Mike Smigiel's thoughts on Hogan

[TexDefender]

No, it isn't. I'm not going to do the math for you, you'll have to do it yourself. Sorry. Subtract the number 2's votes from the winner's votes in the elections I posted above. 2,000 votes taken away from the winner will not make a bit of difference in this election just as it wouldn't in any of those elections.

That is one of the main problems with the Maryland republicans. Everyone believes the lie that their vote matters and that if they don't vote for the lesser of two evils the more evil one will win. No matter what party wins, Maryland elections are just not that close. Everyone is scared to vote anything but R, and that is why the R is always a sh!t sandwich with cheese (or Mao). You have the power to break that cycle, please do it!.

I'm willing to bet that Quinn's beliefs are more in line with the average MDS member than Hogan's beliefs are. Everyone badmouth's Quinn's vote totals instead of voting for him. Every active, regular member of MDS could vote for Quinn or write in the same thing without changing the Hogan/Jealous outcome. That might be enough to help get some better candidates in future elections. Or you can continue believing the lie that one or one thousand non-votes for the R will make the D win and continue biting that sh!t sandwich and continue getting upset each Sine Die when your rights have eroded a little bit more. You can keep repeating that April lie around MDS that "Yeah, we got hit with some bad laws and lost more rights, but hey, it could have been worse!".

So then how can you ensure we will not lose any gun rights then? I don't see it in your proposal.

And your willingness to challenge group-think around this place has great value and is much appreciated by some, including myself.

^^ this lots of effort

I'm talking about making a change for the future. Taking a stand and making the next election a little better. You're never going to make Maryland better by voting for the lesser of two evils every election. All you can do at best is slow down the decline, but you'll never stop it, let alone improve the state.

So your plan cannot ensure we will not lose any gun rights after this election. I think I will stick with voting for Hogan.

The last race was decided by @60k votes but the D's has 200k fewer votes. Hogan won because the D's didn't show up. Now he wants them to show up and vote for him and honestly he'll need them with all the 'No More Hogan' RINO's out there if this board is any indication.

Calling someone a RINO because they won't vote for the pro gun control RINO is akin to dividing by zero. Absurd.

I don't buy that. Hogan won because a majority of I's and a good chunk of the D's voted for him. If you look at the other elections in the state that day, like Frosh, the republicans got shellacked. Those races would have been closer if there was a high R and low D turnout.

It's too late to anything about this election. That time was 8 years ago.

I think he's talking about, " If you do what you've always done, then you'll get what you've always got."

There is no hope for this state to be free. Hogan is as conservative as youll ever get here. The fanbo..... i mean Hogan supporters have made that clear. And reelcting Hogan will only solidify his brand of little r republicanism in this state.

Vote with your feet and tax dollars.

 

[Applehd]

...Vote with your feet...

I will be more than happy to do this when you...
A) Put me on your payroll.
B) Put me on your health insurance.
C) Foot the bill for the move.
D) ...and do a host of other things for me that keep my feet firmly planted on Maryland soil.

Care to iron out these few minor details for me...?
If so, I'm all in...

Solidifying ANY brand of republicanism in MD is a win.

Dependent on others for the essentials... not surprised.

This thought process is exactly why the state is a lost cause.
Solidifying any brand of ideology or politics that disregards several essential liberties without hesitation is not nor will it ever be a win.

Buckley Rule.

So Hogan is a moderate Democrat.

I'll vote for JFK over Pol Pot.

Unlike a lot of the other never Hogan folks here, i get the logic of this. Where i lose my brothers on the other side is how voting JFK will eventually lead us to James Madison. Gun rights in this state dont get better with the Govs mansion. The only hope is the SCOTUS. Part of me thinks Jealous speeds up that process. I wish this Governors election were next year and we had a Justice Kavanaugh, and RBG retiring; that would make a decision to not vote Hogan and let the chips fall a lot easier.

Perfect

Go ahead and vote for the anti 2A, MDA-loving turd. Not I.

Oh my. Can the turd get any better?? What, EXACTLY, is the difference between Hogan and ANY other anti out there? Vote for the turd if you wish, but stop claiming to support gun rights. Wake up folks!

There are some drugs that work by blocking receptors in the brain, mimicking other molecules which produce undesirable effects. By gumming up the works with a fake molecule, you prevent or lessen the undesirable effect. I think Narcan works that way, as well as many antidepressants.

Or think of it like fixing your daughter up with a gay guy for the prom...

I think of Hogan as our cockblocker.

I gotta say, that's one of the more imaginative descriptions I've seen of him!!!
