In reply to the discussion: Another scandal? Surely not.... [View all]woodsprite
(12,179 posts)51. I was surprised by my very conservative friend.
He posted on his FB account that even though he was conservative, there was no way that he was anti-woman like they are trying to make their agenda. He said he has a sister, a Mom, and 4 daughters of his own and he cannot believe that they had the gall to go there.
It was the only post that this guy ever wrote that I "liked" and replied to. I thanked him for posting his viewpoint and told him that I hoped other conservatives would feel the same. I'm not sure he would go as far to vote for Obama, but I have noted a change in my conservative friends. Most have been silent, which is unusual in itself. Maybe something is yet to happen that will push them to open their eyes and acknowledge the crazy that has poisoned their party.

There's a GD thread on the 'poison pill' in a file that would be released if he were jailed.

Unwise, considering the 'poison pill' was to be released upon his death or arrest by associates.

I'd rather have him alive and free, than any money that bet would bring.

A deafening silence here, too. In 2008, I was blasted, bombarded, smacked every day

So true. That's why I keep telling people it's not really about politics at all...

I agree, and that "14%" was manipulated, and as of yet we haven't seen full disclosure.

I agree, and by "full disclosure" I meant we've not had whole returns, apparently piece meal is how
