Hiring only the best people for the job down there I see. This individual is a pastor, and well, he's said quite a lot of things hasn't he? Whatever helps people get elected these days I guess..

I guess thinking gay people should not be persecuted makes me a left ditch liberal.  I thought conservative minds stood for freedom?

So what is your definition of an idiot?  People have their religion which in this country is allowed.  Personally I think it is more important that we do not elect groomers.  Regardless, the issues this guy in FL talks about is not all that outlandish.  There is a lot of stuff in our water that the wastewater processes do not remove (this is from personal experience as a wastewater treatment plant engineer from a few years back), and in this time of distrust of the government, I am not sure I believe what any agency is telling us.

I will be sure to let my gay friends and family know that water is making them gay is a not at all outlandish totally serious issue. Yes indeed, a sure sign of well researched education on the subject. Religion is religion, and lately it's fast becoming an excuse.

Yeah well... this is where we are now. Kind of a disturbing trend.

and this is why I rarely contribute here any longer. I simply point out that It is my belief that the party I support would do better in national close elections if they would soften or filter  their rhetoric on 1960s style gay phobic comments that that make them cannon fodder.

 

All of sudden I am a left winger. I am only worried about things that happen in Florida.  How could I dare point out a weakness in GOP strategy when there are crazy liberals elsewhere I did not point out. 

It just blows my mind that one little observation on how the GOP could improve their optics turned into such a dog and pony show, without one person commenting on the topic or suggesting if they thought it may actually be a good idea for the GOP to actually evolve a bit.

 

I mean I did start the question with Desantis is my guy and I fully support him. It's like nobody can even process anything that dares suggests improving conservative strategy.

Welcome to CEHST, amigo.

Folks may come around to doing it.

Who would thunk there is estrogen in our water.

Are you saying this is not true, based on your understanding of water filtration systems?

It is interesting that some feel the need to put their friends the political identity categories created by the Democrats.  I have friends, I don't label them according to anything.  Now, I never said this guy was not out there, I have never heard him speak, and I am loathe to believe anything filtered through the activist Leftist media today.  That being said, are we saying there is no way all these pharmaceuticals are ending up in the drinking water?  I think the EPA could use some new folks in Palestine, OH.

Both parties have a messaging problem, but of course the Democrats get a lot of help from the activist media.  I am not sure why anyone who claims to be a Republican would agree to go on any show on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, or work with anyone from WaPo or NYTimes.  Have they not learned that they will be treated poorly by those biased media sources?  Regardless, our two party system is broken, but the Democrats enjoy years of indoctrination that reaches many people, even those that claim to be MotR.

As children, those Republicans probably went around offering bullies the chance to tape "kick me" signs on their butts.

This made me go back and re-read the entire thread from the beginning.  Gotta say, I am not sure how you got any of that from the comments herein.  All from one comment about CNN?  C'mon, man!  

There's a reason I don't register under either party.  As Dashinka said, both parties are broke.  And the more "woke" we try to become, the more broke we get.
