Always been that way, newt is right people vote with feelings
Yeah, but I don't remember any politicians ever so consistently going against the very notion of facts as the majority of Republicans are doing today.

Usually it's just twisting the facts to suit your agenda, not saying fuck facts in general - and that is still a huge difference, even if the original position was hardly perfect.

These past two weeks have been completely fucking barfworthy. I really need to get out of here.

Dude, how do you survive if you're this naive and easily fooled? Bernie has a responsibility to go for a lesser evil at this point. Which is clearly Hillary.
There you go, Chuck Todd has spoken.

Even someone like Ted Cruz doesn't support Trump because he's against the guy politically. Bernie doesn't have to support anybody, but the about-face that he and some of his supporters did is rather pathetic. Hillary is basically pro-war and global trade agreements, Bernie is the complete opposite -- that is his foundation. They meet in the middle because both are Democratic party and establishment stooges. Either that, or he's being forced to by blackmail or something. He looks miserable.

Depends on what you mean by "facts". I would imagine that you mean articles predominately written by leftist statisticians and pundits.

No not at all. Did you watch the video I posted (even though you probably hate the guy, do it for the interview with Gingrich)?

There are plenty of rightist fact-based articles, the vast majority are. Of course I would argue that they present a very incomplete or misleading set of facts or twist them in an illogical way to suit their agenda, but you would say the same about most leftist articles - that's usual politics.

But right now you've got people like Gingrich in the video, or Trump on numerous occasions, who don't even try to work with facts, but simply compeltely dismiss them - and that's a huge step backwards, even from the very imperfect situation we had before.

What's the big deal? If they already have the hack, why not turn over the emails? Trump isn't advocating spying if they already have the goods, ya dolt.

Public has a right to know where the bases are, we shouldn't be involved with SA anyway. I don't need more excuses to consider voting for Trump.

:lol: yes because asking hostile nations to undermine national interest and push personal agenda is not treason, you have become such a joke over the years

You make no sense so it's only natural for you to vote for him.

He essentially said turn over the emails so that we know what was compromised. Nothing wrong with that since it was our information in the first place. Just think of it as Israel forking it over, our awesome buddy.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,”

This is called solicitation, and if the agent is a hostile nation it is treason. I can't believe you choose not to see the outrage here.

But we have a rogue government as well. If Russia had proof they were dealing with China for instance, who is the real traitor? This sounds like a new Snowden case, he a traitor like too?
