I guess I need to use my time wisely! ThinkCritically Jun 2016 #2

ThinkCritically, please rethink. Our elected Hortensis Jun 2016 #18

Trust me, at the end of her campaign you still won't really know where she stands on anything. -nt- NorthCarolina Jun 2016 #104

HRC has a long liberal record, which is WHY the RW hates her so. Look it up... Hekate Jun 2016 #129

The First Amendment has NOTHING to do with this place, do you understand the First Amendment? SFnomad Jun 2016 #8

Do you? Would you even care if they were taken away? nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #13

Clearly you don't know what your 1A rights are ... you might want to look it up or have someone SFnomad Jun 2016 #15

Free speech certainly won't apply here and you are just fine with that. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #25

If this website censors what you can say, your 1A "Freedom of Speech" rights have NOT been violated SFnomad Jun 2016 #29

I never said it did. Enjoy your censorship. I will be using my First Amendment rights elsewhere. n Live and Learn Jun 2016 #47

Comprehension, much? nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #52

Clearly my comprehension skills are better than yours n/t SFnomad Jun 2016 #55

In your mind, I am sure they are. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #58

And in reality as well ... you should really quit before you embarrass yourself any more n/t SFnomad Jun 2016 #60

Pretty obvious your unable to feel it. Reality apparently differs for us. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #68

You can have your own opinions, but not your own facts ... SFnomad Jun 2016 #71

Why not? You sure do. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #72

You got that right. I think I hooked a couple. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #70

DU is privately owned and operated. Do you think the Admins (ie the owners) are RW authoritarians? Hekate Jun 2016 #137

So, you know nothing about the First Amendment. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #17

You got nothing. I don't do lock step. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #23

Nor do you do facts. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #36

Ridiculous. You are the one that doesn't understand. Someday you may. nt Live and Learn Jun 2016 #51

It's a privately owned website, not a newspaper. Sorry Charlie. Hekate Jun 2016 #138

Still censorship. I never said it violated MY first Amendment rights, now did I? Live and Learn Jun 2016 #169

The Third Way began recruiting them long ago with the DLC and the Clintons as founders. Live and Learn Jun 2016 #10

Not by praising George W Bush. Bernie courted them based on the same issues he was promoting to think Jun 2016 #11

So you think Bernie was going to win the Republican votes by not praising them? wyldwolf Jun 2016 #118

Bernie wasn't sucking up to Bush who condoned torture & went to war on lies like Hillary is doing. think Jun 2016 #120

So you think Bernie was going to win the Republican votes by not praising them? wyldwolf Jun 2016 #126

Hillary can praise war pigs who tortured all she wants. Bernie won't stoop to that level think Jun 2016 #132

Fortunately for us, we'll never find out. wyldwolf Jun 2016 #133

Did George W Bush condone torture? Did he send us to war based on lies? Do you think he deserves think Jun 2016 #135

We'll never have to find out how many people Bernie Sanders would scare and run off from the party wyldwolf Jun 2016 #136

Deflect much? think Jun 2016 #140

Lose much? wyldwolf Jun 2016 #141

And you deflect again. Way to double down... think Jun 2016 #142

And you'll lose next time, too wyldwolf Jun 2016 #143

Can't give an honest answer so you must toss out taunts. Got ya.... think Jun 2016 #145

can't win an election so you must toss out rhetorical questions. Got ya... wyldwolf Jun 2016 #147

If the questions are rhetorical then I assume you believe Bush did condone torture, lied us into war think Jun 2016 #148

the questions are rhetorical and are only being asked because Bernie lost and lost badly wyldwolf Jun 2016 #149

Hillary heaped praise on Bush the GOP war pig who tortured. But Hillary supported torture back then think Jun 2016 #150

Bernie couldn't win an election because he was incompetent ... wyldwolf Jun 2016 #151

Alright, wolf. Direct question for you. chwaliszewski Jun 2016 #166

Irrelevant wyldwolf Jun 2016 #179

God forbid she should try to broaden her base and win the election. comradebillyboy Jun 2016 #7

Hillary should do it by promoting the Democratic issues not by praising the likes of George W Bush. think Jun 2016 #22
