If that was even remotely unique to her, I'd say you have a point. There's only a handful of politicians I know of who would sooner face backlash for telling the truth than lie out of convenience and most of them have lost their jobs for it.
Fair enough, but there are varying degrees of honesty, and even if all politicians lie not all of them make an obvious habit of it. I've said this in the past, but just because politicians are known for lying doesn't mean we should let them get away with it. We call out the opposing side but rarely hold our own people responsible, and that just perpetuates the cycle.
If my constituents don't care, why stop? I just need to rally my troops, insult the competition, convince some independent voters, and boom. My reign of corruption continues and there's no incentive to ever change.
That's the only way libs can rationalize voting for her, to equate lying about terrorism to something like lying to your wife when you tell her she hasn't gotten fat.

Could be worse.
She could eschew scientific fact because of religion and feels.

I don't think Hillary is anyone's first choice, save for maybe some feminists who are only focused on gender. What she is, is a moderate mascarading as a progressive and electable. Which is miles ahead of extremists mascarading as moderates or true progressives that just aren't electable.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
EDIT: You really think she's a moderate? She's a radical disguised as a LIAR.

Ignoring the ***she's cooked up since Sanders started getting attention, yeah, she's a moderate. She's buddy'd up with Wall Street, favors free trade, pro-guns, etc. Really, the only progressive topics she's been consistent on over the years are choice and the environment.

Someday Jassik, the GOP will be forced to abandon the failing strategy of character assassination and actually go after her policies. Of course it will probably be too late by then.

This thread sometimes sure gets confusing. This thread is best experienced with Skrillex blaring in the background for maximum annoyance...or drunk. Whichever works. Pretty sure most people in here are drunk.

Do other countries do this? Sit and make a spectacle of each other on TV in hopes that one of them will be put in a leading position?

Here they actually talk about their politics
They're far less entertaining though

I know several countries have begun to complain about their unreasonably long campaign seasons. Sometimes lasting 4 months!

Yeah. But we don't have the debate deathbattle.
Usually it's just the various congresspeople and senators ripping each other on tv, the party leaders usually just prepare themselves a monologue and then go one at a time with pre-decided questions and never openly talk to each other in front of the public.

I think having your opponent killed is the popular thing in Russia.

I should just pick someone to ***on just in case.

Not killed, they just decide not to run, then never leave their house again.

We have a Poutine festival here. That the fries with cheese curds and gravy? I'd try it. Not eating anything maple though.

Obviously an opinion piece, but it raises some good points.

she would be
she would be anything if she thought for one second it would help her get elected. she doesn't have any positions, or morals, or scruples... or soul... or anything else.
she would eat her grandbaby on live tv if you promised her the white house for it

You have my support.

Does it just cost me my vote, or will it be pay-per-view?
Because I won't go for PPV on principle, but if she just needs my vote for it...

Ultimately, the only position she cannot morph into-out of is that she is indeed a woman. This oddly enough is her only qualifier for running for office. She's a liar above everything else, so you really cannot vote for her based on any position she's taken
This ultimately means her supporters are entirely sexist. They want a woman in the white house and they don't care about anything else but that.
Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
