James Comey, Longtime Republican, Tells 'All Who Care' To Vote Democrat In November

Source: Huffington Post

Former FBI director and longtime Republican James Comey has urged Americans to vote for Democrats in November.

“This Republican Congress has proven incapable of fulfilling the Founders’ design that ‘Ambition must … counteract ambition,’” Comey tweeted on Tuesday, quoting The Federalist Papers. “All who believe in this country’s values must vote for Democrats this fall.”

“History has its eyes on us,” he concluded.

You cannot trust this man.

He's all part of "it", whatever "it" turns out to be.

To use the term "Democrat" is for a solitary person. Democrats = plural, more than one.

DEMOCRATIC as is in the Democratic party is the proper term.

He knows it and if he forgot, well he too is no longer just another "stable genius".

The term Democrat is not the proper term to use when referring to a group of people, the Democrats!

It is an insult and Comey knows it.

He can take his forked tongue an 'eff off! You cannot trust him either.

i despise the man for being high and mighty during the election that caused this catastrophe we're having to live through now. But Comey's message to vote Dem is a good thing and i'll take it for what value that can bring. Certainly can't hurt.

10. "Democrat" is correct if used as a noun,

for example, "I am a Democrat".

If used as an adjective, it should be "Democratic".
For example, "I am a member of the Democratic party".

NYC based FBI agents didn't think that way a few years back.

Working for the Feds and voting republican is like asking for a pay cut. Voting for the party that hates government and doesn't believe it works, while you work in the federal govt, or serve active duty in the military, should make you reconsider who's been marketing to you and why did it work. Men?

There's no guarantee enough undecideds will get the message that our union is in jeopardy due to Russian, I mean Republican rule.

If you want to make a difference, Mr. Comey, get the FBI agents who were making a stink in 2016 with Giuliani to come out and show their faces. We want to see all who turned their backs on America, for partisan gain.

SHAME!
