Things that Disqualify Democrat Candidates But Promote Republicans.

[BrightShinyGirl]

The original post refers to the 1970's and 1980s. Yet the 1990's to 2001 is to long ago.

Going with the time heals all wounds. The ex-president who stained the dress is still one highest regarded and influential people in the democrat party.

Not to mention politicians using influence and threats for personal financial gain of their families.

The fallacy of one side is without issue, is a true fallacy.

There’s no such thing as the “democrat party”. It’s hard to take you seriously when you don’t even know the names of the political parties in the United States.

Al Franken was pushed by both sides
“ In late 2017 a number of women accused Franken of sexual harassment. The allegations came amid a growing sexual misconduct scandal within Congress, and there were calls—particularly from other Democrats—for Franken to resign. Faced with a loss of support from within his party, Franken announced in December that he was stepping down in the coming weeks. He officially left office in January 2018.”

His biggest indiscretion? This picture!
Radio news anchor Leeann Tweeden released a photo this month showing the then-comedian Franken grinning while reaching out as if to grope her breasts as she slept on a military aircraft during a USO tour in 2006.
For reference .. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/...eden-is-photographed-for-news-photo/583907158
She approved of these pics earlier in her career

Twelve years later!! She comes out against Franken-stein. “He’s a monster!!”

And Franken just stepped down !

Now!! Go back and listen to why Lindsay Graham HAD to get Clinton out of the White House!!

Never mind Trump clearly abused his power over the Ukraine. No, let’s listen to the actual phone call. Freedom of information act!! It’s not Trump’s property, it’s ours!

A Spade is a spade until you sell your soul to the Orange Anti Christ

Honestly to the Lefties on the board how was I the first person to point out how assymetrical these accusations are. I'm not saying its okay to cheat on your spouse. I do however think that is a personal problem. If you wanted to compare Bill getting a BJ by a young woman who (according to her, she initiated the relationship) may have been intimidated by Clinton okay fine. I don't believe that happened mind you but there is a reason why most jobs at least on paper don't want you dating your boss. When your boss says "Suck the dick" he's asking the same way your parents asked you to take out the trash or do the dishes. I get that.

So putting that up against Trump cheating on all of his wives would be fair. Comparing it to assault is absurd.

This is something I see FAR too often on the LEft however is accepting the both sides bullshit. Both sides are not equally corrupt/extreme.

"Both-sides-ism" and "whaddaboutism" used to be confined to the fringe RWCJ members (Chobham, AJ, Vetty).

Now virtually every fecking MAGA dimwit trots it out regularly, often several times each day.

It's replaced HisArpy's patented "move the goalpost" excuse making as the most popular retort on the Political Board.

Being the Antichrist would instantly disqualify a Democratic Party candidate, but not The Donald!

It’s kind of an old thing, but with a new spin. Has anyone mentioned yet killing their dog?

Dog on Roof? What Was It Like for Romney's Pooch?​

Um, I know there’s gotta be another incident, but it’s currently escaping my gravel pit mind.

Huh, ok, congratulations on your nitpick, now please do your happy circle dance in celebration of your point.

I guess I made a mistake. Something most can never admit. I should have noted it as Democratic Party.

Maybe I should have stated as, members of the Democratic Party are Democrats. Or maybe, Democrats make up the Democratic Party.

yet either way, I think my point was fairly clear and obvious

Try to keep your situational historical outrage confined to the 21st century.
It gives you more intellectual gravitas.

Yes, I'm aware that Rightguide routinely yelps "the dead voted for Kennedy in 1960!"
and yes, I'm aware that AJ natters "the 16th amendment to the Constitution is...is...unconstitutional!"
and Chobham blathers "Democrats started the civil war to keep slavery, and founded the KKK when they lost".

We laugh AT them, though. Not with them.
Don't make us laugh at you.

Well Clinton was in office to start the 21st century.

I did not go back to the accusations of infidelities of the winner of the Kennedy election in 1960.

Though there is much to learn from history, which goes back a bit more than 24years.

True, but you not being disgusted here by Trump's monumental pile up of corrupt, criminal, and boorish behavior makes you disgusting too.

Did I defend Trump in any of my posts in this thread. If so, please show me.

My point is that those who think they stand on a mountain top of purity are looking straight across at Trump.

It is easy to see the errors of others and easily look past those we choose to.

The modern Republican Party is much worse than the modern Democratic Party when in comes to ethical behavior.

False equivalence is disingenuous.

So that is a bit of whataboutism, that the Repulicans are much worse than the Democrats worse.

Scoreboard according to BrightShinyGirl:
Democrats = Worse
Republicans = Much Worse

Not a good choice for the voters.

The Democrats are okay, but the Republicans are awful. It's a really obvious choice.
Do you want the overdone steak, or a plate of dogshit?

Is it orange dogshit???

That ^ could be a / the deciding factor…

Transporting a female minor across state lines for the purpose of sex.

Wrestling coach/House Representative covered for his friend on the coaching staff who sexually abused male college students.

Different wrestling coach/Speaker of the House sexually abused the young boys he was coaching.

Overdone steak is dogshit.

But, please if it makes you feel better about your "overdone dog shit steak", feel free to think the dog shit you are eating is steak.

Nah…

Democrats are mostly at Basecamp and the corrupt orange traitor and MAGAt "republicans" are at the summit.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

The rarer the steak the better. I actually prefer sushi, but since it's not on the menu, I'll vote Democrat and settle for my well-done steak.

I would like to sincerely thank you for your acknowledgement of this error. Well done on your part!

I hope this is not a military analogy from you. If so it is not a good one to defend your point, as those on higher have a substantial advantage.

Coming right up for @BrightShinyGirl as per order, one serving of dog shit steak.

Tho, we can agree on the rarer the steak the better.

Yeah, but no. Every 4 years we hear this and it comes almost exclusively from republicans trying to equate and excuse the many and myriad of questionable candidates they’ve put forward and then from the other 1/3 of the electorate that’s uninformed about politics but can always seem to hear the loud conservative barking over reasoned truth. Life is about making choices all the damn time that you don’t like: stay in bed or go to work; eat an apple or snarf the fritter. Sorry, but an aged biden now is infinitely better than trump at any point in his wretched, privileged life but especially now, today on 6/6/24 at 1:10pm est, and he’ll be even more so on November 5th.
