Everyone is saying Hillary needs to get tougher and so today she did...and now they are bitching because she got TOO tough....whaddya want?

45972. iiibbb - 8/29/2015 3:05:12 PM

I want her to stop listening to what people say she should do.

45973. arkymalarky - 8/29/2015 3:41:49 PM

And everyone should stop listening to Bill.

Fact Check for Scott Walker

In the 2013 Fiscal Year:

376 Canadians who had a criminal record when they were deported from coming into the country, assuming some of those Canadians crossed the border illegally. (For comparison, 146,298 Mexicans with a criminal record were deported.)

793 Canadians were found to have broken immigration laws (including those above with a criminal record) and deported. By comparison, 314,904 Mexicans were deported.

822 Canadians were arrested for all offenses, compared to 424,978 Mexicans. Or a ratio of 1:517.

Building the Canadian border wall over twice the length of a Mexican one would cost somewhere between $20 to $33 Billion!

And they could still take a plane flight over it rather easily!

And now for something completely different: an excellent editorial by Kareem Abdul Jabbar about Trump...make sure you read the link he provides to Trumps rather junior high schoolish retort! This Is The Difference...

It feels perverse that I love seeing Trump bully and belittle Jeb when I know that, of the Republican candidates, Jeb would probably make the best president. Jeb may recover and gain the nomination but I really believe the guy has been damaged by Trump.

45977. arkymalarky - 9/5/2015 2:34:04 AM

Winston!

I think Jeb is ditw: dead in the water

45978. winstonsmith - 9/5/2015 7:11:28 AM

Hi Arky,! yes, ditw. At the moment anyway.

Here's a question, would it be crazy for Hillary to run with Berie as her veep? I don't think he can deliver a state or anything but he has been careful to not attack her and some people would come out to vote for him.

45979. arkymalarky - 9/5/2015 10:15:30 AM

I love the Bern, but I don't think he'd help the ticket in the general.

45980. arkymalarky - 9/5/2015 10:17:32 AM

I love the Bern, but I don't think he'd help the ticket in the general.

45981. judithathome - 9/5/2015 6:10:07 PM

I doubt he would accept it, anyhow...he can do more good in the Senate, seems to me, that shoved away in the corner of the Veeps office.

Besides, I think it would be a slap in the face to her own party...he is, after all, an Independent.

45982. winstonsmith - 9/6/2015 6:33:52 AM

Yeah, I suppose so. Hopefully he will remain on good terms with Hillary and his supporters won't lose all their enthusiasm.

45983. judithathome - 9/6/2015 9:55:52 PM

One thing I admire about Bernie is that he is not going the Republican route and trashing his opponent...the Republicans resemble The Hunger Games..out for blood and no holds barred.

45984. Ms. No - 9/8/2015 4:45:39 AM

Okay, I feel kind of dumb, but what is the Conservative equivalent of HuffPost or Slate? (Other than Fox news)

And I mean something at least as legitimate, not some TeaParty Birther nonsense.

45985. Ms. No - 9/8/2015 4:46:24 AM

Not that Huffington and Slate don't have substantial liberal bias, but mostly they don't just make shit up.

45986. iiibbb - 9/8/2015 4:43:04 PM

Politico maybe

45987. judithathome - 9/8/2015 5:01:49 PM

Weekly Standard and National Review...

45988. judithathome - 9/8/2015 9:48:15 PM

Well, Arky...I hope you saw this...that asshole Huckabee was front and center in this bullshit: Jerk Who Defied the Supreme Court and Refused Marriages To Couples Even Though She's Had FOUR of Them: FREE AT LAST, FREE AT LAST...Thank God Almighty, I Am Free At Last To Deny Anyone Else the Right I Have Had FOUR TIMES To Marry Whom I Want...

45989. Ms. No - 9/8/2015 11:48:03 PM

Thanks you guys! I felt really bad not having more conservative options on offer when I put together my media resources list for my Gov't class.
