I don't think anyone believes that but, if you feel it vindicates your cynicism, by all means, continue to dismiss us with absurd statements like that.

Enough with the "liar, liar" already.

It is the equivalent of the lies spread by Trump. Maybe not with the same maliciousness but a falsehood nonetheless.

Also this is a discussion forum and I try not to take things personally, especially since I don't know anyone here personally except for Marc whom I met briefly three years or so ago for a BT purchase. At times I lose it a bit and get very sarcastic, but seldom get into name calling or outright insults. If people misread me or if I offend anyone, I do apologize.

I hope you can understand that I was opposed to Hillary even before she declared herself, see nothing in her that makes her electable and this was also before Bernie's movement. And as such I am still committed to his movement, had invested heavily in his primary election and now that's over. I don't pout and cry, simply move forward.

As to whether Hillary cheated, only Debbie Schultz can answer that and believe me, before long the truth will come out. As they say, there are no secrets in Washington.

Edit: And Ice, before you or Bob ask me for proof you will need to answer first why Debbie WS was banished from the convention.

I witnessed Obama telling his first boldfaced lie during the convention when he said Hillary is the only person qualified to be POTUS.

Out of 320 million people, Hillary is the only one qualified. Bullshit Mr. President. Bullshit.

The only one of the two candidates. Trump is barely qualified to be a target on an artillery range by comparison.
Yes, there are better choices but they are the ones we now have.

I think the President said the MOST Qualified Person in History. He is still entitled to state an opinion either way in this country. Trumps not sworn in yet!

She was the second best in 2008, so of course she is the best now.

Democracy comes from the Greek words for people and power.

However some organization is required.

She was probably more qualified than Obama in 08.
Thinking it over based on experience and exposure, she might be the most qualified since Eusenhower, GB1 excepted. Nixon, like TR was a mixed bag.

Yes..

The only reason to vote for her because she is not Trump? Fuckin' A that is good enough for me. I don't give a rat's ass about what the PC Bernie Bro council thinks about Hillary or me!


FORWARD!
