Wow, I've found quite the endorsement for Trump:quote:“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” I never really saw Donald Trump as America's Hitler before, but now it all makes sense.

EndZog.wordpress.com seems pretty legit as a site for racist idiots. That said, if you're going to post stuff, post a link to it, or a do not link to it as the case may be. Even if they're idiots it's still nice to be able to get the idiocy fresh from the source. http://www.donotlink.com/frfk

Turns out that Bill and Hillary released 12 years worth of tax returns when he was the Democratic presidential candidate in 1992 (going back to 1980), which covers the Whitewater years. Along with the tax returns released during Bill's presidency and the ones released by Hillary during her run in 2008, the Clintons have so far released 26 years of their tax returns. No doubt Hillary will release their returns up to the present if/when she gets the nomination for 2016. So of course Jeb! pulled yet another half-assed, ill-considered political stunt against what in his mind must be a huge Clinton weakness. Unfortunately, like most Republicans, he's got the memory of a goldfish and couldn't possibly remember anything beyond the most recent few years, evidenced by the fact that he endorses the policy decisions and the hires the pack of clowns that hosed up everything in the middle east during the Bush administration.

GalacticAcid posted:John Kasich will announce on July 21st. That will be his role in this cycle. Kasich is running as George W. Bush. "Guys, let's tone down the rhetoric a tiny bit, bomb some browns, call ourselves compassionate, mention that gays are icky, but kinda ignore them instead of calling them fags, and redistribute income 90% upwards instead of 100%." He is the "serious adult in the room." This is where we are as a nation.

If you replace "gays are icky" with "gays are people but don't deserve to be married", sounds like Obama 2008-2014.

Okay, you really are either deeply deeply dumb or actually a leftist. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/10/us/politics/obama-says-same-sex-marriage-should-be-legal.html “At a certain point, I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married,” Mr. Obama said. How did you manage to forget this? Edit: beaten. That's how easily you get debunked.

So with companies like Macy's being petitioned to drop Trump, have there been cases where the opposite has happened? Such as, some company/spokesperson coming out in support of something conservatives hate and pressure put on the company to either change stances or drop the spokesperson?

TDD is a really boring troll. I honestly don't think Jeb has the political chops to win the nomination. His pack of clowns can't win today's electorate. He's going to fail somewhere past Iowa, I think. But hey, I've been wrong before. I was sure Trump wouldn't run, for example.

He's Huckabee without the charm, and worst of all he's a Papist. On that note, how is Rick Perry doing so poorly? He looks presidential, he's experienced, and he's far-right. On paper he seems like he'd be the top candidate. I can't imagine Republican primary voters care much about "oops" or his indictment. Is it just because his support has gone to candidates preferred by the establishment (Walker/Bush/Rubio) and theocrat (Huckabee) wings of the party?
