Highlight:

Zimmerman's acquittal tonight is the result of Democrats not showing up in 2010! [View all] Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 OP

The law used in the defense was passed in 1974, and signed into law by a Democrat (Reubin Askew). nt X_Digger Jul 2013 #2

don't be facts to the discussion... Niceguy1 Jul 2013 #5

So busy being a smart ass that you ignore the larger, more important point. Never mind. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #14

I'm working damned hard to turn TX blue, but I don't use incorrect "facts" to make my case. X_Digger Jul 2013 #17

Still don't know what you're talking about. Can you explain? Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #29

No law written since 2010 was invoked in this case. X_Digger Jul 2013 #35

The gun laws in Florida protected Zimmerman from being culpable. Those laws were strengthen when we Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #48

What was fact-free about my OP? Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #15

The entire premise Hydra Jul 2013 #62

I'm referring to Democrats running at the state and local levels. You're going to punish them, too? Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #16

I don't want to punish anyone MannyGoldstein Jul 2013 #23

O.K., and I do, too. But that happens at the grassroots (read: local) level, no? Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #34

I feel kinda like you're blaming the victim MannyGoldstein Jul 2013 #43

So find a progressive Democrat that you like at the local level and vote for that Democrat. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #46

Kennedy, Warren, and Markey are my elected representatives MannyGoldstein Jul 2013 #49

Good, then. We're in agreement. Did we have to go through all of that just to come to the same Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #52

It's not Nader's fault. This is serious! Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #26

No, Stand Your Ground was not used in Zimmerman's defense BainsBane Jul 2013 #7

You don't read well. I clearly state that SYG was not used in this case. Please reread the post Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #18

What gun law since 2010 can you link this to? BainsBane Jul 2013 #20

Surely you know and understand that ALEC, with the NRA, drafted these extreme gun laws at the Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #24

I wasn't attacking anyone! I was actually responding to those attacking me and being rude, just Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #36

asking you for evidence is not being rude BainsBane Jul 2013 #38

Evidence for what? Your post is obtuse. I don't know what you're talking about! Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #44

And then they get angry when we have the gutting of voting rights, reproductive rights laws, Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #22

no what I get angry about is when democrats push Race to the Top and my son's liberal_at_heart Jul 2013 #42

So what does that mean? Does that mean that you won't vote for Democrats at the local/state level Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #45

I will vote for liberals who fight the control the 1% has over this country. liberal_at_heart Jul 2013 #53

Actually, we are in agreement. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #54

yeah, okay. Whatever. Your OP and post #22 really make that clear. liberal_at_heart Jul 2013 #57

Don't know what a hobbyhorse is. And I don't know what you're talking about. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #37

It's the politicians' fault. I will not vote for democrats who support corporations, who liberal_at_heart Jul 2013 #13

I'm not asking you too. Hence, the *GOOD* Democrats emphasis in my OP. I support progressive Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #21

O.K., but the larger point of my post shouldn't be up for dispute, no? Don't we want MORE Democrats Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #40

Yes, of course, we want more Ds in the state roll calls aikoaiko Jul 2013 #47

I support gun rights. This is not about responsible gun ownership. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #50

I get the idea things are improving... Spitfire of ATJ Jul 2013 #60

Don't think 2010 factored in. The NRA is somewhat responsible for the murder of many Americans. SleeplessinSoCal Jul 2013 #61
