It’s a bad strategy I think. Just pick the people. I was saying that politicians pander for votes all the time and with every pick for a spot that isn’t up to a vote - Trump picking Pence was my example. There are many. It should've been clear... you responded to this post: That's how it got started. LOL Trump didn't pick Pence, the party did. Trump never liked Pence.

BeachGuy23 642 Posted October 3, 2023 So we agree that parties pick folks all the time based on lots of stuff othe than who's most qualified. Glad I cleared that up for you guys who were being so angry that Newsome wanted to pick a qualified black female to help balance out the old, white man show that runs our country. That wasn't so hard now was it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump never liked Pence. Your point wasn’t clear that’s why I asked. Trump didn’t pick Pence but was told to by the RNC why would they want Pence? To check some boxes?

I said that they were just pandering. You then said everyone panders. I didn't deny that. But when I tried the same argument that you did "best candidate" (after you brought up Trump), you said they just pandered. Meaning, you're giving the Democrats the benefit of the doubt that they picked the best person, but you aren't giving that same latitude to the Republicans. You just confirmed your hypocrisy.

I think you are confused. I said that I assumed team Newsome did their due diligence…on that she could actually be named Senator in California even though she resides in Maryland. There were posts asking if this could be stopped because it was illegal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's leave it at, they all pander... it's just that Liberals are open about it by telling you exactly what they're doing. I think we can both agree that's what's going on. We can also both agree that the Liberals are ok with this type of racism, or prejudice... if you like that term better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely agree that politicians pander and it is part of the process of getting elected. I didn’t realize you were honed in on this due diligence comment until you mentioned it. I would assume they did that on the legal matters of selecting this woman. But, you never know. I wasn’t sure what point you were making so I asked. I wouldn’t call what Biden and Newsome did in these cases racist or prejudice. It is definitely political - and I’d say a bad political move. In Newsome’s case in particular I do find it odd he isn’t highlighting more that he didn’t do this when replacing Kamala and he feels as it is the right move to do so here. I think that is a fair point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's like Tim, he doesn't believe anything he says, his only point is to incite people here and troll them and personally attack them. However I do find it personally hilarious that Wade Garrett takes pride in being a "tell it like I see it" tough guy, but has had to shut down his bigoted comments, shut down his anti-LGBT comments and shut down his "catch phrases" because it would out him using an alias and only get him rebanned again. How can you be a "tell it like it is" person in your own mind, when you self neuter just to try to scrape a little more time before the new alias gets banned like the old ones. Now it is JamesDaulton/Ravenfan/WadeGarrett/Beachguy23. Garrett tried to disguise it but can`t help himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
