(26,877 posts)Are you tacitly in favor of these?
I voted for the Big Dog 2x.
I voted for Hillary as my Senator 2x.
But I refuse to just say they did everything right... because they did not.

(26,877 posts)Is it because my asshole quotient has risen? No, it's because I've become more disgusted by the US Government's actions - and flabbergasted by those WHOM I VOTED FOR's inability to stop this crazy train.

(10,479 posts)me on ignore. But none of us can go back 50 years (except me) and try to change things. Even then it wasn't easy. I try to stand by what I believe unless something happens to educate me otherwise. None of us are perfect and that goes for government. However I can truthfully say there has not been any Republicans since Eisenhower who had the sense of a slug.

(12,448 posts)they can't see what I write about them and I'm free to expose their idiocy to those that either agree or the many, many more that simply lurk and make their own judgements based on content, rather than gang affiliation.
No longer do I have to read "The President is just so dreamy.", "You're a racist!", "Would you rather have Rmoney?", "Listen to my radio show.", ad infinitum.
I can go right into their threads and call out their foolishness without their ever being the wiser.

Your implying I am "tacitly in favor of these" is simply ignorant.
Have a nice life, you want to be put on ignore you got it.
PS
as is ALWAYS the case, the clowns try to get the last word. In the end, long after your hating ass is gone from here, I'll still be voting Democratic and defending ALL Democrats from the tools of the Right.
Cooley Hurd
(26,877 posts)Well, your OP implies strongly that if you criticize either Bill or Hillary, you are a "hater", which also implies that you cannot handle criticism of either.
As far as "ignore" goes... are you THAT insecure of your beliefs that you cannot handle ANY criticism of your belief structure, so you must put those who challenge it on "ignore"?
Wow. You are SO not suited for internet discussion.
For the record, I have no one on "ignore" since I have no insecurities regarding my ability to discuss issues with others.
How sad for YOU. Enjoy your stay, friend. You will be talking to yourself before too long.
(Too bad you put me on ignore, because I just made an ass of you).

Tata Consultancy Services or TCS, an Indian corporation, bills itself as "the world leading information technology consulting services, and business process outsourcing organization." In 2003 Mrs. Clinton pulled out all the stops to bring Tata to Buffalo where it has created a grand total of 10 jobs. Tata's website boasts that the deal was the "brainchild of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY)." In fact, Mrs. Clinton took great pride in having lured an outsourcing company to Buffalo. (see http://www.tcs.com/... and http://www.tcs.com/...)
"When I learned of Tata Consultancy Services' intentions to expand its company, I thought immediately of Buffalo and dedicated myself to showing the company all that the region had to offer, " Senator Clinton said. "TCS could have located anywhere in the country. I am proud but not surprised that they chose Buffalo."

Hillary clears outsourcing air
Hillary Clinton made it apparent where she stood on outsourcing during her India visit, in an attempt perhaps to clear the Indian misgivings received during the Kerry campaign. "There is no way to legislate against reality. Outsourcing will continue," she told an audience of Indian big-wigs. She pointed out that there were 3 billion people who feel left behind and are trying to attack the modern world in the hope of turning the clock back on globalization. "It is not far-fetched to imagine ... if the Indian miracle would be the one of choice of those who feel left behind," said Hillary.
Hillary has been at the forefront in defending free trade and outsourcing. During the height of the anti-outsourcing backlash in the US last year, she faced considerable flak for defending Indian software giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) for opening a center in Buffalo, New York. "We are not against all outsourcing; we are not in favor of putting up fences," Hillary said firmly, despite inevitably invoking the ire of the anti-free trade brigade.

At the fundraiser hosted by Dr Rajwant Singh at his Potomac, Maryland, home, and which raised nearly $50,000 for her re-election campaign, Clinton began by joking that, 'I can certainly run for the Senate seat in Punjab and win easily,' after being introduced by Singh as the Senator not only from New York but also Punjab.

