Why do you keep laughing while ignoring these facts about REPUBLICAN voters that are posted right on this thread?

Anyone want to take odds that ol' Finn will continue to ignore these facts?
Thats like comparing jaywalking to murder... liberals are idiots... gun smuggling ring comparing that to visiting a prostitute or having an extramarital affair... liberals are total idiots...

He lost. How did the voters not hold him accountable? Looks like at least some of them did some due diligence.

If I understand your reasoning, you are casting aspersions on the majority for the way the minority voted? How does that make sense?

Edited to add - the original news story in the OP's link is from a *very liberal* newspaper who were pretty scathing about those who did vote for Yee.

WAIT!!! You probably say the exact opposite with regards to Clinton, yes? Oh wait, Democrats don't push family values so that doesn't count, right?

You are actually comparing a cheating husband to a gun running terrorist? After all, that's what Yee really is.

Of course he freaking lost. He's sitting in federal prison lol. He still got 11% of the vote, which is sizable. Can you imagine if he won? The libs would be in here trying to actually defend that.

I love the liberal excuses.

Normal human being: "Man, Leland Yee (D) is sitting in federal prison for being a triad gangster and still got 300,000 votes from liberals. That's surprising and almost pathetic."

Liberal Cheerleader: "Well, uh... at least he didn't win! Also, I seem to remember some republican had sex with a woman out of wedlock. C'mon, can you imagine that?! How despicable! Why aren't they in jail? Uh... Bill Clinton who?"

Not several million. He got 10% of the vote, 1 in 10 voters wanted a gun running terrorist thug as their Secretary of State.

Is that simple enough? Can any of you liberal partisans just agree that this was idiotic?

C'mon, you can be honest. It feels good to be honest, just try it... I know you can do it.

No, I was responding in regards to Urbanlifes comments.

But in regards to Lee....yes, even a minority vote...he still garnered 10% of the vote.

Yes, 300,000 votes for somebody indicted on weapons charges is enough to ask.

"What the hell is wrong with California?"

You do realize those 2 statements do not contradict the point the other poster was making right ??

Several million means at least 2 million.

There were 2,939,659 votes cast.

Maybe they didn't believe the lamestream media? Maybe they thought it was a trumped up charge, a conspiracy to take someone down for political reasons?

I don't believe either of those things, just quoting conservative mottos back at ya.
