(2,280 posts)but that doesn't make them right-wing conservative. That's just dumb.
I said in my last post, look at the issues. Can you find even one where the GOP is better, or even the same as the Dems? I can't. Maybe there is one, but I can't think of it. Maybe you can help me out.
On the issues you mention, there's a huge difference. Climate change you bring up, that's a big one. Guess what the GOP's policy is there? It's to deny that it exists. Guess what Trump wants? More fossil fuels and less regulations. If you can't tell that Clinton is way better on climate and environment than Trump, I have nothing to say. To me it's obvious. To the NRDC it is also. I guess not to you.
And the idea of Hillary going to prison for having non-classified information on a private email server, when Colin Powell and Condi Rice also had the same kind of non-classified info on private emails, it's just nuts, really. Yeah, I know, it wasn't a private server, but an aol account is just as non-permitted as a private server. Actually, even a state department email account is not supposed to be used for classified info. Did you even know that? Did your lawyer friend not mention it?
Yeah, classified isn't supposed to circulate by email, period. Now you know. As a practical matter, sometimes it does, especially info that's in the grey area or one department thinks its classified but not another, or retroactively classified like the Clinton stuff, but nobody ever goes to prison for that or even loses their job for it or anything. So enjoy your prayers to the email fairy and your false equivalence between the Dems and the GOP.