(1,489 posts)Death of Kevin FlanaganFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search Kevin Flanagan was a computer programmer who worked for The Bank of America in Concord, California, USA and committed suicide by gunshot in the parking lot of the business.
Background[edit]Flanagan shot himself to death in the parking lot of Bank of America's Concord Technology Center after he and colleagues were laid off in April 2003.The lay-offs were due to the company's plan to replace many IT employees with foreign Indian H1B workers at lower pay. The company had informed the laid-off employees they would be required to train their replacements for the remainder of their tenure.[1]
The Concord bank office has been the site of multiple protests over work practices.[2] In 2008 this site was put up for sale by BofA.[3]

"America's Wages are now on Parity Globally so this is an Excellent time for Manufacturing Surge in the USA due to "Private/Public Partnerships" where Private get a Tax Break to bring home their Tax Dodges abroad and can get at least a 6% investment for Private/Public Partnerships." He said...in return we will "REVISE OUR TAX CODE."

(39,191 posts)I know the RNC is already trying to start fires under the white male population of the South to incite their hatred for this strong woman, but you re doing a heck of a job right here.
Thanks for the heads up on Hillary, I'd never know how bad she was for America. Maybe we should vote for Christie in 2016??

(1,489 posts)seems to be your MO
a very cowardly attack, on your part
and in fairness to the Clintons, I dont think they would endorse such a lightweight tactic
DainBramaged
(39,191 posts)I think your motives are suspect. I don't have to dispute shit from Shinola, all I have to do is note your abject hatred for the Clintons, and I did a fine fine job of that.
How did you know what my MMO is in such a very short stay here? You have NO idea who I am, or as a matter of fact, you probably do do what's do do for you you.
Have a nice life.
markiv
(1,489 posts)i think it's pretty clear from what you wrote
and my objections to teh Clinton's record is pretty clear, I noticed you didnt dispute the facts or relevance of ANY of it
DainBramaged
(39,191 posts)I don't have to dispute shit, period. This thread is perfect for folks like yourselves to let us know what wonderful Progressives you are because you profess abject hatred of Bill and Hilary. And since yo let the Cristy question slide, I think I know where you're coming from anyway.
You stated you hate the Clintons, fine with me pal.
Now run along and spew more in another thread, I've got shit to do and it's not playing with you.
Buh Bye.
PS no edits, no checking with my friends, just words for you to decipher.

(1,489 posts)all I put forth, is the Clinton's record, which I dont think much of
and again, I point out that you still cant argue the facts or relevance of any of it - you just try to fling unsupported inuendo

(1,489 posts)made so by this ambitious couple - that's your definition of 'bile'
and there are too many on this site who are far more concerned about the image of their 'idols', than the overall health of the citizens they supposedly 'represent'
Kevin Falanagan, the computer programmer who became despondent after being forced to train his indian H-1b replacement, in the program that Clinton massively expanded, is just an 'unperson' to you
you are offended that i dare mention this 'unperson' because it's not good for the image of your idol, that, in your book, is a 'hater'
Unperson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the George Orwell book Nineteen Eighty-Four, an Unperson is someone who has been vaporized. Vaporization is when a person is murdered by being turned into vapors. Not only has an unperson been killed; they have also been erased from society, the present, the universe, and existence. Such a person would be taken out of books, photographs, and articles so that no trace of them is found in the present anywhere no record of them would be found. The point of this was that such a person would be gone from all citizens' memories, even friends and family. There is no Newspeak word for what happened to unpeople, therefore it is thoughtcrime to say an unperson's name or think of unpeople

Egalitarian Thug
(12,448 posts)I went from near- zealot, and was "honored" by Bill and his campaign for my efforts on his behalf in GA during the '92 campaign, to seriously considering voting for Dole in '96 (I didn't, just couldn't make that leap no matter how bad he was).
He's a backstabbing, lying POS (IOW, a politician), and the only problem I have with his blowjob is Monica's appalling lack of taste. He's the enabling link between 41 and shrub.
Without "the big dog", shrub would have been limited to tax cuts and pretending to support abortion bans. Try to keep that in mind while you're down there on your knees.

Not EVERYTHING they did - together or separately - has been totally good. Some will remember the not so good, and dislike them for it.

(62,420 posts)due to policy. It is an American right.
Obama has much to criticize as does Bill Clinton. Hillary doesn't seem too far policy-wise from those two.
This certainly does not mean I am a Republican by any means.
