Why do you keep babbling about "purity"? This is not about purity, it's about basic decency and that is sorely lacking in every single GOP member, including Massie. If you want to sing his praises go right ahead, but don't expect everyone else to sing harmony.

I already explained, you didn't address my points, just repeated your condemnations of his character, and therefore unwillingness to work with him, because he lacks the decency you crave, a decency sorely from everyone in congress.

Am I supposed to repeat my point for a third time to your use of emotion and slander to obscure the issue? We couldn't work with anyone by your standards, not most of the democrats if led to look at their failings either. I am suspicious at this point, as you haven't answered my point and just continued to manipulate people with your ad hominem arguments, that you aren't working for/with the right wing, with maga to attack anyone that defects from their party.

We were flooded by those accounts after MTG, and lo and behold, the same arguments surface. If called on it, not answering with a reasoned argument for why we should spurn the help of people we need and further make it more difficult to get future defectors, but rather personal insults and slander.

Where did you come up with this?

I never said anything at all about working with Massie, only commented on the content of his character and his clearly stated motives. You are making obviously false assumptions and then demanding I respond to your assumptions. That's not going to happen.

How very convenient all the members of the GOP that reject their party and defect get the special not pure enough treatment from those that are led to attack them. Great use of your time and energy, doing Israel's work for them. It totally doesn't speak to your understanding of the situation. /s

Lol - You have decided you know exactly what I mean while completely ignoring what I've actually written. When called out you actually double-down and again demand a response to your assumptions - as if they have anything to do with me. You're obviously not firing on all cylinders and not worth any further time or energy.
