course, he had the luxury of running for his second term largely unopposed; as his Democratic opponent (who wasn't an especially strong challenger to begin with) jumped the shark with some personal issues which came to light during the campaign. Still, he's become a very popular Governor; opposed these days only by the most extreme of the Left (and perhaps the most extreme from the Right).

In any event, I myself think that need to represent all is one of the things which can favorably differentiate Governors.....or at least should differentiate them....from Congressional electees who seem more or less forced to follow the generalized party line (though there are, of course, exceptions to that rule).

I don't think there's a Democrat running that I would vote for over Kasich today. I would seriously consider a fair number of the GOP candidates - Bush, Christie, and Rubio for sure. I won't rule out any of them immediately outside of Trump and Cruz. Those guys would be horrible presidents. I definitely disagree with Carson on a lot of social points, and my general opinion is that he would be the equivalent of Carter in terms of presidential ability. I don't see him being successful at working the political angles. That's not to say that I don't think he's smart. I absolutely believe the guy to be smart and driven. I just don't think he's politically savvy. I'll add that I think that Hillary is smarter than Bill. She's a much worse politician, but I think she's more intelligent.

Then you are paying zero attention. The Dem platform calls for unlimited abortion up to and including the 9th month. Hillary was asked recently about any restrictions and she doesn't support any. She leaves the decision solely up to the woman. You're simply uninformed on this subject.

I said the same thing to my wife last night. Carson's a nice guy. Very smart. But I'd worry he'd be another Carter.

Unlimited abortion! How about we just keep it the same as W had it?

Agree completely....Tea Party is a perfect example. A candidate's message starts out fine, "we have to abate our fiscal policies", good. But then everything goes south when they roll out the rest of their platform.

Let me ask you a question. You post that the GOP is trying to cram its religion down your throat. I assume you mean they are trying to legislate their agenda (e.g. abortion limits, opposition to gay marriage). Don't you see that in the same way, the libs are trying to impose their agenda. Their opinions may not be formed by religion, but they are nonetheless formed. Both sides try to impose their agendas and how those agendas are formed are pretty irrelevant.

So social issues are more important to you than the economic well being of the country?

The Dem platform calls for unlimited abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion. Clinton agrees with that position. Is that extreme?

She alluded to medical reasons for late term abortions. Just like I said. try again.:flush:

I don't like their economic ideas so I'm kind of glad they waste time dwelling on settled social issues and ignore the demographics that spell their doom.

I vote for the whole package.

I kinda was hoping Biden might jump in the race...I think he's a guy that would work to get things done and not try to demonize those that think differently than he does. I thought he was always known for working with his GOP counterparts.

Me too, Hillary is just too damn polarizing to the right.

 

[TarHeelEer]

What Kasich isn't communicating to, is the fact that we continually move to the left via the mainstream Republicans, and conservatives are fed up with it. I don't mind give and take. I mind give and give and give.
