Some folks are easily scared. BOO!

Everyone has an absolute right to say or write anything they please. They do not have a right to say it everywhere. Some people would say providing a venue for the speaker is a way of endorsing what the speaker is going to say.


Just look at the Republican convention. The use of a Loan shark's building indicates the owners approval of corrupt business practices and the use by the Republicans indicates they approve of corrupt businesses. By nominating The Donald the latter is obvious.

Typical Liberal Lefty criticizing the hard working people in the US.
How about Hillary and the Corporate interests that have own her ? That suppose to be different?

Repubs want to protect your rights, Dems want to take them away.

Greg you seem like a great guy but I don't see how you can stay a Dem. Look what Mass just did on restricting Gun sales and you know most Dem Politicians wants to do the same thing across the US.

At least that Loan Shark wants to protect your right to keep the guns you own. Hillary would love to take them all away.

He favorite term now is "Weapons of War". They are all scary and need to be banned.

Trump is threatening a lawsuit against the writer of Art of the Deal because he called Trump a sociopath if he does not stay quiet. Now that is true example of facism.

Only Six Percent Of Scientists Are Republicans: Pew Poll



And no liberal is ever going to ban free speech because then liberals would be unable to talk about republican stupidity and corruption. And you should be scared to put a Trump bumper sticker on your car. Donald Trump has plans to add $24.5 trillion dollars to our national debt in the next 20 years. How will America's children be able to live good economic lives with an extra $24.5 trillion dollars on our national debt?

Trump


And what will Trump do for you/America?

Trump wants to do $12 trillion dollars in tax cuts. Trumps tax cuts will give the lowest earning 60% of American workers 13% of his tax cuts, and give the richest 20% of Americans 70% of the tax cuts.

Donald Trump's Tax Plan Would Cost $12 Trillion | CTJReports

In 20 years Trumps tax cuts will add $24.5 trillion dollars to our national debt just to give the richest 20% of Americans tax cuts, do you think that's right?
The source you're citing is an ultra-liberal blog, not a group of scientists or accountants... Consider the source before calling the kettle black. Absurdity. Why not try reading his proposal right off his website?

True, in public one can wear bandanas, water balloons and cigarette lighters.

I have been a Republican my whole life (until the last 2-3 elections), and I agree the party is now way stupider, embarrassing, pandering to evil idiots, and entirely incapable promoting decent candidates for high-level positions.

I cannot agree with the hyper-wasteful, overtaxing, enabling dem platforms, either, so I sit disenfranchised.
