Dirty politics are in play here in PA. With the primary election coming up next week, Richard Grenell and Greg Kelly have been trying to tear down MAGA candidate Kathy Barnette because she has a good chance of defeating Trump’s pick, Dr. Oz. They have been tweeting and texting videos of Barnette, cutting out full sentences and eliminating context to make it look like she is saying the total opposite of what she actually said. People in PA are receiving multiple anonymous texts with these videos and lies about Barnette.
What are they afraid of?
Question of the day: With primaries and midterms coming up, if you are planning to vote, what is the single most important qualification/top platform issue you are looking for in the candidates you vote for this year?

I’m from Pennsylvania, presently living in Ecuador and don’t plan to vote. I know what happens when the vote is cast in the US. Certainly have a good idea what will happen with an absentee vote.
Voting = Suggestion box for slaves.
It’s not who you vote for, it’s who counts the votes…
A dead candidate would do the least harm.
If None of the Above was a choice, that would be mine. I suspect that NOTA would win in most races this year.
Congressman Jim Hagedorn voted for the $40B to Ukraine two days ago and he died in February. So even dead candidates can’t be trusted.
Jim really, really loves Freedom.
And we kept getting told by conservative radio hosts that Grinell was such a great guy, from MAGA country no less…
Today’s ‘above the fold’ headline on Drudge.

Trump pick for Nebraska governor loses GOP primary
Hard to believe anyone still reads Drudge. Just sayin’.
Supports stopping illegal immigration, period.
There is a certain beauty in using concise language, Lamont. Your post is way too wordy, and wanders all over the place. Let me clean it up for you. “Supports stopping immigration, period.” See how easy that was?
Agreed, but I don’t mind a few hot retiree chicks from France that voted for LePen moving here.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agree, but this is a VERY LOW bar given that it amounts to “believes a government should enforce it’s own laws.”
Vote HARDER!
Globalist or Nationalist?
Don’t think I’ll bother participating in the farce anymore…
But if I did, I would be a single issue voater.
Gun Rights.
NRA is a farce with Wayne in charge.
But their list was always useful…
Ya mean the National Registration Agency?
You have to admit it… Wayne really does dress nicely.
Honesty.
I probably will not vote at all as none of the sociopaths in the uniparty meet that criteria.
That eye patch lunatic from Texas is honest, but he’s honestly a neocon warmongering piece of shit.
I would still vote for Ron Paul.
Do they despise the democrats and rinos as much as I do…
I want a candidate who:
1) Isn’t a dumbass.
2) Isn’t a psychopath.
I guess I will not be voting this year.
Low bar election limbo winner!
I like how you think.
Local, District (State & U.S. House), and Senate: Honest, commonsensical, non-woke, unafraid of virus variants, U.S. Constitution supporting and opposing the NWO. And, all the while, following the money and looking for election fraud.
Many local school boards have now been mostly wiped clean of Covidists and the trend must continue.
Fingers crossed.
In my haste this afternoon, I see my brain turned this question…
into this question…
Hence my comment above.
But the single most important qualification would be… honestly and courageously anti-NWO
I’ll see it when I believe it.
If I was voting…..most important qualification would be their willingness to choke on a cyanide pill upon their first broken promise.
I think I will only vote for dead politicians, since the dead are now voting. Maybe someone like Eisenhower or Kennedy who seemed to understand the perils of the deep state…
Zappa for president!
I vote we don’t vote anymore.
It’s one thing to create a couple million votes out of thin air, quite another to explain where 100 million disappeared.
I have always said that a turnout of 5-10% of the population would send a far bigger message than anything.
“Don’t vote….it only encourages them…”
Yeah the very low turnout for the recent french election certainly said something.
If we really cared about ‘the will of the people’ and all those other blandishments about our ‘sacred democracy’ you’d get to vote for a ‘none of these candidates’ option which would trigger a new election where all the previous candidates were barred. Colombia and several other countries do this.
But I’m with you that the only way to win is to not play the game.
Party plank of the Libertarian party as well.
They need to pledge to send McCarthy and McConnell packing.
The one with no prior political experience, has worked a real job, maybe owns a business, has a family and speaks a message with qualities I can agree with , not filthy rich. Most importantly, has no collage education what so ever, dirt under his finger nails would be a big selling feature for me. Can shoot a buzzard off a shit wagon at 600 yards with a lever action 30-30 with no scope, that will help garner my vote..
That’s why I am reluctant to waist my time voting. There is almost never a candidate like the one referenced above
600 yds. w/30-30? better be shooting at a flock of 600 turkeys with FMJ and pray the ground is hard. Might get lucky and get one in the head, rest probably gut-shot
Hence why I set the bar so high for elected officials and included the lever action 30-30 with no scope at 600 yards as a pre-req. You would have to be one lucky bastard.
You want my vote you better be a fucking saint after the 2020 elections, the main reason I swore off voting. I have been voting every election cycle for the last 40 years, I never really trusted it. When they crammed their lying , cheating, bullshit up my ass in 2020 that was the final straw for me
Voting doesn’t matter. Even if it did we are only presented with puppets. No matter the vote we are guaranteed another puppet.
Favorable scores on the TriPM or ICU psychopathy screening tests, no clinically diagnosed psych disorders after an in-depth psych evaluation, raised by an intact traditional family, white, Christian, male, heterosexual, married with children. Preferably has experience operating a family owned business, farm, fishing vessel, trucking company, excavating firm etc.
