who ever said you ever did? there are hundreds of ways we could dissect the "issues" regarding these candidates. we're discussing these particular "issues" because they've gotten the most airtime in the media lately. Fox is part of the media. I watch Fox. I watch other cable channels. Fox plays these things more heavily than the other channels. I've not yet seen it there. I mentioned it. You assumed I was talking about you. I wasn't.

It doesn't matter though. Whether she was proud or really proud, the fact of the matter is that she is making the statement that our country has done nothing to make her a proud American until now. There is something wrong there. |
The something that is wrong there is that you're making another leap. I'm really surprised that you still managed to misread it. read the quote again. she didn't say "ever." she said her "adult life." read the quote one more time. she said "really proud." as in, more proud than just plain "proud." rather than say something like "she is making the statement that our country has done nothing to make her a proud American until now," why not just paste what she really did say? it's different than what you say she said. that's an example of dishonesty.

secrecy, expansion of the executive branch, impeachable offenses, an invasion with an unplanned aftermath, ... oh, and

I can't really ignore (sorry) the context. we protect a country from man we were arming a few years earlier. shame is a better word than pride.

you mean Reagan?! I can't be proud of illegal wars and negotiating with terrorists. the guy supported Saddam AND bin Laden. amazing that you even mention him. perhaps you didn't know.
