50. The Blocked & the Blockheads
Wed Feb 17, 2016, 02:10 PM
Feb 2016

I'm new to the site, so I don't know the history of this blocking war. But I have read enough dishonest and misleading headlines from the front page and elsewhere to know that Saint Bernard's online supporters are completely adverse to facts and figures and are quick to shout down any & all criticism.

As far as being 'intolerant of Democrats?' This is par for the course. They take their own activity and name-calling and direct it towards Hillary supporters. It's actually reminiscent of GOP strategy, 101: repeat the Big Lie frequently enough and the peeps will believe it.

Until they don't.

HILLARY 2016
"I am not a one issue candidate . . ."
