The same as the democrat plan: keep the fed pumping fake money into the economy and greatly grow the federal budget year over year.

People need to register as Republicans and vote in the primaries if this is desired.

People keep electing these wacked out trump lackies in the primaries.

It's a tough job being a piss baby.

It's referring to actual studies.

I'm talking about the vaccines performance now. Not a year ago or whenever in the past.

People are so dogmatic about vaccines as soon as they see the word their reptilian brain just goes haywire. It's okay to admit its a complex issue and the vaccines are not that great in November 2022 since the predominant strains in circulation have heavily mutated.

Character assassination is easier than responding on the merits.

Trust me, I'm much more educated than you. Unfortunately I don't eat less soy though.

I guess you ignored the 3 day old article I posted saying the new variants evade the vaccines quite effectively.

The most important thing we can do is to get everyone in this country to stop being obese and unhealthy.

And all of them failed until covid, which was only marginally successful.

I guess you missed the middle comment I made. Not saying it's 100% useless.

But, anyone still worrying about COVID is sad. Move on.

Turns out the vaccine skeptics were actually right. The virus mutated so fast that the vaccines almost useless for the general population right now. But is that really shocking with how quickly they were developed?

Not disputing that they may have some limited positive effects in some groups as to fighting the virus, but doesn't seem to do jack shit for transmission at this point.

Now that the hospitals have a labor shortage I'm sure the hospitals are regretting succumbing to the church of covid braintrust.

Haha I got a good chuckle out of this.

Well, can't agree with that.

Nothing sensible about assuming ownership and control over others and disarming them against their will with the state's armed agents.

They were veto'd by Sununu. Yeah, they were not AWB's or magazine bans, iirc it was waiting periods or something. You can probably google it and find it but I don't care to do that lol. All gun control is just inching away rights, so none of it can ever be supported.

It's literally very clearly now unconstitutional under Bruen, so they fact that they are knowingly trying to pass unconstitutional laws to revoke your rights is troubling.

For the record, NH state democrats have voted against every gun rights expansion measure like CACR 8 last session, and when they had control of the house years back, they voted for more gun restrictions.

I hear this claim a lot, but when you look at the actual votes NH democrat's are indeed voting against gun rights.

Well I'm not stating my normative opinion when I say that. The constitution is what it is. Some of those are in the bill of rights explicitly. Others are not.

I think the 9th amendment should have been given teeth from the begining to preserve rights that were not powers expressly delegated to the government. It is the "left wing" jurists who have always voted in favor of expanding state power to legislate in areas arguably protected by individual rights.

The problem with just making rights up out of whole cloth is that they can be taken away using the same logic.

I am not in favor of abortion bans, but abortion was definitely never a right in the constitution. The supreme court decision was right as a matter of honest interpretation, even though I disagree with the outcome.

The GOP never should have advocated for a national legislative ban, just like the Dems never should have said they would codify Roe which is clearly a 10th amendment violation.

The problem with abortion is that it's a divisive issue with no clear ethical solution because it involves weighing parental rights against termination of a potential human.

Under our system the correct approach is probably to amend the constitution. But our system is hardly workable as it is, so probably not super realistic.

But as far as the state legislature, that's irrelevant really.

You will lose different rights whether you vote R or D.

A fully R state government kept 24 week legal abortion, so that's not a rational fear really.

Man, if anti-statists are fascists then I must have missed Mussolini completely rewriting the ideaology before his death.

These types of comments are super helpful. How is your response in any way about energy? The lowest level of vitriolic political partisan response.

Oh I'm not really making a scientific claim about the vaccines. The record shows they worked initially and as the virus mutated it got more complicated from there.

My point was that I don't want the government forcing it on me. The same proponents of abortion also happen to be pro vaccine mandate. I find that to be intellectually dishonest. Even if it's good for you, the government still ought not do it. The same way they don't mandate diet and exercise, which a lack thereof has a massive adverse effect on health costs.

I think the election denier claims are silly and unfounded. But it's low on the chain of issues that I'd potentially vote on. The mistaken belief that the election was stolen is not being pushed as future legislation against my rights, which is something the Democrats are doing to a greater extent than most Republicans.

Those are conservatives then and not libertarians. Libertarians don't support criminalization of any drug.

Abortion has been a tough issue across the entire political spectrum because it hard to apply any principle rigidly because it involves balancing of interests between mother, father, child, timing, state, etc. Most Libertarians are against abortion regulation. But there are Catholic Democrats that are for it. It's a hard issue honestly that creates splits in all groups.

I am worried about their position on guns. I am outraged by it too. They want to lock you and me in prison for owning guns. Drive in MA with a gun and see what happens if pulled over by a state trooper. They will prosecute you and try to imprison you per the state laws the Democrats passed. They want to imprison you for it. That is evil and not defensible in my opinion. The fact that they are attempting to do this, but are unsuccessful due to SCOTUS or otherwise, is not an availing argument to me. If someone tried to kill me and was unsuccessful, should I not have any level of disdain for them? I see that as the same with Democrats and can't in good conscious ever vote for someone like that.

I don't think any party or ideaology is in favor on chemical dumping. Republicans have been going after St. Gobain hard.

Democrats otherwise don't respect my bodily independence other than abortion. Biden and the Democrats tried to force vaccination of a novel vaccine that turned out to not be all that effective. Hypocrites that use bodily autonomy as an excuse.

Democrats otherwise just want to ban, tax, and regulate anything they disagree with. From local to national government. Not saying Republicans are a great alternative in many contexts but I see Democrats are despicable.

I kind of hate that we still all use the term liberal and conservative.

Those are also libertarian positions that I support.

Liberals have largely abandoned any sense of individual rights other than abortion, and seem to support legislating anything that happens to be brought into the political Overton window at the time, rights be damned.

It is unfortunate that Republicans cling to religion and trump, and I'd agree with you there, but I hate an equal if not more number of policies supported by the Democrats.

I can't bring myself to vote for a Democrat either, since their goals are antithetical to almost everything I believe in as someone who cares deeply about individual rights and property rights.

Apparently you're not aware of the democrat state governors in places like NYvor CA, that locked their states down with assumed executive power for no justifiable reason during the covid scare of the last two years

But I wouldn't be shocked if you support that, in the current world.

Yeah I agree both parties largely govern as one. But when you look at actual senate or house votes that set the two parties apart, it's clear that the Republicans are on average favoring limiting government, individual rights like the first and second amendment, judges that will uphold individual rights against the state, etc. If that's your goal, it is very counterintuitive to me how supporting a Democrat would accomplish that.

They're also both gun grabbers and vote with the democrat party about 95% of the time. That whole "they're Republicans" thing isn't real.
