Coburn Endorses Rubio - Trashes Trump
Fmr Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) --- "Donald Trump's campaign is a fabrication. he is perpetuating a fraud on the American people."
Richweb? Do you agree with Coburn?
I do.

"What Difference, At this Point, "Does It Make?"
Option one: There is a protest; not a planned attack. Someone dies.
Option two: There is not a protest. But rather a planned attack. Someone dies.
In both cases, someone dies.
So --- at this point ---- now that someone has died, what difference does it make which option was the operative one at the time?
None, of course.
"Oh, yes, it does!" some complain. " Under option #1, they wouldn't have died the same way."
No, sorry -- there is NO reason to believe they'd have died a different way.

Of course it does, it does make a difference how they died
Clinton: With all due respect, the fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided that they’d they go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make? It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator. Now, honestly, I will do my best to answer your questions about this, but the fact is that people were trying in real time to get to the best information. The IC has a process, I understand, going with the other committees to explain how these talking points came out.http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2013/may/08/context-hillary-clintons-what-difference-does-it-m/

How can Trump claim to disavow Duke on Friday; then turn around on Sunday and claim he knows nothing about him?
You have to admit --- Trump got caught in a major whopper there.
JONATHAN GREENBLATT, CEO, ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE: Well, look, the Anti-Defamation League for over 100 years has been fighting bigotry and anti-Semitism and we don't endorse any political candidate or support any political party. But let me be clear, it is profoundly disappointing and somewhat puzzling when a candidate for the highest office in our nation claims not to be aware of or clear about who David Duke or the Ku Klux Klan might be. Let me be clear, it's time for Donald Trump just to be as forthright with us as he is with his rallies and on the debates, does he support him or not?

Corinthians, Hillary, and "Loving Kindness"
<B>Hillary cites I Corinthians and issues a hopeful and uplifting appeal to our better nature. </B>
"“Love never fails,” it tells us. “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
These are words to live by not only for ourselves but also for our country. I know it sometimes seems a little odd for someone running for president, these days, in this time, to say we need more loving kindness in America. But I’m telling you, from the bottom up my heart, we do. We do." - http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/2/27/1492599/-Hillary-Clinton-s-South-Carolina-speech-Transcript

Blacks, Democrats, and Stupidity
SaPanther: ". . . the conservative theme is blacks are too stupid to vote correctly ... NEVER do our Republican types state that the Republican Party might not represent the interests of blacks, or any other minority ... it is always, the minorities are too stupid to vote correctly, meaning for Republicans ... "<HR>
Yes, we've seen this over and over -- sometimes it takes the form of "Democrats keep blacks on the plantation (What's unsaid is, "Because Blacks are too fucking stupid to know Democrats are tricking them.)
Or "Blacks vote for Democrats because of all the free shit....(Leaving unsaid that Blacks are shiftless LAZY STUPID No-Accounts, who are happy to be pandered to by the Democrats.), etc.
Here's an example:

<B>Okay? What's this supposed to mean? Bernie lost because he's white? Because he's nice? Because he's old? Because he's a man?
I asked CaG to explain, and he flipped out.
Let's narrow it down. It's not because they don't like whites; no, Hillary's white. Not because they don't like men; no, they supported Obama overwhelmingly when he ran against a woman. Not because Bernie's old; no, she's pushing 70 herself. I'm trying to figure, well, WHAT does that leave? That leaves CaG believes blacks voted for Hillary because they are stupid.
CaG Your remarks taken together paint an ugly picture of racism.
You say it's unhealthy that blacks so overwhelming support a candidate; you say it's no surprise that the ''white'' man is defeated; and you say that the voting is ''weighted'' in favor of the blacks.
One slip up here or there maybe we can excuse; but we're beginning to see a pattern in your case.
You apparently think there is something wrong with blacks being able to defeat the opponent of the candidate you hate. But WHAT is wrong about it?
You won't explain other that to broadly suggest there is something ''unhealthy'' about it.
Very troubling, and perhaps a clue as to your irrational hatred of Hillary.

GOP Candidates Drop Out - Back Trump
Just as Christie has demonstrated.....what the GOP candidates say yesterday simply doesn't matter. Nothing that used to matter matters any more. Inconsistency, untruth, flip-flopping, hypocrisy, cheating, smearing, gouging, elbowing, and kicking ---- all are allowed on their side.
So, after christie, not many are going to raise eyebrows over Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Carson, Kasich, and others lining up behind Trump and pretending he's the greatest thing since Ronald Reaagan....
After all --- what's their alternative? No matter WHAT they do to stop Trump from getting the nomination, they hand the WH to either Hillary or Bernie.

