Democrats For Mike Rogers

6:10 PM · Oct 12, 2026

A growing number of black American Legal Citizens are tired of and disgusted with the Democrat's continuous race-baiting, lies and deception that has kept too many ignorant on the Democrat plantation with little hope of leaving. Much of black America is appalled at the atrocious candidates the DSA and Democrat party have been pushing upon them, expecting them to be good little slaves and compliant with voting because of their skin color instead of using their character and intellect. Don't listen to the Democrat Party slaveowners and their echoing minions and accomplices in the lying press. Leave the Plantation...it is a long road, and takes time and hard work but things do get better and you can celebrate and take courage in your own freedom from the nightmare the Democratic party has continued to bestow upon black America for hundreds of years:

I'm pretty sure this will be the most distasteful electoral choice I've ever had to make -- and I had to choose between Edwin Edwards and David Duke in the 1990s.

It is already my most distasteful.

Edit; the Congress is full of people who have gotten rich and/or are getting rich(er) in "public service". Dime a dozen. Long list. Both parties. Nobody cares, as long as it is not too overt. Paxton would fit in well with a long, long list of people already there. But the ones who want to make this a Socialist or Communist country, or their supporters, are the ones who really worry me.

That is why I will vote for the accused grifter. Paxton. I think he is less dangerous to the long term of this country. JMHO.

Speaking of the accused grifter, has he been convicted of anything? Used to be, we said a person was innocent until found guilty. Nowadays, it seems to be innocent until the media says he is guilty.

You do know that the far left is up-in-arms about what they consider his weak support for the trans community? And yet you say supporting them is his "only concern"? Doesn't make sense honestly.

A. Nor is it #2. Your statements are veering off into personal attacks. You and others seem to have a kneejerk response to GO, and a similar, but lesser kneejerk response to OO. I choose to talk with you because you are generally better about this than others here. Sorry, my bad.

You have really been defending the possibility of the flu story, to the point that when I expressed doubt, you started attacking me.

B. Do I have to have a medical degree to decide if I wanted to be vaxxed? Do I need a medical degree to tell my nephew he needs to see a doctor? If one of your kids starts throwing up, do you just say, beats me, i don't have a medical degree? We all draw upon experience and general knowledge. I draw on my long term dealings with medical issues and the experience of having the fluu many times. Never missed more than one day of work. Surely, you have dragged yourself to the office while feeling bad, because things needed doing? I have. And it never took me nine days. Two at most. You remind me of a certain SCOTUS justice who said she could not define a woman because she lacked a degree in biology. But fight, fight, fight for the theory that he was just in bed, eating chicken soup.

C. All I hear on Talarico's record are campaign ads, both his own and his opponents, featuring past statements. Six genders? and they run heavily to trans teens issues, and have for years. I don't care is some DSA person in California thinks he doesn't go far enough. Why should I? he will sell out our country to those same far-lefties, the DSA, to get the trans legislation he wants.

One thing I do agree with him on - God is nonbinary, IMO. But I don't agree with him on what that means for needed legislation here on Earth.

The person in my house, both my adult home and my childhood home, in charge of dealing with flu and other ailments was called Mom. She NEVER let me skip a week and a half of school.

I had some pretty serious health problems as a child, and my uncle was a doctor, but we didn't run to him for flu.

But I think we are out of line trying to discuss politics here. I don't have a PolySci degree, and I think neither do you. I did take a three hour course in 1966.

Now I need to find somebody with a PHD in hydrodynamics to fix that leaky faucet. It might just continue dripping, but I can't say without a degree.


Adios, friends.

Sorry... when you imply that a person couldn't be down with the flu for 9 days and say that they would have needed an inpatient admission if were that bad then I have to discount your expertise in this matter.

I never defended Talarico. I just said that 1) GO's evidence was (as usual) trash and now 2) your insights into possible clinical course of the flu aren't terribly supportive of much.

Also... my guess is that there was some calculation as to when he looked healthy enough to put him out on the trail. If he looked like crap (which many people do after a bout with the flu) his campaign may have decided that it was better to keep him under wraps for a bit longer. Photo ops and all that.

Excellent example of anecdote =/= evidence.

Are you pretending to be unaware that for some people influenza can be serious enough to require hospitalization and can be fatal? Just because you never had a case of flu that severe doesn't mean that there aren't tens of thousands of serious flue cases in the US annually.

Look, you know very well that it's entirely plausible that Talarico could very well have been down and out with the flu for a few days, but you don't want to admit you could be wrong, so you're just going to keep doubling down on stupid. You used to be better than that.

Full 2026 New York Governor Debate | Bruce Blakeman & Kathy Hochul

• A 14-year-old girl raped in New York by an illegal migrant.
• Four Irondequoit residents killed recently by an illegal migrant, including two children under the age of five.
• Two Nassau County women in their 30s killed by an illegal migrant.
  

