Thats the reason we don't need children voting

I thought Wing Nuts believed that ****? Now, we have fans of Rush begging us to kiss some third world Homophobic dictator's ass.

When you're attacking someone's communication prowess, you'd have much more credibility if you'd run spellcheck prior to your attempt.

At the risk of sounding redundant, we now know all about you we need to know.

I certainly hope my post didn't go over your "heard" :lol:

Naw, it just goes to point out how petty you can be when you have nothing you can dispute. We are all used to it.

You need to find some kind of individual win for yourself by correcting spelling errors, go do your thing man.

Homosexuality is a crime in 72 countries. I don't remember it being a crime to be black. Anywhere. Most of these have killing campaigns that are never prosecuted by law enforcement. They describe homosexuality as moral bankruptcy or modern western barbarism.

You are actively avoiding the point. Not 50 years ago the idea of a black president would be considered unacceptable, and people would have rationalized it away in the same way you have here re: homosexuality (It's not me, it's everyone else.)

So to what benefit is there to elect a gay president? Just to say we did it? If you don't think there will be a significant impact globally then you are just closing off any opinion for no reason at all.

One hopes it would be because he also had the best policy positions, but for 2020 not being Trump is good enough for me. Presumably you would prefer a relative moderate like Buttigieg to a wild-eyed !!!SOCIALIST!!! like Sanders.

I wasn't rationalizing anything. I gave you actual reasons why it would be a bad idea. He doesn't have the experience, he's way to young, and this whole spin is about him being gay. Neither he or Sanders will win an election against Trump. Like you said, you are voting for him because he's running against Trump.

I have no illusions of him winning an election. He just doesn't have the support. But even if he did, it would not be good for the country to host a president who couldn't even visit the multitude of countries without breaking their laws.

Is he upset that Buttigieg has only been married once and is in a committed, loving relationship?

While there are many ways Trump's relationships, marriage and family life can be criticized, there is no basis whatsoever to claim Pete Buttigieg is the ideal person who understands marriage with children and parenting burdens - or long term committed relationships or marriage. There is no indication he has ever been in a truly long term committed relationship, has been married less than 2 years and has no children. He only came out less than 5 years ago. We have no idea what he is like in terms of relationships.

We don't know hardly anything about him at all - just by his extremely well rehearsed mini speeches and talking points he and his advisers wrote. He strikes me as what a human looking AI robot would be like. Very robotic.

Uh...no. Sorry, but that was kinda dumb.

I suggest you look up the term "preconceived notion", and try again.

But, more importantly, you should re-read my remarks. I did not suggest there could be no preconceived notions about Trump (in general). I said there are no preconceived notions about Trump's character, morality, fitness for office, etc. Everyone knows he is of low character...he's (at best) amoral...at worst, wholeheartedly immoral...and he is temperamentally and intellectually unfit for the office he holds.

This isn't rocket science. If you believe everything being said about Trump, you believe in every preconceived notion about Trump. BTW, some of that being said about Trump isn't true, but, you aren't aware of that because you believe in every preconceived notion about Trump.
