Powell used a private server, Rice used a private server and Bush deleted 5 million emails. Paint one....paint all.

Who really cares. Citizens United voters will vote based on the bs these rogue "campaign" throw up/out there.

Here's an easier and more simple solution. No one individual or organization can give more than $100 to a candidate in a calendar year.

That sounds great,but without an objective press,something we don't have,it can't work.

Objective by any impartial standard.

Some news sources are more "slanted" then others.
MSNBC, The N.Y. Times and Fox come to mind.

But with rare exception, objective reporting has gone the way of the Dodo Bird.

Objectivity in news reporting was lost long before the internet.

It became obvious during the 60's,when what were supposed to be news reports by people like Morley Safer and Walter Cronkite on subjects like the Vietnam War,became editorials.

As far as indictment.

If Comey's comments are accurate.
Mrs. Clinton,the "smartest woman in the world",didn't know that the "c" on her email meant classified.

You also conduct an interview with the target of a criminal investigation,without that person being under oath ?

And I'm sure Bill and Loretta met in private on a plane,just to discus golf and grand kids.

Yea,nothing to see here.

Cronkite was against the war,so he told the "truth" as he saw it.

The government,from Johnson,a Democrat I believe, on down,also was less then honest with the American people.

Thing is,the government didn't have the ability to broadcast edited news reports into American homes every night.

According to friends of mine who served in Vietnam,the news reports didn't come close to telling the true story of what was going on over there,especially the atrocities done by the North to our soldiers and their civilians.

I also can't believe that you're paying so much attention to a convention for a party you have no interest in or respect for.

It will be interesting to see if the "objective" news media is as "picky" when the Democrats hold their convention.

Monroe:
Why the name calling ?

Just because you disagree on what you assume was how I felt about the Vietnam War,(you were wrong by the way) is no reason to try to insult me.

I'd like to know the basis of your assumptions on my position on the Vietnam War?

I wasn't a supporter of us being there,but felt that, if we were going to fight a war,we fight it as a "war" not a "police action".

I wasn't a supporter of the war. However,I still would have gone,had I been drafted.I actually planned on enlisting in the Marines if my number came up.

I still remember one of my ROTC instructors at O.U. going over the reasons why our tactics in Vietnam wouldn't result in victory.He felt the war would end in a similar manner to Korea.

I was in ROTC since, when I got to O.U., I hadn't gotten my draft number yet,and ROTC was the only deferment you could get.

ROTC confirmed that I wasn't cut out to be an officer,so I dropped my deferment and took my chances in the draft.

As far as politics,I enjoy a good debate about issues.Your last post makes it clear that this thread no longer is.

I'll just close with the fact that the day after the election one of us will be happy,the other not.

As long as we keep justifying actions by stating "well he did it too", we are condoning and justifying the behavior. We would not accept that from our children and we should not accept that from our leadership. We can complain about the weakness of society and how young people have no sense of responsibility, but by our own actions we are teaching them exactly what we bemoan.

it's Debbie Wasserman Schultz

It's possible that Wasserman Schultz will be less detrimental to the Dems chances than Trump is to the Repubs chances.


One will be forgotten in a week. The other will likely cause eyes to roll through the first week November of.

Bombshell in the sense, apparently, that that the talking heads needed something to go on about endlessly but the general public is yawning--that kind of bombshell?

Unless it can be legitimately tied to Trump. That would get excitement.