OK, I can count, and I know that is more than one single thing.
Since psych evaluations are never done and such people are pretty much excluded from politics, I probably will not be voting.
I’m looking for a backbone, some common sense solutions to the ills that plague us, and a willingness to persevere.
BL does not play the voting game.
For those who want to continue this exercise in futility….knock yourself out. Decade after decade we get lying SOS who simply work for the criminal cartel and abuse the citizens. Seems stupid to WASTE TIME going to participate in a fraud.
It’s time my friends to push yourself back from the table and say, “No more Jello for me Mom”. That sweet illusion for food is like voting. Jello offers no nutrition and voting offers nothing for me.
Balls only. No vags.
Write in George Washington.
I already voted in the primaries and I’m probably not going to be voting anymore. It’s obviously rigged and I’ve been called for jury duty twice since registering.
Funny how that works. “They” do get your name off tax rolls In Texas however. I get a notice every six months like clockwork.
Must have four legs
I got that!
“WHAT IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT QUALIFICATION YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN THE CANDIDATES YOU VOTE FOR THIS YEAR?”
Suicidal. On the latest antidepressants.
The ideal candidate would;
—1) have a retard level IQ (what harm could they do?)
—2) would have a brain disease, like dementia (what harm could they do?)
Oh, shit. Wait ….
Never underestimate morons. The stupid are ever so ingenious at fucking things up.
Dr. Oz, the one that plays a physician in scrubs on TV? Is this like “The Apprentice – 2022 Medicine edition”?
You can’t make this shit up.
Just goes to show when living in a cave one does not get out much. No clue who Oz is. When mentioned here I thought surely some joke about the Wizard of.
I honestly cannot think of any response that would not require a “/s” tag.
I am completely on board with the parallel economy, Phoenix. Been bartering for years. Have surrounded myself with other like-minded individuals with diverse skills and talents. Bout all we need is a dentist, now.
Continuing to play the charade that one can ‘give’ their inherent rights to anyone else, and/or to put any effort toward a system which plies that lie, is a waste of time. Time to get on with creating a new, decentralized civilization.
Facial hair.
I will only vote for a man with a sensible moustache that fits under a gas-mask. Or a giant beard but only if that person also wears the skins of his enemies; too many hipster faggots these days.
nice
We won’t be voting. First time for me since 1976. But, the most important qualification would be an earnest, dogmatic adherence to the Constitution. That would be quite predictive of their future votes.
Funny, I never hear a liberal or a Democrat say they’re not going to vote.
Daddy doesn’t vote anymore, guess he’s finished talking to the TPTB, he used to hold his nose and pull the leaver to the floor. Daddy doesn’t vote anymore…
One trait: like Andrew Jackson would do it. A real Conservative like Margi Taylor Greene who when elected doesn’t just turn the money tables over, breaks them off in the Oligarch’s asses and prosecutes them like a democrat would; and shreds the Federal Reserve Bank Charter to a million pieces. Who goes after the Vote Fraud criminals like Elliott Ness would. Who goes after the whole NWO Covid Genocide Mob with a Nuremberg scale trial, and hangs the worst murderers like Fauci, Gates, Soros, etc. Prosecutes the Biden’s Treasons with China and Ukraine; the Russia Gate Mob; the Pizza Gate Pedophiles et all; cleans house at the FBI, DOJ, State Dept, NIH, CIA, DHS, DoD, etc; investigates the food and fuel industry fires. Holds hearings on Censorship and demand Congress pass laws to protect the Free Speech of Intelligent comment. Everyone cannot speak at the same time; there have to be rules like Hoyles etc. Every stupid comment does not deserve to be printed but a balanced board could decide. Fix the Budget; that means fix the Welfare and Warfare waste and know where the dollars go. When there is a question, the Constitution is the guide; if a question remains, ask the Court; if the Court gets it wrong, get Congress to fix it. Don’t hesitate to fire incompetent or disloyal employees and hire the best.
500 yards or less,simple as.
To clarify,I am only interested in local candidates,feel state/federal do not listen to the people and thus would not vote for them.I just wanted to clarify my answer and not be misinterpreted.
If you still think your vote would mean anything, then you are in desperate need of a functional brain.
JFK brain !, (Prior to the throat shot from behind and the 2nd frontal shot from 15 deg left and 20deg down.
and of course a “Lady of the House” stronger than you think, Forgiving ,with perfect morals and manners.
Camelot existed, now we have only Hell on Earth
I’ll vote for the first candidate who promises to end any and all federal involvement in both education and law enforcement (aside from border and customs services).
In other words, it is very unlikely that I will ever again vote in any federal election; voting at the state and local level is a defensible act, and occasionally perhaps even useful.
My only mission now is to vote against incumbents in the hopes that the new person elected can get some the grift as well.
Now I just need to guess the password to the dominion machines in my district.
Oh that’s right. The password is “votingnevermattered69”
Be smart. Vote with a gun.
ZFG, out.
Voting is equivalent to turning Maggie’s steering wheel. Watch The Simpson’s intro if you don’t recognize the reference. It gives you the false impression of participation, the feeling of making a difference and having fulfilled your civic duty, while diverting you from participating in things and taking actions that actually would make a difference.
