Tue Jul 19, 2016, 10:17 PMStar Member kentuck (75,982 posts)Have the Republicans crossed the line with their charges that Hillary "should be in jail" ?? Is it common in political discourse to accuse your opponent of being a criminal, when there are no outstanding criminal charges? Is this a recent phenomenon? Is this dangerous for a society? Is it slanderous? Is it criminal, in itself, to make such accusations without proof? Of course, politics "ain't beanbag", but it's really not that simple, is it?

Yes indeed, Carl. From the very thread.Nobody on the thread has the slightest glimmer of self awareness.

Lying us into war.But, so many Goppers just seem to have an irrational hatred for Hillary that goes well past politics or policy positions. I have family members that are normally quite calm that go into a cursing red faced tirade just at the sight or mention of Hillarys name.It goes beyond sexism.I think a lot of the Obama hatred was just pure internalized racism.But, with Hillary, it is as if they take everything in their lives they don't like and project it onto her.

We hated Bush and Cheney for what they did to our country and the worldThe republicans have hate in their heart. They have had that hate for Obama for 8 years based on deep rooted racism in this country and they know of no other way after the hate filled propaganda provided by the republican leaders.It just breads more hate and it consumes people.

Yes I hate them *picture of a dead child*This little boy died running from a war caused by ISIS and w & Cheney made ISISw/their Iraqi war. And BTW I helped out a neighbor who has died from brain cancerhe got when in the Army in Iraq.They need to be jail for what they did.
Let me FIFY, kt:In fixing kt's "devastating" post I think I both answered his "questions" and deflated his inordinately high estimation of his intellect and nuance. The latter will reinflate quickly, of course.

Is that deep fried?

It's as recent as DUmmies impotently demanding Bush be "frogmarched" in front of a Dutch court while they pretend to be judge, jury, and executioner in front of their keyboards.
Just like they wanted Karl Rove frogmarched in cuffs 24 business hours ago.(Has it been 24 business hours yet?).
So wasteful.Just use a single question mark, and answer the questions you yourself ask. Here, I will show you how:Are you a complete moron?Yes, you are.See, that is not so hard.CMD
Mon Jul 25, 2016, 07:05 AMStar Member kentuck (76,009 posts)Why are Republicans supporting Donald Trump? Can they really not see that he is a vulgarian? Can they not see that he is a pathological liar? Can they not see the danger and the threat of having him in the Oval Office? With all the choices they were offered, why did they choose Trump?? Were they really that pissed off at the Republican Party? Is it obvious or is it just a matter of perception? Do they truly love America but simply do not realize what they are doing to our country?
Response to kentuck (Original post)Mon Jul 25, 2016, 07:45 AMStar Member phylny (4,026 posts) 6. The Republicans in my family are voting for Trump for several reasons:1) Hillary - Whitewater! 2) Hillary spends a lot of money on her clothes, and yet Ivanka Trump's dress was only $125 and look how much better she looks. 3) Mexicans! 4) I hate socialism. 5) Donald Trump is such a good businessman. 6) Donald Trump will keep terrorists out of our country. I swear, the stupid is dripping off of them. Confession: I'm right now actively not talking to my husband. An Obama supporter, he said he's voting for Trump. I'm f'n flabbergasted. I said, "Why?" He answered, "I don't like Hillary."
Response to kentuck (Original post)Mon Jul 25, 2016, 07:45 AMStar Member phylny (4,026 posts) 6. The Republicans in my family are voting for Trump for several reasons:1) Hillary - Whitewater! The SHREW is possibly one of the MOST corrupt candidate for the Presidency the US has ever seen. Her corruption goes back to the 1980s, at least, and has been unabated ever since.2) Hillary spends a lot of money on her clothes, and yet Ivanka Trump's dress was only $125 and look how much better she looks. The SHREW is a phony - a "woman of the people" who wears articles of clothing whose cost exceed real, normal, people's monthly income.3) Mexicans! Trump recognizes that illegals are a massive drain on the US economy, take entry level jobs that young people would otherwise use as their entree into the working world, and, in some cases, are a severe threat of terrorism.4) I hate socialism. Various implementations of Marxian Socialism have been the most murderous political philosophy of the 20th Century, and the more innocuous forms forced stagnation on many countries' economies. So, what's not to like about Socialism?!5) Donald Trump is such a good businessman. The SHREW has zero experience with the real world of business, and views businesses as infinitely milk-able cash cows.6) Donald Trump will keep terrorists out of our country.Trump recognizes their threat, and would actually try to keep them out; The SHREW would do neither.
