QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 14, 2016 -> 02:12 PM) I support Hillary. There are some posters here who I will take out the time to write a post on my thoughts because it will be a part of an interesting discussion. If one of them ask I may write one. That's pretty much what I hear from all Hillary supporters. I just support her, dammit. Truthfully I think most who support Hillary either are doing so because they would never ever vote Republican and the other democrat candidate is kind of off the wall bizarre. Good luck to Hillary supporters as she will be continuing her fight to stay out of jail. Her email situation/FBI may be in the news for a long time until it culminates in formal charges?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 11:19 PM) Internet dancing on his grave. Very sad. A human being has died, Internetworld. I know you don't care. But a good person is dead. Let's talk about him, not his replacement.

Good debate tonight. Kasisch seemed most presidential IMO. Donald was on rinse, repeat with his insults and generalities about how everybody loves him. Cruz and Rubio? Like my criticism of Hillary, they just don't have "it." Jeb is dopey. I really like Carson. He's a more sane version of Trump. Outsider who wants to save the economy but won't insult people. It will be amusing to see Donald vs. Hillary. He's going to go on the attack, blasting her mercilessly.

Glad to see SNL mock Hillary on its opening skit tonight. The young women of today really are embarrassing Hillary with their disdain for her and for people like Steinem telling 'em they owe it to all women to vote for Hillary. Really? I'm really enjoying the crickets when I ask people why they support Hillary. "Just because." "It's the right thing to do." Oh really? A person still in hot water over those emails. Just nominate Bernie, Democrats. Just do it.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 02:27 PM) Can you explain to me how Obama was a disaster of a president? Just off the top of my head: Took on a s***ty economy because of a mistake of a War by the previous president, 5% unemployment currently, gas is cheap, Caught Bin Laden (if you care about that), legalized gay marriage, health care costs have risen at the slowest rates in decades. I don't know if he's one of the best presidents ever but if you think it's a "disaster" you're either racist or very uninformed. Sure. Obamacare is a ridiculous disaster and health care in America still blows. His presidency has been the personification of unable to lead, unable to get anything through Congress, unable to work with Congress. Am I worse off now than when he took over? Gosh yes. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) Don't feed the troll. As much as I contribute to discussion on here, I'm getting offended by being called a troll.

Hillary apparently won tonight's debate. Congratulations to her since she congratulated Bernie for his win in New Hampshire. Today the Clinton foundation was subpoenaed ... yet everybody is saying it's not Hillary under fire for anything there. Hillary's emails under siege ... yet everybody is convinced she's done no wrong, broken no laws. Where there's smoke there's fire, folks. Can you imagine if she wins the nomination and she gets indicted for a crime right before the real election? What then? To be fair ... on the other side can you imagine if Trump gets the nomination and says something so incredibly stupid right before the election even he can't make it go away? This is why, folks, some people are thinking of running as Independents.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 11:32 PM) Well yeah, obviously it was an exaggeration. As a college bartender I'd like to think we were in the higher numbers comparatively and thats crazy, but if you start factoring in life after college (a decade or so) its not that far out of range. Is it true most bartenders could pick up the hottest girls in the bar near closing time?

Different friend. Just called me with serious problem. His wife just left last night. She went to stay with her mom. Said she's unsure if she wants marriage to continue. They have one 9 year old boy, no other kids. The wife is very sweet person, very attractive, not a b**** in any way. The husband, bless him, is very very devoted to wife and child. But he's wound so tight, so uptight. He's a former football lineman and has that type of monster mentality. Bark, not bite. He'd never hit her or the child or anything. He's just a Type A lunatic if that's the right word, one of those guys who screams at motorists, etc. My advice to him was tell her this is his wake up call. Tell her he'll do anything, go to counseling, do all he can to give her the perfect life. They've dated since high school and are 35 and meant for each other. I told him to just tell her he will do everything in his power to make her life as perfect as possible. That he will work on himself through counseling, etc. What should he do? He was beside himself in pain and almost crying when he called.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 05:01 PM) Yep, we've been sold a bill of goods about college I'll stop with the topic then. Didn't know 400 partners was pretty average

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 01:52 PM) LoL. If their were no term limits, Bill Clinton could still be president if he wanted to. Very true

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 04:00 PM) In all my time on Soxtalk this is literally one of the worst posts I have ever read on here. You should be ashamed for have even typed it, whether trolling or serious. Have you read a word of his posts about gay life? He's trying to educate us. He has a unique perspective and is trying to inform. What he writes is totally contrary to what is portrayed. 400 partners?

