The part where you said 'they'll just stay and home and starve' only to come back with 'GO back and read what I said...No one is going to starve.' Seems like a contradiction to me...

Considering the absolute lunacy of the preposterous supposition I advanced (as well as that in the OP) I believe it is you, sir, having a 'problem (sic) with understanding sarcasm'. Considering this it is no wonder you can't help...

Did you ever vote for Ron Paul, in person .

bush's running platform for election in 1999 and paul's platform are the same.........even ron paul says it is.


however,bush departed from that platform, and created unconstitutional laws, grew government, and this started a rift in the GOP years ago.

I wrote pauls name in.

The OP wasn't sarcastic, but we do agree that your posts were preposterous and loony

did i not say for the election 1999

bush departed from paul's platform, not to long into his presidency, and after 9/11 went even farther away.

yes the 4th , most presidents have grown government, expect maybe gover clevland and a few others.

the GOP did not exist until just before Lincoln, ...today we have republican versus republican..........because their are to many types of republican and they remain divided most of the time.

Yeah but Sangha thinks its hyperbole...'Extreme exaggeration or overstatement; especially as a literary or rhetorical device'

Yep, preposterous fits...

hyperbole: exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally.

Nothing extreme or preposterous about the use of the term in the OP

Different eras, different problems, different attempts to solve

since I am a constitutionalist I don't believe in taxes which are compulsory...the founders did not believe in force on the people.

I don't believe either in the way to security, is to take away liberty.

this nations for decades, has been careless, in letting anyone in, under the name of fairness, multiculturalism, now they don't know who is here, and because they don't seek to infringe on the rights of the people.

well my father was a major league officer in the party-at least for this part of the country. He liked IKE.
so did my grandfather-another big Republican. My grandfather thought FDR was bad news, and he and my father despised LBJ but were pretty supportive of JFK. I don't recall any real hatred towards Ike when there were people like FDR and LBJ who were responsible for many of our country's major problems
 
I'll agree that some disliked him, such as the railing he did on Military complex,
Domestic on Interstates, high tax rates, had to join a church, tough choices during WW 2..
He gave us Nixon, the anti-communist balance..
As for today, IKE matters because of the Infrastructure that needs repair .

The problem is the Tea Party movement was never about that. It was a direct reaction to Obama's election. They had no problem with growing debt for 30 years. They suddenly have a problem with it when Obama gets elected.

:shrug: that is simply incorrect - the Tea Party movement began under and against George Bush, particularly his overspending response to the 2008/9 crises.
 
I'll try not to repeat this again..Feel better on FDR and LBJ??
At least you told us where it came from and we should all come clean, as you have .

How did your grandfather feel about TR/Taft/Harding/Cal/Hoover ??
Should we have finished the Hoover Dam .
 
Meant in a constructive way, President Reagan's name is still invoked in a positive way by many in the TEAparty..
IMO, there is an overlap with today's TEAs in many social areas, such as DOMA--abortion--Christian right, conservative Reagan..
At odds with the Libertarian attitude of Barry Goldwater, who was averse to this in govt.
