GeorgiaDon 340 #6 June 29, 2022 It's not a coincidence I think that the rights Thomas targeted for "correction," are the ones the Catholic church opposes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know full well if the 'government' was directed by Muslims, those people would have a shit fit about "Sharia Law". And pass laws prohibiting it. And ban mosques. And prohibit headscarves on women. If it's being directed by Christians, then it's all ok because that's what God wants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And of course both Putin and large parts of the US Christian right believe their god wants Russia to control eastern Europe in the name of Her church.

A perk of being an unaffiliated voter in CO is that in primary elections, you receive ballots for both major parties, but can only mail in one of them. So this year I mailed in the GOP ballot just so I could vote against Tina Peters. Edited June 30, 2022 by ryoder Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only 'catch' is that you can't cross parties during the primary. That is, you can't vote for, say, a republican rep and then democrat gov. I've voted both for the candidate I wanted, and for the opponent of the candidate I really didn't want. Party didn't matter as much as how much I wanted or didn't want a particular candidate.

ryoder 1,381 #17 July 21, 2022 Tina Peters yet again. The stupidity of this fool is mind-boggling. New arrest warrant issued for Tina Peters after she allegedly violated protection order, bond conditions An arrest warrant was issued Thursday afternoon for indicted Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters — the second in as many weeks — after she allegedly violated a protection order and the conditions of her bond by sending an email seeking a recount of votes in the Republican primary for secretary of state last month, which she lost.
