Senators CLAIM Their Votes On Key Issues Are "CLASSIFIED"

[Kelvin Mace]

107. Where did I say

Republicans are not responsible for their actions? Please point that sentence out to me.

By your logic should we not convict criminals but just blame the police for not stopping them?
That's cowardice you don't want to fight the ones who are committing offenses but sit back and moan that others aren't stopping them.

Uh, no. I expect criminals to be criminals. I expect the law enforcement to arrest them and the judicial system to punish them. This in no way means I am not allowed to criticize either group for abusing its power, or colluding with criminals to make deals which advance their careers. (See Whitey Bulger)

As for the rabid dog analogy, that's patently ridiculous. We put down rabid dogs surely you aren't suggesting violence against fellow Americans.

You are really going out of your way to twist my analogy. I expect people to live up to their nature, that was my point, nothing else. I do not advocate violence against anyone.The rabid dog comparison is apt in that you cannot reason with a rabid dog. Anyone who tries is a fool.

In free societies we don't dehumanize fellow citizens and we don't pretend that they are excused from bad behavior and that its someone else's fault for not stopping them

Really? What "free society" do you live in? I can flip on Fox News at any moment of the day and see it done 24x7.

It IS the fault of the people we supported and voted for when they REFUSE to stop the illegal and destructive behavior of the very groups and people they were elected to stop. A policeman that my taxes hire is subject to my criticism when he fails to do the job he was hired to do. The DA who cuts deals rather than prosecutes criminals, or who selectively prosecutes some crimes while ignoring others is also a LEGITIMATE target for censure.

Maybe you agree with the whole teabag nonsense of racial supremacy, or maybe you agree with other aspects of their agenda. Don't know don't care. But when you seek to blame others for wingnut actions in a public forum decent folks will call you out. That's American free speech in action.

Oh, so now you are insinuating that I am a racist teabagger? How very mature. I have been around this site far longer than you and have a long track record establishing my liberal bona fides. I don't have to defend my liberal cred to a clueless newbie.

By the way when was the last time you voted dem?

Not that it is any of your freakin' business, but I have voted Dem in every election since Carter in 1980 when I was first eligible to vote. I did vote for a Republican superior court judge once, but that was back in the day when there were actually sane Republicans and her Dem opponent was being investigated judicial misconduct.
