Education, you say? When segregated schools were equal but separate?
You seriously want that back.
How exactly do people behave differently than they did in the 50’s that you find objectionable?
What remedies are you proposing to reverse that trend?
Bricker is absolutely correct in this post.
No need for a soliloquy from me to expand on it. I can’t even add to this without taking away from the clarity of it.
I’m bumping this thread to mention Saint Cad’s thread “A rational (fact-based) discussion on Trump v Clinton”
Only a hateful ignoramus could find cause to compare Benghazi and Trump University. Cad’s entire thread is so stupidly misconceived that any “rational” discussion of it would need to be in this forum to comply with Board rules.
I would be OK with that. I bet you would be too because it would get us back the house and the senate.
They’re paid that money by monied interests that have no real interest in the content of their speeches so much as the access it buys them. Do we know the content of those speeches yet?
Who says that she is inexperienced? They might have said that during her first run for the white house (when she seemed to be relying on her experience as the wife of the president as experience) but who calls her inexperienced now? If anything her abundance of experience seems to be used against her in painting her as a Washington insider.
How about her cozy ties with monied interests? How about the way the DNC tilted the playing field in her direction? How about the Clinton Foundation and the money it received from TransCanada, I don’t think it bought them the State Department approval but I think it might have bought them access that those smelly treehuggers didn’t have (BTW, I support the Keystone XL pipeline).
Charisma is often considered a desirable quality in a leader. The ability to influence people and get them to follow your lead is frequently seem as a necessary quality in a leader.
Hillary is lucky she is running against Trump. She would have lost against McCain (who would not have been cornered into picking Palin for VP against her).
Compared to who?
You know who she is running against, right?
AMERICA NEEDS THE BEST PRESIDENT IT CAN MUSTER WITH OR WITHOUT A PENIS, and Hillary is the most qualified.
Their marriage has lasted 40 years through Monica Lewinsky, Jennifer Flowers, etc. about 60% of marriage from their generation have lasted 40 years or to death did they part.
I submit that a LOT of people have daughters that have turned out just fine.
Hillary wasn’t Bill’s Co-President, ever. After the failed attempt at health care reform and the Republican takeover of the house in 1994 she was not much more influential than most first ladies. She was certainly exercising cabinet member levels of authority until then. But then Hillarycare failed and they lost the house (in part because of the assault weapons ban).
That plus most really smart successful lawyers in the private sector don’t make as much in their lifetime as the Clintons.
There were a lot of bad people out there (some of them like Kim Jong Il actually had nuclear weapons programs), but voting to give Bush a gun so he wouldn’t have to shoot anyone is a pretty bad failure in judgment.
You know the Trump campaign says exactly that to any Republican that want to stay home. So, would you like to hazard a guess whether Airman tends to vote Republican or Democrat?
A non-vote by a Republican-leaning voter is something I thought you might want to encourage. I have no idea which way Airman actually votes but there are people on BOTH sides that are staying home this election
Feel free to speak your mind, Damuri. Don’t be shy-we all want to hear your glittering words of wisdom.
You’re on my ignore list, by the way.
Aside from the fact that he panders to the worst of us, he is perhaps the most liberal Republican candidate we have seen in a lifetime (or more).
Not really. I used to think that, too, but he has no problem repudiating his previously stated liberal views. He’s goes against Republican conservatism, but the direction he is going isn’t really liberal.
All of those “good” things only existed because of the minorities being silenced. There was a monoculture. The civility was lost in the civil rights era. You can’t be civil while fighting for your rights.
Plus you are a Trump supporter. You support someone who does the exact opposite of the things you say people should do. His government is different, and his attitude is to be the biggest jerk. And you cheer when he is completely uncivil.
The second you started supporting Trump, we learned your shit about the civility of the 1950s was a lie. Maybe it’s a lie you tell yourself, but it’s still a lie.
So, voting to give Trump access to The Bomb so he wouldn’t have to detonate a nuclear weapon over anyone must be a pretty bad failure in judgment too, amIright?
Hey, I’m just pointing out a potential shitty voting gaffe. Who knows if 15 years from now “voting for Trump” might still be thrown up in Your face…? 
…because whats good for the goose is good for your [del]slander[/del] pander…
Excellent point. Now compare it to your view of the Second Amendment. :rolleyes:
I’ve known him for over a decade, and he has always seemed a moderately conservative Republican. I hope he’s learning that his kind is no longer welcome in the Republican Party, just like us Rockefeller Republicans saw where we stood in 1980.
How come the people with this overwhelming ‘aversion to liars’ never address the The Donald’s claims and history? I mean, her staunchest supporter wouldn’t say Hillary is perfect. If lying is a big deal to folks, I understand, but then compare her to the only alternative as a future president.
It’s all about supporting a supercilious, underinformed attitude that “they all do it”. It lets the holder feel superior without the hard, unrewarding work of doing any actual research or thought.
IOW, All politicians are crooked, Hillary is a politician, you know the rest.
