57. The Republicans esp. Speaker Boehner does NOT want Peace.

the GOP is all about more war, more debt, more mass killings of our troops. They continue to live in the G. Bush era. They cannot think about the future. They will destroy this nation if they get the White House.

always on the attack, I see virtualobserver Jul 2015 #6
Whether it's an attack depends on your perspective, and if you have a sense of humor, I suppose. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #8
your idea of a joke? "Obama and anyone who supports him is a warmongering 3rd wayer" virtualobserver Jul 2015 #9
I suppose if you take things out of context you can make all kinds of things out of them. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #10
there is no end to your spinning virtualobserver Jul 2015 #12
You intentionally quoted out of context to change the meaning of what I wrote, that's spinning stevenleser Jul 2015 #14
Here's another hint, it's the cognitive dissonance that is making you mad, not what I wrote stevenleser Jul 2015 #17
no, it is your perpetual spinning that is annoying, Bernie, Obama and I were against the Iraq War virtualobserver Jul 2015 #19
You keep making my point for me. Thanks for that! nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #20
your point is that we should vote for Bernie, since Hillary voted for the war? virtualobserver Jul 2015 #24
If you think spinning is bad, you really should go back over your posts. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #25

What else could be construed AgingAmerican Jul 2015 #22
Its neither vague nor sour. It's precise and quite delightfully happy. It's your cognitive stevenleser Jul 2015 #23
Do you even know what 'cognitive dissonance' means? AgingAmerican Jul 2015 #34
Yes, I do. And I see lots of it in Hillary and Obama detractors! nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #35
A better label for your supposed 'paradox' AgingAmerican Jul 2015 #37

Oh I don't think you need to resort to Macarthyist accusations. Pointing out problematic logic is stevenleser Jul 2015 #42
You were the one demanding proof that they had spoken out against the horrific "3rd way" accusers virtualobserver Jul 2015 #44
Oh, "Demanding!!!!!!!111!!11", for someone who proclaims they don't like spinning, you sure do it stevenleser Jul 2015 #46
as usual, you muddy the water and sidestep virtualobserver Jul 2015 #47
You wrote nothing of substance to address. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #50
you are not willing to address it...there is a difference virtualobserver Jul 2015 #58
Nope. You said I demanded, and I didn't. Simple, end of story. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #59
you wouldn't admit that your first post was an attack.... virtualobserver Jul 2015 #64
Why dont I accept your definition of what my post means? Hmmm. Sounds controlling for one. stevenleser Jul 2015 #69
first you said it was a joke, now it is a conflict in other peoples beliefs virtualobserver Jul 2015 #74
Correct. It's a joke based on a conflict in other people's beliefs. nt stevenleser Jul 2015 #77
