I'd be willing to bet that a substantial number of the victims and their families are also Democrats.

If american partisan politics come into play *at all* when islamist terrorists decide to make a move, the likelihood is that the terrorist opposes the current president and thinks s/he is teaching the president and the people who elected him some kind of lesson.
Guess you missed the thread title.

Of course not, it's literally impossible for any POTUS to stop any and every attack on this country. They stopped the guy in California from doing the same thing, it could've been far worse.


But you literally are talking about some of the most simple-minded people who get scared at the sight of a fly. They think a couple of catchphrases, a wall and a ban are going to stop every one of these sociopaths, who were born here and became radicalized while citizens.

If this event changed your mind to vote for someone like Trump, then you probably shouldn't be voting at all.

Been posting in this thread for a while. No, I didn't miss the title. If you had actually read any of the previous posts, you'd know that.

Seeing as Orlando already happened, guess I can't argue your logic. Totally disagree with you on him doing this for self-interest. He doesn't have to do this and he has more true concern and love for our country than any candidate in a while. A vote for Hillary is a vote for the death of America and I don't think that is an understatement.

Doesn't make you a member of that party. Doesn't mean you vote that way in the general election or even care about the parties.
(Independents get left out of the primaries in many states, unless they declare one or the other)
It doesn't mean crap other then you wanted to vote in the election and that the parties use it to build their mailing lists.

Elsewhere in the country, hundreds of other people were shot on sunday. Do you care what religion the people that shot them are? Or what political party they might belong to?
No?

Did you look at what religion or political party Brock Turner belonged to?
No?

Do you bring up what religion former House Speaker Dennis Hastert is.
Did you say Christian serial rapist Dennis Hastert. No.


Terrorism is terrorism and murder is murder.
Doesn't matter what religion, political party or agenda you subscribe to.
Anti-gay, anti-jew, anti-christian, anti-muslim, anti-minority.
Your still a criminal, and only you should be treated as such.
Since you quote me with your blather, goodness...I don't think I've ever seen so much deflection in one place. Ridiculous, sickening, and totally off topic.

Like the above poster I quoted, multiple posts deflecting from the subject are just that. I'm happy for you that you think babble and spew equates to anything but babble and spew, but it isn't impressive or production.

Romney's critique of Trump was reasonable.

This should read: If this event didn't change your mind to vote for someone like Trump, they you shouldn't be voting at all.

Trump is not perfect - but he gets it.

What does he get? In my view, what he gets is how to use people's emotions to empower himself.

Trump is not perfect - but he gets it.
When tragedy strikes, we have three choices ...
We let it define us,
we let it destroy us, or
we let it strengthen us

Trump doesn't strengthen anything, he makes us weaker by dividing us even more. So you get to pick one of the other two.

Reading Trump's business history and bill stiffing history he is most certainly a 'Taker'!
