9. I wouldn't have gone the route of imprisonment for speaking bad about President Obama
View profile
But I definitely would have brought out the illegal activities that the republican Party has committed in the guise of "political discourse," and painstakingly explained to the kiddies how such actions which are criminal in any other context cannot just apply to one party. That would have been an excellent time for such discourse.

Since you are no longer an esteemed lurking guest, perhaps you would like to explain your post here.
Student asks teacher a question. Teacher makes complete jackass out of herself in response. You would have instead taken that opportunity to indoctrinate the students with your view of the world as formulated from the fine opinions of the clinically insane at MSNBC.
Dude, Steve lost. Deal with it and just move on with your life. Mmmmkay?

Illegal activities you say?
You mean things like illegally accessing a candidates financial records?
Looking into the local and country records of a businessman because he disagrees with a politician on a handshake line?
Or maybe criminal activity like using a rent controlled apartment as a campaign office?
Maybe...oh yeah maybe you're talking about a senator that introduced legislation to route $25 billion in taxpayer money to a government agency that had just awarded her husband’s real estate firm a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms.
You never addressed these issues when you were here Ban...remember when you stated:
Lurking's for pansies... time to get some real discussion going

I remember when that went down. The local TV station showed the surveillance video in it's entirety. But the city is so screwed up they picked him up from jail and then reelected him. So glad I moved away from there.
But according to him "the bitch set me up". ::)

I've always liked the "set me up" argument, regardless of who uses it.
It implies that the people who were 'set up' are so weak willed, that they can't avoid voluntarily performing an embarrassing and/or criminal act if the opportunity to do so presents itself.

Lots of convictions there for no-name Dems that are criminally, and traitorously fixing elections.

Ban is either a mole or the one of the most insane people on the planet.
