Single-issue voters are a big part of the problem. Evangelicals who will vote for anyone that’s anti-abortion, or gun nuts who will vote for whoever the NRA endorses, people like that are their own worst enemy. They’ll vote against their own interests as long as the candidate claims it’s the opposition that’s…

In life and politics there are, of course, many things that aren’t exactly black and white. So it’s not always easy to divine what a person’s true motivations are for how they vote..........This really isn’t one of those things with any grey area.

Is the woman talking about cat fighting and using the term “meow” the same woman who just last month was decrying the criticism she was getting as being anti-woman and sexist, or something like that?

Politico stopped following up on hearings related to his domestic violence charges because they “didn’t believe Trump was going to be taken seriously as the nominee”.

After taking care of whatever nasty business he was hired to do, he would turn around and become their worst nightmare, because now he has kompromat…

yeah, i read that article in teh last few days and its crazy. It seems like Bear STearns was really mobbed up if you look at the links b/n Ace Greenberg and all the seeming money laundering going on under his watch.

Every single one of those guys has previously uttered the words “actually, it’s about ethics in gaming journalism.”
