A disappointment.

Yeah, I really expected him to get rid of the whole "God" thin. It's such a downer.

He was an FF towards the very end, but he spent the majority of his career as the spokesman of a cult which advocated segregation and racism. Can't vote anything other than HP.

It's going to help Republicans win down-ballot elections for offices that nobody cares about. Many people would just check the straight-ticket box and be done with it, where if they remove straight-ticket, those straight-ticket Democratic voters more than likely won't take the time to vote down-ballot, and we all know who wins elections that nobody turns out for.

Election laws should not be written around the particular GOTV struggles of one party. That the Democrats can't convince their supporters to fill out an entire ballot says nothing about the about the alleged merits of straight ticket voting.

This post so many times over.

Wouldn't it help Democrats win down-ballot elections that people don't care about, too?

Holy sh**t, has Congress been running the country this whole time?

Because fortunately many "working class Whites" weren't Republicans yet, especially in the South ... The good old days.

I am giving it a Freedom Restaurant because of the breadsticks and all you can eat soup and salad. Olive Garden serves a certain purpose in America: providing affordable Italian food to the masses. It is far from the best Italian food you could get; there are a number of places I would rather go including to my fiancee's, but that doesn't make OG a bad restaurant. You wouldn't say McDonalds is a horrible restaurant because it is far from the best burger you ever have; it serves its purpose. So keep dishing out those breadsticks and soup OG!

I prefer British spellings—The Queen's English is best English.

I believe in Christ and that he is the way the truth and the life. Through Him I am set free and am able to achieve eternal life. Christianity is fulfilling and loving. It is beautiful.

Politicians and other government officials may lie. Forensic science doesn't. This was Oswald and Oswald alone.

Moderate but staunch Republican.

Wow, that's actually a great way to put it!  I disagree with a lot of "conservatives" on a LOT of stuff, and people often ask (in real life) why I'm even a Republican, but to a sucker like me the ancestral stuff carries weight.  Plus I still see it as the only realistic vehicle for policy I'd support.

I feel like this describes my views well.

McKinley, easily (not a racist, xenophobe, or radical).

But pro-child labor and worker-exploitation, with supporting a party equally (in action), racist and exploitative to minorities.

Were they perfect on race?  No.  Neither were the Radical Republicans.  Were they better than Democrats?  Absolutely...

I pray that it is Scott.

We need more liberal Republicans.

This is what makes this election so weird - why are national polls so narrow, some of the swing states so narrow, when normally Republican states like Texas, Georgia, Arizona are also within single digits?

Because Donald Trump.

"Oh look, another two-liner I like. Let's put it in the Good Post Gallery!"

Well, it's true.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Remember that in Atlas, elections are only fair when liberal candidates win.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this forum was completely fake. I honestly can't believe that some of the people here are actually real.
