Oh, no doubt. I've seen some of the other "insightful" postings out there also clinging to the ever-expanding nothingness of a topic you constantly reference when trying to shore up the rationale behind your position. The fact that you're not alone in holding on to your pet dead horse simply proves P.T. Barnum's adage...

Wow, didn't see that comment coming. Actually, I've seen it in various forms from you on this forum repeatedly...but then you repeatedly beat dead horses, so I shouldn't be surprised. You are as predictable as the Bears sucking. You consistently dredge out the same old lame duck argument and then when called on it, immediately run to the blanket statement for defense.
If belligerence is your style, at least keep it fresh and relevant. The Benghazi stuff is just pathetic.

It's nice to know that Clinton is regarded as 'equally abhorrent' to someone who could very easily be written into an eighties kid's movie as the villain. He stole from a charity to settle his own stupid lawsuits AND to buy portraits of himself. He once walled a Scottish couple's property in when they wouldn't sell it to him for his golf course, and then sent them the (inflated, according to the couple) bill.

Heck, with his answers to Scientific American and his figureheading the Republican platform, he could be the villain of an eighties kids' environmental movie. That's how unsubtle he is!

Hey... I ain't going to defend Trump. He's scum.

Too bad there's TWO Democrats running for President.

I'm not trying to do the "Hillary is the mirror of Trump"... she's just bad for other reasons.

So, riddle me this bat man. Why is it no one brings up the Clinton's wealth?

They've been on government jobs for over 30 years... and their net worth north of $100 million dollars??

OMG, the melodrama. Nobody is debating it's a tragedy, but you take it to Inquisitorial absurdity, even in the face of absolute facts that fly smack into your position, to the contrary. You cling to Benghazi like Linus and his blanket after even the GOP witch hunters, who began this smear campaign, come out, after 8 Congressional hearings on the matter...let me just say that again for effect, 8 CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS...and find HRC not guilty of any wrongdoing. What exactly is throwing you here? Is 8 not enough? Maybe 20 works for you? Hell, let's make a game show out of it. Ridiculous.

I don't care about the Congressional hearing at the moment. That's not pertinent to this discussion.

We're talking about what kind of person HIllary Clinton is...

The absolute fact was that she knew it had nothing to do with that youtube video.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/she-knew-all-along-1445556778
...
Two hours into Mrs. Clinton’s testimony, Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan referred to an email Mrs. Clinton sent to her daughter, Chelsea, at 11:12 the night of the attack, or 45 minutes after the secretary of state had issued a statement blaming YouTube-inflamed mobs. Her email reads: “Two of our officers were killed in Benghazi by an Al Queda-like group.” Mrs. Clinton doesn’t hedge in the email; no “it seems” or “it appears.” She tells her daughter that on the anniversary of 9/11 an al Qaeda group assassinated four Americans.

That same evening, Mrs. Clinton spoke on the phone with Libyan President Mohamed Magariaf, around 8 p.m. The notes from that conversation, in a State Department email, describe her as saying: “We have asked for the Libyan government to provide additional security to the compound immediately as there is a gun battle ongoing, which I understand Ansar as Sharia [sic] is claiming responsibility for.” Ansar al Sharia is al Qaeda’s affiliate on the Arabian Peninsula. So several hours into the attack, Mrs. Clinton already believed that al Qaeda was attacking U.S. facilities.

The next afternoon, Mrs. Clinton had a call with the Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Kandil. The notes from it are absolutely damning. The secretary of state tells him: “We know that the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack—not a protest.” And yet Mrs. Clinton, and Ms. Rice and Mr. Obama for days and days continued to spin the video lie.
...

She knew. That is an irrefutable fact.

And yet, lied over the caskets of the fallen.

feth her. feth everyone involved to spin this tragedy away.

And, while I'm at it... feth Cheeto Jesus too.

EDIT: Anyhoo... debates coming up.

Here's my debate prep!

15 min till debate.

Trump has to show he's not Hitler (low bar) and Hillary has to be, not herself (high bar).



I don't think this year, the debates would convince anyone to change their minds.

This is for all the undecided out there.

Hillary needs to be calm, cool and on point. No real need to 'fact check' or 'challenge' trump. Just be a cool Cucumber.

Trump, on the other hand, has to draw contrast from himself with Hillary and I can see him put his foot in his mouth.
