No offence meant, you have to tell us why your candidate is more electable than Mr. Sanders.

Let me reiterate, Mr. Sanders is for poor people, he is not for Wall Street, he did not gain monetary rewards for speeches to Wall Street personnel. Please talk me down.

I'm just in favor of people representing me not doing reckless, foolish things and also bringing highprincipleswork May 2016 #1

So I guess you are in favor of the incarceration of Madame Secretary? bravenak May 2016 #2

Sending one criminal to prison... dchill May 2016 #3

Sending a lady who was non compliant to prison is unreal and unnatural bravenak May 2016 #4

Non compliant. dchill May 2016 #11

Only the truth bravenak May 2016 #15

In a pig's eye. dchill May 2016 #22

The truth is omnipresent bravenak May 2016 #23

OK. Go get some, and we'll talk. dchill May 2016 #25

I shall share my truth with all and sundry!!! No more witch tests!!! bravenak May 2016 #27

It's not up to me to judge the final determination, but I've heard enough to know it sounds highprincipleswork May 2016 #5

I am confused, Snowden isn't a woman and Hillary didn't call for witch tests for him, just prison. Live and Learn May 2016 #6

Tsk tsk tsk! My op, my choice of narratives! bravenak May 2016 #8

I wonder if Robert Murdoch will pay her funeral expenses. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #9

Ahhh! Her realm shall pay as she lies in State bravenak May 2016 #14

It's counsel but a great story. I love the ending. So who is wearing the crown now, Bernie or Live and Learn May 2016 #28

My bad. I was excited!! bravenak May 2016 #29

Ugh, I hate that ending. Little Goldman Sachs babies, no. Got any altenative endings? nt Live and Learn May 2016 #31

No, sadly bravenak May 2016 #32

You should have warned me it was a tragedy. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #34

I thought the 'noble burning' was a good clue! bravenak May 2016 #36

I thought the "noble" part made it a comedy. Interesting mix of genres in your story. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #39

I found it to be both funny and sad. I imagined a 'Marianne' type quality, lady liberty and such bravenak May 2016 #43

Yes, quite good except that ending is really too tragic for prime time. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #45

Maybe hbo? Starz!!! bravenak May 2016 #50

LOL Maybe. Give it a try. That remind me, I am behind on Once Upon a Time episodes. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #52

If they're waiting for a DSK moment it isn't going to come. ucrdem May 2016 #7

Which President endorsed three strikes you are out? akbacchus_BC May 2016 #13

Which president? Is she president? Was she? bravenak May 2016 #17

I was only asking a question. Why are you so defensive? akbacchus_BC May 2016 #19

I was asking questions too! bravenak May 2016 #21

You need a time out! We all like whom we like, but my goodness, you seem to akbacchus_BC May 2016 #26

Please remain calm bravenak May 2016 #30

I am calm alright. Am on your side with Mrs. Clinton being the nominee. I have said before that she akbacchus_BC May 2016 #37

Oh, you mean she should get special treatment because she's a woman? Waiting For Everyman May 2016 #16

No. She should be treated as a witch, wear a scarlet letter as Hester did. bravenak May 2016 #18

When you say things like that, it does not support your candidate. akbacchus_BC May 2016 #38

That was called 'sarcasm' bravenak May 2016 #41

Sarcasm is not working when it is crucial. You obviously not into marketing. akbacchus_BC May 2016 #51

You are way off base bravenak May 2016 #60

Please don't sully the names of perfectly decent witches with Clinton's. Thanks. VulgarPoet May 2016 #111

When was Hester a witch? bravenak May 2016 #114

So Hillary should get away with breaking all the laws jfern May 2016 #33

All the laws? My WHAT a BUSY woman! Lor'! bravenak May 2016 #35

I didn't say she broke ALL the laws jfern May 2016 #46

You used exactly the phrase 'all the laws' bravenak May 2016 #48

It was saying that you are arguing that it doesn't matter if she breaks laws jfern May 2016 #53

