Hillary campaigns at early voting location — in violation of NC law? [W:280]

Absentglare said:
You're claiming that electioneering is a problem that is unique to democrats because Hillary was far outside the legal limit in one instance. I'm explaining that it's despicable when either side does it. Are you capable of acknowledging that ?

You seem to have some problem acknowledging I already said I don't like it when either side does it. Why is that?

Because you continue to disagree with me while i'm insisting that this problem is not unique to democrats.

I have had two posters make insinuations about my voting or not voting, one called me a child, and you insinuated I was a prostitute.

I didn't even go NEAR that line of disrespect. I wont be waiting for any of you to apologize, but you can bet I wont give any of you respect any time soon.

WOW!!!!! For somebody who likes snark and likes to dish dirt and disrespect as a matter of routine, you certainly go to great lengths to purposely and disingenuously misinterpret what was obviously meant as a witty remark so you can pretend offense.

Candidates with ethics don't tend to campaign right outside a voting location during voting. But we all know how Hillary feels about ethics, they are something you ask whether it matters after you get caught.

And you should learn how to think.

Actually, never mind. That's asking the impossible.

Oh, so you're going that route. Its just a joke. CYA. We both know better. When you cross the line you don't just edge your way over it, you go sprinting past it.

It wasn't witty, it was asinine.

Only if you ignore all of my comments to the contrary, which seems to be a pattern with you.
 
Absentglare said:
Okay, so you think Hillary was intimidating voters to vote for her, by simply being in visual range of the early voting location.

Intimidate : frighten or overawe (someone), especially in order to make them do what one wants.

I guess i'm not as scared of the mere sight of Hillary, whereas you seem to be intensely so.

Well.......

People have been known to mysteriously die when they disappoint her.... so..... there is that.

You can do better than a schoolyard taunt. How about addressing the topic?

There's something ironic about your post. Hmm....let me see. The guy who tells me to learn how to read wags his finger at me for a "schoolyard taunt". Thanks for the laugh.

I did address the topic. Repeatedly. Hillary, in spite of the OP and your braying and the braying of the other Trump fans, didn't do anything wrong. Don't be like Trump and go after stupid things. Criticize the woman for legitimate issues.

I don't insult and opine that you can't think. That would be the difference, I am not insulting you. I am addressing the OP through the optics of my home state and the culture that is around precinct campaigning.

The optics of campaigning outside a polling place are not that they are illegal but certainly tacky and it looks unethical, but then, that describes most politicians, and Hillary especially. Now I have asked multiple posters to consider the issue of illegal versus unethical and not a single one of you can bring yourselves to consider it. I have dealt with immature outbursts, name calling, and the Trump did it too excuse.

Is there any chance at all one of you could consider the idea that doing it is bad even if it isn't illegal?

Now then, carry on with your weak tactics instead of trying to think of the subject on a slighter deeper level and making politics more honest rather than less.

I read that article and what they "REVEALED!!!!!!111one!!!!" was that she stated that the statues for opening early voting locations stated "No site may be designated that affords an advantage to a particular party".

Besides, not exactly like I can trust the author of this particular article..... have you seen the other stuff he writes? His list of proves he is desperate to make Trump look bad, even if it means resorting to tabloid level bull****.

Ah, well thank you for agreeing that Donald Trump is as unethical as Hillary Clinton. That must have been hard. Most of the rest of us already knew that about him.

But, sadly,

Most of YOU can't seem to bring yourself to speak disparagingly about your dear leader, the almighty "" HER ""

Gary Johnson is a man, not a "HER".

I voted for a real Republican in the primary - Marco Rubio.

Try not to let facts confuse you.

Hillary is no different than any of them, including the "anti-politician" Trump. They all campaign outside of the voting places. The fact that you didn't already know that is on you, not me. Your "opining" was, as usual, misplaced.

If it bothers you, lobby your Congressman to get the rules changed. Until then, don't "opine" about something that is perfectly acceptable, and completely normal.

I will opine about whatever I want. I did know they do it, that doesn't mean I have to like it. Who do you think YOU are to tell anyone else what they should have an opinion about?

Now read the rest of the thread.

I did and my comment stands. You have been from what I've seen trying to establish some moral and/or ethical superiority for where you live, yet haven't shown that Hillary violated that established limit, even if she had done the same in your state. You have claimed that people frown upon politicians doing what Hillary did in your area, yet the laws don't establish that and you have shown no actual evidence to support the assertion, only your anecdotal belief.

You do realize that I was including myself in the remark don't you? So it was hardly an insult.

Look OC - you want to treat each other civilly.... fine by me. And I am more than willing to do so providing its consistent and works both ways.

When you're high up in politics for several decades, you meet a lot of people, many of whom may pass away.

I asked you why it was unethical. Your only answer was that you think her presence is so intimidating [that people would feel compelled to vote for her].

Of course, something can be bad even if its legal. Cigarettes cause cancer. Alcohol kills your liver and impairs your judgement. There are reasons and justifications for criticisms of the uses of those substances. You lack any discernible reason, substance, or justification, save partisanship.

So, if it isn't wrong why isn't he rule 5 feet, or on the premises, or 10 feet, or in the parking lot? I've also stated I don't like it when anyone does it, GOP or Dem. Partisanship, it appears your response has more to do with it than mine.

Nobody said you couldn't opine, OC. But when you opine, you put your opinion out there for discussion, and when you're wrong, you get ripped apart, as you did in this thread. So continue to opine about something that everyone else knows isn't an issue. I'll leave you to your crying about this and move on to a real discussion.
