Sorting Republicans

Sorting Republicans

Posted on by Jack

Several days ago I wrote about President Biden’s Soul of the Nation speech and yesterday about Evan McMullin and his third party run for the U.S. Senate. It seems to me there is a common theme.

President Biden spoke of several things but which seemed to offend some Republicans by calling out MAGA republicans. I don’t think the speech did insult all Republicans. The President clearly distinguished between the MAGA crowd and mainstream conservatives or traditional Republicans.

The problem is trying to sort a larger group into smaller groups. Some will fall in-between, some will misinterpret, and when you add politics some will distort.

Soul of the Nation

Soul of the Nation

I am pretty sure I have mentioned that I subscribe to The Atlantic. The only problem that I have with that is that their website is so good that by the time the print version arrives in my mailbox, I have usually read many of the articles I find interesting.

The website publishes so any articles I think it would take a very fast reader to keeo up. And I am not that fast. But I usually find a few articles in the print version that escaped my attention earlier.

I think Joe Biden is the best choice. There are quite a few reasons but for now I’ll focus on the most immediate problem. About 230,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 in recent months. Biden is better for your health.

I used to subscribe to The Economist and I am thinking of re-subscribing. I still get their email newsletters. It is a great magazine. I found it sensible and centrist with a bit of humor.

They cover the world and are based in the UK so naturally their perspective on US events is a bit different from the American media. There was so much to read and all of it was well-written that I constantly found myself running a few issues behind. So I was very interested in their take on the upcoming presidential election.

Country before party

Country before party

There is just too much partisanship. All of us who are citizens of the United States and eligible to vote should consider the good of the country rather than loyalty to any political party. This would also apply to our elected representative in both houses of Congress.

This is why it was pleasant to hear Carly Fiona, a Republican candidate for President a few years ago, say she would vote for Joe Biden because she cannot support the re-election of President Trump.

China, Biden, and Trump

China, Biden, and Trump

Posted on by Jack

I keep seeing these ads for the re-election of Donald Trump that slam Vice-President Biden for things he said and did about China mostly years ago. There is actually a quote as recent as 2019 but most are many years before then. It is classic Trump to blame his failures on the Obama administration.

Biden rule was made by Republicans

Biden rule was made by Republicans

There is no Biden Rule. Republicans just made it a rule to justify a political trick.

This is pretty ancient history. We are going back at least 2 years since this “rule” was invoked, and then all the way to 1992 to see its roots. So why am I thinking about this today?
