   OK here’s something for you to ponder. I would consider voting for Dahle for Governor because I am not exactly a fan of Newsome. However that would depend on him doing a few things. First, show a distance from Trump and state that the election was not stolen. Second, support reasonable legislation supporting a woman’s right to choose and third continuing and strengthening California’s policies on Gun Control.
   So George those are three issues off the top of my head that he would have to peruse if he has any hope of pealing off enough Dems to vote for him to win the election.
   I met him a few times and I personally liked him.

   PaulE 1131a – Forget about Trump, Biden is president until the Dems put him into the Shady Sunset Acres rest home. “Women’s right to choose” is a bullshit liberal term that only presses leftwing hot buttons. If you mean that a woman having reached majority can legally get an abortion through our healthcare system, then almost all Republicans are for it as long as it’s done sufficiently early, decided by the state, and the govt doesn’t automatically pay for it. But “strengthening California’s policies on Gun Control” is a non-starter. CA already has the absolute strongest gun controls which it haphazardly enforces, and is the country’s leader to completely abrogate 2A, making private possession of firearms illegal. Those who promote ratcheting gun controls are a dead giveaway of our nation’s ignoramouses who believe that a rogue govt, which already has opened its borders and fosters criminality across the nation, “can’t happen in America.”

   Hmmmmm….
   Didn’t Paul claim setting up govt run health care was important? What happened to that?
   And how is Dahle supposed to know exactly what the details of Paul’s typical vague fantasies are concerning these laws and regs?
   As long as Dahle starts acting like a Dem, Paul will vote for him.

   You write “forget about Trump” I’m sure you are aware that In poll after poll, about 70% of Republicans say they don’t think Joe Biden is the legitimate winner of the 2020 election. I could not support Dahle if he was one of those. I assume you are not part of that 70%

    So Scott you are saying then that a woman does not have the right to choose to have an abortion. That implies that the government can choose to deny her that right as they have in Oklahoma for example.
    From the Gov of Oklanoma
    “I promised Oklahomans that as governor I would sign every piece of pro-life legislation that came across my desk and I am proud to keep that promise today,” the first-term Republican said in a statement. “From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby’s life and the life of the mother. That is what I believe and that is what the majority of Oklahomans believe.”
    It seems you have no problem with this.

Please comment on socialist Sri Lanka’s admission that its economy has collapsed. Other collapsed economies are not admitted by their socialist central controllers like in Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Belarus, … all of which pretend to be above water through massive government subsidies and control of uncompetitive major industries. And then there’re countries like the UK whose nationalized healthcare is again on the rocks forcing the government to again raise taxes by 2.5% to keep funding a sinking bureaucracy providing ever-contracting services.

    I will play with Paul, albeit is my uninvited and unsolicited opinion.
    Paul, you have misread the leaked draf and the abortion issue. It’s all about State’ Rights…or rather prohibitions of the Federal Government. If the Constitution is silent on an issue then, per our Constitution setting up our Representative Republic, the issue belongs in the individual states to decide by local (state) representatives. It should have never been in the realm of the Federal Control.
    Like you, we have been told about the right to abortion since around 73. So much so, we took it as a given. Roe may be overturned because 1) it was based on a faulty court decision and the issue is a States issue, not the Feds. Roe vs Wade has always been on shaky ground….and for good reason. It if was a right, it could not ever be taken away. The right to privacy between two gay men doing oral sex behind closed doors magically extended ‘privacy in one’s home (a reasonable expectation) to a right to abortion.
    Here is the leaked draft. Alito’s reasoning is brillant, even if you do not agree. He addresses so many of the concerns and questions you and any reader may have. No, I did not read all of it (skimmed some parts), but his Constitutional arguments are tight.
    https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21835435/scotus-initial-draft.pdf
    Yes, Oklahoma will try to ban abortions. North Dakota’s fine Governor said she feels such a relief that the last remaining abortion clinic has been wiped from land of her state. Whether you like it or not, states with varying restrictions on abortions, from rape and incest only to first trimester to no restrictions (like CA) to day of birth/post birth like VA….all of these different abortion policies pretty much reflect the will of the people in the in those diverse states. Another example of the brilliance of our founding fathers mapping out of Federalist system. If OK bans abortion, head over the state line.
    The State government is the Government that can tell a woman she can or cannot kill the unborn child in her womb. And ifI want to place a bet on the horses or a game, I have to drive to Nevada to do so. State tells me no.
    Read up on Alito’s actual First Draft and get the actual words in your head..not some legal analyst who has no power at this point besides his/her opinion. Don’t trust Jeffery Tubing Toobin.

    On the bright side, the pro-abortion folks have much to cheer about. They got their wish! No longer will old white men in robes tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body! If Roe is overturned, it will be your State Legislators signed by your Governor than will tell a woman the rules for getting an abortion. Put those robes in the dust bin of history. 🙂
