    Man you're a piece of work.

    I wish they would prosecute them all. The national defense should be the paramount concern for those involved in the Executive Branch.

    Again, my simple point is that Hillary is the one we know misbehaves...AND....AND....AND... is perhaps in line for the highest office in the land. Rice is not up for election to the Presidency. I don't know who you will get to investigate it though..the FBI seems down with the event and the lies that surrounded it. This really shouldn't be a partisan issue at all.

    We know that Trump misbehaves too. AND....AND....AND...is perhaps in line for the highest office in the land.

    It doesn't matter. If what Hillary did was wrong then what Rice did was wrong. And any accountability you should so desire for Hillary should be exacted at least tenfold on Rice. She was National Security advisor when she ignored 9/11 intel. And yet, I've been checking past posts, I don't see you on here ranting about how Bush should not be re-elected based upon this massive failure in his administration. And, in fact, Bush was re-elected and where did he place Ms. Rice? Did he fire her for her incompetence? Nope. He made her Secretary of State.

    So what does that say about Bush? And what about those who voted for him the second time around?

    Well, again, if the FBI was to prosecute Hillary for the email thing they'd have to prosecute Colin Powell for his e-mail thing. And Karl Rove for his e-mail thing. If they were to prosecute her for the Beneghazi thing well, then, they'd have to go after Condy Rice for the 9/11 thing.

    Just how many times do you see this pattern before it starts to sink into your head that it isn't a conservative versus liberal issue. It isn't a democratic versus republican issue. It's a Washington elite versus regular people issue. The change needed goes far beyond the presidential election. We need a representative legislature. We need to abolish the electoral college. We need to be able to have a say in how our government runs and how our politicians behave. And those changes require a lot more than simply not electing a specific candidate for President.

    Trump's outlandish proposals are enough evidence that he will be bad unless he's lying about his true stances or Congress can stop him from ruining the country. I cannot possibly understand how anyone can support a man who has insulted veterans, people with disabilities, women in a sexist manner, and a Latino judge based on his ethnicity all while refusing to apologize. But, since you're a white man who has never served in the military, I guess it doesn't bother you. Fortunately, there are many other white men who can empathize with others.

    Trump has never been in public office, but he's running on his record as a businessman; and, we know what happened there. His businesses have gone bankrupt four times. There are other more successful billionaires who have publicly said they will not support him. Fifty GOP national security experts have said that he will be dangerous as president.

    WOW, i haven't been called a racist in a bit, thanks. You support a candidate that encourages a group that was founded on the premise of killing black (and white) babies. Murderer?

    These two broke down candidates are an aberration. I support Trump because I know Hillary to be bad, and doubt there will be much restraint. Trump on the other hand doesn't even have support of his own party, his ability to get things done will be severely restricted. It should none the less mean more conservative judicial nominee's....something I very much desire.

    You know, if you're going to try to represent other people's positions, it's probably best if you at least stay in the ballpark of what they actually said, rather than just make crap up and pretend that's what they meant.

    No one called you a racist. The implication is that you can't empathize with others. By the way, I am pro-life. I don't know what Donald Trump is. He used to be pro-choice.

    And what does it mean to stand down?

    I think you're actually upset that I disagree with your position and I'm willing to say so. I find it common (and a little funny) for leftist to sling mud when they are challenged. If you go back to my first post in this thread it's about what a sorry choice we have in this election...I don't find Trump to be a great candidate, and I didn't vote for him in the primary. Still, I find his election, in the given environment much preferable to the stated goals and policies of your candidate.

    Make some more insinuations, you can always backpedal and say you didn't later.. you're clever like that, no? Maybe Neuhaus will chime in and accuse me of helping to plan the Tet Offensive.

    End of the day...Hillary still stinks worse than Trump. :)

    You just have poor reading comprehension. The only way you could think that post was calling you a racist is if you agree that Trump's words were racist and you support them. Did Trump attack a Latino judge because of his ethnicity? Yes. Do you not have a problem with it? It may be so. It doesn't matter because you're still willing to vote for him. If you think that's calling you a racist, then so be it.

    I didn't represent anyone's position. I did not walk into a room and say "Rebel100 said this..." Why would I parrot back to him what he said? I'm offering a conclusion based upon what he said. I'm not offering a retelling of a prior conversation. I'm engaged in an ongoing conversation.

    He's made it clear that he doesn't feel it matters that Condoleeza Rice did the exact same sort of thing that Hillary Clinton is accused of but to a grander scale. Apparently death and mayhem only matters if the person involved is running for office. Otherwise we're totally cool with it.

    Actually, on re-reading it...I think you owe me an apology.

    For what? For telling the truth? It's funny how I pointed out that you are not a woman and you never served in the military, but you focused on the race part. The lady doth protest too much.

    You got me dialed in...and over the internet even. Trump is still a better choice than Hillary (just makes you shake your head don't it?). :)
