US Presidential Contenders

I'm running for Parliament!

We already knew that they both agree that the current two-party political system is a good thing, and that media bias is ok.

I know no such thing as to the first part, and believe it indicates a lack of knowledge/understanding of what Ms. Huffington is about (besides founding a rather skeevey leftist news site).  -She thinks the system is nasty and borked beyond belief, I assure you.

In fact, I'm pretty sure almost anyone at Fox would say the same.  They just profoundly disagree about what parts are evil and ruining the whole thing.

Ok, maybe I should have said "they both agree that the current two-party political system doesn't have both parties being evil".

[Buster's Uncle]

That's more like being opposite, as you were trying to point out.  The thing is, even extreme outlets on the opposite sides agree that the Pig is no good - it's just their blatant slant that allows them to let it show.

-Bet NPR has had some interesting thing to say about the Pig.

[Yitzi]

That's more like being opposite, as you were trying to point out.

Except in how they react to something that's apparently taking aim at both sides...

We watched "Meet The Press" Sunday because it was about Hillary and Donald. Here are some interesting bits-

Citizen at a [Sleezebag] Rally- " He's our microphone"
Panelist- "[Sleezebag] is basically a more likeable version of Pat Buchanan"
another Panelist- "He has moved from unthinkable to thinkable"

Then they had Hillary clips- Her dealing with the e-mail server over time.
Hillary polls.
Comment- She's a good lawyer, and that's what she sounds like.

****************************************************
Today the White House press secretary was pressed about Obama's preference between Biden and Hillary. He pointed out that Obama once said that Joe Biden was the best political decision he ever made. Furthermore, Obama will support the party's eventual presidential candidate.

I despise Hillary. She's a walking lawyer joke. Or politician joke.

I have a copy of the Watergate transcripts. It might be worth something if it hadn't sat too close to a window for too many years. I digress. I see a comparison between Nixon's tapes and Hillary's server. The reason to resist turning them over isn't so much about fear of incrimination, it's about revealing personal character for what it is behind the public image. Cursing. Anger. Opinions of people in the party and the public. That sort of thing.

Bakrama had to take his window of opportunity when it was there, but the lack of dues paid/experience qualifying has shown in his tepid presidency, I think, for all that his greater problem is trying to be conciliatory in the face of implacable intransigent (Nazi) opposition. 
...
 I do not enjoy the childish squealing of the secret (if that) racist/selfishness/nazi crap-talk party when a Democrat gets in, and I'd love to see the party cough up someone less polarizing - the thing that moderate Obama should have been if he'd been perceived publically as the centrist compromiser he is (when we needed a populist firebrand cleaning house of Nazis - we got the worst of all worlds with him).

All republicans who have not explicitly denounced the excesses of the Cheney Occupation are simply out of the question for any office under any conditions -
...
Thoughts?  Like anyone out there for President and why?

You know, Man, I found that thread and thought it would be an interesting read but this first post...
It seems that nowadays you can't express an opinion right of socialism without being labelled a nazi.
Against gay marriage? NAZI!
Against illimited immigration? NAZI!
Defend the right to self-defense? NAZI!
Against social spending? NAZI!
People talking like that just appear excessive and ridiculous and, of course, untolerant to the extreme. Not to say oblivious to facts: why talk with someone like that then?

And now I'll keep on reading...

[Buster's Uncle]

Fine.  There's no pleasing you.

[Buster's Uncle]

Let me underline that: the only opinion you express in Rec Commons is that my opinions suck.  That's seriously butthole behavior.

GO. AWAY.

Bingo. You can only shriek NAZI, HATER, RACIST at people so many times before it starts to lose its effect.
And the left has been doing this ever since WW2. People in this country are utterly sick of this marxist Politically Correct crap. And its probably going to propel
[Sleezebag] right into the white house.

[Buster's Uncle]

...Yeah; I'm REALLY gone overboard calling Dick Cheney a Nazi...







I don't know what I was thinking.

[Vishniac]

GO. AWAY.

No.
I won't be leftist-bullied. 

[Buster's Uncle]

Look; don't play that reactionary game with me.  It's not about you being wrong; it's about you being a jerk to me every time you post in this folder - instead of bothering to actually contribute anything of substance.

You need to check your manners, sir.

There's a term forum people use to refer to members who only neg.  We've been over and over this in the Star Trek thread repeatedly, and you got nothing to say about what you like or why you like it - just drive-bys to criticize another member's expression of opinion.

[admin hat] Get in the habit of expressing your own positive opinions, how and why you are in favor of/ like something in  in some small detail, to balance out the bad-mouthing.  That is how a healthy community works.  You do not add content in here; you only complain.  That must stop.

von, since you saw fit to jump in and dog-pile with the same tired crap as always, same goes for you.  Since your first OT post, you've been on thin ice - balance out the bad-mouthing with positive talk about anything if you want to contribute to our community and do not wish to be officially designated a troll and treated accordingly.  -At least you have three or four not-crap-talk posts in Masks going for you.

-Gentlemen, I've asked both of you to cool it with the offending behaviors many times.  I advise you think very carefully before you make that next Rec Commons post.

Incidentally, publically-announced site policy is that rules-lawyering compounds the offense. [/admin hat]

Fox News Unleashes Angry Anchors on ‘Totally Out of Control’ Donald [Sleezebag]
The Wrap
Jordan Chariton  August‎ ‎25‎, ‎2015






Fox News Channel unleashed its anchors on Tuesday to fight back against Donald [Sleezebag]’s renewed criticisms of star anchor Megyn Kelly.

“He is totally out of bounds reigniting that fight,” Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade said on Tuesday’s show.”I don’t know if he expects to get ratings out of that, or poll numbers, but he’s not going to be successful. “You can not, you should not, keep going after her.”

Kilmeade also called [Sleezebag] “totally out of control” (probably a comment that won’t help keep [Sleezebag] as a regular phone guest on the morning show).

Sean Hannity, Geraldo Rivera, Bret Baier, Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino took to Twitter to directly and indirectly tell [Sleezebag] to cool it with the Kelly attacks.


[Sleezebag] live-tweeted during “The Kelly File” on Monday night, criticizing the Fox star, who had just returned from vacation. He also retweeted tweets that called her a “bimbo.”


The [Sleezebag]–Fox News feud begun after [Sleezebag] went off on Kelly following the network’s GOP presidential debate, calling her questions unfair and suggesting she was menstruating during the debate.

The anchors’ breaking their silence is the first of what’s likely to be a strong, coordinates response from Fox News and network chairman Roger Ailes.

The network hasn’t yet formally made a statement on [Sleezebag]’s renewed attacks on Kelly.

See the link for a bunch of tweets that are too much trouble to copy (and format badly in quotes).

[Rusty Edge]

Suppose FOX decided to ignore him. Even going as far to list him in their poll questions as "other".

Do you think he could win the Republican nomination?

[Buster's Uncle]

They sure have a lot of say over what that particular corner of the group mind is thinking...
