Regular citizens are not part of a well regulated militia. Women should not have to protect themselves from violent attacks; there should not be violent attacks. That we think violent attacks are a normal part of life is symptomatic of our societies’ inaction in addressing the conditions that allow violent attacks to…

And I suppose it’s wrong, but whenever I read LongSnake or similar commenters, I always picture them sounding like an adolescent boy with his voice squeaking because it’s changing. Even more so when they get in a huff, which they inevitably do if you refuse to agree that Hillary is an evil meanie pants.

1) But the Iranian regime is our enemy. Many of their acts are directly opposed to our national interest and so yes they are our enemy.

LongSnake is a typical Gawkerite. Comes onto Jezebel and then is outraged it’s not the sausage fest frat boy echo chamber that he gets at Gawker. Although, it’s kind of impossible to take a guy seriously who called himself “Longsnake”. Apparently that is shorter than “no my penis isn’t small!”

Well, shit. What am I supposed to do for righteous indignation now? We both feel like the other candidate has problems that the other side won’t acknowledge, and that our candidate is better. That’s elections, I guess. No foul there.

I don't understand the whole gun thing at all. They only exist to kill; they are tools of destruction. I also don't understand the current legal interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, nor how it can be reconciled with the values of a civilized society. The 2nd Amendment has to go.

I don’t hate Sanders, Longsnake. I hate the fact that your side of the aisle presents him as Christ incarnate without acknowledging his flaws, or even worse, defending the indefensible hill.

A deal breaker IS a purity test. Lol. How young are you?

Don’t be silly, Bernie voted to fund the war over and over like a good patriot representing a (mainly) rural state. He could have voted his conscience, the funding always passed by a HUGE majority, but he didn’t......or did he?

That is not what she, or anyone else, did. Yes, the Resolution that passed authorized the war, but also stated explicitly that the President had to exhaust every option of diplomacy before taking that step. Bush betrayed that provision and failed the trust of Congress, and the responsibility lies with him.

Kind of slow on the uptake aren’t you, champ? I was pointing out that having a holier than thou attitude, can come back and bite you on the butt, genius. Because Bernie has some skeletons in his closet too. I could care less if you agree with “my opinion”.

I’ve read what Sanders had to say about the Iraq War. I’m not sure I’d call it researched so much as it was just him continuing to occupy the exact same space he always has on topics like that. It should be noted that many people who voted in favor of the Iraq War said similar thing about the risks and the…

Sir, would you vote for someone who voted against something you believe in very strongly?

Right, but there are a LOT of issues- a lot of people misled their fellow politicians. If the things that Bush and co. had been saying were TRUE, with regards to WMDs, it makes the case look stronger. We have the benefit of hindsight.

But the way it is used is frequently as a purity test. Human beings make mistakes. Sometimes terrible ones with tragic consequences. The question is what they do after those mistakes. Are we suggesting that Clinton was a bad Senator subsequently, or a bad Secretary of State? Are we suggesting that her own statements…

Are you willing to do so at the price of four potential Supreme Court Justice appointees over the next 4-8 years, and the certain loss of Roe v. Wade? And if you think Roe v. Wade would survive a Trump/Cruz/Kasich administration, please take a close look at what’s going on with TRAP laws in Texas and Ohio right now,…

This is the kind of coverage, summary, and analysis I was hoping for a long time ago and I’m a liiiiiitle annoyed that we didn’t get it until we’re halfway through the primary season and New York (of course New York) is voting.

Barry, I hate to break it to you but Lincoln Chafee dropped out of the race months ago and this write-in fantasy of yours is doomed to fail.

This article is a summation of the deep feelings of unease the rest of the world is feeling knowing how close we all are to being nuked by spoiled squabbling children.

This article is a perfect summation for my deep feelings of unease about this election. Try as I might I can’t get comfortable. I’ve set my course and I’ll make my peace with it, but at best, it will be an uneasy peace.
