Justify this:

…its not surprising that you would obsess over the former group.

What is your definition of “obsess”, and how do you believe I fit into it? I focus on what is being done to propagandize our news, and you call me obsessed. Isn’t that just a bit “silly”, or something more ominous?
You demonize me in an attempt to win your argument. Not cricket, really.

the main characteristic of an idealist is to ignore facts in favor of an ideal vision of reality, like this:

I don’t recall seeing an outbreak of such articles…I actually don’t recall seeing any such articles in the mainstream media

and these were your words…now stop being silly.

Cliiiiiinton did not commit a similar crime.

Technically, you’re right; his crime was much more serious. He, according to feminist rules, committed sexual harrassment(powerful man, powerless younger woman, and he did more than solicit her; he had actual sex with her(despite his lies).

Cliiiiiiiiiiiiiintttoonn lied under oath. Was impeached and disbarred.
He didn’t lose his job, and his disbarment was delayed until he left office. He also suborned perjury by telling Monica to lie, as well. Even though he never paid for it, he also accepted foreign money for his campaigns, also a crime. The bagman served time for it, but not the recipient.
The gops spent over 100 million of our tax dollars to catch him lying about sex.
And a host of other crimes, which resulted in 17 convictions, so you lie by omission.
Thanks gop, well done. Bravo.We deserve thanks for going after the scumbag.

Stop trying to re write history, r108.
Bill and Hillary are already on that job.

I haven’t watch TEEVEE in days so I don’t know whether or not this newest gop cut and runner has denied or acknowledge or even made any statement on TEEVEE about what he is alleged to have done.

This guy appears to have committed numerous sex crimes with teenagers. His sudden cut and run makes him look even more guilty. The stories of gop leadership knowing about the e-mails and doing nothing for months implicates them as well.

Only in your partisan mind. More “preliminary reports”.

Do you think sex crimes should be prosecuted?

Yes, without exception for being a
smarmy Dem President.

By Jove, I do believe the gop is coming unhinged.

It’s the Dems who are acting like a cornered animal these days.

Rob…the Democrats aren’t pure either. I rag on the Republicans here because they are in power and thus are responsible for American policy. I’m also disheartened by their alliance with fundamentalist Christian goups although it appears to me that those ties are loosening. I don’t care much for the sanctimonious invocation of “moral superiority” which is common to Republicans and their supporters…Democrats do it too which just goes to show that hypcricy is not a partisan trait.

I’m old enough now to recognise that electoral politics is usually a game played under very cynical conditions. This is not to say that there aren’t good people trying to make a difference in politics, people from a variety of backgrounds and offering a variety of prescriptions, but politics, in the end, are politics. Any party in power for too long becomes complacent and self-gratifying and needs to be turfed.

I can’t stick around this afternoon but I wanted you to know that I appreciated your response…you’ve got facts, some humour, you’re in control and you twist the knife just enough to draw a response without going over the top. I look forward to butting heads another time.

If he was a Dem he’d still be around with the rest of the party circling the wagons.
