Hillary and BO have both learned Chicago style politics. It literally took Blagojevich bragging about taking bribes on tape to convict him. His defense, literally, was that it's just how things are done around here. Sadly, he was correct about that. What he didn't understand was that you can't openly brag about it on tape. Most people don't have to have that last part explained to them.
I caught this information today in a comment on yet another hillary story so a quick check of the posters legal information yielded this
>> From the legal information institute, of Cornell university. <<
18 U.S. Code § 1924 - Unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material
(a) Whoever, being an officer, employee, contractor, or consultant of the United States, and, by virtue of his office, employment, position, or contract, becomes possessed of documents or materials containing classified information of the United States, knowingly removes such documents or materials without authority and with the intent to retain such documents or materials at an unauthorized location shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both.
(b) For purposes of this section, the provision of documents and materials to the Congress shall not constitute an offense under subsection (a).
(c) In this section, the term “classified information of the United States” means information originated, owned, or possessed by the United States Government concerning the national defense or foreign relations of the United States that has been determined pursuant to law or Executive order to require protection against unauthorized disclosure in the interests of national security.
I was going to say..."to be fair, you could do the same with a R candidate".
I'm not dead certain about that. Pretty darn sure, but...
Careful selection of venue for the prank? "reporting"? whatever you call this art form... would seem to be critical. Beach next to a California Liberal Arts College? That's ideal for leftist influenced kids ignorant of the meaning of "Sharia Law".
Where do you go for a Conservative candidate "gotcha"?
Christian themed University? Assembly line lunch break? Tea Party gathering? Or would the same beach get the same results, if asking to interview R candidate fans? Does the candidate matter? ( I think so )
To be fair, these "man on the street" videos surely don't include the people they found who don't want sharia? Lord, I hope there were some!
EZ, maybe you could list an example or two of how GOP candidates are a joke? That would strengthen your argument and win converts and undecideds. Also, I missed the puns; the real groaners are the best!
As opposed to the D candidates: A criminal, a socialist, and a guy whose advice to folks who hear someone outside their home is to shoot a shotgun through the front door.

A Democratic Socialist is different From a straight Socialist. You must be a Republican - only they are foolish enough to make that error, the rest of the Nation knows better. Much like their debaters, they can never get their terms right, let alone answer any topic. It's a pure shame to my family and the good republicans of their time that our party has stooped so low and become such a fountain of mis-information. Just pathetic. EZ

"If you have to ask, you'll never know."
From Wikipedia, the Ultimate Reference:
Democratic socialism is not specifically revolutionary or reformist, as many types of democratic socialism can fall into either category, with some forms overlapping with social democracy. Some forms of democratic socialism accept social democratic reformism to gradually convert the capitalist economy to a socialist one using the pre-existing political democracy, while other forms are revolutionary in their political orientation and advocate for the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the capitalist economy.
Looks like others are not as clear in their definition.

What candidate suggested the shooting through the front door?
Also, those videos, and this might shock you, are...EDITED! (play creepy, shocking music). Im certain they found students/supporters who were against it, but that doesnt make for good Far Right Porn. Guarantee that if you did the same with R you would find some similar answers
Also, what does Ben Affleck having HIlary's private email have to do with anything? Do you all have your bosses private email? Some of you might, but I know I dont, and I'm totally cool with that. Its a damn shame what happened to those four Americans, but I dont think bringing up an actor having her private email is relevant at all.

Joe Biden.....not currently a candidate but could be if Barry decides to sacrifice Hillary, advocated shooting blindly through doors with his double barrel shotgun. As the rational alternative to the more irresponsible rifle. Sarcasm on my part and truth.
Proving his ignorance of fire arms, the laws of self-defense and his dedication to lying to you about them.
Hillary & celebrities with her e-mail points out her lack of fitness to hold office since she deliberately destroyed public documents. On a server set up for the express purpose of evading the law. She said so. Both the illegal purpose, and the illegal destruction. She also lied, daily, changing the lies frequently, about the illegal storing and transmission of classified messages on that "authorized", by her, server.
And Duh! #obviousman. Of course the gotcha video is edited. If every Hillary supporter was so ignorant that they didn't know what Sharia means at all, they'd also be too stupid to know that socialism is a transitional form towards marxist-leninist authoritarian ideals.
All such videos are selective. A better question is what percentage of college age Hillary supporters will blindly agree with being enslaved and murdered in the streets for wearing a low cut (exposing the face ) top or be stoned to death for the shame of being raped?
THAT question speaks directly to the reasons an ancient, dishonest, immoral, irresponsible unconvinced felon has any support at all.
Also my wondering how easy to find Jeb supporters who would be just as ignorant of the meaning of Sharia. IMHO a few percentage points better than Hillary supporters, but worse than Carson supporters.
So care to explain what difference you think there is between one form of socialism and another? As a government form. Since the entire range of socialism is based on deliberate falsehoods some may have difficulty telling the difference at a distance between Stalinist and National socialist workers party versions. (Even though those two variations were rivals and bitter enemies)

If she had been using State dept email, her address would have been well known to him. It would be in the global address list available to everyone with a mailbox. She didn't have a mailbox though. Not at State. She used her own, for official State business, and saw fit to give it to an actor who gives her lots of money, but not one of her employees who relied on her decisions to provide for the safety of his team. And now he's dead, in part, because Hillary couldn't be bothered to have her email accessible to FOI requests or legal discovery.

