The real extremism on abortion is from the Democrats, many of which view infanticide as "abortion". Republicans need to call out Democrats on that issue and do a much better job of messaging on the issue.

With rising crime, people want to be able to defend themselves, and the GOP standing firm on gun rights plays well with voters.

The topic of discussion is mostly subjective. I think democrats will do well on the topics of abortion and guns. Conservatives are over playing their hand and out of step with public opinion. It killed you in 2022. I predict a similar out come in 24 unless the pubs stop catering to far right extremists.

BTW: You should check out the latest audio of Ted Cancun Cruz.
"They can’t just be, you know, ‘Somebody tweeted that.’ There’s got to be demonstrable facts that can be laid out with evidence because that’s what a court of law is going to look to ― not just an allegation but actual facts.”

Because Trump did it too. They all do it.

When we are strangled in debt, this spendthrift Biden is giving away our tax money without Congress' approval? How is this legal? How is this not an impeachable offense? A billion dollars and that is just Biden's giveaway money on his own say-so? We are a banana republic more and more every day.

The courts never allowed any of these cases filed right after the election to get to the discovery stage, where evidence could have been obtained from the election officials. Election officials themselves have worked to make evidence unavailable. In some cases, like the Georgia Chief Justice, they fudged the rules themselves to sit on things to allow the stall ball.

You obviously know nothing about how the law operates, and just rehash the far left talking points.

You have no facts. If you did, the courts would work in your favor. Anybody can make stuff up. The first clue was drunk Rudi and that batch*t kraken lady. Good lord man, that alone should tell you what every reputable lawyer already knew. No, we all sucked it up when the dumpster won in 2016, As an American I will not forgive or forget those who attempt to destroy my country from within. You lost. You get another shot in 2024. Best of luck.

Hard to like any of them but I like moderate republicans. I like our Governor. Obama.

Since you despise the leaders of the Republican Party, and out of complete curiosity Big Bob: Who are the Leftist politicians that you favor?

This is a liberal attempt to take over the board. The organization sponsoring this lawsuit, Common Cause, is an ultra-liberal pressure group that often allies with Democrats but almost never with Republicans. It very often works hand in glove with the Democrats on redistricting issues. The individual plaintiffs are just front men for Common Cause (an organization I sometimes hear conservative call Communist Cause). The way Locke writes this article, they seem to have someone on staff who is totally clueless.

If one looks at the voting behavior of Unaffiliated voters, the overwhelming majority are either straight ticket Republican voters (the larger group) or straight ticket Democrat voters. If one or more Unaffiliated are being placed on election related boards, it matters who does the appointing, as it can have a definiate partisan impact on control of the board.

A good example is the "non-partisan" redistricting board in Michigan. The Democrats managed to get several "Unaffiliated" voters onto it who although registered Unaffiliated had a history of major involvement in Democrat campaigns. The same thing happened some years ago when a redistricting board was set up in Arizona with one Independent member who turned out to be a liberal who voted in lockstep with the Democrats and gave them a highly partisan new congressional map.

When Locke puts out articles on political topics, they need writers who understand the actual politics of what is going on.

Well, Big Government Bob, the simple situation was that without any investigation through the courts, Fox lacked the conclusive evidence. They should have realized how fickle American courts are on such issues, not like the European courts that will get to the bottom of election fraud. They should have realized that lack of any real investigation would leave them high and dry on evidence, and so protected themselves by at least putting a brief responsive comment from the other side on the air on the issue in their broadcasts. Somebody in their legal department screwed up. It is not that difficult for them to cover themselves and still report the election problems.

Watching the planet melt is not a religion. It's just an observation.
