messagemode1 posted:Well he answered the wrong question. He thought he was answering "would you have done the same thing as W with the same info" and not the actual question. His answer even implies he misunderstood it that way with the comment about how Hillary would've done the same with the intelligence at the time. I hope some PAC just runs a commercial of the question being asked and him answering it. Play the gently caress out of it around veterans day as well.

A tooth fell out of Ben Carson's head today and he delivered his speech sans front tooth. Is this the end for him? Can america trust a medicine man who does not know his own dentition?

Why the gently caress would she say anything before she has to. To be honest I'm amazed the republicans candidates are answering questions as well since they're all so bad at it but they at least they have the excuse of needing to clobber at least 20 other morons to win.

Weltlich posted:My point is not that Hillary is more or less conservative than anyone - but rather she is possibly the most self serving candidate running, and certainly the most self serving democrat running. I guarantee you, now and to the end of time, no one will ever give a poo poo about this, or furniture, or even, jesus, Whitewater. She's put out a list of policies that are well within the Democratic circles she runs in that are beneficial to a lot of people that need it, versus unleashing the Republican Kraken that would happen with a Cruz, Rubio, Jeb presidency.

I guess we are talking about this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_House_FBI_files_controversy quote:The matter was investigated by the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the Whitewater Independent Counsel. In 1998, Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr exonerated President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton of any involvement in the matter. In 2000 Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report on Filegate, stating that there was no credible evidence of any criminal activity by any individual in the matter and no credible evidence that senior White House figures or the First Lady had requested the files or had acted improperly or testified improperly regarding Livingstone's hiring. A separate lawsuit on the matter brought by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, lingered on for years and was dismissed by a federal judge in 2010.

The Republicans are idiots to be sure for making noise about Benghazi, but there is real harm in the fact that while Sec. of State, she blatantly disregarded IT policy and used a private email system. She's accessed the FBI files of her political rivals on the sly. When she left the white house as First Lady, she had government owned furniture moved to her personal home in NY, just because she liked it. And most folks by now have forgotten about White Water.

John Bolton is a lunatic. I really hope he brings out the foreign policy fire and brimstone. I bet if he just went on TV and howled for the blood of the innocent (just like the good ol' days!) he could probably get his poll number up enough to see him in a debate. It looks like they're also going to be unable to lock Rand out, which is incredible. God, I can't believe that I'm looking forward to the Republican Primary debates.

I don't even understand why "Hillary is so self-serving!!!" is supposed to be a mark against her. She's a politician; they're self-serving basically by definition. Besides, what do people think is going to happen, that she's going to win the presidency by being "self-serving" and then say, "Welp, made it to the top, I'm out guys"?

So the Pentagon responded to Ted Cruz's begging the question re: Federal takeover of Texas With FEMA death camps in Abandoned Walmarts. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/7251254 Choice quote: Perhaps, then, you would prefer not an official proclamation but a reasoned answer. As a master debater in college (Princeton, right?), you surely appreciate the reliability of logic, your public statements over the past few years notwithstanding. If you are disinclined to take the United States Armed Forces at their word when we promise no ill intentions towards Texas, then perhaps your considerable and vaunted intellectual powers, which once posited the regrowth of hymens as a guard against unauthorized incursions in domestic affairs, could be swayed by incontrovertible fact. You can tell he had a lot of fun writing this.

Weltlich posted:Allow me to flip the question: for what reason do you put faith in her to do anything beneficial? 1. Pushed for universal health care before almost any other serious national figure did, even if she failed at getting it at the time. 2. Numerous SecState successes, including the death of Bin Laden, pushing State to adopt a transnational multi-stakeholder model of their work, supporting engagement with Iran, and from the folks I know who worked with her she also was instrumental in supporting making State a more supportive and happier place to work. 3. Consistent lifetime support for women's empowerment in America and abroad. I don't think she's going to be a transformative figure - she's pretty much a part of the current US system and not likely to do anything dramatic. But her entire career makes me comfortable thinking she's going to incrementally advance a foreign and domestic agenda that will make the US better.

Anyone who read even one line of that and didn't realize it was a satire piece should probably take a break from the thread for a while. The utter insanity the GOP is laying down has made you think everyone else is equally insane, and that's no healthy way to live

Man, Jeb's running his campaign like a clown show. I think Hillary can beat Jeb easily in the general, but I think Rubio could beat her if he can get the nomination. Jeb has the personality of a wet shoe, but Rubio is actually a pretty decent speaker. I think he sounds somewhat insincere, but he doesn't give off the used-car-salesman vibe that Cruz gives off in spades. He also has an interesting personal story, and he seems like he's willing to at least say he's gonna do something on immigration reform. He also seems like he's savvy enough to not get mired too much in the culture war. I really thought Jeb would be campaigning better than this. There was only like a handful of weeks where "I'm not my brother!" was credible, but then after his adviser info, his family raising money for him as surrogates, and his Iraq war comments he's just playing right into it.
