I bought a couple of McGovern/Eagleton badges off eBay because I love Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail.
What a wonderful book.

I might have to dust my copy off.

This is one of the oldest and most effective tricks in politics. Every hack in the business has used it in times of trouble, and it has even been elevated to the level of political mythology in a story about one of Lyndon Johnson’s early campaigns in Texas.

“The race was close and Johnson was getting worried. Finally he told his campaign manager to start a massive rumour campaign about his opponent’s life-long habit of enjoying carnal knowledge of his barnyard sows.
“Christ, we can’t get away with calling him a pig-f****r,” the campaign manager protested. “Nobody’s going to believe a thing like that.”

“I know,” Johnson replied. “But let’s make the sonofab****h deny it.”


Just brilliant.

LBJ didn’t have to resort to brothels, or nasty words from 500 miles.
 
On ignore. Why would you bother?
I do wonder why there are so very few right wing posters on these pages willing to sustain an argument, present facts to buttress their case, dig deeper into the matter, engage, consider, even straight out win an argument with superior points. Gets pretty tiresome a lot of the time.

So Harris makes the announcement of a whopping $750 payout to all the Hurricane Helene victims, this after they spent $150 billion on illegal immigrants while she's been on the job? No doubt this will bring out the LOL'd brigade who couldn't care less! Biden is nowhere to be seen? Even she seemed embarrassed. The world is on the brink and they may vote her into the top job? The mind boggles.

Are you saying you want to see more socialism? After Trump has spent years demonising socialism?

Flip, flop.
 
And finally, notwithstanding the beatdown by Vance, Mollie makes by far the most pertinent observation of the night:



Null and void point as Republicans who have self respect are as rare as unicorns.

Trump only paid $500 to Hurricane victims. Kamala increased that by 50% !!!
 
Keep it up guys. You are really winning over women voters.
The line between good satire and incredibly poor taste is often quite thin, but boy this conservative crowd just trample over it and expect everyone to believe its good satire.

Sure the left can do it at times - but posting this considering it good satire is not quite the flex the person thought it might be.

Peter Cook is spinning in his grave if that's satire.
 
I do wonder why there are so very few right wing posters on these pages willing to sustain an argument.

Because;

A) You’re not allowed to be a Trump fan.
B) If you criticise Harris, you’re a Trump fan or “Harris is still better than the alternative”.
C) If you dance around points A or B, you question why people don’t just admit they are a Trump fan, despite already telling them they shouldnt be.
D) If you attempt A or B, you get ganged up on by people who just circle jerk each other.
E) You probably have them on ignore anyway (example above).

You do not welcome any debate or differing of opinions. So I am not sure why you are trying to seek this out.

Please enlighten me, what possible chance does anyone have of presenting an argument to you and having a civilised conversation?

Hope that clears it up for you.
