He needs to be held accountable for the damage he's done to the lives of his constituents and to our nation.

Greg Abbott is a public figure.

Greg Abbott is a public figure.

Yes, what's your point?

 

[Chesterton]

Yes, what's your point?

You're flaming and/or goading him.

 

[ArmenianJohn]

You're flaming and/or goading him.

I'll check on that

I think we all ought to be following the example set by Mr. Hitchens.

Not a violation. Slander and defaming are against TOS.

I voted for Wendy Davis, perhaps the last Dem I voted for.

It was not proven that "Stand with Wendy Davis" was a slur against wheelchair Greg...

Public figures cannot be immune from all criticism, but some guidelines have to exist, I guess.

But if all the Trump-bashing posts were deleted, the board would be near empty.

Gov. Abbot is no worse than others

There were threads before Trump became a Republican. There will be others when finally leaves office.
Admittedly Trump is so easy pickings... like trout in a barrel.

Funny you should say that. I’ll get Edith to fetch a cold one.

Wrong. I know from personal experience. You can read the 1st page of this thread for clarification:

Admin Announcement - *** Announcement Concerning American Politics ***

A beer guzzling Baptist. If that don't beat all.

I stand corrected. But, what in the post is flaming? If you feel strongly, report it. But it seems like a ticky-tack foul to me. But Abbott is a subpar performer as Governor, IMHO.

You look familiar. We’re you at Camp Cupcake a few months ago?

You know, a good Southern Baptist only drinks around non-Baptists.

cow451 does not “guzzle”.

Calling someone a hypocrite would be flaming, depending on...the day of the week, maybe? But no, I don't feel strongly about it.

But Abbott is a low performer IMHO.

Abbot is disabled. Now you're just being racist.

Camp Cupcake. Well, there is a reason I pointed it out, but the rules here are such that I probably ought not say the reason.

Hi chesterton,

Perhaps we need a clear definition of flaming and goading. Truth is that a lot of states are rolling back their grand reopening plans as this virus is showing its strength. I've never known telling the truth about something without using inflammatory language as 'flaming' or 'goading'.

Check on that will you.

I also didn't see the word 'hypocrite' in his post. Could you copy and paste that for me.

God bless,
In Christ, ted

Unintended. I will change it to “subpar”, referencing his job performance. In management there’s a saying: “Once a low performer, always a low performer.”

He needs to be held accountable for the damage he's done to the lives of his constituents and to our nation.

By the same token, the damage done by those Democratic governors who went overboard with their inconsistent and very partisan lockdowns was severe and didn't fix the problem either.

Should they also be held accountable for their actions and the damage they did to "the lives of (their) constituents and to our nation?"
