Republican Party, Teabag Party and the Libertarian Party absolutely SUCK!

[Exterminator]

I guess when I say good candidates, I am comparing them to what the democrats have to offer..........from that perspective, they (the republicans) ALL seem very good.   

That's your perspective and, again, it is based on nothing of any substance.

[Exterminator]

I could supply you guys with a ton of hard cord facts...

You can't even spell hard core facts, let alone supply any.

[Locutus]

....they get 30 seconds to respond to, usually,  a loaded question.

Well the Republicans can't really expect their buddies at Fox News to moderate all the debates. 

[Exterminator]

I still haven't heard a word from anybody about how PEACHY it is to just have Hillary to pick from.....aren't you the slightest amount offended by this?  Because you should be.

I'm not and why, exactly, should I be?

[AbbyTC]

I get your point...I think that is what I don't like about most of these debates........they get 30 seconds to respond to, usually,  a loaded question. 

Can you give some examples of the loaded questions from last night's debate?  Since you said "usually, a loaded question", I'm guessing you have many examples to give me.

How about dumbass questions like.... "if playing daily fantasy sports is gambling" to Jeb Bush?  Really?  Or  'Is this a comic book version of a presidential campaign?

Actually, Bush was asked whether the federal government should have a role in regulating that industry.  That, to me, is a very valid question since that industry has been accused of "insider trading" by employees of services like DraftKings and FanDuel.

Not really a 'dumbass' question if you think about it in the grand scheme of things.

Well if we are talking about the grand scheme of things, it IS a dumbass question...when Iran is wanting to make nuclear bombs, Russia is running ram shot over Syria, ISIS is killing for sport, our economy is growing at a snails pace, immigration issues, racial issues, cops being killed.....and CNBC wants to about fantasy football regulations?  Yeah, in the grand scheme of things....it is very much a dumbass question, especially on a debate format, when these guys have a very limited time to talk about serious issues....

[Locutus]

You know what the one big common characteristic is that I observe from you conservatives, both here and on Facebook?   

[Locutus]

You all sure sound like you're scared shitless about absolutely everything.

Only ONE thing scares me.....and that is the thought of Hillary Clinton taking over for four or more years!!!!!

But, it IS Halloween time.........so, the timing is appropriate!

BINGO! I thought exactly the same thing when I read this story ...

Va. state senator reports alleged threat by father of slain TV reporter

RICHMOND — A state senator from southwest Virginia told police Wednesday that he felt threatened by the father of the Roanoke TV reporter fatally shot during a live broadcast in August.

Late Tuesday, Parker sent this message to Sen. William M. Stanley Jr. (R-Franklin), via Facebook: "I'm going to be your worst nightmare you little bastard."

"I take this very seriously as a threat against the safety of my family," said Stanley, who has received an A rating from the National Rifle Association. He said he contacted Capitol Police and the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, and picked up applications for concealed handgun permits for himself and his wife because of the message.

"We are proud firearms owners, but I never felt the need for a concealed-carry permit until now," Stanley said.

Parker confirmed that he sent the message but said the intended threat was only political.

"I don't own a gun," Parker said. "I have a pellet gun, that's it. . . . If he thinks I'm going to be a threat to him other than a political threat, that is just mind-boggling."

Parker sent Stanley another Facebook message after a Washington Post reporter contacted him about the alleged threat.

"Thank you again for providing me another opportunity to call you out in the press because I 'frightened' you," Parker wrote. "You're the only person I know that would try to turn me into a threatening bad guy. I love it."
