Should Eric Swalwell drop out of the California gubernatorial race? [View all] DemocratSinceBirth Saturday OP

Absolutely not. This stinks of repuke rat fuckery, imo. Phone numbers can be pretty easily spoofed. SheltieLover Saturday #1

What do you mean by rat fuckery and spoofed phone numbers? WhiskeyGrinder Saturday #4

So the republicans planted operatives on Swallwell's staff for *six* years? Fiendish Thingy Saturday #29

It ain't just attacks from our right that we need to worry about nowadays... W_HAMILTON Saturday #104

Why would Republicans want to do that? Boo1 Saturday #61

He'll still be on the ballot and likely mchill Saturday #83

No Boo1 Saturday #88

I don't want to be part of the knee jerk reactors.... FarPoint Saturday #68

Yes, I agree! SheltieLover Saturday #85

He had a solid shot at winning the nomination. If the GOP was going to fuck him over, why now? Jedi Guy Saturday #90

They knew they couldn't beat him, hence the rat fuckery to remove him SheltieLover Saturday #99

I think you might have missed my point. Jedi Guy Saturday #108

Wouldn't the Republicans wait until AFTER the primary to drop this? tinrobot Saturday #91

We cannot be the party that speaks out against Trump's harassment claims while turning a blind eye to Swalwell's. LonePirate Saturday #11

This message was self-deleted by its author PeaceWave Saturday #13

That's bullshit. Due process has nothing to do with it and it is not being thrown out the window. LonePirate Saturday #18

Due process is still a legal term as you already tried to use EdmondDantes_ Saturday #19

There is no due process in politics. mr715 Saturday #37

Part of me agrees but...... vapor2 Saturday #80

Absolutely correct! Phone numbers can be easily spoofed. SheltieLover Saturday #28

Yep, we've seen this movie so many times PatSeg Saturday #52

And their dear leader is an adjudicated rapist, so repukes should stfu imo SheltieLover Saturday #54

You keep saying phone numbers can be spoofed Lifeafter70 Saturday #114

If doing the right thing is akin to falling into a trap for you, then we have different morals and viewpoints. LonePirate Saturday #49

Of course I don't believe doing what's right is immoral PatSeg Saturday #51

but you will admit that people that DO possess morals - might have difficulty stopdiggin Saturday #103

They'll still tank Democratic candidates 0rganism Saturday #69

hell yes...the sooner the better Fresh_Start Saturday #20

Swalwell rso Saturday #21

It certainly suggests that people who know him well RandomNumbers Saturday #32

His own comment in his statement that his wrongdoing is between him and his wife answers it for me. Scrivener7 Saturday #84

Under investigation... True Dough Saturday #25

And this is how Dems should be holding their ground: True Dough Saturday #27

Ms. Luna should clean up her own house first & impeach the adjudicated rapist. SheltieLover Saturday #33

They'd need a True Dough Saturday #34

Yup. But they have no right to point fingers imo. Smells like rat fuckery. SheltieLover Saturday #35

How many times have you used that term in the last day? Just letting you know I'm tired of reading it pattyloutwo Saturday #87

You are more than welcome to put me on ignore. SheltieLover Saturday #89

Then stop reading her posts MustLoveBeagles Saturday #95

No. I think the better option is to call out the objectionable and/or obnoxious. stopdiggin Saturday #106

I didn't find Sheltelover's posts either of those things MustLoveBeagles Saturday #111

I heard they were dick photos MichMan Saturday #63

Do you wanna see Tony Gonzales's dick pics too? LeftInTX Saturday #65

imho, the heavy drinking is enough to disqualify him. mopinko Saturday #43
