    I had a friend that used to scream "GO WHERE THE DANG FOOD" is every time he saw one of the donation commercials about the starving kids in Biafra.

    Hypocrisy is never irrelevant.

    Trump is a hypocrite. Still not irrelevant?

    So are the folks who supported Obama and now criticize Trump. What's your point?

    He belittled her and her government. He was addressing her leadership when he said they are want everybody to do it for them.

    So in comparing Republicans to Republicans the Republicans aren't doing so well. That's quite a friend you have there.

    I said 'leftists' not 'leftists here'. Please read and understand before you respond. Look over the thread more carefully if you choose but please don't bother responding until you do.

    She works for the NH GOP. They are watching the polls. You do understand that turnout is vital? There is too much unhappiness with the GOP, according to what their polls are showing.

    Have you ever worked on a political campaign? I've worked for many here in NH, from Presidential to Congressional to even state level. Apathy or unhappiness hurts turnouts.

    The GOP isn't doing well now. They need to turn it around before 2018.

    Probably the biggest hypocrite to ever occupy that office.

    Yes, Fred. That's the alternative to the GOP winning.

    I'm pretty sure politics don't work this way.

    Anyone with an ounce of integrity would have immediately told Trump to go ___ himself and resign. It's obvious that the SofS doesn't have any integrity.

    Are you serious? Here are some of your quotes.

    In response to my musing whether MMC would be happier on a RW only board:
    What can this mean, except MMC should stay to help with this intervention to help 'leftists' here think rationally again?


    I am here.


    After I said I understand the anger of people calling Trump names, you said
    You appear to be calling the people who call Trump names, 'leftists'. That includes many on the board.

    So you say leftists are indoctrinated, imply that leftist posters here need an intervention to think better, toy with calling me a leftist, imply that those calling Trump names are leftists, and then sidestep justifying your claim of indoctrination because you say you weren't talking about people on this board? Something tells me you wouldn't accept that standard of argument from a leftist.

    It's strange how often people do exactly the things they hate in others.

    I guess this makes you a hypocrite, right?

    Here's some clues for you: The island has over 3,600,000 people on about 3,424 square miles of mountainous terrain. So your 3,400 40 long containers is still 24 short to have one for each square mile. And it means that 1,059 people would have to share the contents of each 40 foot long container.

    Maybe you think that is enough but most rational people don't.

    So there is a comparison then, with the Republicans dropping and the Dems having a chance at winning. A sound analysis, perhaps.

    In response to my musing whether MMC would be happier on a RW only board: "That wouldn't accomplish anything. Left-wingers have been indoctrinated rather than educated and they need something akin to an 'intervention' in order to begin thinking rationally again".
    It means exactly what it says, that's what it means. I said nothing about MMC but only 'leftwingers'. Anything more than that is your reading something that isn't there.
    I appear to be? Again, read what I post and not what I 'appear' to be saying. That shouldn't be so difficult.
    I am not 'implying' anything. I'm very straightforward. Read the damned post, understand it thoroughly, then double check by reading it again.

    Re-read the OP that's just in one port only. 1) It's no our fault they are paralyzed with stupidity. 2) It's not our problem they failed to prepare for the inevitable. BTW that's 8,129,400 cases of water, that's on the ground in San Juan as of 9/28.
