Bitstrips is still a thing? frylock Sep 2015 #22

Sounds like something the Romney campaign would've tried. "Branding" is in essence a deception arcane1 Sep 2015 #25

If it is as you suggest then the support Hillary currently receives from women should be declining, still_one Sep 2015 #28

Sanders takes pride in no silly attacks on HRC just focusing on policy differences oberliner Sep 2015 #30

It's not Sanders' policy to send gift baskets of hand creams to female voters Scootaloo Sep 2015 #35

Wait..wait! Isn't the Guardian a well known RW rag?? Is Hillary going to be its Covergirl? Tierra_y_Libertad Sep 2015 #31

Nope, but it doesn't necessarily represent how the majority of American women feel about Hillary still_one Sep 2015 #32

Correct. The actual article is the USA Today link; the Guardian link is opinion about that n/t arcane1 Sep 2015 #40

which was redundant because we've all read it wyldwolf Sep 2015 #167

Your circular reasoning is making my head spin. Garrett78 Sep 2015 #170

What's making your head spin is the realization everyone doesn't see things like you do wyldwolf Sep 2015 #173

Well, no. It's quite evident that we don't all agree. But nice try. Garrett78 Sep 2015 #175

I hit a nerve. You throw all these 'progressive' buzzwords around and expect people to be in awe wyldwolf Sep 2015 #176

You haven't hit anything. You've missed badly every time. Buzzwords? Garrett78 Sep 2015 #177
