1 May, 2015 ~ Independent Socialist Bernie Sanders officially ‘self-identifies’ as a Democrat and files with DNC to challenge Hillary Clinton for the Presidency. Great unexpected success ensues. By early June, 2016, Sanders has accrued amazingly strong Dem support and repeatedly declares disinterest in dropping out. Six days later: 8 June, 2016 ~ Sanders and Clintons meet in DC.

Media massagers out in full force transforming Mittens into a hero for kicking middle class to the curb and walking off with millions. The fact that a fella born into luxury and spent entire life enriching self at expense of others says it all. When one is born into wealth, there is the luxury of choice - to protect wealth and accumulate more or to improve life for others. Mittens clearly chose the former. He has spent his life in lovely homes specifically located to s ...

who claim 6-year-old Emile Parker and Principal Dawn Hochsprung didn't really die in the shooting. They find the grieving parents, witnesses and community member suspicious and believe they are all paid actors.

These truthers have harassed him relentlessly with phone calls, emails and websites propagating their monstrous slander and have set up phony website accoun ...

Trump, who has been in a war of words with the 2008 Republican nominee, jibed of McCain: “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured? I like people who weren’t captured.” You know it is bad when --- The former Texas governor Rick Perry said the remarks represented “a new low in American politics” and demanded that Trump “immediately withdraw from the race for president.” http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/donald-trump-attack-on-john-mccain-w ...

Three years after the White House arranged a hero's welcome at the State of the Union address for the Fort Hood police sergeant and her partner who stopped the deadly shooting there, Kimberly Munley says President Obama broke the promise he made to her that the victims would be well taken care of. "Betrayed is a good word," former Sgt. Munley told ABC News in a tearful interview to be broadcast tonight on "World News with Diane Sawyer" and "Nightline." "Not to the least little bit h ...

about her military service....on the eve of Independence Day, no less. Walsh never served in the military. This Tea Party darling barely squeaked by in his 2010 8th US congressional district race by a mere 291 votes out of more than 220,000, after having lost two prior bids in 1996 and 1998 by wide margins, in the -25% range. He is one of only 2 republicans to hold that seat since 1932. From the moment he took office, he's gotten into one controvesy a ...

While Trump’s executive action marks a significant shift in decades of U.S. immigration policies, it isn't the first time the U.S. has restricted immigration from specific countries. Pierce of the Migration Policy Institute pointed to three past instances -- the banning of Chinese immigration in the 1880s, national origin immigration quotas and restrictions in the 1920s, and a brief 1980 halt of new visas for Iranian immigrants. <snipped> Jimmy Carter Restricts Iranian I ...

A truly sad statement on our society today . . . this man was a homeless immigrant, no less. Since we know how many people (especially those that comment regularly on here) have a huge resentment toward the homeless and immigrants, guess a lot of the very people on this forum would have walked on by . . . so much for compassion http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/24/hugo-alfredo-tale-yax-doz_n_550854.html ...

I gotta admit...I like Joe Manchin, democrat from West Virginia. He truly seems like a guy who wants to help us regular folk. He has done well in West Virginia and I really liked an interview he gave regarding the Boehner and Reid debt ceiling bills. He didn't point fingers or blame anyone. He was kind in his assessment of Reid and Boehner bills and simply said he wanted a fix and not just a Band-Aid. Seems like a really smart guy who really cares. Wish there w ...

I decided to bring my reply to the top since the previous thread is about to fall off the screen. Your thorough and thoughtful disclosures of your beliefs and take on various candidates in no way resemble a soap-box dialog. I have learned a lot about my own attitudes and stereotypical thinking about conservatives from you and really appreciate your taking the time to post. Yep. I can relate to the flip-flop and trust issues you have with Romney. It has been a bitte ...

If a conservative doesn’t like a news organization or a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down. If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a ...

"We must reject the idea that every time a law is broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is respnsible for his own actions." Research it if you want to know who said it..... Why are fingers pointed at a group of people every time some idiot does something stupid. I refuse the bear the responsibility for the actions of this guy. I am a conservative Christian, gun-owner, but I would have been at that ...

I have read conservatives are against Obama's health care law. I would like to know who should pay for people who refuse to buy health insurance. For example, I hired a handyman out of the local paper. he told me about his appendicitis. He said he did not buy health care because he knew govt would take care of his bill if he could not. Why do you not wish for each individual to be responsible for their hospital bills? Not looking for argument, just would ...

As we can clearly see, W holds the championship title, hands down. "When the President does it, that means that it's not illegal." ~ Richard M.

In an effort understand what the Conservative is really saying, I hope you will find these terms/definitions helpful: Family: The war on Gays. Pro-Life: Pro-war, Pro-Death penalty, and Pro-We Choose For You. War on Religion: It's unacceptable that our laws and culture are not based solely on my interpretation of the bible.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A REPUBLICAN Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards. He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee.

All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because some liberal union ...

A recent Pew poll showed that well over 50% of conservatives could not say just who was in charge of the GOP, i.e., identify their own leader(s). Most conservatives feel an especial need for a leader to follow too. Could this hole have anything to do with their attempts to "adopt" Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and now John Kennedy as their own by twisting and distorting what these men really stood for? Amusing as the thought of this particular pampered scion of the northeastern elite raving ...
