nominee. And that is a good start.

And I agree with what you said and the way you said it.

However, I do not agree that people who call Hillary Clinton corrupt, a liar, a criminal and a war monger (or a conservative) should get a pass. None of those things are true and there is no evidence to support that. I think those kind of lies should be called on the carpet immediately and fully. Those people are participating, willingly or unwitingly, in the swift-boating of the party nominee. Big propagandist lies need to be shut down with the truth.

This guy survived a jury way back in July of last year. The train is leaving. LuvLoogie May 2016 #9

They've PPRed now, though. Nt moriah May 2016 #11

The admins did that. The jury let him slide. It's been like that this whole past year-- LuvLoogie May 2016 #13

I've never believed in "eye for an eye", though. moriah May 2016 #14

That's not too idealistic. lovemydog May 2016 #18