QUOTE (farmteam @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 06:09 AM) There's a decent chance we've never heard of the person who will win the 2028 election. Here's my prediction. 2016: Hillary Rodham Clinton (decides to use full name) 2020: Hillary Rodham Clinton. 2024: Chelsea Clinton 2028: Chelsea Clinton 2032: I have no idea.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) You can ask away. No worries. In gay life its all about how many people you sleep with. I have friends that have been with over 400 people. Most first dates end up in bed. I have a lot of friends that are in their late 20's mid 30's scared to death of losing their looks so they do Botox. Anymore questions feel free to PM me. I am sort of an expert on gay life being around it for over 20 years lol. I think the gay life is a lot different in reality than we've been told on TV shows, etc. It sounds like a big orgy type situation. Whitesoxjr27 is telling us some wild stuff that gay life is more about sex sex sex than the stuff we've been sold about gay marriage, etc. How the hell would any males stay married with this desire for sex being the only factor in gay relationships according to whitesoxjr?? Has the public been sold a bill of goods thinking gay lifestyle is basically the same as hetero lifestyle? Same goals of marriage, raising kids, having a picket fence, etc??

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 02:08 AM) Probably not but if Obama could run again he'd win rather easily. It's amazing. I'd love a psychologist to tell us why, but if Obama could run again and again, he'd win the next four elections hands down in landslides. I don't get the voting public. Obama was a disaster of a president and yet like you said, he'd win President for sure if he could run again this time and I stand by my statement he could win three more elections after that.

If Biden entered tomorrow, would he win?

Bernie Sanders is the man on the Democratic side. Let's face it. If he was 10 years younger he'd be a LOCK. He's just a little bit old. He won big tonight, folks. I've been watching the post election shows and I've heard words like "desperate" regarding Hillary. I'm just repeating what I've heard. They said because of the African American support, she still is a lock to be the Democratic candidate, but the pundits are still questioning her bizarre screaming of her speeches and her desperate attitude, blaming a right wing conspiracy today. My only hope as a Hillary dis-liker, is that the FBI accuses her of a crime and charges are filed and b.) this African American vote is not a done deal. I'd prefer a Bernie vs. Trump election or even better Biden or somebody else decides to run and be the Demcratic nominee after all. Even Hillary supporters have to admit tonight was not a good result for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) You know...I don't really get it. A lot of what Greg has said is actually true. Have you guys watched a lot of the clips. Most of the time I watch any coverage on the election, I just roll my eyes at the absurd arguments made on both sides of the court. You all do realize the vast majority of people who vote know nothing other than some slight aspects from what the media says and more often are going to go and vote based upon party and likeability. For example, someone just not liking someone because of there look is a total normal reason to not vote for someone or how they carry themselves. History has shown how superficial voters are and yet all of you want to ignore those facts. I have talked to numerous people who like trump purely because they here the media say he tells it like it is. None of them know what he actually is saying, he just "tells it like it is". Thats it. You all give people too much damn credit to be frank. And maybe someone will whine and say, well now we are smarter, no we aren't, Howard Dean's speach ended his campaign (did he have other issues, sure, but that one speech sure has hell torpedoed any remaining odds he had and it isn't like he said anything bad). Plus lets be realists, I could make an argument that Trump (and I think by now, all of you know I don't like Trump) is the most selfless of everyone in this campaign as he's the only one who hasn't been totally bought out (of course I'd also tell you he has a gargantuan ego and that is probably more to do with him running). They are all selfish candidates who have all kind of interests with gigantic egos. Anyone thinks otherwise is delusional. The potential exception to this is Sanders, who genuinely seems passionate about what he wants to do (and I'll give him credit for that) and is an extremely rare candidate from that regard. Thank you Chisoxfn! To get an esteemed moderator to back what I've been saying is a true honor. This proves that not everybody disagrees with my posts. I am not always wrong, folks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) This is a really interesting conversation we keep having about greg posting things he's watched on cable news and how the media loves hillary. I think it's VERY interesting that young women voters are being attacked by older women basically saying, "How dare you not vote for a woman since you are a woman!" Again ... if a man said, "Of course I'm voting for Bernie. He's male," that person would be fried on TV.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 01:06 AM) Trust me. Gay guys are brutal to each other. If you're over 30 without a six pack they can be very mean. Gay life is full of partying, drinking, lots of drugs, and sex. I have many great gay friends don't get me wrong. Interesting to be educated on this. Do you find that gay people tend to be only about sex way more than a man/woman thing? As somebody with no clue on this subject I would 'think' that in gay relationships it's WAY MORE about hopping into bed ASAP, like I mean cut the date short and hit the covers. Am I right? Sorry if this offends. I'll stop if it's a bad subject.

