Non sequitur. Fred Sanders Sep 2015 #56

That's some serious crazy right there. JoePhilly Sep 2015 #5

Even you can see Hillary as a candidate for any political party except her own is indeed crazy. whereisjustice Sep 2015 #6

I love nonsensical ranting on a Saturday morning. JoePhilly Sep 2015 #7

Hillary says she is an "outsider", indeed nonsensical - are you saying she drunk tweeted that? whereisjustice Sep 2015 #11

She is a woman who currently holds no political office. BlueWaveDem Sep 2015 #17

Hillary's no outsider lol pinebox Sep 2015 #33

The term "outsider" can't be used for career politicians. BlueWaveDem Sep 2015 #34

Both Sanders and Trump are seen as outsiders pinebox Sep 2015 #37

Bernie is great, but he is definitely not an outsider. BlueWaveDem Sep 2015 #41

I'll disagree pinebox Sep 2015 #45

He has been getting a local or federal government paycheck for nearly a third of a century. MADem Sep 2015 #53

Yes while true pinebox Sep 2015 #60

You said it, not me. I'll take a ten foot pole when getting into those kinds of discussions. MADem Sep 2015 #69

Bernie is seen as an outsider pinebox Sep 2015 #86

Bernie is an outsider against the "Deep State" of which Hillary is intricately tied to. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #78

Lockheed Martin? F-35? Sandia Labs? Looks like he's IN that club. nt MADem Sep 2015 #88

Certainly not to the extent that Hillary is, Bernie's funding is from the people not the mega-rich Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #90

So, just putting a toe in is OK? Hmmm. OK. nt MADem Sep 2015 #91

I would rather have a President with a stinky toe than one swimming in shit and proud of it. n/t Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #92

The truth is, that once they put a toe in, they usually want to go for a swim. MADem Sep 2015 #97

Until the time comes that Bernie does go for a swim, I will give him the benefit of the doubt. n/t Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #98

He's wading--you just don't see it because it doesn't suit your hopes and desires for him as a MADem Sep 2015 #100

It's all relative and by your own admission Bernie' has only put a toe in. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #103

Please don't regard my "toe" comment as a measure of his involvement. That was posited as a MADem Sep 2015 #104

My declaration is in agreement with your posed question and if you read the transcript or viewed the Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #105

If he were so good at using the "bully pulpit" don't you think he would have so done before now? MADem Sep 2015 #106

The "bully pulpit" is a Presidential platform not so much that of a Congressperson or Senator. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #108

Ted Kennedy used it all the time. Elizabeth Warren uses it routinely. MADem Sep 2015 #109

None of the people that you cited were President and their voices didn't and don't carry the same Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #110

Oh, really? MADem Sep 2015 #111

I never said that nobody ever heard Ted Kennedy, Elizabeth Warren nor any of the other people that Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #112

Just stop it. MADem Sep 2015 #113

I'm not moving the goalposts, the first sentence from my post# 108 Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #114

Ha--now you're moving 'em BACK again!!! MADem Sep 2015 #115

I will type this slowly and highlight the bolded parts for your re-reading pleasure Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #116

Typing slowly may help your spelling and grammar, but all you're doing is delaying your response. MADem Sep 2015 #117

No you haven't and I bet if you pulled a "Jaywalking" and asked the people Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #120

Yes, I have, and you're embarrassing yourself now. You're playing nanny nanny boo boo MADem Sep 2015 #121

Name recognition gives an advantage in sparking attention, that's just logic. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #123

Aren't you exhausted? You've hauled those goalposts all over the field, now! nt MADem Sep 2015 #124

The goalposts haven't been moved except within your own imagination. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #126

Your posts are not invisible. Anyone can read them and see where MADem Sep 2015 #133

Congratulations on that keen observation and as for "goalposts?" Your first post #53 Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #135

Sorry pal--you were leading this little dance, not me. And gish galloping doesn't work with me, MADem Sep 2015 #137

My position on the bully pulpit hasn't changed at any point on this thread, except in Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #138

Not sure what your point is, there. An outsider running for POTUS can have a bully pulpit. MADem Sep 2015 #139

From my very post on the subject of the Bully Pulpit #105 Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #140

Yeah, and then you picked up those goalposts and said this.... MADem Sep 2015 #142

I suppose "not as much" would've been a better phrase but I also added this to the same post. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #143

Stop with the 1 of 535 stuff. We all KNOW that some Senators and Reps have higher profiles than MADem Sep 2015 #144

I hate to pop your bubble but everyone doesn't know who Elizabeth Warren is anymore than they know Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #145

Yeah, that's why 'no one' is talking about them...not. MADem Sep 2015 #146

Now you're moving the goal posts, going from "everyone knows" to "no one" is talking about them..not Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #147

Sarcasm, apparently, escapes you. MADem Sep 2015 #148

I know what "not" means in that context and I know what your post was stating after I Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #149

Are you sure of that? Didn't seem that way to me. nt MADem Sep 2015 #150

Everyone doesn't know. Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #151

Everyone capable of being influenced does. Anyone else doesn't give a shit. nt MADem Sep 2015 #152

That's a false statement. n/t Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #153

No, it's not. nt MADem Sep 2015 #154

Yes it is "everyone capable of being influenced" knows them is absolutist bullshit. n/t Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #155

Ah, yes indeed..... MADem Sep 2015 #156

That's a good response for someone that has none. n/t Uncle Joe Sep 2015 #157

Aw, now you're just fuming. nt MADem Oct 2015 #158

"Fuming" I couldn't be happier. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #159

Whatever you say! nt MADem Oct 2015 #160

Thank you, peace to you, MADem. Uncle Joe Oct 2015 #161

Utter nonsense--Drudge still sucks. Today's headline: "Putin Outsmarts Obama." MADem Sep 2015 #125
