  1. https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/04/04/the-conservative-go-for-broke-legal-strategy-suffers-a-blow/?hpid=hp_no-name_opinion-card-a%3Ahomepage%2Fstory Hopefully the trend of voter suppression is fading...
  2. Easy Bro...I have been consistent...not backing anyone...I do think single payer HC is the way to go and is inevitable - and would be better than what we have now - on so many levels...so I do appreciate that Bernie is a proponent. I understand I make most of the GOP/TP /Libertarians uncomfortable by pointing out the hypocrisy of those platforms and viewpoints - doesn't make me a liberal. I know hard for you to understand that concept of examining the faults within...
  3. Not a D voter or supporter...if you recall my position has been for years that the GOP has lost it and the result is gong to be Hillary
  4. Wonder what number of male (probably conservative/probably christian) elected officials who have been arrested or caught for malfeasance in their offices/bathrooms is compared to people pretending to be trans to get into a bathroom to check out the plumbing of the other sex........
  5. Well - I don't pretend to have insight because I have seen and witnessed the homeless - but have countered that by bringing a prejudged narrative to the conversation.... My one insight is this: I am involved in the development of several low income and veterans housing projects. One thing I did not know is that many of the homeless - prefer to be homeless....they prefer it to being cooped up in a home with a dorm of bunk beds. A vet center I consult on is located on a VA campus surrounded by woods. Beds are available on the campus but many of the vets prefer to stay in the woods. They scavenge construction scraps and sleep and reside in the woods. They come into the campus to eat and clean up I guess. They would prefer to have something they can call their own - as minimal as it is - rather than be institutionalized in a big room with bunk beds and cafeteria food. I never thought that was one aspect to homelessness. Maybe what society isn't doing a good job of is providing a sense of identity and esteem to help.
  6. Well...you have them beat...after all you have both seen AND witnessed homeless people....
  7. Apparently there is a sex tape...can't wait!
  8. I know pointing out facts without the accompanying spin to fit a narrative can be confusing on this board..the poster was doubting the validity of NE's ability to put a real story out....they did with Gary Hart....if the NE story pans out...then we can say Cruz brought Cruz down..... Cruz...BTW has admitted to "sinning" in the past....
  9. NE brought down Gary Hart Noone believed them them at the start of that either...
  10. Countered by the hypocrisy of the GOP
  11. ​Americans Killed by Terror by President Reagan : 832 Clinton: 314 Bush: 3846 Obama: 17
  12. The article is an inch deep and hardly considers history - Islam is hardly alone in an all out quest to kill infidels in the name of religion and as a way of life... Until 9/11/2001 the protestants and the Catholics in Ireland and GB killed each other off in their own version of a jihad..the still have walls separating themselves in Northern Ireland The Sunni and Shia live every day to see there brothers dead The Crusades.... It is simply Islams turn at bat - they are hardly the first and hardly unique Doesn't mean they don't have to be stopped...
  13. I think there’s a change in weather. I am not a great believer in man-made climate change. I’m not a great believer. There is certainly a change in weather that goes — if you look, they had global cooling in the 1920s and now they have global warming, although now they don’t know if they have global warming. They call it all sorts of different things; now they’re using “extreme weather” I guess more than any other phrase. I am not — I know it hurts me with this room, and I know it’s probably a killer with this room — but I am not a believer. Perhaps there’s a minor effect, but I’m not a big believer in man-made climate change. That is our GOP candidate...
  14. After "winning" the war GWB negotiated the pull out of US troops with the iragi's - who wanted us out. BO followed this agreement. Pretty sure the primary destabilization of the ME began with shock and awe...."Mission Accomplished"......
  15. I voted GOP across the line for many years...slowed in 2004 and slowed much more in 2009... Number of Dem's I have voted for probably lower than 5... I am just against hypocrisy bro....got to end somewhere - I wish it was the GOP who stepped up....
  16. Or....he has done a reasonably good job according to citizens
  17. The rise of Trump is a reflection of the utter and complete failure of the GOP and the Conservative movement and media to produce anything but failure over the last 20 years. The 8 years of the Bush Presidency gave us NeoCon fed wars in the ME, unfunded tax cuts, unpaid wars, unfulfilled promises regarding balancing the budget and ultimately oversight over the greatest economic crisis since the great depression. No movement on HC, immigration, education, not to mention global warming - yet a constant effort to suppress voting and limit rights. The last 8 years consist of absolutely no wins. no progress, no successes for the GOP - absolutely nothing. The biggest "win" may be Citizens United - keep your own scorecard on that one. In fact the GOP has gotten waxed on SSM, no child left behind is scrapped, the world has accepted and started to deal with GW. What counts now as a win is keeping a GOP affirmed judge off the SC. The GOP and its media arms (Fox, Rush, etc) have lost all credibility as they have produced nothing and have nothing to offer. Nothing. The GOP and Conservatives have made nobodies lives better and the blue collar crowd behind Trump know this. They could give a crap about the establishment, Fox News and don't want a democrat to be elected - they want their situations to be better and the GOP has absolutely nothing they can show them to gain their favor.
  18. For a bunch of "smart guys" here - why none of you do any research fails me - but when you already have it all figgered out.... - Detroit overcharges for supply of water - Flint goes to Flint river to save money - Experts say you have to treat water - GOP City manager and GOP Governor ignore experts - decide your own motivations - Lead poising to kids - Congress modified the safe drinking water act https://www.epa.gov/sdwato give the states more power and oversight to meet the guidelines set by the EPA - Under this legislation (GOP pushed) - the EPA cannot "jump" in to rescue places like Flint - they have to defer to the states to get it done - MI GOP feeds EPA crap information - EPA can't intervene and fix problem I ask you - where is the problem?
  19. "I don't know......". but I will be sure to throw my ignorant prejudged opinion at it!
  20. So the GOP lets a Dem Senator from decades ago make the rules?
  21. "Trump" curently has about 20 employees
  22. So Trump tells the truth? Guy lies every time he speaks....and i don't like Hillary at all...
  23. CONGRATULATIONS!! You managed to crack out a canned answer....next the the BN is going to hire you for a "PowerTake" column!!! Do a little homework.