Quote:Blakeman: “Will you apologize to that 14-year-old girl [raped in New York by an illegal migrant], whose life is forever changed and her family, and the families of those who were killed? The ones that’ll never get to sit another Thanksgiving dinner, never be able to open their presents under the Christmas tree? Will you apologize to them, and will you please return Sheridan Gorman’s parents’ calls to talk to you about your sanctuary policy?”

Quote:Blakeman: “We have an epidemic of crime from these illegal migrants. There are 16,000 detainers out there for people who committed 52,000 crimes in our state, and you won’t let local law enforcement cooperate with ICE to pick them up and get them out of this state. This never would have happened, Kathy, if it weren’t for your policies.”

“You have invited criminals to come into our state and prey on our communities. And now you won’t let local law enforcement cooperate with ICE in an orderly way like we did in my county. We didn’t have any incidents in my county because we were allowed to cooperate with local law enforcement. But you took that tool away. The reason why that happened is because of you, Kathy Hochul, and your immigration policies where you actually invite people into our state, give them free everything, and you don’t care whether they’re criminals or not.”

Quote:Blakeman: “I’ve said it many times, so I’ll repeat it. When you look at your energy bill, get your energy bill out tonight. Only about 30% of your payment actually goes for energy. The rest goes for taxes. Yes, Kathy Hochul taxes your energy bill as well, and excessive delivery costs that are merely trying to masquerade rate hikes and her slush fund, where she collects money every month from you, billions of dollars, and invests in science projects like wind turbines in the middle of the ocean or solar farms in upstate New York that are taking away our rich farmland, which, by the way, are covered under snow three months out of the year.

“It’s very expensive. She’s paying billions of dollars to foreign corporations for these. And guess what? That’s why we’re in an energy crisis.

“I would extract the natural gas from the Marcellus Shale. We’ll get rid of that green energy scam of Kathy Hochul, and I will cut utility bills in half, just like they did in Pennsylvania.”

Quote:Blakeman: “Kathy, Donald Trump didn’t raise utility rates 48 times. You did! Donald Trump didn’t increase our utility bills by 50% since you became governor. You did!”

Yes, prices are high right now, but Democrats aren't going to bring them down, and Democrats don't care about your family or your safety. Democrats in every state have shown they want to tax you more and take your money and give it to illegal foreigners who have no allegiance to this country, who work for our enemies to destro America and your lifestyle, who make this country more dangerous, who lie, cheat and steal their way to riches while you and your families suffer. Democrats have essentially zero plan to bring prices down, but Democrats will raise your taxes ebven higher, including raising taxes even higher on fuel, to pay for America's enemies to prosper and enrich them by paying your money for tolls so they can hold the world hostage.

Curious if you would like to retract your support for the idea that Talarico was an inpatient at an Ohio mental health facility or is this another situation where wild conspiracy theories are promulgated but then ignored when they are proved to be fabrications?

Yes, prices are high right now, much of it thanks to four years of ungodly inflation year after year under Biden* and the Green New Scan that sucked trillions of dollars out of American taxpayers to pay foreign corporations and foreign enemies who are harming America and Democrat slush finds, but Democrats aren't going to bring them down, and Democrats don't care about your family or your safety.

I'm pretty sure this will be the most distasteful electoral choice I've ever had to make -- and I had to choose between Edwin Edwards and David Duke in the 1990s.

George, most folks I have talked to from Texas agree with OO's point of view: they're not saying Paxton is a great guy, but they are saying that compared to Talarico, he is miles above the better choice for Texas. No one wants the Talarico craziness, even if it means they have to live with Paxton for six years. Hold your nose if you must, and vote Paxton. Texas will be far better off than if you don't.

Well, I think that Talarico town hall / lack of debate with AG Ken Paxton will put a bow on the Texas Senate race. The only question remaining in my mind is whether Talarico will win by 1%, 7% or somewhere in between.

Alabama Supreme Court rules on Tommy Tuberville residency lawsuit

Quote:The Alabama Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit that challenged U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s ability to run for governor.

In a ruling Oct. 9, justices said they do not have jurisdiction over the question of Tuberville’s residency, and that political parties, not courts, need to decide who can run for office.

Tuberville is on the ballot as the Republican nominee for governor Nov. 3.

The first step is admitting there IS a problem, good onn her for trying to address it head-on, unlike the Democrats who continue to allow the crime, fraud, theft and violence:

To me, Paxton is like one more zit on the face of a 14 year old boy - nobody wants it, nobody likes it, but in the long run it will not change his life or anybody else's.

Talarico is like a botched facial surgery - It will change things for the rest of that boy's life and not for the better. That is because he will help move America to t left, following the dictates of the DSA. Weak yes-man.

Who says it s a foreverwar? Just antiTrumpers. Do you have a Ph.D in global politics?

It has already lasted longer than it should have. But that's not forever.

In my book, surrendering to Iran would be the greatest evil. Maybe not in your book.

Which candidate do you think would be in favor of apologies and reparations? He is the greater evil.
