Hiring Moderates...

...is not the way to go...

...if I took my car to a mechanic and he couldn't fix my problem, I'd get a new mechanic...

...I can no longer afford the luxury of taking my political problems to Moderate politicians that are incapable or unwilling to find a solution...

...for the good of my country and Party, I must support strong leaders that are more than willing and capable of producing tangible results...

...I'm tired of excuses and failure... convince me...

Dante’s poem does include a section describing the fate of individuals who were neutral between good and evil. Their experiences were gruesome, but they were not placed in a location that was scorching hot.

Dante placed Satan at the lowest part of Hell which was at the center of the Earth, but that location was also not hot. Instead, Satan was trapped with ice around his waist.

...whether positive or negative many people like and respect the image of strength in leaders...caving to the republicans didn't make us look strong...

...and again the pukes got us to choose between groups mainly on our side...to save SNAP we threw 20 million on the ACA under the bus...

...but would we ever make the republicans choose between screwing Mobil Exon or Elon Musk...?

...I doubt it...
