^ Supposedly, it's bigger than that... One story floating around is that an advisor to both Romney and Ryan, a man named Dan Senor - whose wife is/was an exec at NBC, is the one who leaked the tape, as a part of yet another attempt by the GOPe to thwart the Trump campaign from within. Source Source Source I'm not sure what's up, but if it's true it's pretty damming. | |||

GHW Bush is voting for Hillary. GW won't make a public statement saying who to vote for-- just be sure to vote. His daughter is voting for Hillary, and recently attended a fund raiser with Huma. Barbara Bush "adores" Bill Clinton. W calls him a "brother from another mother." Jeb is a Never Trumper, i.e. Hillary supporter. The Bushes and the Clintons are a distinction without a difference. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

OK, are there any new polls yet? Getting tired of hearing of her 11 point lead for the poll taken right after the world-ending-oh-my-poor-ears-think-of-the-children! P-video miraculously appeared but before she got her ass handed to her debate. In MSM time, 36 hours is like 512 years...eventually that pony is gonna give out. BOSS A real life Sisyphus...

I find this whole event suspect. For this whole campaign she has struggled to fill 300-500 person venues. Now, magically a crowd appears for this one? It could be a bump off the trump tape/debate. That may be a part of it, given clinton history, some one check the local news papers, craigslist, facebook comunity blogs for rent a mob ads. That is more along the lines of clinton tactics. | |||

| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
The rules of the Senate required 60 votes for cloture to end debate and bring a bill to a vote. This had resulted in a de facto requirement that a nomination have the support of 60 Senators to pass, rather than a majority of 51. A three-fifths vote is still required to end debates on legislation and Supreme Court nominations. Reid forced through a change to require 51 votes to end a major filibuster. http://www.foxnews.com/politic...ing-filibusters.html So even under the rules, ordinary bills required 60 votes for cloture, as I understood it. Given the moral repugnance of their opposition, the Republicans could scarcely embrace the rule and take advantage of it upon gaining the majority. I guess if you don't care enough to cheat, you don't care enough to win, but I'm not sure I like that tactic better than the moral high ground. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I find those numbers for Clinton a little bogus too. I'd like to see some clarification. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

In my mind, its not cheating when you're simply playing the game by the rules the opposition approved and has used. And although the 'moral high ground' is always preferable, I'll personally resort to any and all options when someone is sitting on top of me beating me to death (a small metaphor for what the Dem's have been doing to this country). I know I shouldn't expect the Repubs to win all the time, but if they can't recognize opportunities, execute as necessary, and win occasionally, then they need to go. For god sake, Obama's been playing checkers with these clowns for the past 4+ years, and the Repub's are mystified by the bow and wrapping paper that came on the box. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

Wow. Downright fucking disgusting. Wow. The next 28 days is going to be a ball buster. Reminds me of Captain Ramius in The Hunt For Red October movie, being chased by both the Russians and Americans in order to sink him. If the above is any indication, there is absolutely no difference between The Democrats and Establishment Republicans. One Single Man, not part of the status quo, has the entire political system and mass media system hunting him down. I sincerely hope that Donald Trump has the best security possible.

Hitlery just did a rally/speech in FL. with AlGore. If there were more than a few hundred people they must have been hiding in the parking lot. Lots of empty seats despite media attempts to hide the low numbers. | |||

Best I could find in a quick Google search. Not what I'd call 'Yooge', especially given it was in Miami, one of the most liberal areas of the state.  ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

I know the rule about psoting email, but this is not a chain email - it came from PresidentialOpenDebate.com, the website that collected the questions used in the last Clinton/Trump debate.

I find it interesting, and a relief, and a good thing in general, that for all our faults as a country and species, and our propensity to resort to violence as we deem necessary - from going to war with entire countries to hunting down and killing specific individuals years after the fact like Bin Laden to Castle Doctrine and other self defense laws aimed at the individual (all of which are reasonable things), and for all the machinations and vitriol from all sides, we (in this stage of civilization in this country) seem to have truly moved past actually assassinating folks who seem particularly threatening or dangerous to one group or another. There is so much at stake in an election like this. The power and influence, the wealth, the furthering or suppression of entire major ideologies and their related groups and movements, the collusion of the media itself, the subversive investments and instigations by wealthy outsiders and insiders, the backstabbing from within each party, etc, it's pretty amazing that it doesn't turn violent more often and that the Bernies and Trumps of the world aren't silenced permanently. I think it's part of why things get so nasty in other ways, a venting of the pressure elsewhere. I am in *no* way advocating assassinating anyone, or even implying it's good, mind you. But I bet there is a meaningful relationship between the lack of assassinations and how dirty the fights/elections are nowadays. It seems those at those levels are thinking: "well, we can't just kill 'em, so let's do whatever we can to destroy them *just* short of that..." By choosing to be more civilized and by choosing law and order over things like assassinations, it seems we've brought other troubles to our doorstep instead. Nasty troubles, too, whose implications and effects aren't yet truly known or understood. Interesting, I thought. I think we're on the right path, of course. I'm glad someone can't just shoot me for being disagreeable, and that (somehow) hardly no one does that anymore | |||
