Shooting in CO at Batman premiere
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 5, 2016 -> 02:24 PM) You are actually for the abuse and murder of prisoners. That is my point. After what this guy did I think it's funny he took six good punches yes. He coulda fought back. He's never getting out for good behavior

Shooting in CO at Batman premiere
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 11:40 PM) So no one on the outside could contact someone on the inside to do it for them... I'm saying the odds of inmates knowing Holmes is in their prison are 100 percent. And yes, the inmates all will want to kill him. As far as outsiders ... like I said they aren't going to be allowed in. What is your point? Obviously a.) ALL inmates will know Holmes is among them. And b.) yes a good majority will want to kill him. Are you actually against the victims' families getting to know where the perpetrator is being housed?? That's kind of insensitive IMO.

So, hypothetically, lets say their ends up being a brokered convention
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 05:22 PM) Do you think it will be one of the 4 remaining candidates, or will it be someone not currently in the race. If it isn't someone in the race, who do you think it will be? Romney, Jeb, Paul Ryan? Personally, I think if they end up brokered, Kasich is the only standing who I think would have a chance and even than, I'm thinking it will be as the VP (I actually think he would be very high up on Trump's list, to be frank). I will point out, Kasich was on O'Reilly after the debate and very firmly said he is not interested in being the VP (how true that is, who knows). My prediction is if it goes to a brokered convention, it will be Paul Ryan. Kasich was on a radio show today and was emphatic he will refuse to be anybody's vice president. I can't imagine him being that forceful if he planned on being a VEEP. The host said "I think you will" and Kasich said there is no chance of that.

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 05:47 PM) So today's scandal is that Hillary paid herself 250,000 in campaign funds. No other candidate did so. Does anyone care? I do. I was talking to some 20 somethings yesterday at an event in Lawrence and asked them what they thought of the election. Of course I asked about Hillary and you should see their response. I don't know if all young people hate other people's grandmothers or something but they immediately burst out saying how much they despise Hillary. She's going to have to accept the fact young people are not in her corner for whatever reason.

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) Why exactly would he get exposed? All he has is a track record of success (every where he's went)? Because he's boring and cerebral? Is that why he'd be exposed? Or are you referring to how aggressive he has been in the past to get things done (that ended up being pretty successful)? Dude knows policy well and is actually relatively moderate. Exactly. Chisoxfan speaks the truth ... again. Kasich should be the Republicans' choice. Give him a great vice president candidate, the most qualified young woman who could be the Republicans' next presidential candidate, and that party would be set to challenge Hillary.

Shooting in CO at Batman premiere
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 10:43 PM) So someone knows where he is at, beats the s*** out of him, but he is protected from being attacked if people know where he is at. That might the dumbest thing I have seen you post. An inmate beat the piss out of him. A gate was open for a second and the inmate got through. s*** happens. Somebody in the regular public isn't going to bust into the jail and pummel him. Cmon, you are not naive regarding inmates knowing who the famous inmates are. Every inmate is going to know it's Holmes in their prison. And like Gacy, of course he's targeted. Yes he's "protected" from some member of the public coming in and killing or beating him. That won't ever happen. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 10:48 PM) I still don't understand why anyone would care where he's at. Have you guys never known a victim? The family of the lowlife who murdered my friend always wants to know where the killer is being housed, what kind of accomdations he has, whether he's had any escape attempts, disciplinary actions, etc. All that is public record and available. The public has a right to know where murderers are being held. Some people have nightmares wondering if the murderer gets out he'll come after them. They need to know where he's being held.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 04:10 PM) So in the same thread you are telling us he is well protected, you posted a story about someone kicking his ass. No one needs to debate you, we'll just let you debate yourself. Somebody left a gate open for a second. Wherever he's housed the inmates will know. The public needs to know. Badger?

Shooting in CO at Batman premiere
Why would anybody oppose the public knowing where the bastard is being imprisoned? It is the right of the victims families to follow him during his life. To know where the hell he is being kept. It's not like we're going to go there and visit him and yell at him. He has to approve visitors and the government asks why in the hell you want to visit? It is a right of all of us and public record to know where he is being kept.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 06:03 AM) Why does it matter what prison as long as he is indeed in prison? Do you plan on visiting? Trying to get thrown in said jail to get your punches in? It's very important to the victims. I know this from experience.

QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) Greg, the State's job is to protect all prisoners who are incarcerated, whether they like them or not. The State of Colorado does not need to, and in fact shouldn't, give out any information regarding Holmes' whereabouts. Citizens have a right to know where criminals are serving their time. It's the public's right to know and the victims right to know. Most states have databases that are easily navigated.

2016 Democratic Thread
Bernie was in my neck of the woods today. If you listen to this man, you will realize he SHOULD be the Democratic candidate. Bernie Sanders is a great man and a helluva candidate! He's the polar opposite of Hillary. I happen to think Hillary is a liar and a fairly rotten person. My opinion. Bernie appears to be a truth teller and a good person.

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Mar 4, 2016 -> 05:14 AM) Ladies and gentlemen, your Republican candidates for presidency. If people don't see that Kasich is the only f***ing shot, then the GOP deserve every f***ing thing that's about to happen to them. It is simply amazing the Republicans can't get a reasonable person, a good candidate, and a guy with a helluva track record the fricking nomination - Mr. Kasich. You said it all. Great great post.

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 09:48 PM) Im just glad I dont have to listen to Ben Carson beg for people to attack him so he gets time to talk this time. Good observation! That was kinda humorous. I'm a little surprised the media wasn't kinder to Dr. Carson. As the only African-American candidate, in this day and age of PC, you'd think the media would have been a little more careful in regards to treatment of him. They kind of made him seem buffoon-ish. Strange behavior especially after eight years of kid gloves treatment of Obama. There aren't many Republicans in the national political media, I am assuming.

Good story about a prisoner in Colorado who got in six or more good punches in on the asshole who entered the theatre in Colorado and murdered innocent people in the most terrifying of ways. It is disgusting Colorado won't reveal where this bastard currently is incarcerated. THey MUST give this information out. It's probably sad I think this way, but I'm happy the prisoner beat the s*** out of Holmes. He said he wishes he could have killed Holmes but only beat the crap out of him. https://www.yahoo.com/gma/exclusive-inside-...topstories.html

Adam Eaton "Racial" Tweet Controversy
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 10:17 PM) http://www.vox.com/2016/3/1/11142390/chris...ian-joke-oscars What Chris Rock's lazy Asian joke revealed about "diversity" at the Oscars It was comedy so I'm not outraged, but when you think about it, in today's PC day and age, that was pretty ballsy of Rock to go there especially using little kids as "props." I'm not offended, don't get me wrong, but it's interesting how he and the Oscars went there.

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 06:05 AM) Kelly and Fox News would love to have Clinton in office for four years, it means much higher ratings (and revenues) for FOX than when a Republican is in office. Comparing Adam Eaton and Hillary Clinton isn't going to get us anywhere. A lot of that incident was staged as an "ambush" at a private fundraising dinner, it was more or less a calculated stunt meant to provoke a confrontation and not a legitimate attempt at real dialogue. As always, there's a double standard for what a Clinton, Trump or Bush can get away (heck, anyone on Wall Street the last decade), compared to a normal, middle class American. Great posts Caulfield. You are a political maestro IMO. I like your last paragraph here as it points to yet another story I found suggesting that Bill and Hillary feel entitled to do anything they please. Here was another atrocity IMO. http://observer.com/2016/03/no-shame-for-b...-no-boundaries/