This is good stuff on CNN. So if some male celebrity was to say he chooses Bernie over Hillary because he's a man, he'd get roasted by the media. But feminists are saying there's a special place in hell for women who don't support women and that's OK?? This young voter gets it right. Also did you see the clip of Rachel Maddow hugging Hillary and Bernie after the debate. Hilarious. Wink, wink we are all for you Hillary! Via CNN article. ... "As a young woman who supports Bernie Sanders, I'm frustrated and outraged by being constantly attacked by older feminists for my refusal to vote according to my gender," said Ariana Javidi, a sophomore studying human rights, economics and gender studies at the University of Connecticut. "Like my fellow young feminist women, I recognize that voting for a woman because she's a woman is sexist, just like voting for a man because he's a man is also sexist," said Javidi. "When older feminists like Albright and Steinem engage in increasingly baseless and wild explanations about why young women don't support Hillary, they display the limitations of their brand of feminism, while young women like me realize that one's gender isn't what makes them a feminist."

Please watch this and tell me there's not a bias AGAINST the Republicans. O'Reilly gets it right and hits hard. http://video.foxnews.com/v/4745292784001/h...1#sp=show-clips

Sox need a shortstop who can hit over .200. I really feel in a full season, Saladino won't hit for s***. I wonder how season ticket sales are going. Right now, I can't see this team overachieving. A ceiling of .500 seems about right. Please make a couple more moves, White Sox.

If they move, no way in hell would I be a Sox fan. I'd also feel very weird, like my whole life was a sham. The past wouldn't mean much if the team is in some other city. Sports are a big deal. I witnessed relatives screaming at each other in Sox vs. Cubs arguments. I actually was peacemaker in going to some Cub games with my grandfather as a kid since no other relatives would go with him. If the Sox moved, that would be terrible. I'm almost positive I would not follow them at all. I doubt I'd start to root for the Cubs but I guess it's possible. Chicago is the key here.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 03:04 PM) who was that? I do love comparing elections in the 60's to now. People were all over the message boards back then talking about Nixon's sweat. History is history. It was a factor in the election. Candidates as you are well aware spend amazing amounts of time practicing looking into cameras, making sure they don't look scary on TV. Whether it's 30 percent or 50 percent ... superficial issues like looks and how one sounds definitely trump the issues in many cases.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 8, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) Ironically trying to counter the fact that he's not another version of the inexperienced and unprepared Obama by saying how effective he is at destroying the country isn't the greatest argument in the world. Nor is citing your own accomplishments when you don't actually show up for the votes but simultaneously dinging Obama for golfing when GW Bush doing the same or hanging out at his Crawford ranch was just being a man's man. Caulfield, I respect your political posts. It's obvious you know your s***. Tell me what's going to happen in terms of both parties and then the general election.