Congratulations to FB1 and all those waiting in the mountains to wash away what is destroying America. May Progressives rot in the same grave as their Soviet counterparts.
From the Washington Post: THE BIG IDEA: Just like the midterms one year ago, it was another awful night for Democrats.
* Republican Matt Bevin won a big upset in the Kentucky governor’s race. The guy who Mitch McConnell crushed by 25 points in a 2014 primary will now become just the second Republican to govern the Bluegrass State in four decades.
* Democrats failed to pick up Virginia’s state Senate. It’s a huge blow to Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who went all-in to make it happen. Democrats could have won by capturing just one seat because of the tie-breaking authority of Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam (D). But Republicans held every single seat.
* Houston’s Equal Rights Ordinance, designed to protect the rights of gay citizens and others, failed by a wide margin.
* Ohio rejected marijuana legalization by a two-to-one margin.
* Even in San Francisco, the sheriff who steadfastly defended the city’s “sanctuary city” policy went down. Fox News: “Ross Mirkarimi and his office received heavy criticism after Mexican illegal immigrant Francisco Sanchez allegedly shot and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle on San Francisco’s waterfront July 1. Sanchez had been released from Mirkarimi’s jail in March even though federal immigration officials had requested that he be detained for possible deportation.” The city also rejected new regulations on Airbnb.

It's about access. Do you have other access to talk to your boss? Chris Stevens couldn't simply walk down the hall and knock on her door. It's a matter of who Hillary decided to allow communication, in both directions. Clearly Hillary made a conscious decision to not only block access from those below her, but to also completely ignore those below her in all communications. In essence, she was disconnected from the job she was supposed to be doing. Is that really how it works between you and your boss?
What candidate suggested the shooting through the front door?
During an interview with Field and Stream, an outdoors magazine, the vice-president gave additional advice to those looking to protect themselves against would-be intruders: "Just fire the shotgun through the door."
Or perhaps it's just a matter of being the Democratic lap dog. I'll let you tell me which.
The latest batch of Hillary Clinton's private emails includes one that shows Clinton made an effort to help evacuate the acting Libyan prime minister from Benghazi amid a crumbling security situation.
It was released by the State Department just a week after congressional Republicans grilled Clinton for failing to respond to requests for more security from her own ambassador, who was killed in the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi.
This was released AFTER her testifying in front of congress? I thought all of her emails relating to Benghazi had been released. What else do we not know yet?
Posted on Wednesday, November 04, 2015 - 11:30 am:
Oh no, the release of classified Hillary emails is to be done in the Clinton drip drip drip manner. People must be desensitized to her & his actions by dragging it out over a long period of time.
Worked for Bill. By the time you hear she's been a cannibal eating small Mexican children to stay young.... or they reveal she ordered the murder of her own lawyer, they figure no one will care. (Which of the above is likely to be true? Hillary watchers have known for over a decade.)
At this point there is a pile of smoking guns stinking up the F.B.I. offices.

In spite of Bloomburg spending $2 million (!) dollars to push for the gun-control agenda. My rep (Ben Cline) won again, with a 40-point advantage over his challenger. Yay! We hardly have any Dems in the Senate from western Virginia now.

Excellent news Reindogster, thanks for sharing. Matt Bevin's win is most awesome; he's a good man.
Denise and I both voted yesterday, so we can take partial credit for helping retain the Virginia senate.

"Joe Biden.....not currently a candidate" Exactly, the guy has already said he wont run, so dont try to lump him in just because yes, it was a comment, but no point in adding to lies by saying he was a candidate.
"If that's the case, Hybrid could also have been more precise in his question." No, it was pretty dang precise. I knew well and good that JB wasnt running, and I also knew he had made some comments about firing into the air, pissing yourself etc etc, but again, he aint running. Dont say that I need to be more precise when someone else is the one making stuff up.
As to the email, I have a hard time believing that she did not have a work email address. An actor having a personal email address is fine and should NOT be a title/theme to any sort of propaganda. That said, we should stay focused on the issue, which is her failings that lead to the deaths of our countrymen. She failed to do something about the four Americans, something no actor or actress has anything to do with. I just dont see the point in including it to sway someoen to your side.

Oh, and...making shit up? Hardly. Historically, the VP has been seen as the presumptive nominee. He only recently ceded his spot to Hillary.
Seriously though, you should educate yourself about the people you're defending. She didn't have a State email address. She has openly admitted this. Where have you been?
