QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 6, 2016 -> 12:52 PM) Ok, so while you're trying to find some interview he did with Hannity on the all crazy channel, remember... He just asked the Khan family to apologize to Trump... Joseph built the pyramids in Egypt to store grain.... That being gay must be a choice, because how do you explain guys in prison... Evolution is 100% fake Climate change isn't real, sometimes things get hot, sometimes things get cool... This is the Ben Carson that ran for President. And that is why he got destroyed, not because of the "Main Stream Media" Stop watching Fox News. He also believes in all sorts of New World Order / Illuninati / secret Communists everywhere conspiracy theories. He's an idiot.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 5, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) Reading that, I can think of one thing: PEOPLE VOTE IN YOUR STATE ELECTIONS I live in NC. The state is super gerrymandered. Democrats got 51% of votes in the 2012 house elections and won 31% of the seats. Democrats got 44% of votes in the 2014 house elections and won 23% of the seats. Here's what my district (12) looks like. Gotta make sure the #1, #3, and #5 largest cities in the state are in the same district!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 5, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) With that criteria, isn't Lincoln one of the most unfit for office ever in 1860? His election drove a portion of the country to start an armed insurrection over slavery that would result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. No matter who the R's or D's nominated, many people in America would not stand them. We're a country with pretty strong party polarization these days. There's a few past Presidents with decent overall approval ratings, but there's always a sizable portion of the country (40%+) that disapprove. And for whatever it's worth, Clinton is actually starting to creep up to 50/50 favorability ratings in a few recent polls. I'm not dancing a jig, either. I don't know how many "lesser evil" arguments I can post it would take to convince you guys I'm not exactly enamored with Clinton. If you love her so much, why don't you just marry her?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2016 -> 04:44 AM) He was great on Hannity tonight. A brilliant surgeon is not an incompetent boob/clown and that's how he was portrayed. That's what he is. Carson may be a brilliant surgeon, but he knows nothing about political issues, he's a nutjob conspiracy theorist, and has wacko religious beliefs.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 04:17 PM) It's even more bizarre that you highlight Republicans making the same argument the rest of are, that Trump is so far beyond 'normal' that they can't in good conscience vote for him and will actually vote for Hillary Clinton, but still can't see it. If some Republicans think Trump is so bad that they'll vote for Clinton, doesn't that say something about the equivalence you keep trying to draw here? No. Hillary is also miles beyond normal (due to unspecified reasons that can't be named), but Democrats "fall in line" anyway. It's only because Republicans are so principled and honorable that they're disavowing Trump.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 04:55 PM) I want someone to ask him a nonsensical question like "Do you believe the sectarian conflict between the ethnic Harambe and Dothraki has led to them all being unfairly maligned as Salafists?" He'd evade the question and pivot to an attack on Hillary. Then after being informed about the bogus nature of the question, he'd launch into a "biased, rigged media" schtick.

If the Dems want to win, they should gather up a collection of respectable people and have them criticize Trump in national ads. He won't be able to help himself from bashing them. "I was a construction worker who didn't get paid due to Trump." "THAT GUY SUCKED AT POURING CONCRETE. WHAT A LOSER." "I lost my legs in Iraq. I don't want Donald Trump as commander in chief." "NO LEGS, CAN'T EVEN WALK. SAD. SHOULDN'T HAVE STEPPED ON A MINE."

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 02:44 PM) I think she's just smarter and more experienced about it. But we can still all see it. The question is do people actually care? It would seem no is the answer. People have expectations of corruption when it comes to politicians to the point where we just accept it now. The post wasn't about general political corruption/shadiness/dishonesty. It was about the new levels of crazy Trump is reaching, like bashing the families of fallen heroes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2016 -> 03:18 AM) Team Clinton just pulls most of their stunts behind closed doors and then denies them all. It makes it easy for the surrogates to defend, and do the dirty work. LOL, this is next level #BothSides. She's doing all the same things, but it's all being hidden so we can't see it! Hillary Clinton has the Illuminati on her side.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 03:15 PM) Mormons really, really seem to hate Trump. Not so quick to throw away all their family values and traditional morality like the Evangelicals.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) Trump is a scary and reckless individual. The likes of Mitt Romney would be welcome this election. How far would you have to go back to find a GOP nominee worse than Donald Trump?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) Hillary supporters are/would be the same. That's just where we are in 2016 as a country. Elections have become American Idol competitions. The truth doesn't matter, just how it's all presented. Bruh, come on. Trump is hitting unprecedented levels of dishonesty. This isn't typical political dishonesty like wordplay or spin. It's making up things out of whole cloth knowing that they can be trivially fact-checked and proven wrong. He literally DOES NOT CARE about the truth value of his statements.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 08:06 PM) We can't bury our heads in the sand. People of the world are at war with each other. You could be shot, stabbed at a movie theatre, anywhere. I don't want to be negative on a Thursday but it's a scary world we live in. Be vigilant. Be safe. Be good. Bro, we're living in the safest era of all time.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 28, 2016 -> 04:52 AM) The problem for her is that to this day, despite 24 years in the spotlight, many Americans are still unsure of exactly what she has accomplished (that she can legitimately take a large amount of credit for)...for example, if you were to poll the first ten random people on the el tmrw morning and ask them what are Hillary's three main accomplishments, how would they answer? The average American couldn't name 3 accomplishments of ANY politician, including Presidents.

I didn't see Kaine's speech, but this "Tim Kaine as cool dad/uncle" meme is some funny s***.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) Newsmax lol Newsmax quoting Larry Klayman, the guy who sued the Obama administration for intentionally bringing ebola to the US in order to kill white Christians, and who asked the Dept of Homeland Security to deport Obama for being a secret Muslim foreigner. High credibility

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 27, 2016 -> 07:27 AM) OMG she is beating Trump with 76 percent of the vote? He can't overcome that. Game over. Blowout. You're not following the news. Trump already conceded and Hillary promised him the next Secretary of the Treasury position.

I'm still eagerly anticipating Greg's Hillary-turn.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jul 26, 2016 -> 04:07 PM) He's gaining my vote PLEASE hit the 15% threshold to get into the debates

Haha, damn these Bernie fans are ROWDY

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 04:48 PM) Which is exactly why you are defending this crap. You mean the thing I called "scummy"? I'm seriously starting to believe you're not even reading my posts. Being ACCURATE about something isn't the same as supporting it. Again, you're calling a slap a murder and accusing me of bias when I disagree even though you're objectively wrong and can't support your claim.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) image We're talking about the "Is Bernie an atheist? That wouldn't play well with Baptists" email.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 04:29 PM) Actually the fact that it wasn't the position you attacked, but undermined the wording instead of what was actually done that shows the bias. The actions weren't the problem, it was me. I attacked your ever-changing position that the email was racist, anti-Semitic, or stereotyping...because it wasn't. That's not undermining wording; it's striking to the core of the argument. You were dishonestly attempting to make a mountain out of a molehill in order to push #BothSides, for purely partisan reasons. At no point has anyone denied an anti-Bernie bias within the emails, or that they considered taking advantage of anti-atheist bias amongst Southern Baptists.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 25, 2016 -> 03:17 PM) I think the issue is that that everyone here is so pro-Dem, that no matter what, you have to buy the party line and spout it off to protect the candidate. The fact that you couldn't support your position(s) shows that the bias on this issue was on your end.
