147. The arrogance on the subject is bizarre.
Wed Jun 29, 2016, 11:44 AM
Jun 2016

It appears that a lot of people need for it to be a non-issue to the extent that they have to attack anyone who doesn't look at it like that. It threatens their highly coveted perspectives of Hillary Clinton, just as Bernie Sanders' campaign did.

She's the Democratic candidate. I don't give a shit about what Republican candidates like Donald Trump have done, with respect to whether they are worthy candidates for an office, because I automatically assume they aren't. It's the candidates that I might vote for that I consider worthy of scrutiny. And if something not so pleasant emerges about the candidate, I lose respect for the candidate if he/she absolutely will not address the subject with a fair degree of candor.

Elliot Spitzer? He was a popular Democrat who paid for the... company of young female prostitutes while he was actually the Attorney General of New York State. I don't care at that point what good things he might have done while in office - he's obviously someone who will violate the trust of the public while in public office, because that's exactly what he did.

And that made me more angry than a Utah anti-gay Republican who trolls for casual gay sex in public restrooms. Because I expect hypocrisy from them. I don't vote for them. They aren't members of my political party.

no one cares! ericson00 Jun 2016 #1
