  3. I don't think Bernie is becoming petty, but I do think the race is personal for him, because he actually gives a shit about the truth and the direction this country is heading in. A lot of people want him to shut up and play by the "rules", but he isn't having any of it and I couldn't be happier with him. Some people could give two shits about the truth, so long as they're getting their sex, money, and esteem. They're about to be sorely inconvenienced by those of us who are dedicated to a higher ideal than our own personal self-interests.

    I'm for real. Do you really condone corruption?

    and Trump is lily white?
     
  5. No, but the state media hasn't personally endorsed Trump for president either. That goes a long way for me.

    Bill Clinton was a womanizer? So was JFK....but don't tell me all of these women were minding their own business, and the President climbed through their windows and sexually assaulted all of them without their permission......nah...none of them wanted to be with the President of the US...couldn't be.
     
  7. No, Bill Clinton was a rapist. There's a slight difference.

    Monica wanted to be with the president of the US. But then, she was half his age, and he lied about it, and the Clinton machine smeared her for it.

    Honestly would you people give up trying to get me to support Hillary and Bill Clinton??? They're HORRIBLE MONSTERS.

    I am not trying to get you to do anything, but stop trying to force Trump down my throat by default, too....'


    Well, if bernie gets in, we can be friends again.... :D
     
  9. I would never try to shove Trump down anyone's throat. Honestly I don't think about Trump that much. I think about Bernie all the time. It's kind of sick.

    There is some evidence that farmerdon is Yogi and El Tuna, but not enough yet for a conviction.

    "Hillary isn't being investigated by the FBI!"

    What world are these people living in.

    [SIZE=14pt]Closed Primaries in Kentucky and Oregon should favor a Clinton sweep[/SIZE]

    After losing West Virginia last week to Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton will try to get back on the winning side of things Tuesday as Kentucky and Oregon are set to vote in presidential primaries.

    The most recent polls show she could have a shot at taking both states.

    There's a dearth of recent polling in Kentucky, but Clinton has ramped-up efforts in the state, It's a closed primary, which keeps out independent voters who have largely favored Sanders. The most recent poll found Clinton led Sanders by five percentage points, 43 percent to 38 percent.

    Recent polling in Oregon, and the results are projecting good news for the Clinton camp. Polling carried out by DHM Research between May 6 and May 9 found Clinton led by 15 percentage points, 48 percent to 33 percent. The Oregon primary is closed.

    I'd be mildly surprised if Clinton won Oregon. Just because of my observations. Here in this state we don't have voting booths. Everyone is required to mail an absentee ballot.

    I sent mine in with votes for just three people----Sanders, Merkley and Defazio. I left the rest of the ballot empty because I'm not involved with local politics at all. l guess it will count
    even though most of it is empty of votes.

    Dirty job, but someone has to do it, if history is any indication.

    The behavior of Sanders supporters at the Nevada convention has been completely unacceptable. Bernie made the situation worse with his so-called condemnation that implied their reactions were understandable under the circumstances. Reality check: When you get fewer votes, things don't go your way at the convention. I hope everybody who made threats of violence goes to jail.

    My understanding of the situation was that Sanders delegates were playing by the rules that everyone agreed to and flipped the state to Sanders. Then HRC people decided that they would change the rules to benefit their candidate, didn't allow everyone to vote on the rule change and then the chairwoman basically said "Tough shit. My ruling is final. Deal with it."

    I'm in no way condoning any type of violence but I can understand people being upset by the continual, blatant cheating (or at least the perception of) that seems to be happening in state after state on the part of party leaders to ensure their already decided outcome. The party simply does not care what about half of it's members think and their behavior will probably cost them the election in November.

    I don't think they care what ANY of their members think. We're all essentially being told, if you don't want a fascist Republican dictator running the country, you have to do whatever we say, and act like you like it.
