Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 10 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: So the real question for Vivek is: why on earth would we vote for you instead of Trump? I heard nothing to separate him from Trump other than "I'm younger." As the surprising rising star of the Republican Party, he's about to get a lot of light shined on his past. His history as an investor is fair game. And yes, he did support Martin Shkreli, the pharma bro. Take a close look at what that guy did, exploiting loopholes in the regulatory system and jacking up drug prices for ordinary people. Some illegal things, some legal but not exactly honorable things. Honor is not an important attribute to most MAGAs 1 1

Now you’re REALLY getting out there this morning I doubt there’s even a handful of Republican voters that believe he’s a Christian. Come on! 1

So why is he saying this "God" stuff more than anyone other than Mike Pence (say what you will about him, he is obviously a true believer). It's ok to be in a political debate without bringing up God ... you brought it up Vivek. Maybe it's fair to ask "what do you mean?" "What is your religious faith/tradition?" "How does it fit within the Judeo-Christian background of our founders?" 1

"How does it fit within the Judeo-Christian background of our founders?" I’m sorry but your bias is showing here this morning. I didn’t hear it that way AT ALL. Obviously Pence used the language way way too much, but I think second place would go to Tim Scott there. I simply didn’t get that impression from Ramaswamy. Maybe I missed it. PS: It was still a train wreck! 😉 1
Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) Thanks Frank. I wasn't aware of this. He's a real sweetheart....Shkreli's quotes here are golden. Sure Vivek, is out to help the little guy by helping to illegally raise drug prices to ridiculous levels https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/23/vivek-ramaswamy-martin-shkreli-pharma-00098338 “What was Martin Shkreli really guilty of?” Ramaswamy wrote. “Why did the DOJ go after him so hard, when it lets others quietly get away with much worse? … [W]hom did Shkreli hurt? The people he was convicted for defrauding all ended up richer. The people who used Daraprim didn’t pay more for it; the cost was split up across the whole health insurance system.” Edited August 24, 2023 by Joe Ferguson forever 1

Even those Judeo-Christian group you mention, has a crap load of sub sects. And interesting the only ones that seem to care, are the lefties on here. Now its onto the next hit piece topic.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 I loved his civics test requirement to vote tho. Maybe knowing what a brahmin is should also be a requirement... 25 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: The last part is true.

Tommy Callahan Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 it's worth mentioning again. the farm is attacking the person that polled the highest, for his personal religion. 1
The Frankish Reich Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 I just assume Vivek is running for VP. He provides no reason for voting for him instead of Trump other than "I'm young" And of course he won't say anything remotely contrary to Trump Just now, Chris farley said: it's worth mentioning again. the farm is attacking the person that polled the highest, for his personal religion.

SoCal Deek Posted August 24, 2023 Posted August 24, 2023 I actually think the civics test idea would be really good for the country. The challenge would be coming up with the appropriate questions. Now THAT would make a great thread on here! A welcome respite from today’s religious hate speech. 1
