Comment on Almost enough to turn me republican by permacarn

lol, You said it. The last thing we need is a Clinton dynasty. But the Clintons have been so protective of their daughter, I’ve yet to see any footage of her stump speach. Speaking of allergic reactions, I just wrote a post about Clinton supporters being allergic to Obama candy bars. Check it out over at permacar.wordpress.com

Comment on Operation Chaos Won Hillary Clinton Indiana by loomisnews

Clinton rules say we have to let the reactionary racists, turncoats, and “Operation Chaos” Republicans tell the Democrats whom to nominate for prez.

Mebbe the supradupradelegates will pick Jeb Bush to run as a Democrat — a real Bush beats an semi-Bush every time.

We Are Clin-Ton. Resistance Is Futile.

I personally don’t see any problem with the government regulating discrimination. Hello civil rights act? Do you honestly think the any southern states would have outlawed discrimination without it?
Similarly, bills like this are necessary to standardize anti-genetic discrimination across the states.
If it’s a moral issue of equality it’s a moral issue of equality for the whole country, not just select states.

I believe that Ron Paul’s decision to vote against this bill is because he believes that this should be something not regulated by the Federal Government but rather should be decided on by individual states.

Less Federal control, more state sovereignty.

This has been misinterpreted by the media who would have us believe mistakenly that he does not believe genetic discrimination is an issue. He simply won’t vote for a bill that gives the FG more power.

Thanks for the post– your blog is pretty sweet; I’m just starting mine up with random political commentary and Hillary venting. I just made a short entry about Operation Chaos if you’re interested!
Thanks!

If Pennsylvania is Pittsburgh & Philly with Alabama in between, Indiana is Pennsylvania without any cities.

Plus far more “Operation Chaos” Republicans (the few groups da Billary can still count on for support).

If the Dems allow da Billary to steal this nomination, they deserve to lose the White House, the Senate, and the House — and they probably will get that trifecta.

Comment on HillRaiser Raises Some Hillary Hell by WanDa

As a Puerto Rican, raised in NYC’s Spanish Harlem, now a medical professional, who has followed this race very closely, I can only applaud Mr. Mondragon’s decision, as it is the correct thing to do.
Yes, it would be nice to have a woman president, but Sen. Clinton is NOT that woman.
She does not represent me at all. Perhaps some other time and some other woman.
If Mrs. Clinton is so willing to be dishonest publicly, what in the world, will she do when out of the public eye?!

Comment on Hillary’s “Highlights” from the Compassion Forum by anon

I wish I could believe her. I really do. I feel like she has absolutely no problem telling lies… a constant liar needs improvement, to say the least. But, I don’t trust any of the politicians, either…especially the prominent ones. Usually there is some sort of price to pay for getting to the top of that pedestal…and it’s usually a great humbling experience when you’re knocked off.

This may be Mrs. Clinton’s humbling experience…

How was he making fun of her in a sexist way?

I wasn’t claiming she made the experience up. But it’s a bit dubious that the story has just now shined into the spotlight as evidence of her ‘extreme passion for protecting the 2nd amendment rights of those oh-so-optimistic PA citizens’ despite that she is not an avid hunter or shooter.

I think you are splitting hairs. He was making fun of her in a sexist way. But nevermind. If you read her book Living History she recounts going on hunting trips with her father and brother. These were admittedly many years ago. But she isn’t making it up. Her father took the family often to PA where he was from and they went hunting.
