Tue Mar 29, 2016, 11:27 AM

Based on that premise since it is what you are promoting, I suppose you will now publicly post that

1. David Brock is an admitted liar and should not have any credibility
2. Hillary has publicly lied, and should not have any credibilty
3. Hillary was for TPP before she was tepidly against it, so you will admit she is a proponent of TPP.
4. Hillary lobbied for the Crime bill and Welfare Reform Act. So she is anti-POC
5. Hillary was very much pro-DOMA and only pro gay marriage as of 2013 - so you will now admit she is anti-LGBT.

You obviously think it is because this is all you do. I wouldn't believe anything you extrapolate and twist. There's a word for that, hmmm.

Explain how Bush is exactly like Gore. Ralph Nader told us that in 2000.

or

2. You were right and believe all those things I listed.

That was Nader's platform as a 3rd party candidate. Vote for Nader because the other two are the same. If she believed that, it's no wonder she is hinting at Trump being a viable alternative to a REAL Democrat.

Explain how Gore and Bush are the same.

That's why this phony "revolution" talk is so meaningless. You can make up whatever you want about it and then call people "liars" if they don't conform to your imagination.

But Nader said they were Tweedledee and Tweedledumb, and Nader is an honorable man.
