It is not particularity surprising that opposers of Clinton would jam words into her mouth she Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #5

An important subject, there, Fred. sibelian Sep 2015 #8

What subject? Unattributed and unsubstantiated by any fact imaginings are not a subject. Clinton has to use "she" because she is a she! Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #9

What are you strawman building about? But since the game is on...I would say a Muslim woman, next! Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #18

Your definition of a strawman is interesting. zeemike Sep 2015 #19

Your question is a red herring, with bait. I answered your last red herring...I pass on this one. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #20

Well at least it graduated to a red herring from a strawman. zeemike Sep 2015 #22

Thats usually when that term is tossed out. 7962 Sep 2015 #27

Continue at your most frank and open-handed pace... sibelian Sep 2015 #50

Oh, I thought there would be a link or something. cui bono Sep 2015 #65

This is called thinking for yourself. Try it. Beats inventing "strawmen" over blue links. <G> n/t jtuck004 Sep 2015 #26

Ted Cruz has "thoughts" also. SonderWoman Sep 2015 #29

I suppose thinking must be bad, then. sibelian Sep 2015 #51

Three statements Ichingcarpenter Sep 2015 #28

Holy crap thats a brilliant post! Points out the absurdity of it all. 7962 Sep 2015 #32

One statement is an orange, the other an apple, and the last is some other fruit also not logically comparable. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #38

Oh lord it's going to be a long primary. RandySF Sep 2015 #57
