And I trust if they stay involved they will learn. However, I certainly do not want them choosing my presidential candidate. Last cycle they loved Rand Paul. This cycle it's Bernie. Whatever.

Why do you insult so many Bernie supporters by calling them kids who only care about Jackie Wilson Said Mar 2016 #3

And these are the same people who warn those mean nasty Bernie suporters not to turn people off pdsimdars Mar 2016 #9

I am one of those who criticize the nastiness I see from Bernie supporters. Jackie Wilson Said Mar 2016 #14

It can, but both sides don't invade polling places Politicalboi Mar 2016 #32

LOL! MaggieD Mar 2016 #59

Your kid is 23 years old and has no idea how bills get passed? Wherever did you send him to school? cherokeeprogressive Mar 2016 #58

My kid does - but his friends are idiots MaggieD Mar 2016 #61

How are you still posting with seven hides this month alone? cherokeeprogressive Mar 2016 #67

Because you can't alert stalk someone into a suspension any more MaggieD Mar 2016 #68

Wow. Forget the fact that the term "alert stalking" is as subjective as they come... cherokeeprogressive Mar 2016 #70

Well no, that is only done to Hillary supporters MaggieD Mar 2016 #75

Yeah. Artificial sweeteners are safe, there were WMD's in Iraq, and Anna Nicole Smith cherokeeprogressive Mar 2016 #79

It was a great line, wasn't it? nt dflprincess Mar 2016 #150

Love that line, and especially that character. Wow, I am tempted to rewatch that movie this evening. JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #152

Levon Helm. Without him the movie "The Right Stuff" wouldn't have been half as entertaining. cherokeeprogressive Mar 2016 #172

The truth can be brought back to light. oasis Mar 2016 #164

See post #66 for some of MaggieD's "truths" JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #166

Pointing out Bernie's unpopularity with congress folk is fair game. oasis Mar 2016 #167

She said he had no congressional endorsements. JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #168

If a person ran across a symphony concert stage wearing only a g-string, oasis Mar 2016 #169

I would say if the person's description was "completely nude" then it would be inaccurate. JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #173

No more timeouts after 5 hides kdmorris Mar 2016 #112

No, it's because they've realized that things have become polarized SFnomad Mar 2016 #131

Doesn't matter anymore. 5 hide rule is suspended Arazi Mar 2016 #76

Right - and he has never built the coalitions needed either MaggieD Mar 2016 #46

As a cabinet official, he is constrained by the POTUS's agenda. MADem Mar 2016 #60

Hmmm - but who would want to work with him? MaggieD Mar 2016 #66

You are spreading blatant falsehoods in addition to hate now. JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #127

No, I'm really not MaggieD Mar 2016 #138

6 congressman and zero senators MaggieD Mar 2016 #154

My argument is you were lying, and I am glad to see you concur with that assessment. JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #156

Lying about what? His colleagues genuinely dislike him MaggieD Mar 2016 #162

You lied and said he had no congressional endorsements. You lied. Face the facts. JonLeibowitz Mar 2016 #163

He thought he could just plop down and all would come flocking. thartic Mar 2016 #81

It's pretty obvious MaggieD Mar 2016 #86

Did you even read my post? thartic Mar 2016 #99

Okay, pop quiz - what was the difference in their HRC rating? MaggieD Mar 2016 #135

You're such a troll. thartic Mar 2016 #181

So, you don't know the answer - correct? MaggieD Mar 2016 #184

You can think that, but you'd be wrong. He's passed every goal his campaign set in the past month. bobbobbins01 Mar 2016 #64

How do you know if he refuses to report it? MaggieD Mar 2016 #69

Because he sends out email updates... bobbobbins01 Mar 2016 #88