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 3, 2016 -> 01:56 AM) Greg, if Condoleezza Rice or Colin Powell were running for president this year, would you be making the same accusations towards them, since they basically did the exact same thing she's accused of? (Actually with Secretary Powell, he also---unknowingly, since he was obviously lied to---lied to the United Nations on behalf of the president, so you can add that as well.) As soon as you can find ONE Democratic official crossing sides and pushing for a criminal indictment of her, that's when your argument will actually have some traction. Otherwise, you won't find more than a handful of "reasonable" Republicans like John McCain arguing she SHOULDN'T be indicted. A lot of them were probably lining up to impeach Bill Clinton in 1998 as well. I guess I am also curious if, to your knowledge, you've been able to change the mind of one person or more about Hillary Clinton...or are you actually having a counter-effect of forcing those who don't have a strong opinion one way or the other (maybe some independents or moderates) to support or defend her? People will believe whatever they want to believe, and nothing will convince them any differently. Any of us who talk about politics here could come up with a LONG list of pages and pages of quotes and comments from Donald Trump and present it to a Trump supporter and surely none or very few would be convinced to change their vote...in fact, they'd probably be even more likely to dig in, accuse you of being part of the Republican establishment and pledge to go out and bring in more voters on his behalf. In South Carolina, a CBS News exit poll found that 75 percent of Republican voters supported banning Muslims from the United States. A PPP poll found that a third of Trump voters support banning gays and lesbians from the country. Twenty percent said Lincoln shouldn't have freed the slaves. Would you honestly rather join ranks with THAT group? Because that's likely to be the choice, unless you write-in a candidate or vote 3rd party. Good post Caulfield. I may be having the counter effect, but it angers me to see her berate that African American woman today who asked her a couple questions. "Why don't you run for something?" And then she had a wicked laugh. I mean, again, that is WAY WORSE than anything Adam Eaton did in his tweet. She was condescending and mean and wouldn't answer the person's question. Then I read Meghan Kelly is gushing about how Hillary is destined to make history in November over and over. I don't understand why somebody like this guy I know, who WORKS FOR the government says he'd be in jail and fired long ago if he breached security like Hillary did with her emails. And Hillary doesn't get in trouble at all. Caulfield you are a political mastermind, please answer that question for me.

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 10:45 PM) The FBI is not specifically investigating Clinton, and their ongoing investigation is not criminal. Good article, but I'm most interested with the first 2-3 paragraphs of that article. "As the 2016 campaign heats up, so too the clarion calls for Hillary Clinton to be charged with a federal crime stemming from her use of a personal email server while serving as Secretary of State. Last week, former U.S. Attorney General and Judge Michael Mukasey amplified his call for her head on a criminal platter. This week, The Hill reports that the FBI investigation “isn’t letting up” and former House Majority Leader Tom Delay became the latest conservative to predict that the FBI would soon recommend she be indicted (and he certainly knows a thing or two about the criminal justice system)."

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 11:33 PM) I'd just like to point out again that the idea that Clinton is under any sort of criminal investigation at all was a complete fabrication by the NYT. So you are denying the FBI is currently examining this issue and even as we speak wanting to speak with some more Clinton aides?

2016 Democratic Thread
QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 10:05 PM) Really informative article and quote from DiGenova, an attorney who has been gnashing his teeth at Benghazi for 4 years and contributes heavily to Republicans, and worked for Romney. No actual evidence was provided, just a nice hit piece right as she figures out her candidacy. My hope as a Hillary 'hater' if that's the right word is the FBI recommends charges be filed within the next two months. Now if the FBI does that, can it just be ignored?? If so ... we are not living in a democracy anymore. So again, it's very very possible the FBI recommends charges, say in May. Then at the convention the Democratic party decides that a person on trial cannot be its candidate. Some people think it's a done deal that at least the FBI will recommend charges be filed. if we as a country ignore that, then God help us all. My question to lawyers is ... does the FBI have the final say? Or can Obama say "hogwash, we are not prosecuting Ms. Clinton."

OM goodness, listen to Clinton's condescending laugh at the end of this confrontation with a black woman today. "Why don't you go run for something then?" That's WORSE than anything Eaton said for gosh sakes. Hillary told a young African American woman to go run for something if she disagrees with Hillary. Sickening elitist. http://thefederalist.com/2016/03/02/hillar...something-then/ p.s. I know most of you all hate me for my positions and general demeanor but truth be told I talked to a person today who WORKS for the government he said he flat out "would be in jail" if he did with his email what Hillary did. JAIL. (I realize nobody cares; they'd rather attack Adam Eaton for goshsakes for nothing).

2016 Republican Thread
QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) NYT people have said the tape exists, so it's not totally made up. But who knows what he actually said, and the NYT says they won't release unless Trump asks them to. New York Post tears into the Times for purposely leaking this in an Editorial Board off the record meeting with Trump, as editorial boards do with candidates. Says they are out to get him and it was unethical to leak this. Why he would meet with the Times board shocks the world as they want Hillary desperately to win.
