I would change that to "delivering comedy from leftist craziness for over thirty years!"
When I run out of things to say or forget what we were talking about, I do like Joe does and give my remaining time to other posters.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

It does amazes me, however, that for all their hoopin and hollerin about 'diversity', they have an old straight white guy as their candidate.

No, If they had a decent candidate - somebody with actual "God and Country" values like the old Democrats - I'd probably vote for them. But those Democrats don't seem to exist anymore.
Perhaps they're not hoopin and hollerin as much as you think they are, Biden won the nomination after all.
Diversity isn't so much of a problem in the democrat party, perhaps the hoopin and hoolerin you're hearing about the lack of diversity in the republican party.
Jim - you claim you want civil discourse, but you seem absolutely incapable of engaging in it. DivineOB has taught me one thing --- you're not NEARLY as nutty or "out there" as he is.

Originally posted by Thoughtful Monk View PostThe Republicans tried to make the Clintons reelection campaign about his character and that failed. Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it.
The situation with Trump today is significantly different. Whatever flaws #42 had, they pale in comparison to the flaws of #45 - both in quality and quantity. And the plain fact is that the country has so many problems today that there's plenty of stuff to complain about beyond presidential personality flaws. You can look to Democrat/Biden advertising to see that the platform isn't focusing on Trump's character as much as they're focusing on the actual problems that need to be addressed. I don't think there's any need to worry about avoiding past mistakes here in this election.
In my humble opinion.

That's the point --- Democrats pretend to be all about diversity, yet look what they picked.
You've totally missed it. If you could possibly turn down the attitude a minute
No attitude here, CP.
I'm talking about the Democrats PROMOTING diversity, like it's the greatest thing in all the world, then running an old straight white guy instead of somebody "diverse".

Yeah, that's what I said.[/QUOTE]

Originally posted by JimL View PostAha, I think I see the problem, you seem to detect incivility where there is none. That was simply my honest opinion, and by the looks of your answer below it was simply a correct opinion.

That's totally unnecessary and untrue. You seem hard coded to respond like this -- like it's a little smart alec comment instead of a question or an actual response. And you persist --- "by the looks of your answer below it was simply a correct opinion".
No, it's not.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Republicans had the perfect opportunity to get behind Alan Keyes in 2000, a died-in-the-wool black conservative who absolutely trounced his opponents in the Republican debates. Yet the GOP rallied behind the rich caucasian idiot.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

No, because for most right-wing conservatives, standards/values are only used to hold other people accountable to. "Diversity" only matters when the person in-question belongs to the out group.
Ditto morality, family values, fiscal policy, national security, character, responsibility, law and order, intelligence, health, integrity, honesty, etc ad nauseum.