Hillary and the unWar Vote
Enzer and other irrational Hillary critics seem unable to see that some matters require nuance.
For instance, a diplomat or a political leader in the most powerful nation in the world, in making decisions of grave importance, sometimes finds herself having to balance conflicting loyalties.
Hillary made it clear that she opposed going to war; believed it possible that by voting "yes" it might move toward a peaceful diplomatic solution; but recognized, to achieve that peaceful resolution, she was required to vote yes to use of force if needed. Without it, our diplomatic leverage is weakened. She balanced the conflicting notions and chose to exert pressure on Saddam with the resolution; and she did so ONLY with Bush's assurance that he'd resort to force ONLY as a last resort.

CaG Vents
CaG: For instance, I got Richweb to come around to the notion that when the media and political opponents DEMAND a candidate, release information, that candidate should do so as LONG AS the OTHERS do so as well.
It took a lot of work, but I was patient.
Now Richweb agrees with me about the unfair demands being made of Hillary.
CaG: You may call me names; I'm used to it. You know, though, that such venting isn't particularly effective in making a point.
My patient and methodical reasoning, though, IS effective; which, of course, you recognize and compels you to lash out in anger at me.
You realize that reason, logic, truth, and the facts are on my side; there is NOTHING you can do about that....so....
So vent. I can take it. *S*

Dino
Hillary never put out a policy in order to oppose it.
__________________________________________
Of course, she's advanced policies; for which she has deservedly received great praise.
You, though, admit you've never read or heard of her policies. Thus your opposition to her is irrational.
Thanks for playing.
______________
No, I'm sorry.
''I hate her ankles.''
''I hate her voice.''
''I hate her hair.''
None of these are rational reasons for opposing Hillary. And by admitting you are unaware of her policy proposals, you admit that you have no rational basis for opposing her.
_________________________
Dino: Here's a hint.
If you're going to say you oppose someone's candidacy, you should first find at least one substantive reason. Otherwise, people will think you're a moron.

McConnell, the USSC, and the Election - Why Fight Now?
Any of you right wingers want to venture a guess as to why McConnell is saying NOW that there will be no hearings and no vote on a USSC nominee?
He certainly has it in his power to prevent a nominee from being confirmed. So why doesn't he wait for Obama to nominate someone and THEN stonewall? Why pick the fight NOW before there is even a nominee?
Any theories?

Hillary and CHIP
1451 PM: Christians [Quote] -- 9:15am -- Wed, Feb 24, 16 pst
Christians are Good
Anybody who thinks Hillary is fighting for them and not herself is delusional or shockingly naive.
Tell that to the families whose children now have health insurance thanks to Hillary.
Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Oct. 6, 2007: The children’s health program wouldn’t be in existence today if we didn’t have Hillary pushing for it from the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue. http://www.factcheck.org/2008/03/giving-hillary-credit-for-schip/

In that same story, The AP’s Beth Fouhy concluded, "While Kennedy is widely viewed as the driving force behind the program, by all accounts the former first lady’s pressure was crucial." She quoted Nick Littlefield, who had been a senior health adviser to Kennedy, as saying, "we relied on her, worked with her and she was pivotal in encouraging the White House to do it."
The AP’s assessment is backed up by others we consulted. Adam Clymer, former chief Washington correspondent for the New York Times, covered the legislative maneuvering and also wrote about it in a 1999 book, "Edward M. Kennedy: A Biography." Clymer wrote that Kennedy "worked with" Hillary Clinton to get White House support for a Senate measure to grant $24 billion for the new program, rather than the $16 billion approved by the House. "With strong administration support, the $24 billion stayed in," he wrote. Then, when the bill finally passed, Kennedy "credited the President, the First Lady, [Senate Democratic Leader Tom] Daschle, Marian Wright Edelman, head of the Children’s Defense Fun, and Hatch. …"
Reagan and Fantasy
''One of his favorite stories, one that he told over and over again to different audiences, concerned a pilot in World War II who told his crew to bail out of their crippled B-17 bomber. When the tail gunner said he could not move because he was badly wounded, the pilot replied, ''Never mind son, we'll ride it down together.'' When he told the story to a meeting of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society he added that the pilot was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously. In fact, no medal was ever awarded for such an incident and the story came, almost word for word, from the script of a movie starring Dana Andrews called ''Wing and a Prayer.''''

