Then when the next Republican president loads up the SC with even more arch-conservatives for the next 30 years, with the acquiescence of a spineless Democratic Senate, we can all congratulate ourselves for having voted our conscience and advanced the noble cause of progressivism.

A lot of my DU friends strongly support HRC, but I cannot accept her past choices. NYC_SKP Jul 2014 #1
She probably did as much research as she did with her IWR vote. HooptieWagon Jul 2014 #2
She can learn, evolve .... FarPoint Jul 2014 #6
Uh, huh... elzenmahn Jul 2014 #8
Just wait until his next term. Then you're going to see liberalism! Ed Suspicious Jul 2014 #23
He's only been President 6 and a half years!!!! morningfog Jul 2014 #60
She already has learned and evolved arikara Jul 2014 #9
Ahem... ReRe Jul 2014 #11
I don't think so. 840high Jul 2014 #24
Well, she has evolved from being dead broke to millionaire by entertaining the corporations. Tierra_y_Libertad Jul 2014 #39
If she's the nominee in 2016, what will you do? George II Jul 2014 #40
Ask me when she's the nominee, for now I'll fight her tooth and nail. nt NYC_SKP Jul 2014 #48
It was an "IF" question, not a "WHEN" question. George II Jul 2014 #52
IF she is the nominee.... NYC_SKP Jul 2014 #58

You are lucky. But that kind of thinking will continue to see the lower classes decline. rhett o rick Jul 2014 #62
I have to say, I'm a bit confused by Ms. Paul's statement customerserviceguy Jul 2014 #4
anti-GMO'ers are the left's climate change deniers. wyldwolf Jul 2014 #15
That's the claim the GMO corporate pimps like to denigrate us with Crowquette Jul 2014 #27
It's a fact, though wyldwolf Jul 2014 #28
Put your faith in Monsanto, Sygenta and their ilk - they control the "science" you swallow Crowquette Jul 2014 #38
Show me proof they control WHO.. wyldwolf Jul 2014 #41
why would anyone give your opinion on this any weight when you don't even know the cali Jul 2014 #118

EXCITING NEW PRESS RELEASE - "Republication of the Séralini study: Science speaks for itself" proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #54
It was retracted last year because it was fatally flawed wyldwolf Jul 2014 #57
Dr Arpad Pusztai endorses GMWATCH.org so I follow & trust their vetting by virtue of his life story. proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #67
Climate change deniers cling to a very small amount ... wyldwolf Jul 2014 #69
No parallel, no MSM support anywhere. Imagine witnessing this whirlwind as a scientist or living it. proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #74
There's no MSM parallel because it isn't hot button issue wyldwolf Jul 2014 #77
monsanto science is anti science wisechoice Jul 2014 #93
WHO, AMA, The Royal Academy of Medicine, European Commission, etc. are not working Monsanto wyldwolf Jul 2014 #95
Platitudes don't cut it though they sell stuff. Nuanced, but demonstrably and irrefutably wrong x5. proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #97
but apparently conspiracy theories based on non-science do cut it here. wyldwolf Jul 2014 #98

It's ALREADY been proven that gmo's are safe. alp227 Jul 2014 #108
and here is another wyldwolf Jul 2014 #114
No, Gung Ho GMOers are the left's Climate Change Deniers.. if you want to bring in Climate Change. Cha Jul 2014 #80
so let me get this straight - make sure I'm understanding you wyldwolf Jul 2014 #82
So? Science says GMO makes frankenfood and is full of Scientific Poison not Good for the Environment Cha Jul 2014 #83
yes, the few "scientists" who use faulty research DO say that wyldwolf Jul 2014 #84
that's because redruddyred Jul 2014 #26
And I favor full labeling customerserviceguy Jul 2014 #116
the activists that claim all the resistance to such is because monsanto has something to hide. redruddyred Jul 2014 #117

Democrats - the pro-science party? wyldwolf Jul 2014 #12
I see your corporate meme, and raise you one from human beings, not corporate citizens Crowquette Jul 2014 #30
Similar to how the Fox News crowd shuts down climate change arguments wyldwolf Jul 2014 #33
That's not true globally. proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #43
It's absolutely true globally wyldwolf Jul 2014 #46
NEW: Study suggests potential association between "soy formula" and seizures in children with autism proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #75
You just made a big leap wyldwolf Jul 2014 #79
Embedded link I included states 90% of US soy is GMO but, of course, actual verification needed. proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #92
"actual verification needed" if those who believed in such woo-hoo would actually live by that. wyldwolf Jul 2014 #96
The problem isn't the GMOs, it's the gradual monopolizing of the food supply. arcane1 Jul 2014 #31
That's a much more sensible approach wyldwolf Jul 2014 #36
Oh, it's both. Where are the long term animal feeding studies demonstrating safety? proverbialwisdom Jul 2014 #45
They probably were done some or even many but when the test data dosn't come out like they wanted nolabels Jul 2014 #70
That's exactly what it should be about. NuclearDem Jul 2014 #72
That'd be my assessment, also. (nt) Inkfreak Jul 2014 #89
Reading your post wants to have me truedelphi Jul 2014 #99
do you have any proof WHO, AAAS, AMA, National Academy of Sciences, Royal Society of Medicine.... wyldwolf Jul 2014 #102
Again, the taint of corporate monies can be smelled truedelphi Jul 2014 #103
Oh, "the taint of corporate monies can be smelled." (snicker) wyldwolf Jul 2014 #104
If USA Corproate-backed science is all that science-ey, then truedelphi Jul 2014 #106
You have proof a us corp. is backing world science, right? wyldwolf Jul 2014 #107
Well, for starters, answer me this: truedelphi Jul 2014 #111
so you avoid the question and instead give more conspiracy speculation and anecdotes. wyldwolf Jul 2014 #113
at this point, what else is there than common sense when people hopemountain Jul 2014 #120
" at this point, what else is there than common sense?" Science wyldwolf Jul 2014 #121
really? are you so naive? hopemountain Jul 2014 #122
Prove it. And then answer - are you a climate change denier, too? wyldwolf Jul 2014 #124

There is NO SCIENTIFIC CONSENSUS on GMO safety Crowquette Jul 2014 #53
Do these scientists have any credibility? alp227 Jul 2014 #109
Yes, indeed. Major credibility. Crowquette Jul 2014 #110
No they don't. Have they ever done research in the relevant field? alp227 Jul 2014 #112
The logic I use to determine if the GMOs are bad for me: nilesobek Jul 2014 #63
