Disagree. Let me elaborate. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #10

I find it intelligent to recognize the NRA has no good ideas. boston bean Feb 2016 #12

I find it the most unintelligent form of politics to declare opposition to an unknown quantity. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #16

Maybe if you like the NRA. Do you? boston bean Feb 2016 #18

Nope. I disagree with them on most things. I just prefer a more intelligent politics. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #26

Rec. nt LexVegas Feb 2016 #15

What were Bernies pro NRA votes again? What were Hillary's? boston bean Feb 2016 #22

The guy with a D minus rating from the NRA? Let's look at his history, shall we? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #24

The guy who voted for the most important legislation for the gun lobby. boston bean Feb 2016 #31

The guy who stood up to the NRA repeatedly and got an F grade 5 years in a row because of it? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #33

Who voted five times against the brady bill. boston bean Feb 2016 #41

Who still stood up to the NRA. Repeatedly. And faced a backlash when they backed his opponents. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #42

Sure she would. Those millions she took from them won't affect her decisions at all. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #47

You want to point to an instance of quid pro quo? boston bean Feb 2016 #55

That doesn't usually happen until after they're elected. Are you new to politics? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #57

So, its just this campaign we should ever discuss. boston bean Feb 2016 #60

Are you new to politics? Money buys influence. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #62

Re-read post #57 and figure out which part you got wrong, then get back to me. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #68

I understood it perfectly. You got nothing. No proof. boston bean Feb 2016 #69

Keep trying, you'll get it eventually. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #70

I'm barely making an effort. You have no proof of any quid pro quo. boston bean Feb 2016 #71

Wow, you are a novice. You probably believe lobbyists are voluteers. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #72

I'm someone who requires proof for allegations. boston bean Feb 2016 #74

You need proof that money buys influence? Google: lobbyists. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #76

I need proof that hillary provided quid pro quo to someone boston bean Feb 2016 #77

Well then you should go ask someone else because I never made that claim. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #78

I'm confident I made my point. boston bean Feb 2016 #79

Not really but if you want to think you did go for it. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #80

Seriously, google lobbyists, it's quite eye opening. You'll see why we oppose money in politics. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #82

Seriously provide some prrof Hillary has given quid pro quo boston bean Feb 2016 #83

Let's see proof that I made that claim first. I thought I was quite clear in post #57. beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #84

Believe post number 6 starts it off. boston bean Feb 2016 #85

What does that even mean? Post 6 is about an assault weapons ban. See post #24: beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #86

Excuse me. Post 36. boston bean Feb 2016 #87

And? beam me up scottie Feb 2016 #89
