What will drive anyone nuts is trying to vote for a candidate based upon their “voting record”, because unlike most whores, the average politico often doesn’t feel any compunction about not delivering value for money.CenterPuke88https://www.blogger.com/profile/17770056621255249861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-18102935024119867682018-02-21T16:00:33.824-05:002018-02-21T16:00:33.824-05:00Then there is Trump, who was for gun control befor...Then there is Trump, who was for gun control before he decided to become a Republican. But I hesitate to point him out as an example, as Trump doesn't believe in anything other than the greatness of Trump.

I know of quite a few other people who did, as well.<br /><br />That she threw away her convictions as a Representative to be a Senator, well, I think that's wrong.<br /><br />But, coming from the other side, <a href="http://eb-misfit.blogspot.com/2007/09/911-changed-my-view-of-gun-control.html" rel="nofollow">Rudy the Fascist</a>, Mitt "<a href="http://eb-misfit.blogspot.com/2007/10/robomitt-you-cannot-be-serious.html" rel="nofollow">Fudge-Packer</a>" <a href="https://www.politico.com/story/2012/07/mitt-romneys-stance-on-gun-control-078767" rel="nofollow">Romney</a>, and <a href="https://eb-misfit.blogspot.com/2016/01/flippidy-flopping-on-guns-gop-ed.html" rel="nofollow">Chris "It's My Private Beach" Christie</a> did as well.Comrade Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15404477636451308763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-57584330917197320392018-02-21T15:04:03.827-05:002018-02-21T15:04:03.827-05:00What about what's right?

You have a problem with the people who voted for her. You also, <b><i>and equally</i></b>, have a problem with the people who did not vote for her, because they believed some other politician who was playing the same game.<br /><br />And Senator Gillibrand does not have a problem with democracy. It is a game. She plays it. Is it the game itself that you do not like? Is it the playing <b><i>of</i></b> games, any games? Would some fiddling with the rules make the game less irritating for you to witness?Frank Wilhoithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800594066476167549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-47591401086582741552018-02-21T10:13:22.705-05:002018-02-21T10:13:22.705-05:00Oh, and I forgot to add that my thoughts and praye...Oh, and I forgot to add that my thoughts and prayers are with the NRA during this latest crisis.Dark Avengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220642215040873632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-40406888699483333302018-02-21T09:45:17.933-05:002018-02-21T09:45:17.933-05:00"It's easier to fool people than to convi..."It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled." –Mark Twain<br /><br />For her it's all about power.
