Search up and read I.F Stone's July 27th, 1964 column "Goldwater Rallies an Odd Tribe for a Strange War."

You will not be sorry.

Isn't this election best framed as a Rockerfeller Republican v a Fascist?

There's a link for the lazy.

If you replace "Goldwater" with "Trump" and "Communism" with "Radical Islam" you could swear the article was printed a month ago.

I think that was my favorite bumper sticker during the 2008 campaign. Obama Biden. Hope and change but not really I mean basically there's no way to actually get anything done we won't have a huge majority in both houses so honestly don't get your hopes up and just be happy with whatever meager successes we can accomplish. For America!

So just full on ends justify the means then? Is there any line at all? Sorry I know that's just my childish purity speaking. I'm interested to hear your cynical world wise and not at all simply morally bankrupt and self serving view.

That's hilarious. Trump has pivoted to the Sherman's March to the Sea portion of the campaign.

that was pretty much the obama message wasnt it? sensible, calm, consensus seeking leadership after the recklessly ideological bush years. there's been a bit more of a yolo feel to it lately, but he has never sounded like a radical.

it genuinely makes me angry that some people (voters/politicans/republican officials) think this man should be the most powerful person in the world. it's just unbelievably reckless.

I was going to reply to that tweet but I just couldn't think of anything to write other than "lol". "lol" really covers it all.

I mean after all the aspects of that tweet to lol at... Think about the phrasing "after things calm down" as if once he wins the Presidency, that becomes less hectic and stressful than campaigning.

so with trump's new campaign alliance with alt-right breitbart head, looks like he's pivoting from murky bigotry to pure, unadulterated white nationalism

http://www.motherjones.com/politics/...breitbart-news

It's a wonder the right has so embraced hate speech this election cycle. 8 years of losing to a black guy really made them flip their lids. I do wonder at what point the Republican party can be rightfully branded a hate group, if not already.
08-22-2016 , 09:51 AM
been almost 2 weeks since it was announced there'd be a Melania Trump press conference to cover her illegal immigration to the US.

Still waiting...

How can you type this with a straight face. Prior to the Civil Rights Acts, the entire South was reliably Democratic, and ALWAYS went that way in Presidential elections. Remember, the Republican Party defeated the Confederacy and imposed radical societal and economic change in the South during reconstruction. There was actually a special name for Southern Democrats, Dixiecrats, whose entire reason for being was thwarting Black rights and equality. Senators Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond were life long Democrats who just switched to the Republican party after the Kennedy/Johnson Civil Rights reforms. The poster boys for Southern Racism were all Democrats, from the last two I mentioned, to James Eastland, Bull Conner, George Wallace, and pretty much every White elected official in the old Confederacy.

They started to bolt when the Democratic Party leadership of the Northern and Urban states began taking over the Party on a national level and pushing for new and expanded Civil Rights measures. Entire demographics shifted to the Republican Party and the Democrats haven't been competitive, in national elections, in the South since. I don't view this as inherently evil Republican pandering to racists, so much as political parties usually don't turn huge amounts of voters away, but still, deal in reality.

You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.

I thought we were all agreed to ignore sushy's blatant trolling, but I guess not.
08-22-2016 , 10:31 AM
I agree to nothing! lol, just kidding, I am just bored.

If he lets his VP run the entire country like he offered Kasich, he might be right.

Good lord, a conversation between Sushy and Shuffle?! It's like two AI chatbots having an IM conversation.
08-22-2016 , 10:51 AM
Looks like trump isn't making any progress but not going further behind. When's the debates?

Maybe he assumes he is losing and let it out subconsciously
