Nov 2015

My only lament is that as I strive to be like him, I cannot go back and vote for Reagan now. I'm also having difficulty regretting my vote for Obama which Manny so bravely expresses.

You don't act like front runners. Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #1

In the event that Hillary wins the nomination, LibDemAlways Nov 2015 #27

More threats, my god. How is this tolerated here? randys1 Nov 2015 #54

WE WANT DIFFERENT DEMOCRAT. It's still primary season, no? Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #63

Not what he said, he THREATENED about Hillary POST primary, and you know it randys1 Nov 2015 #67

Seriously? indigoth Nov 2015 #74

This is a wasste of time, it is like refusing to admit it is light outside in the middle of the day randys1 Nov 2015 #75

Like Bernie has to earn every vote and give people a ream to vote for him.. JackInGreen Nov 2015 #90

Not the point, point is not the Hillary voters demanding X or Y to show up and vote randys1 Nov 2015 #99

X or Y = positive reasons to vote for her AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #112

Thanks! You get it. In no way was my comment intended to be LibDemAlways Nov 2015 #140

YOU SAID "YOU BETTER", THAT'S A THREAT!!! Babel_17 Nov 2015 #148

Pshhhh... stop confusing the issue with the facts! Bubzer Nov 2015 #116

He asked for 'Positive reasons to vote for Hillary" AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #110

Because seeking 'positive reasons to vote for her' is beyond the pale!! AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #107

He threatened NOTHING davidpdx Nov 2015 #179

Jesus Christ this is amazing, of course he did, randys1 Nov 2015 #185

Repeating the same thing over and over again says nothing for your intelligence. davidpdx Nov 2015 #186

Karl is a genius randys1 Nov 2015 #187

You're screwing up the coronation with all this 'primary' talk AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #105

When a call for 'positive reasons to vote for her' are seen as a negative attack AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #103

I can list my reasons for intending to vote for Bernie in the primary, LibDemAlways Nov 2015 #142

It's too bad we aren't in Denmark where a bit more socialism might help us more now! ;) cascadiance Nov 2015 #156

It's too bad the PM of Denmark said they're not a socialist country. nt Hekate Nov 2015 #159

Since they are more socialist than we are, I guess that makes us closer to fascism! cascadiance Nov 2015 #160

Oh please Hekate Nov 2015 #162
