Just so we are clear it's not me you need to apologize for. But hey don't worry this will help you all win the next election. Keep gloating about a death everyone needs to hear it.

I think the president needs to wait at least a week after the funeral to make a nomination. I would say if he does it before the end of February he's in the clear but things start to get messing come March 1st. Every day that goes by makes it less bad for Republicans and more bad for Democrats, and then if he gets the nomination wrong it becomes a big problem as his 2nd shot at this would come far to late.

It shouldn't have to be said but the explanation in the title of this thread should result in a ban and each and every moderator owes a lot of people an apology for allowing that disgusting title for nearly 24 hours.

I really want to see a young guy jump into contention. I was a Tony Stewart fan forever and am trying to find someone new to get behind. Would love to see Austin Dillon win a few races, but if he doesn't do it this year he might just be a middle of the pack guy. A lot of guys who are fun to root against though.

Trumps not looking good tonight, some of it might be nitpicky but as much as I don't care to defend George W Bush using Democrat talking points on 9-11 and the Iraq war is stupid. Ron Paul was anti war without using Democrat talking points.
-
I expect Obama to make a good play on this one, he can go on the right side of moderate and still make up major ground. Plus it might help the Democrats win the election ensuring they get to make a couple more nominations.
-
She would do that if she wanted to retire knowing her point of view won't be lost. If she doesn't want to retire she won't.
-
Maybe Ruth bater Ginsberg will announce an early 2017 retirement date and Obamas nominee can get through.
-
Trump would nominate someone to the left of Obama's nomination. To even mention trump in this context is disgusting.
-
Today assuming Obama successfully is able to nominate someone he wants the constitution died. This election will now be meaningless. The united States of America is over.
-
Back to the topic that matters the 2016 election. Huge news Jim Gilmore has dropped out. I can only assume this is good news for Trump as I would expect him to get 6 or 7 of Gillmore's supporters.

Honesty is refreshing, i respect that.

I think murder should be a punishable crime, I guess that solution hasn't stopped all murder but that is in fact a solution. Sometimes the best solutions are already on the books, I guess we're back to the demand for new laws for the sake of new laws. I get that mass shootings are a different problem, but even the president admitted he has yet to hear a solution to that problem from his own side.
-
I'm not the one demanding we strike a match to the constitution. If you're willing to take guns from cops the secret service and the military I will respect your view as it's consistent. Citizens shouldn't have to fight this hard for the rights we are guaranteed. In any event I think at this point we all know my perspective and we all know the other sides. I respect your point of view but reversing the constitution without being honest about it is something I can't respect.

Car makers are not responsible for drunk or reckless drivers which are the cause of the vast majority of accidents. Just because I'm sick of reading it and it would in no way stop school shootings I do not find a limit on the amount of guns a person can have as a reasonable demand. That is at the core of the 2nd amendment. If you started by saying 2 or 3 guns I might disagree but at least I would see it as reasonable from your perspective. Just so we are clear what your suggesting means that if for whatever reason something goes wrong with your gun you don't care. It's probably so rare that it shouldn't be at the core of the debate right, maybe it would it would only amount to say the same # of deaths as mass shootings. Sorry on some things like the constitution there is no room for compromise. We will always agree to reasonable solutions that work, but so far I have seen nothing to suggest the other side of the debate has ever come up with any.
-
Without question. Way more children die in auto accidents each and every year. The ability to distort perspective while easy is pretty pathetic.
-
I've never heard of that concept, I would think most people would want more then one person to have access to one gun,for example if I had already been shot I sure hope my wife would be able to pull the trigger. Assuming it's impossible for anyone to manipulate the system, and it never has any glitches I have no problem with that concept. It seems like you might run into problems creating something that passes that criteria, but to that I say try harder or deal with the fact you won't find agreement. I get that these things all sound paranoid, but the 2nd amendment rights are that critical. This is where the sacrifice has to be made. If there were 10 of these mass school shootings a year I'd probably be willing to agree with you but something this rare as tragic as it is has to be put in the proper perspective. Just like auto accidents or plane crashes we have to weigh the good with the bad. Maybe you don't think the good amounts to as much as I think it does, but we could start banning a lot of things if we focus on the worst things that ever happen as a result.

Put a sign on your front door saying you don't own guns. I don't own a gun either, but we have enough guns in this country that the criminal can't count on that. The logic being used here is insane. I'm sorry for implying guns prevent crime how silly of me. As for being bothered by someone who has a basement full of guns, how far will you take this I'm not trying to take your guns I just want most of them garbage? It would be one thing if an attempt at meaningful legislation took place after Sandy Hook but it didn't. Instead the left think it's a political wild card they can play any time they don't want to be reasonable. I'm stupid because I know you want to take all guns I get it. Repeat the same three lies over and over.

The secret service hasn't needed one as far as I know to protect the president in over 30 years, of course we will never know how many acts they have prevented because people are rational to know any attempt to harm the president is a suicide mission. I assume far less people break into homes because of guns, far fewer rapes occur because of guns and far fewer people sleep with other peoples wives because of guns. Pulling the trigger is not the only way a gun protects people. As much as we are now focused on it law enforcement rarely pulls the trigger yet there is no question the gun saves police officers and others lives. I assume the other side of this debate is fully aware of these things as I don't assume other people to be stupid. So the question is why do they pretend to be ignorant. I think we all know why.
-
I get we want to ignore the true purpose of guns. That's fine, just understand we will never allow your side of the discussion to destroy our country. Plus you keep saying you don't want to ban guns so the next school shooting is on you. Guess only the president is good enough to be protected by guns.
-
bad things happen if you have an actual solution let me know.
-
so that's why the secret service has guns? That's not even why gang members have guns.
-
. I understand the difference but I also understand the 2nd amendment. Some people clearly don't and will talk about 25 kids who died 6 years ago forever. Or was it the 12 kids who died 15 years ago that your willing to destroy this country over?
-
fair standered. I don't really know how I'll get home from work once they ban cars.

Check out the Ted Cruz office space commercial. I love stuff like that. Nothing will top Bernie's ads but Cruz has some good comedy going.
