You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
well at least he beats out king ed
ReplyDeleteI have deleted two comments taking exception to my calling Spang a sex offender. That is what he is. A groper may not be the worst thing in the world, but is a sex offender. He has a right to run and I have a right to warn people about him.
ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of thing that divides us. While an occasional bad egg gets by the party on the right it seems the left just doesn't mind bad behavior. Just as Obama draws an invisible it seems the party does too.
ReplyDeleteAm I wrong here Bernie?
He is not someone to be proud of and any position where people go out of their way to vote for a person, it used to be we cared more and would not reward such people.
This once again speaks volumns and for those of us who could not relate it is divisive.
Now it's winning at any cost. Kids, woman, drug users, liars, you name it.
This also splits the party on the left but not enough.
He is someone who should not be supported for any position.
ReplyDelete8:15 Is this really a proxy for the entire Democratic party? "Occasional bad eggs" get by everywhere. Whenever I see "Obama" connected with a generalization, my bs meter pegs. I'd sooner agree with a topic-relative comment related to Clinton, but I wouldn't agree it proves the point either.
ReplyDeleteI lean Democrat usually, but that wouldn't mean a person with this resume would stand a snowball's chance in he!! of getting my vote. I don't see it as a "divisive" issue, but maybe some of those who vote party line would. I don't see the point of voting a label, because that is what lets bad eggs in.
"it seems the left just doesn't mind bad behavior. Just as Obama draws an invisible"
ReplyDeleteBaggers, get a life! I guess we should all just follow your drug sniffers and prostitute buyers.. Sorry, right wing behavior is just fine.
Mr. Wide stance
Spanggy likes and should be considered for the 69 position
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for him several times. Bill Clinton showed us that personal behavior has no bearing on job performance.
ReplyDeleteAllentown Democrat
'Baggers get a life"Anon 11;38? Do you know why the conservatives have taken this term? In case you don't know, it is because of the TEA trade monopoly and taxes that it became perhaps ,the catalyst, 'the beginnings' of the revolution against the King. This was about 3 years before the signing of our Declaration. Early patriots here signed this document,at risk that their heads would be cut off if found.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally; Bernie is right. Let's say this man get nominated , This certainly would be used on TV in ads and then become adverse to legitimate hard working straight forward folks that are registered Democrats. Sex offenders have been and will be again ,unless SHOT BETWEEN HIS privates with .45 by a would be victim. Sorry I'm trying to be polite .
ReplyDeleteA teabbager by any other name is still a teabagger, hotshot. Try to keep up!
ReplyDeleteTeabaggers is not accusatory. They wear the label proudly. Compare them to your 99% which you obviously are and it's no wonder they are proud.
ReplyDeleteEver see an area when either group has occupied it? Ever look at the cost to police or clean up after either.
Yes we are the proud ones and many are your parents or grandparents. Guess u hate them too.....
Yes we are proud of your label. And you are proud of your hate.....
C'mon Bern he was JUST trying to change the channel on the TV.

ReplyDeleteRepublican miscreants exist. The idea that sexual predators and social misfits exist in one party is the very nature of lack of brains the teagaggers proudly display for all to read.