I am saying it is disgusting to want her in prison bravenak May 2016 #59

So prison is only for the little people? jfern May 2016 #79

Prison should only be for those who commit violent crimes, fraudsters who bilk society bravenak May 2016 #88

oh you forgot to list the laws hillary has "broken". oops nt msongs May 2016 #40

Here are somefrom a while ago jfern May 2016 #44

Mass incarceration. Ms. Toad May 2016 #42

We incarcerate them one at a time. bravenak May 2016 #47

Holy moly, you have now risen to a different level. 'We incarcerate them one at a time'. Guess akbacchus_BC May 2016 #54

What the hell does this have to do with ZIMMERMAN? bravenak May 2016 #58

You are right, it is late here. Good night! akbacchus_BC May 2016 #74

Night! bravenak May 2016 #76

Aren't you the same person who claimed yesterday or the day before Ms. Toad May 2016 #62

I said yesterday he should remain free in Russia bravenak May 2016 #63

The question wasn't what you personally want. Ms. Toad May 2016 #110

Agree, and I've wondered about it myself. lovemydog May 2016 #49

It seems that it would be impossible to reduce the rate of incarceration in this way bravenak May 2016 #56

Wow, I actually agree with you on that. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #68

Uh oh! This is a good thing! bravenak May 2016 #69

Great post and I fully agree. lovemydog May 2016 #77

Hmm, I think the ones that want to jail office holders want to give them a taste of their own Live and Learn May 2016 #73

Yes, true. lovemydog May 2016 #80

They already do that. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #82

In some states. lovemydog May 2016 #91

Great stuff melman May 2016 #55

Wow, that's kinda ass-backwards. Bonobo May 2016 #57

Perhaps Bernie should have voted NAY bravenak May 2016 #61

But then you would have complained that he didn't support women. He did warn what would happen. nt Live and Learn May 2016 #66

That is an excuse bravenak May 2016 #67

Nope. He had a choice support women and vote yes of vote no and lose the chance. Live and Learn May 2016 #70

And Hillary had a hand in that support for the violence against women act. bravenak May 2016 #71

Yeah, maybe. Bonobo May 2016 #72

I do not need more whites imprisoned to make myself feel better bravenak May 2016 #75

I cannot help myself, would you feel better if more blacks were imprisoned? akbacchus_BC May 2016 #81

That is a ridiculous assertion for you to make about a black woman bravenak May 2016 #83

Oh bravenak, you sound like my boss, am expected to live in her head! akbacchus_BC May 2016 #89

Wait, you understand that Hillary is just one person, right? Bonobo May 2016 #78

Not comparable. Just adding to the totals of millions incarcerated bravenak May 2016 #84

Hell, it's not even close to an offense that she should do jail time for. Bonobo May 2016 #95

It was stupid bravenak May 2016 #98

She won't go to prison nor should she, but what she did is stupid. JRLeft May 2016 #64

I can understand that position bravenak May 2016 #65

I've already said I'd vote for her November. JRLeft May 2016 #85

I know. I woulda voted for him over Trump too. bravenak May 2016 #87

My problem with Hillary is her hawkish ways and her never support of JRLeft May 2016 #92

You are confusing me regarding the US support for Israel. Are you for it or not? akbacchus_BC May 2016 #93

I'm for a neutral stance. JRLeft May 2016 #100

I agree with you bravenak May 2016 #102

Hillary cannot be because she takes money from AIPAC. JRLeft May 2016 #103

They like her bravenak May 2016 #104

It owns both parties. My congress women Barbara Lee is neutral. JRLeft May 2016 #109

I know. bravenak May 2016 #94

You have to reconcile with the fact... joshcryer May 2016 #86

It is absolutely mindboggling bravenak May 2016 #90

Eh, I remember this place when "impeachment is off the table" was a brand new phrase Fumesucker May 2016 #106

Oh, I think Clinton was terrible for doing what she did. joshcryer May 2016 #107

I don't buy that Fumesucker May 2016 #108

I haven't seen any evidence of anything prison-worthy, I certainly don't "want" her to go there. Warren DeMontague May 2016 #96

I hate her position on cannibis bravenak May 2016 #97

Maybe, or maybe it's the alcohol, pharma, and private prison lobby money. Warren DeMontague May 2016 #99

Perhaps after the election we will have a change in leadership bravenak May 2016 #101

This progressive is certainly in favor bvf May 2016 #105