More on Diaries and Hillary
Applejack: ''So prove Reagan put self-serving entries into his diary.''
No one claimed he put self-serving entries in his diary.
BTW --- check this out. It's purportedly based on entries in Hillary's Diary.
Hillary knew that there really was a vast right wing conspiracy because on the eve of the impeachment vote, Scaife called her and boasted of the way he'd paid witnesses to lie about her and President Clinton. And ticked off for her a list of the many millions he'd spent fabricating the smear; and the names of those he'd paid.
She turned to God and asked that Scaife and all those who were out to destroy her and her marriage be forgiven.
You believe that; right, Applejack? This proves she's a good Christian; right?

Reagan's Diary v Hillary's Diary
Applejack: So rather than read his mind, you're relying instead on what his ghost writer claims was in Reagan's diary.
And there is no chance that Reagan put self-serving entries in his diary, eh?
BTW --- would you like to see some things that someone claimed are in HILLARY's diary?
You'll believe that's what she really thought; right? *S*
Trump? A New Reagan?
What prompted my wife was this.
I wondered out loud -- what it will look like if Trump is the nominee, and republican leaders have to appear on the Sunday talk shows in Aug, Sept, and Oct, and pretend they really think he's the best choice for our nation.
She responded, ''Well, reminds me of Reagan. They did then!''

Changing the Laws on Hillary
Weed: That's like you getting a speeding ticket in the mail for doing 40 in a 30mph.
''Officer, the speed limit was 40 last year when I drove through your town.''
''Yes, but since then, we changed the law. NOW you're guilty.''

Bernie and the NRA
Last summer the WPOST did an article on how Bernie got elected to the House in the first place after losing SIX state-wide races.
How many of you knew Bernie had been defeated SIX TIMES in a row before he FINALLY got elected to Congress?
Guess what changed his luck?
What changed it for Bernie was when he teamed up with the NRA.

NRA BACKS BERNIE
____________________________________
CaG: Bernie lost SIX state-wide races in VT; and finally turned his luck around when he teamed up with the NRA.
Now he tries to distance himself from the sugar daddy that put him in office.
Is that what you mean by ''personal integrity''? <HR>If you prefer not to say, we will not be surprised.

Bring in Some New Chains!
Imagine you're watching the Super Bowl. They're slogging it out.
Then, one of the teams inserts a female quarterback.
The refs stop the game in bring in a new set of chains -- when the female QB is on the field, it takes 25 yards to get a first down.
You'd scratch your head in bewilderment.
It's what they do to Hillary.

Rubio? Cruz? Discredited Smears?
Dudley No, I didn't want you to say Trump.
I wanted you to be honest and tell us which you were supporting.
I was thinking maybe I'd pepper you with questions about his truthfulness, character, record, etc...... You know --- give you a dose of your own medicine - difference being, I won't rely on discredited smears about Cruz and Rubio the way you rely on discredited smears of Hillary.
________________________________
Here's why Dudley won't answer my question.
The fact is he DOESN'T CARE that his candidates are not honest.
By answering my question honestly, he comes over looking like a goofus -- ''No I don't care about Cruz's lying.''
If he lies and tells us he DOES care about Cruz's lying, then we'll ask him why he's attacking Hillary for imagined lies while trying to divert attention from Cruz's REAL lies.
Either way -- Dudley loses, and he knows it.
So --- he won't give us a straight answer.

Matthews, Hillary, Vegas, Unions, and Back Rooms
In the wrap up following Hillary's decisive victory in NV, Chris Matthews spent a good amount of time talking about the fact that voters in the NV caucus can't hide what they're up to. It's all out in the open. You walk over and huddle with Bernie's people or with Hillary's people EVERYONE can see which way you're going. It's all right there out in the open.
But when he told us that, he was still hopeful Bernie might pull out a win; and then Matthews could brag -- ''This is the way politics should be.Open and above board. They're FEELING THE BERN!''
But --- what happened? Hillary slam-dunked it in Vegas and when it was all over, Matthews couldn't help himself.
Suddenly. Remember those open rooms where everyone could see what everyone else was doing?
Fuck that shit. Matthews said Hillary won because of back room deals.
And now CaG is repeating that right win mantra.

Bernie's Super PAC Problem
Does Bernie enjoy super PAC support? You bet your ass he does.
_______________
"As a matter of pure uncontested fact, there has been more super PAC money spent thus far in express support of the Sanders campaign than for either one of his Democratic rivals. Let that sink in. That includes, by the way, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records."
