[Video] Justin Amash town hall 5/28/19

[Danke]

OK, I continued. He believes Russians were involved in our elections...

So what? We can't think and vote independently? No mention of Israeli involvement in our elections...

 

[Danke]

Then he taps dances...

 

[Danke]

1:35!

He believes in Global Warming climate change. lol

I like what Amash is doing and I'm glad Massie and Rand are staying toward the right. I think testing a left-appealing libertarian position is a good strategy, and Amash is definitely grabbing media attention which is good. If he runs for president, I want him to run in the republican primary, not go libertarian party.

 

[PAF]

No it isn't, the left that is applauding him today will reject him as soon as he is no longer useful to them and he is making conservatives who might have listened to our message in the long run hate and suspect libertarians.

Justin is "Changing the Tone", contrary to the duopoly in power, and critical to this movement. He is young, in touch, and reaching the young generation. I applaud Justin and fully support him.

Rand can do his thing in the senate. I remember when Rand was heavily railed on this forum, he seemed to have overcome his detractors.

Justin has a 94% Freedom Index, among the highest in the Congress and on both sides of the isle. Instead of slitting his throat in every post that you make, he needs more of us to get behind him.

But you are a STATIST NEOCON SHILL so that goes over your head. I do, however, appreciate many of the threads that you start.

Wow. Welcome to 2008. I remember Conservatives in a complete meltdown when Ron Paul suggested we "invited 9/11 attacks".

 

[PAF]

He also defends letting non-citizens vote at the local level.

Hadn't Gotten that far before I turn that $#@! off.

That is the FULL-BLOWN STATIST position.

I support all people voting at the local level if that is what they wish to do. If you choose to homestead an open area, or open a business, and others in your locale also, it is up to that close-knit community to make decisions amongst themselves without state or federal interference.

Voting at the local level does not require registering with or funding "The Fed". It brings it back to the local level where it should be, and according to the 10th Amendment.

I understand why the Bill of Rights is being shredded though... it is not "invaders"... it is people like you who believe and support Restrictionism, Constitution Free Zones and government Eminent Domain - which are all communist/globalist agendas.

Those are very good points.

 

[Todd]

The problem I have with Amash's position is that EVERY President has been as guilty and more so of high crimes and misdemeanors and most often War Crimes. Why die on this hill when the Russia Gate hoax was clearly a charade to get Trump to make a slip up.

 

[PAF]

Justin: "Under the current administration spending is sky-rocketing."

The lady around the :37 minute mark who can "think for herself"... understands NOTHING about obstruction.

She said: "trump is all for limited government."

Justin said: "President trump is not at all for limited government. That's just not true at all."

The lady said: "I can't debate you on that because I haven't researched that. However he wants to get rid of the Department of Education."

Justin said: "He's free to do so. He's the president. He's the president, he could make a move to do so."

The lady said: "Ok, we'll just move on, this isn't going anywhere."

 

[Superfluous Man]

It sounds like he doesn't care what rights are violated as long as it is done at a local level.

Attending public school is not a right.

Where is Amash doing anything leftist? I don't see it.

 

[Superfluous Man]

There is no underlining crime committed...but he is guilty of obstructing justice?!?!?!

Amash is a joke.

Have you read the Mueller report?

 

[EBounding]

This townhall was a grand slam for Amash. The "#Resistance" characters in the audience didn't even realize what they were hearing. Amash's primary challenger was there too but didn't want to ask him a question. Justin is not going to need the DeVos money.

Imagine a debate between Amash and that yahoo.

The first MAGA lady didn't do too well, the next two asked some valid questions and he gave total crap answers.

Amash said Barr got a letter from Mueller that Barr had misled the American public. In fact, Barr called Mueller the night he got the letter, and in front of a bunch of people Mueller specifically said that it wasn't Barr misleading the American people, it was the MEDIA that was misleading people about what Barr had released and so he wanted Barr to release more sooner. Barr complied and eventually released everything he could.

That was a really partisan, dishonest answer and it is just wrong. But maybe that is the best answer to give his district. It's a really good thing the rest of the country isn't like his district, though, I have to say. We would be a far less libertarian country, we are lucky to have Amash serving in that leftist district instead of somebody much much worse.

 

[EBounding]

Imagine a debate between Amash and that yahoo.

It’s been awhile since I listened to one of his town halls but he seemed much sharper and able to field every single question.

The conservatives who will not listen to his message just proves they're no more better than the left when it comes to their idolatry.

 

[angelatc]

Seems like he's to the right of the GOP

 

[TheTexan]

The more I watch his town halls the more I realize I think that he knows what he is doing. Thomas Massie and Rand Paul are perfect for Kentucky. Amash is great for Michigan. The reverse probably wouldn't hold.

If he holds his seat, or gets a Senate seat that would be awesome. I don't think now is the time for a Presidential run, though.

Do you think maybe Amash is Q??? It would explain a lot.
