We run into an operationalization of terms problem but I would wager ... DemocratSinceBirth May 2017 #18

Yeah, let me hold my breath for a pack of liars. WTF?? 58Sunliner May 2017 #5

Lots of straw men in your post that I did not allude to. So I won't waste my breath 58Sunliner May 2017 #49

Just who do you think is going to pull his security clearance? still_one May 2017 #52

I did not distort anything. JK already violated laws. He should not have a security clearance. 58Sunliner May 2017 #58

That sounds better... DemocratSinceBirth May 2017 #10

This ain't how it normally works though zipplewrath May 2017 #27

Not true. He said we need a full investigation. What's wrong with that? n/t pnwmom May 2017 #6

+1, someone posted about the Russian word for crickets ... I'm thinking applies to a lot of the bash uponit7771 May 2017 #15

This! mcar May 2017 #19

It also is a failure to recognize that the Democrats do not have the majority in Congress, still_one May 2017 #23

He thinks there needs to be an investigation BEFORE the clearance is pulled, why is that odd?!!?!?1? uponit7771 May 2017 #14

What's really odd is CB not asking for a suspension of a security clearance from someone 58Sunliner May 2017 #59

There's usually investigations before the penalty right !? What am I missing here?! tia uponit7771 May 2017 #62

That's not what he said. George II May 2017 #47

One of many reasons I don't trust Booker. InAbLuEsTaTe May 2017 #56

What makes you think he isn't? I just see the same-old, same-old. pnwmom May 2017 #7

That is the motivation by some for sure, and they are also distorting what Booker said. Booker said still_one May 2017 #9

Booker has been. There's nothing wrong with him saying pnwmom May 2017 #12

Pretty low bar zipplewrath May 2017 #28

By his Senate voting record, Booker is just as liberal/progressive as either of them. pnwmom May 2017 #30

Relative progressiveness zipplewrath May 2017 #35

And that's the only way to measure it -- not by measuring mythical Americans pnwmom May 2017 #36

I don't share your feelings towards Cory Booker. He's far too close to Wall Street for my liking. GBizzle May 2017 #17

Stop with Jill Stein bullshit already. "Hillary lost because she was a Wall Street-friendly still_one May 2017 #20

Easy. No need for hostility. I voted for Hillary Clinton, not Jill Stein. GBizzle May 2017 #21

"remember what happened last time we ran a Wall Street-friendly presidential nominee" still_one May 2017 #22

That's a stretch. I see you've stopped making up quotes out of thin air. GBizzle May 2017 #26

Anything can be blamed zipplewrath May 2017 #29

No, loyalties don't take any precedence AFTER you leave the party. pnwmom May 2017 #44

Sure, and there's a tooth fairy too. TheBlackAdder May 2017 #50
